Splinterlands: The Economy Of Good, Bad & Worthwhile Choices.

A counter strategy is bested by another super strategy and this has been the best aspect of playing splinterlands. Overtime, it's making the right choices irrespective of resources or the time taken, that eventually makes it worthwhile.

The best aspect of playing is to be realistic with oneself. The truth is, everyone is allowed to play based on the financial power they can muster, so it's outrageous to aim for unrealistic heights when one is limited in mostly resources.

The splinterlands economy is very vast, this means that people are allowed to be vested in different money making aspect and this sorts of defines the priority of people who are either in for the thrill or in for the money. Most times, it's often one priority that defines what a person channels money into be it buying more DEC to earn SPS or building the ultimate deck to compete and for rentals.


Most of the time, one's strategy is probably a replica of another person's strategy, only that most times, what we do to make the strategies our own is to take notice of the loophole or the weakest spots, then making it better, in our own unique way.

Take a lot at the Social aspects of Splinterlands, it's become a sort of user's manual, guide and retention. Without the main blogging aspect of hive, it would be difficult for people learn. This means that "Hive the blogosphere" has been beneficial to splinterlands, as much as it has to "Hive the blockchain"

Many people have come to become masters of the game and this is because they've learned through the conglomerate of individuals participating and sharing their ideas through the Splinterlands community on hive itself.


This is to say the social aspect of Hive, complements the game as a sort of retentive initiative, this is why people would continue playing the game, despite the FUD that generally comes with low prices. The truth is, I've gotten better at making decisions, irrespective of the fact that I am still learning and making moves. It's more of a marathon for me.

The process has been very slow, but it's steady and continues, I've had the opportunity to actually improve on some of the things I've been taught, but believe me, making the money decisions is often the toughest. Initially I was happy buying only seven packs from the presales, but after seeing the excitement that would come with the prospect of having more opportunities for airdrop, I decided to buy a 110+ packs.

It took the gas out of my pocket, but sometimes investing in NFTS packs for games like Splinterlands isn't logical. It's all about testing one's mental resolve. However, I knew I could increase my collection power by opening the packs, I could increase my SPS points by holding the packs, then I could sell some in the future as well. But I needed more collection point to hit 5000.

So I opened 5 packs out of my 110 packs that I bought and them got 5k collection power to enable me participate up to bronze I. I reckon I'll need 15k to get into Silver III, but this isn't for the moment. Like I said, I've set a realistic target for myself and this is to actually gather the little rewards for myself for the time they'll be actually worth something.


The building process is slow, for buying the packs about two weeks ago, I got IZA THE FANGED. The one thing I've come to learn about people is that they often find it too rigorous to undergo the building process, but they're angry at the people who choose to do so and probably got to the top.

I got a very retrogression comment on one of my posts and this made me realize that sometimes people try to demean the struggles of others who are reaping the dividends of hard work, while they themselves would never go through that phase of hard work.

I've accrued a lot of losses going forward, but this isn't evident what would be evident would be the result of the efforts and some would talk our of proportion or hold negative opinion. People not wanting to build is retrogressive and like I've said, it's a marathon of good and bad choices and nothing is guaranteed.

Thanks bro, I think sticking with the packs is what I eventually would do. This is because I want to see if it would be possible to maximize my initial investment. Hopefully I can be able to do that.

I have noticed some people are a bit more frustrated with Splinterlands after prices dropped down. However I think it will rebound eventually and it's still a great way to earn from games. Taking the build is never a wrong thing and I hope you get enough power for Silver soon enough.

I hope I can open up to 20 packs and it can push me to silver 3 or so, but I'm pretty satisfied at playing it safe and steady. The prices will probably come good again. For now, I just want to build.

Nice cards you got there... The Epics will help out in battles a lot. Hopefully some good rewards at the end of the season will push you to Silver III.

Not opening the packs has to be the best thing you can do, especially if the markets rebound and we get a sellout within the next 2-3 months. The prices should go up quite a bit and on top of that all the SPS you get by holding them.. Myself, I can't wait to see if the decision to hold packs will be the right one in the long-term!

We're all hoping a sellout can actually improve the price of the packs, definitely I feel it should. The decision to hold onto them rather than opening them is challenging. Thank you for curating.

I see SPS claim drops marked Binance so I hope those SPS count towards voucher drops?

Hi @josediccus
Good Luck with your strategy.
I am new, so I am building up a rental collection, and trying to promote my DeFi as a service business through free delegations. I only bought 52 packs, as it was a lot of money, plus vouchers were hard to come by at a decent price.
I am trying to accumulate SPS, but currently unstaking on Splinterlands to invest on Cubfinance at twice the APR. If your interested in more details on that strategy let me know.
Take care, and stick with your plan, it’s best to be a self made man who understands how he got where he is, then someone lucky with no clue what to do.
The game here is longterm.

Thank you, I'm trying my best actually to do this. I probably don't have enough resources for rentals at the moment, but this would probably change with time. At the moment, I'm trying to gather up whatever I can. Then play and keep growing my deck and holding.
