Splinterlands | The packs are still mucho worth it!
Yesterday we had a season end in Splinterlands and I guess it was the first season entirely after the big SPS start. I really find I can notice that there is a big influx in players and also what kind of cards they are using.
Previously there were always a bot of bots around which have disappeared also entirely as it feels, and new players which a mixture in Untamed and reward cards with sometimes some Betas in there are the opponent now in the gold league. Different dynamics I would say, because from a lot of the Untamed card I don't really know what abilities they have when they start leveling up and how usefull this is in my game.
Dice
A lot of people currently don't find it very attractive to buy DICE packs because they feel expensive. I do understand this message honestly when buying them with fiat, but buying them with in-game DEC doesn't hurt so much and still the rewards (especially if you are using some of the potions there, which actually just might work) are great!.
Let's have a look at this pack which I bought yesterday:
3000 DEC which is the normal price for a DICE pack versus the 2000 for an Untamed will cost you with todays price: 47.6 HIVE or 22 bucks. If you are in a guild a pack will cost you 2820 for with a discount which isn't bad.
Yesterday I had this draw and let's have a look at the prices from these cards:
Golden Goblin Dartling: $6.50
Golden Naga Brute: $5.84
Brighton Bloom: $3.33
Battering Ram: $0.44
Dragon Spirit: $2.75
Which is about $18 bucks in rewards at the moment. Yesterday when I was checking both of the goldenones where going for around $9 bucks a piece, which means the market is big time fluctuating and you need to be selective in when you want to sell something.
In my 30 reward chests was literally nothing special as well as in my alt account outside for about 900 DEC which is still around $8 for the collection. You can not have all the luck every time.
Collection growth
Now we come to the interesting part again. The total value of the cards. I saw a saying about NFTs recently in Twitter which is so damn true
'* You can not smoke the same joint twice*'
Which means you really have to be selective when you would want to sell a card, because once it is gone, it is really gone. When I look at buddy 'Kron the Undying' it is currently on the market for $450 bucks and I have sold two of them already along the way for less that $80. You get what I mean right? Selling isn't always the best deal, but money in your pocket is on the other hand.
Looking back at my previous posts about wallet growth stating:
9 days ago wallet $7500 bucks
20 days ago wallet $4097 bucks
2 months ago wallet $1463
And all of this is with selling cards along the way and selling DEC along the way. And this is even without mentioning the daily SPS airdrop which gave me already $300 bucks of free value just for owning these cards.
Weird stuff dudes.
I mentioned the game to a couple of friends a while back and they ask me if it was worth their time and their $10 bucks investment in the card pack. I would say it surely is, but who am I ;)
Give it a try with Splinterlands
For those of us who've never tried (and admit to being more than a little curious) is there a guide for total newbies? A How to Play?
Do you have a separate account for playing from your blogging account?
Maybe you could write a beginners post for me next. 😆
Heheheheh it got you triggered somewhere!
Well I guess with the FAQ you can already get somewhere indeed. When you start playing with a starter pack for the $10 you get a card deck with a bit of everything in there so you really can get going from there. With the daily quests you can get rewards which can help you improve you cards.
In the past I did buy some cards from the market which I saw a lot of opponents use to win from me. Those cards are expensive now, but they can also be found in the rewards. the thing is..i have been playing for 3 years now already so picked up so much along the way. Also with my alt account it works because I sent it the others. Which means, starting to play is no loss like ever, just your time I would say
maybe I will write the newbie post one day indeed hahaha
If you could buy packs with $$ they would be flying out like nobodies business. Splinterlands is struggling under the load of new peeps joining. Chaos Legion will sell well just because of the hype, regardless of the power creep or otherwise.
But you can right? When you buy credits...or am I wrong about this?
Well indeed with DEC is just very expensive at the moment but while playing..it is the same as before..I make around 40-50 DEC per win and that was always the case, so with that in mind (and not selling) the price is the same ;)))
I am curious on how chaos legion will look indeed!
Not those Dice packs (the only ones you can buy). Splinterlands seems to be down more than it's up these days. I will have a look later at what you can use credits for.
Nice analysis. A friend sold off his Kron at 200$ without telling me, I was super pissed because I normally manage the account and he was just clicking stuff around, now the card is almost double in value.
For me, each time I’ve wanted to sell a card and ended up not, I only get back to see how much more the card is worth. It puts me in a very tight position because as you’ve said cash at hand is important. I don’t know. Just keep playing and accumulating dec maybe.

Well the price of DEC is absolutely decent at the moment and the amount of DEC per won battle is also quite good I must say so also decent gains to make from this is you want to keep your Kron in your hand.
I dont know what to do with the cards dude, I am itching to sell because free money, but what is the decent moment for it..So difficult
Lol my headache

$10 bucks investment is worth it !!! there is no gas fee in this game
No gas fee and no tranaction fee. I didnt even think about that that is something special. But in other games this is surely a big issue indeed what splinterlands doesnt have
