Splinterlands - Season 131 Wrap Up! - Glints Are Here!
Hello Splinterfans!
The very long season 131 has finished and it means these are the last chest that we earn. It is sort of an end of an era really. It is still hard for me to imagine there being no more chest earned anymore. Instead we have the new Glint token! More on that in a moment, but first, my season results.
My bot managed to get into Champion III which was the second time it got so high I think. Meanwhile, I was battling away in modern, but could only reach Gold III. This was better than last season, but it is still not so easy to climb up the leagues in modern.
With no SPS rewards at the end of the season, my earnings were therefore a disaster compared to last time in $ terms. Although I did get a decent haul of cards, including 3 legendaries and some nice gold foils that made up for it.
After my last season bonanza season results, I had some high hopes for this season again, but my hopes were dashed as I did not even get half of the last time $ rewards. It was comforting to get some nice cards though and gold foils.
It is hard to believe this will be my last season chests and now going forward, it will be all about the Glints!
The overhaul to ranked battle play will also mean only SPS can be earned for the ranked battles. I have checked and I won 1.5 SPS for a win in Silver II which is pretty decent. My bot in wild earned around 2 SPS for a win in Diamond II. So it looks like the money is in the modern league and probably much better the higher you climb. This could entice more players back to earn and renting some decks to compete.
Of course, battling in modern is no roll over and I could only reach Gold III by the last days of the season. It is a real struggle.
My staked SPS has increased to 78 273 (77 491). This is a nice increase for the season. I do not unstake any and keep stacking.
As expected, my overall SPS earnings were much lower than last season and I hope that this season they might pick up a little.
This season, after upgrading my alt with most of the rebellion deck, I just upgraded Sea Stalker to my main. I am still trying to get the remaining Riftwatcher cards I need. I also added a cheap Fire Elemental from the untamed set. Some nice ranged attack added to my deck.
After winning a battle and earning some Glints, I also tried out the new Reward Shop. I don't know who Gwen is, but apparently its his shop.
I had enough Glints for an Adept Draw, so I bought one of these and got a reward card Coastal Sentry which is always good. I still didn't max that one out yet. I noticed you cannot see your purchases in PeakMonsters anymore like you could see your rewards chests. I am interested to see how much Glint I can earn and what reward cards I can get.
I see there are also some titles that could be interesting for some players. I am not sure I would be able to earn enough to buy one, but it would be good to try and get one. For those with maxed out reward cards, that is probably a great motivation to stack glints.
How was your season?
That's all for this update, thanks for reading.

It's looking like a disaster on paper, but I don't want to criticize the changes yet. It's weird not getting any single SPS in the rewards, feels really weird IMO
It will be hard not getting the big bags of SPS that we sometimes get. However, the ranked rewards SPS are double the old amounts.
Well they could have just given us the last batch of regular rewards before starting afresh. First time getting diamond chests, and I really was expectant.
Yeah, that is a shame no End of season cheats...
@tipu curate
Thanks for your support.
Oh my! The bot didn't reply
I didn't realize you were using a bot now. I had a pretty good end of season myself this time. I even pulled some gold foil legendries on one of my accounts. I don't really understand all of this glint stuff, but I am sure I will figure it out. I've heard some people are not happy that there is little potential to actually earn crypto that can be converted now. It could turn a lot of people off.
Yeah, when I can't play, I let the bot run for me. I saw the SPS returns are higher for ranked battles, but it is strange to not get SPS rewards anymore. Nice work with the gf legendary pulls.
I think those SPS rewards are mostly for Modern too, so in Wild we are likely going to see a reduction in earnings. From what I heard anyway.
I think you are right. Plus a 50% glint bonus in modern.
Great EOS! You did awesome! Mine was a bit disappointing, but it could have been worse! I haven't tried the glint out yet, we shall see how it goes.
Thanks, I tested the glints and can see it will be good to choose your rewards.
You mentioned about your bot
Do you use bot to play?
I play manually and with a bot when I don't have time.
wait what when did u start botting lol
A while ago
o.o I see. are you getting crown chaser whtielist?
It will be strange for a while without any loot chests, no daily focuses, and a Wild format that appears to move toward a secondhand format compared to Modern.
It is tip towing to a world without bots? Let's see! So far I am enjoying the changes, but the no chests takes some getting used to.
I believe we are going in the opposite direction. Not sure about Splinterlands, but the world as a whole.
Yes, it seems that way. Wen willElon release the robots (with AI)?
I don't know. It's a race, so the first to the market, unless it's a bust, has a major advantage.
Happy month of April,
The potential of Glint is interesting. Title and Soul Bound Cards are my target.
Have you got an idea of what you will do with your Glint?
Thank you for sharing this informative article

Yes, I would like to finish off my soulbound card collection and buy a title. That would be pretty cool. Happy start to the new season!
Thanks
