RE: Splinterlands Experiment : Entry Level Land

I decided to dip a toe into land a few months back and bought two plots, just so I'd have some skin in the game as it were. Well, since then I've been bitten by the bug and ended up with 10 plots. The secondary market kept throwing up bargains :-)

I do however need to temper my enthusiasm, as getting the plots up and running is costing a lot more than the initial purchase price.

Initially , I bought two plots because I have two Runi, so I ignored the DEC staking requirement and went for max lvl GF commons to fill the slots as a good compromise between card price and decent PP. Now that I need to stake DEC to the remainder of the plots, that card strategy is not attractive as each plot will need 50,000 DEC or $50 in staked value. OK it's staked, not spent, but still it's a lot and I'd rather not tie up $450 in the remaining 8 plots ( plus another $45 for power cores which I must spend anyway)

So, my card strategy now is GF Epics and add them into the plots gradually, The cards cost more, but they are nice GF Epics and I think they will keep their value well. Each card gives 600 PP ( 660 with bonuses) and only costs 1,000 staked DEC to outfit.

So, slowly on the road to outfitting my land, it will take time and currently my strategy is Grain heavy. I have one plot to SPS giving 0.65 SPS/hr and another giving 700 grain/hr, these are the only two I spent Time crystals on to speed up, the others are under construction and will be mostly Grain
