Another season of @splinterlands has come to an end, Season 116, which lasted from July 31st to August 14th, marking my 9th season in this incredibly fun #play2earn game. Let's analyze my performance.

The Goal

The goal remains the same: play in Gold, climb to Diamond by the end of the season to get better chests in the following season. It's my "comfort zone" where I handle well with the various abilities available in the cards; my xbot lite works 😀 (it doesn't play in Diamond league and beyond); I usually make a good profit despite renting all the cards, following a strategy that lies between Silver and Gold level cards; and I play our brawls with relative dignity.

Rewards

Here's a summary of my rewards according to splex.gg.
There were 4 CL Packs (last season there were 6). I'm not sure whether to open these packs or start keepping them. I have 102 cards listed for rent, currently renting out 40% of them, which has been giving me modest earnings of 8 DEC/day...
I won an impressive 542 SPS at the end of the season! I was shocked when I saw a chest opening with 322 SPS, and another chest with 115 SPS. This windfall helped cover a relatively low performance in ranked matches, as I earned only 128 SPS this season, compared to 206 in the previous season. During the two times SPS rentals dropped, my bot was running, and I had dismal earnings on those 2 days because of that 😥.

Reward Cards

Let's look at the most relevant evolutions in my collection:

• Skok Duskblight (Legendary Death) reached level 2 and gained Fury. Hoping for 3 more cards to get Ressurrect;
• Pembook Nymph (Rare Water summoner) reached level 5;
• Regular Coastal Sentry reached level 6, surpassing its Gold Foil version which remains at level 5;
• I won a GF Possessed Puppet level 4;
• I won 2 GF Wily Coyotian level 3, which could become level 4, but since my regular version is level 5, I'll keep the 2 copies;
• My regular Imperial Knight has surpassed the Gold Foil version and is now at level 6;
• GF Ferox Defender evolved to level 5 and is now on par with its regular version;

Now I have 18 (out of 34) cards at the required level to play in Gold without penalty:

Legendaries

1. Skok Duskblight (level 2);

Epics

1. GF Noa the Just (level 3);
2. GF Clockwork Aide (level 3);

Rares

1. Riverboat Captain (level 4);
2. GF Ravenhood Ward (level 5);
3. GF War Pegasus (level 4);
4. Pembrook Nymph, (level 5, Water summoner);
5. GF Lobb Lowland (level 4, Earth summoner);

Commons

1. GF Flungus Flinger (level 6);
2. Terraceous Grunt (level 5);
3. Swamp Spitter (level 5);
4. Costal Sentry (level 6) and GF level 5;
5. Possessed Puppet (level 6);
6. Wily Coyotian (level 5);
7. Imperial Knight (level 6) and GF level 5;
8. Drybone Barbarian (level 6);
9. GF Ferox Defender (level 5) and regular level 5;
10. Gobson Bomber (level 6);

My Gladius collection didn't see significant progress, but Alfredo and Relenor Cleaver, both Water cards, went up a level:

I added the line SPS rental payments to account for the costs of renting staked SPS, which has been around 188 DEC/day for 28k SPS. Last season I paid around 233 DEC/day, resulting in a savings of about $3 this season.

I earned 799 SPS this season (a good increase thanks to the seasonal chests), which is equivalent to R$72 at today's values. Last season, it was R$77. However, my card rentals decreased from 15k to 9k DEC, resulting in a savings of about R$24. This reduction was only possible because I started paying more attention to my rentals, renewing them before they expired, avoiding the need to rent more expensive cards again, and refraining from renting cards that, after a while, become unreasonably costly (an example is Corrupted Pegasus level 3, which is now around 23 DEC/day, but at the end of last season was costing over 100, only available at level 4).

In terms of in-game balance, I made a U$5 profit.

Posts

I had some issues with my posts last season, as I went a week without posting. Still, I earned just over 7 HBD:

my rewards from posts during season 116

Final Balance

Putting everything in the spreadsheet, I made a R$61 profit, about U$12. Last season, it was U$17, and the main difference was due to the posts I didn't make. Still, I've been having a good profit in the game and have managed to sustain it through my initial investment combined with my weekly posts.

These were the 799 SPS I earned this season, representing a R$72 value at current prices. Last season it was R$77. However, my card rentals dropped from 15k to 9k DEC, which means a savings of around R$24. This reduction was only possible because I started paying more attention to my rentals, renewing them before they expired, avoiding the need to rent more expensive cards again, and refraining from renting cards that, after a while, become unreasonably costly (an example is Corrupted Pegasus level 3, which is now around 23 DEC/day, but at the end of last season was costing over 100, only available at level 4).

And this was the summary of my season 116, where I even returned to making in-game profit, earning more in SPS than the invested DEC, and supplementing the earnings with the HBD from my posts, which support my rentals for the next season. Since I didn't post for a week, my available resources dropped significantly: I had 12 HBD accumulated, and now I have only 4. But I'll recover it soon with the help of your upvotes 😉.

Temporada 116, firme na batalha

Mais uma temporada de @splinterlands chegou ao fim, a de número 116, que durou de 31 de julho a 14 de agosto, a minha 9ª temporada neste divertidíssimo jogo #play2earn. Vamos analisar meu desempenho.

A meta

A meta continua a mesma: jogar no Ouro, subir pro Diamante no final da temporada pra pegar melhores baús na temporada seguinte. É minha "zona de conforto" onde lido bem com as diversas habilidades disponíveis nas cartas; meu xbot lite funciona 😀 (ele não joga da liga Diamante em diante); costumo lucrar bem, apesar de alugar todas as cartas, numa estratégia intermediária entre cartas nível Prata e Ouro; e jogo nossas brawls com relativa dignidade.

Recompensas

Este é o resumo das minhas recompensas segundo splex.gg.
Foram 4 CL Packs (temporada passada foram 6). Estou meio sem saber se os abro começo a guardar esses pack. Tenho 102 cartas listadas pra aluguel, atualmente alugando 40% delas, o que tem me rendido módicos 8 DEC/dia...
Ganhei impressionantes 542 SPS no final da temporada! Fiquei em choque quando vi um baú abrir 322 SPS, outro abriu 115. Essa "bolada" me ajudou a cobrir um relativo baixo rendimento nas partidas rankeadas, já que obtive apenas 128 SPS nessa temporada, temporada passada foram 206. Nas duas vezes que o aluguel dos SPS caiu, meu bot estava rodando, e tive rendimentos pífios nestes 2 dias por causa disso 😥.

Reward cards

Vejamos as evoluções mais relevantes da minha coleção:

• Skok Duskblight (Death lendária) chegou no nível 2 e ganhou Fury. Torcendo por mais 3 pra ele ganhar Ressurrect;
• Pembook Nymph (summoner Water rara) alcançou nível 5;
• Coastal Sentry regular alcançou nível 6, superando sua versão GF, que permanece no 5;
• Ganhei uma GF Possessed Puppet nível 4;
• Ganhei 2 GF Wily Coyotian nível 3, que podem se tornar um nível 4, mas como meu regular está nível 5, vou manter as 2 cópias;
• Meu Imperial Knight regular superou a versão GF também, e está no nível 6;
• GF Ferox Defender evoluiu pro nível 5 e equiparou-se à sua versão regular;

Agora são 18 (de 34) cartas com o nível necessário pra jogar no Ouro sem penalidade:

Lendárias

1. Skok Duskblight (nível 2);

Épicas

1. GF Noa the Just (nível 3);
2. GF Clockwork Aide (nível 3);

Raras

1. Riverboat Captain (nível 4);
2. GF Ravenhood Ward (nível 5);
3. GF War Pegasus (nível 4);
4. Pembrook Nymph, (nível 5, summoner de Water);
5. GF Lobb Lowland (nível 4, summoner de Earth);

Comuns

1. GF Flungus Flinger (nível 6);
2. Terraceous Grunt (nível 5);
3. Swamp Spitter (nível 5);
4. Costal Sentry (nível 6) e GF nível 5;
5. Possessed Puppet (nível 6);
6. Wily Coyotian (nível 5);
7. Imperial Knight (nível 6) e GF nível 5;
8. Drybone Barbarian (nível 6);
9. GF Ferox Defender (nível 5) e regular nível 5 também;
10. Gobson Bomber (nível 6);

Minha coleção Gladius não prosperou significativamente, mas Alfredo e Relenor Cleaver, ambas de Water, subiram um nível:

(cortesia do incrível script git-repo de @beaker007, que aprendi a utilizá-lo neste post do @viniciotricolor).
Inseri a linha SPS rental payments pra contabilizar os gastos com aluguel de SPS stakado, que tem sido algo próximo de 188 DEC/dia para 28k SPS. Temporada passada eu paguei aproximadamente 233 DEC/dia, o que resultou numa economia de aproximadamente R$3 nessa temporada.

Foram 799 SPS ganhos nesta temporada (um bom incremento graças ao baús de temporada0, equivalendo a R$72 a valores de hoje. Temporada passada forma R$77. Mas em compensação, meus aluguéis de carta caíram de 15k para 9k DEC, o que equivale a uma economia de aproximadamente R$24. Essa redução só foi possível pq passei a dar mais atenção aos meus alugueis, renovando-os antes que caíssem e eu tivesse que re-alugar cartas mais caras, deixando de alugar cartas que após um tempo passam a custar muito acima do razoável (um exemplo é Corrupted Pegasus nível 3, que hoje está por cerca de 23 DEC/dia, mas final da temporada passada estava custando mais de 100, disponível apenas no nível 4).

No balanço ingame, foram R$25 de lucro.

Postagens

Tive uns problemas com minhas postagens temporada passada, pois fiquei uma semana sem postar. Ainda assim faturei pouco mais de 7 HBD:

minhas recompensas com postagens durante a temporada 116

Saldo final

Colocando tudo na planilha, lucrei R$61, cerca de US$12. Temporada passada foram U$17, e a principal diferença foram nas postagens que não fiz.
Ainda assim, tenho tido bom lucro no jogo, e conseguido mantê-lo a partir do meu investimento inicial aliado com as postagens semanais.

E este foi o resumo da minha temporada 116, onde, ainda voltei a lucrar ingame, ganhando mais em SPS do que os DEC investidos, e complementado os rendimentos com os HBD das postagens, que financiam meus alugueis pra temporada seguinte. Como não postei por uma semana, meus recursos disponíveis caíram significativamente: era 12 HBD acumulados, estou com apenas 4. Mas recuperarei em breve com a ajuda dos upvotes de vocês 😉.
