Splinterlands Strategies: Personal Mini-BOT Armies in Wild

Splinterlands Season 846 has finished and I got a GF Djinn Arsehole, with 6 attack, and 9 defense, that has 3 abilities.

The best one is farting on its enemies causing 1 damage, but only if 'Djinn Arsehole' didn't eat a curry the night before, and if so he causes a Backfire effect and does 1 diarrhea damage to me which corrodes armour as well as giving me a stink +1 modifier…


...'I did try and generate a 'Djinn Arsehole' image using Bing AI, but it told me I was not being appropriate and sensible.., spoilsports..'...

Some Important History that you MUST read:

Splinterlands Season 845 has finished and I got a….
Splinterlands Season 844 has finished and I got a….

Oh fuck, it's one of those boasting posts you find in the Splinterlands Community that tells you absolutely nothing and can actually cause 'card rage', if that is a thing?


image.png
...'Eeeek, it's Totem Fragment Rage, I had better delete this and sharpish'...

I know Totem Fragment rage is, just ask @revisesociology.

I do like to poke a little fun at the 'boaster crew' who mistake HIVE for Facebook, and a quick rummage through the community revealed less of this crap than I thought it might. The end of season is soon, so I expect there will be a lot more then.

Let us rewind and try again…

redline.png

Having a large stack of SPS can be a blessing, especially when it’s doubled in value over the last month. Like every other crypto asset I own (besides BTC), I make them work for me, and renting SPS has been very profitable until recently.

A yield of 9-11% I can handle, and the DEC, while not exactly pouring in was slightly offsetting the dire decreasing rental market we have been enduring over the last year.


All Rented.JPG
...'in your dreams, gone are the good old days when even L1 reward cards gave us DEC and 333% APR'...

If you are trying to rent out your Chaos Legion cards, and they are NOT maxed then you may as well forget it. Even maximum level cards in some instances do not yield even a 5 miserly DEC a day.

It's a pitiful state we are in, but still, there are ways to make those cards do something other than sit in your collection accumulating dust.

CurrentSPSRentalRates.PNG

Before we go there, let me show you the current rate of renting SPS to players. 2.91%, and someone named ‘Penis’ is offering the best rates. I should say you should suck my dick, but it’s really the other way around if you are going to yield to these pitiful offers.

Let's think about what is going on here. The sharp decline in SPS rental APR occurred about a month ago, and we have seen it drop to sometimes to 1%. Today at almost 3% is a good day.

What happened a month ago? Land was released. All these players struggling in the Bronze and Silver leagues who may have a handful of PLOT went, ‘fuck it’, and staked their cards on land?


Pretoria.PNG
...'is this where all the players have gone? Farming Grain with their monsters which you can't currently sell easily?'...

It seems doubtful, but I guess there is a percentage of players who could have up to 6 lands or so, but that would only remove 30 cards from their inventory.

I don't play in the Modern league, in fact, I don't play at all besides Brawls but I have heard Modern is very tough to break and gain leagues. Wild on the other hand is for robots. With all these sets, can you expect a human to choose a deck of five in two minutes?

It makes perfect sense for Wild to be for machines, ie, BOTS. So what have I done to alleviate my SPS rentals?

image.png

I now have SIX accounts all armed with XBOT tokens and that means I need to delegate SPS to them for the bonus modifiers. That's where my SPS has been going. There is an outlay in the form of 75 SWAP.HIVE per XBOT Lite, but gone are the days of scrambling for XBOT tokens.

You can buy them directly now if you don’t want to arse around bidding on HIVE.ENGINE or Tribeldex (which are the same thing, but different dapps).

Given the increased value in SPS, I am seeing some nice income generated in my 6 XBOT accounts. I have 1 Diamond, 4 Gold, and 2 Silver accounts all running and giving me passive income.

Leagues.PNG

it's quite laughable that an account with L4 summoners is holding well in the Gold League. Having an account with low-level cards doesn't mean you are restricted to the Bronze league.

But...., you need a LOT of cards. I was stupid enough to buy 4600 packs of Chaos Legion packs and still have over 800 left sealed. My problem is not having enough potions to crack them.

While this information is not useful to everyone, it's another case of acclimatizing to the new Splinterlands. In six months, and especially if SPS keeps rising people are going to figure out that even in the saturated Wild league it could well be worth starting BOT armies again.


BingsCardsAccount.PNG
...'@bings-cards has no right being in Gold 1 and bordering on the Diamond league with L4 Summoners, and yet the account is there. Thanks XBOT.'...

Wait a minute, saturated Wild League? It's not as popular as you might think anymore.

I have my own mini army, all paid for, no renting, all owned, so that’s all good and fine according to the Splinterlands hierarchy.

Like anything Splinterlands, there is a cost involved if you want to reap the rewards. They don’t give out things for free.

New players? Forget it.., maybe this 'new experience' Splinterlands have promised us will change things. If it does, and mini-BOT armies are no longer a thing, then I will change my stance again.

Always adapting.

Interesting. I don't think I have enough cards to support something like that and I don't really want to open any of the packs that I am still sitting on.

It depends on how many you have. I’m still north of 800 and they are doing nothing just sitting there. I plan on stopping the splitting at around 400.

With all the potions I gain from these accounts I can split around 5 every couple of days. May as well make some use of them.

I've only got about 250 Chaos Packs and 200 of the Rift ones.

Rift are different, there was nowhere near the amount of CL made. I still have 400+ and am reluctant to split any of them.

So...what happens when the new players stop coming (as if they already haven't)? Seems to me that this game has become a spectacle of whales still nursing off the Splintertitty. What happens when that runs dry?

I don’t disagree and I see barely any new players arriving but it’s not for me to dictate Splinterlands policy.

We have to make use of what we have and if it all goes to shit there’s little we can do about it.

It’s crypto and high risk, that’s the game we play.

After I made a full set there was still over 1k left. What to do with them? At less than $1 each in value..., I may as well start using them for something. I don't like HODL'ing for the sake of it.

I am very happy with the jump in SPS value. It is true that modern is pretty brutal right now and I have a gold capable deck, it is just really tough. That is great to borrow SPS so cheaply, I am wondering why they dont put in the diesel pool.

Are you one of the borrowers?

Many of them appear to be BOT owners.. such a @dingxxx, one of the dings is even in a guild I co-manage. I don't care if it's one of many of the 'ding' family as this ding does OK in Brawls!

It seems it stopped being a game some time ago. I've not played for ages anyway. It just wasn't worth my time and all the new stuff is too complex for my simple brain. If they can't attract new players then they may be doomed.

Oh it's still a game, at least in Modern and not a bad one... but not one for me. The rest of it is an extremely complex menagerie of layered ideas and takes some time to settle into the average brain.

I am not adverse, in fact I'm quite the fan, but can see it's not for everyone.

The game keeps on changing, and leasing out SPS really isn't all that profitable now... I'm really not sure how the land will play out long term yet, hope for the best and be ready to adapt. You have a great strategy there with the mini-BOT armies, hopefully they will continue to be successful. Rebellion cards will become more interesting as more are leveled up into higher leagues. I still haven't decided which cards to buy...

Rebellion.., I feel these are going to be like Riftwatchers, kind of expensive which is good on one hand, but bad for us who want some. Once this burning scheme kicks in they will slowly fade away.

Saying that, I do like the set from what I have seen in Brawls. I only bought 155 packs so my deck is barely Bronze level. They are fun to play, and we want fun don't we?

Fun is what counts! I think they will stay up in price too, bad for us buyers, but good for the cards we already own.

Yeah, i got some 450 CL packs left too. and 2 account only, both with bots. Is quite convenient. On the other way, I still need to populate like 80% of my lands with cards, and then build.

I have used almost all of my Beta's for land and now have a LOT of Max old reward cards waiting to be used. At $50 a pop, it's not cheap to get even one land clearing. This is why I am not using those CL cards in the packs. Land is expensive, and I have just over half of mine working or in production.

I guess that is the beauty of Splinterlands. It isn't just a simple game, and there are a lot of things to do. One can be a simple player, grinding it out in Modern. One can focus on land and reap the passive rewards. One can be a rental tycoon [not as profitable lately]. One can buy and sell cards. And one can have bots and also earn passive rewards. There are other things like tokenomics, scholarships, and tournaments, and there is a lot to do for everyone. I am excited for the planned New Player Experience, and hopefully we can get new blood in.

I found this quite useful. I try with splinterlands, but I'm not really getting that far with it, then the rules change again, and put me back even further. But posts like this really help - thanks ! And as per your comment, I have no idea how a new player could even possibly begin to get into it and earn.

That.. makes me feel good, for Modern you are going to need Rebellion now. If you don't have any, then you will be at a disadvantage.., but there are other ways...

The biggest problem I have is not knowing what cards I should buy next (my deck is pretty crap). I dont have any rebellion, so will have to take a look there. But to be honest, with the state of my cards I dont think I can justify the outlay as I dont think I would get the return back.
