PeakMonsters Tip for Owners: Use Rental Mismatch!

avatar

Anyone invested in Splinterlands probably uses PeakMonsters. If you are using Splinterlands, but not PeakMonsters, you are missing out on a serious toolkit for all Splinterlands players and investors.

Just like PeakD, the other big application developed by the same team, PeakMonsters has many cool features. But are you taking advantage of them? Because most people get used to a certain way of doing things and ignore everything else like they didn't exist.

I admit to be this way for me on PeakD. I probably only use 20%-30% of the application's capabilities, even though I am aware of many of them. I have a routine and stick to it.

I assume it's the same about PeakMonsters and its users.

For example, one of the most useful feature PeakMonsters has for managing your rentals is Rental Mismatch.

For context, I have the cards I usually rent out on a separate account, so they don't mix with my playing deck by accident. But I think if one wants to keep everything under one account, defining and using sets could be a way to do it.

Now let's get back to rental mismatch. I suppose it can be used for different purposes, but I use it to select with ease cards that I have placed on the rental market and aren't rented yet because there is a better offer out there AND cards that are rented out but the market price has soared compared to the price I'm renting them at.

And rental mismatch helps to filter out cards that are near the market price or those that are at the minimum of 0.1 DEC/day in the first case, and only shows me cards with the biggest price increase compared to mine in the second case.

Here's how to use it. Remember, I have my rentals in a separate account and this works in my case, not if you have all your cards in the same account.

How to easily change price on your cards that haven't been rented out because there is a better offer on the market?

From My Cards (Bulk View), click Compare Your Rentals.

From the right-side options, check "Yes" on "For Rent", check "No" on "Delegated", and set your minimum threshold for the market price vs your price at Rental Mismatch (Renter).

If you set 1.10 like I did, only cards where the market price dropped by at least 1.10x will be shown to you.

Then you can select all cards.

And change their price.

Use Load button to automatically load the lowest price on the market.

Depending how many cards you have, it'll take a while to load prices for all cards. When it's finished, you can click Confirm on this popup.

If you can't, one of two things happened:

  • the loading function failed at some point and you need to try again
  • there are some cards you want to rent which don't have a market price yet - this cannot happen if you change price, but can happen when you rent the cards initially - what you must do in this case is to set a price manually for the cards which don't have one - you need to go through the list of cards manually to see which ones don't have any price

That's it.

How to filter the cards that you have rented out and have risen in price significantly?

Use the same step as above to Compare Your Rentals.

From the right-side options, check "Yes" on "For Rent", check "Yes" on "Delegated", and set your minimum threshold for the market price vs your price at Rental Mismatch (Owner).

image.png

The example above will filter all cards you have for rent and rented (delegated to someone) and for which the market price increased by at least 4x compared to yours. The lower number you set, the more results you'll get and you might not want to stop renting all of them at once.

Then you select all cards as explained above and choose to stop renting them (if you want to change the price, because there is such a big difference):

What you have to do now is get back to PeakMonsters from time to time and check what rentals returned, so you can rent out again, at the new market price.

Is Rental Mismatch Useful?

If you have lots of cards for rent, it is a must to use it. I remember a time when I didn't know about it and I selected cards to stop renting down to a certain price multiplier manually. That was a lot of wasted time.

Interesting feature, thanks for sharing, I have a feeling I am renting out way too low

Yeah, you need to move with the market to have your cards rented out as much as possible, but not too low.

Good to know ... but as I have all my cards in the same account, it won't work for me.

Try working with sets. I know someone who is using them with great results.

I will have to try the rental mismatch... For now, I can still control my rentals, but it could be overwhelming if I add 10-20 more cards... It would be great to see stable prices for rentals, and not these volatile pumps and dumps depending on the end of the season...

It's not just the EOS. They seem to vary A LOT during the season as well.

It looks like a good tool to use. There does seem to be a lot of variation in prices even during the season. I check the bulk rate for rent and try not to have any that are much higher in CP than that level.

Yes, much more than it used to be a couple of months ago from my own experience. It probably has to do with the drop in price of DEC before the rental prices find a new sort of equilibrium during the season (although they will always vary).

I have used the "Compare Your Rentals" before, but was not familiar with the "Rental Mismatch". Thank you for the explanation.

It's a very useful feature, especially if you have a lot of cards to rent out.

I think I should use the lowest option more and the rental mismatch should help me filter the cards. I can just check to make sure the DEC/CP is not skewed.

Yep, the second part is the most useful. And keeping an eye on the DEC/CP ratio to see if it's not skewed is a good idea, because it can happen. So you don't necessarily have to update ALL prices or stop ALL rentals that are filtered using these methods, you can indeed look at the DEC/CP ratio too, but that will take more time, especially if you have many cards to check.

Renting isn't an option for me at the moment but I'll bookmark this for later info. Thanks!

Sure! For a few cards you rent out it isn't as helpful though, because those you can check individually. But once the number grows, it becomes a time consuming task.

The more I read about Splinter Lands the more I think it is too complicated for me. Thanks for sharing on ListNerds.

There are many layers to Splinterlands. You don't have to be involved in all aspects of the game. Having a few assets and renting them out is easier than in the real world, and it doesn't even take the process I described above. This is only if you have a ton of cards to rent out and you're having issues managing them without wasting a lot of time for that activity. !CTP

Great information @gadrian. As you know, I am not much of a gamer but I do see value in buying and renting cards. I will bookmark this so I can find it again. Thanks for sharing.

There are people who do only that or other 'investment type' activities that have nothing to do with playing the game, which is perfectly fine. Not everyone needs to play the game to take advantage of this thriving game economy. !CTP

I am renting sl cards for some weeks now and your post really taught me some more tricks which will possibly increase the APR. Thanks for sharing this helpful piece. Sharing it on listnerds.

Yes, I believe they will. They do for me.

Thanks for sharing that valuable information. I don't know where you guys find all the time to do multiple emails, read emails and play splinterlands. I sure couldn't do it. Thanks for sharing.

I only email once a day. But I suppose someone found this post useful enough to share it on his account.

We need to push ourselves, sometimes I find it difficult myself. And prioritize, of course.
