Land Goals Back in Focus Starting This Week * My Hive Goals (Week 45 2023)

I include a link to the initial goal-setting post for 2023, for reference, if needed.

Tomorrow Land 1.5 will be rolled out publicly if nothing else shows up to postpone it once again.

Last week I burned my GF gladiator cards for DEC since I don't use them in brawls. Because they are soulbound, this was the only way to make some DEC on them, since they couldn't be sold. They couldn't be used on land yet, just like the soulbound reward cards, but the latter cannot be burned for DEC either. This makes sense, since the declared reasoning for their introduction was to reduce farming, and if they could have been burned for DEC bot farms would have had an incentive to continue to operate.

Anyway, that pushed my DEC stash a little higher, but still far from my year-end goal. I have 1.5m DEC and I'd need 2.2m DEC by the end of the year.

I'll have to think about it, but maybe I should reevaluate the DEC amounts based on the actual cards that I'll use, instead of max-level cards, since there are enough cases where I won't use max-level cards, and the DEC requirements are lower.

I want to start the land game and see how things can be adjusted in time. I already want to start with a temporary strategy which I intend to update after about a week. That will also allow me to correct certain mistakes I might make in the initial rush. I'll also see how much grain I need to feed my workers and how much more or less I need for other scenarios.

Let's see what has changed since last week regarding my Hive goals.

HIVE Power (HP) + HBD in Savings Main Goal

My staked HIVE reached 37,127 HP this week, 122 HP more than last week. I am on target with the PUM challenge for November. My HBD savings remain at 200 HBD.

Here's what the evolution of the HP+HBD goal looks like:

I don't want to jinx (regarding price evolution), but that progress finally looks almost as it should be right now.

LEO Staked Main Goal

I staked only 150 LEO this week and reached 21,150 LP. My powerup from this week is below what is needed to achieve my year-end target, but I forgot about the LPUD that is coming in a few days, and needed to keep some LEO for that too.

I currently need to stake 193 LEO weekly (higher than 188 LEO last week) to reach the target by the year-end.

Splinterlands Land Expansion Main Focus

Land expansion's main focus extends throughout 2023. Unless I change the strategy, it will be the only main focus / main goal for Splinterlands in 2023. But there will be several 1-3 months goals.

First Land-Related Goal: DEC/DEC-B Saved - Completed

This goal is COMPLETED.

Deadline (passed): When DEC-B offer runs out, either because all were sold out or because the time limit was reached (April 9th).

Target to consider the goal completed: 1.5 mil. DEC-B saved. Done!

DEC Saved 2 Goal - Stage 1 Completed

[COMPLETED] Deadline stage 1: June
Deadline stage 2: extended to the end of 2023 from the launch of Land 1.5
Deadline stage 3: Postponed to 2024 (considered missed for 2023)

Target to consider the goal completed:

• stage 1: 1.2m DEC (COMPLETED)
• stage 2: 2.2 DEC (1m additional DEC)
• stage 3: 5 DEC (2.8m additional DEC)

Current situation: 1.502m DEC (liquid).

Note: Getting ready for Land 1.5 tomorrow. Lots of activity expected.

New Land-Related Goal: Cards for Staking on Land Stage 2 Completed

^{The purpose of this goal is to build the amount of high PP cards I need for staking on my tract.}

^{We will need to fill 5 slots per plot with staked cards, without requiring summoners (that doesn't mean they can't be used as regular cards).}

So, what are the details of this goal?

Deadline:

• [COMPLETED] Stage 1: June 2023
• [COMPLETED] Stage 1.5: August/whenever Land 1.5 is launched
• Stage 2: End of 2023? (this will be a new goal)

The total number of maxed-level* cards needed for staking on land: 500 (5 x 100).

• stage 1: need 120 cards for land by the deadline (decreased from 220) COMPLETED
• stretch goal: have optimized cards for 24 plots COMPLETED
• stage 1.5: need 220 cards for land by the deadline COMPLETED
• stage 2: have 500 cards for land
• stretch goal: have optimized cards for 44 plots

(*) any card with at least 1000 PP suitable for the terrain types I own will do (better for better plots); doesn't have to be maxed; temporarily lowered the minimum to 800 PP. Will reduce it further for the initial stages of the gameplay of land.

Current situation total: 144 / 500 (28%), but counted at least 220

Current situation stage 2: 144 / 500

Time remaining until Stage 2 deadline: ?

Note: Mainly waiting for Land with this goal.

Comments Made

Original goal: 18k, REDUCED to 17k, by the end of 2023.

I started this week with a total of 16439 comments made.

Ended the week with 16510 comments made, which brings the number of my comments during this week to 71, which is exactly my needed weekly average.

I now need an average of 71 comments weekly to reach the goal of 17k.

Weekly Buy - ON HOLD

Currently on hold. Waiting to see if I need a little push with my goals at the end of the year, and with which goals...
