Phase 2 Splinterland Chaos Legions Sale - Get Your Credits In ~
Hi Everyone,
With just 3 days to go, the second round of Chaos Legion card packs will be on sale. As per the latest announcement for the sale which you can find here, purchases will now be credits unlike the previously where you can buy them with SPS or DEC. This is great in many ways as I normally by more cards with credits but also for those who have referrals. With double the voucher drops coming on the 8th of DEC, like the rest of Splinterlands players, will be saving up for those precious vouchers and get those packs.
Currently vouchers are priced around $10 on Hive Engine with people wanting to secure a few of them before the sale commences. Keeping in mind after the second round of pack sales, moving forward you will still need vouchers to receive any bonus packs in the general sale so it is best to keep some around for a rainy day. The team have also indicated there will be further uses of these tickets therefore after the 2nd round of pack sales, the airdrop of vouchers will still continue but at a lesser amount. Personally I aiming to get all the packs I can during this round of sale in case by the time when the public comes along, I may get in too late and miss the chance the packs go instantly. I have a feeling it may go very quickly with a day at max so I don't want to take any chances.
With Hive prices at all time high, it is the best chance time to covert them to credits. When Hive was at $2.60 - $2.80, I have moved some Hive over to credits in preparation for card purchases which I see as the best decision made yet. Although I don't think I have enough converted as yet, I will wait for another pump to do so hopefully in the next few weeks. Worst case, I can see use DEC or HBD to make up the difference which isn't too big of an issue. If anyone has spare Hive sitting in the wallet, you should consider using them for these credits. I was hoping HDB might get a small pump while Hive was having that massive run but it is really doing its job staying at $1 or there about so will keep it for a rainy day. Here is a list on some of the crypto you can get credits with. They even have LEO which is great for those who has some LEO tokens on Hive-Engine.
Currently with a few Dr Blight promo cards in the bag already (have to receive of course), I am hoping to get a few more promo cards moving forward as the last ones we received from the past editions have been doing really well in battles. At this stage, there are no plans to buy more vouchers as I don't think I can afford anymore. Once general sale comes out, I will try to get a few more packs depending how fast they go but if I do miss out, I will be happy with the packs I have bought from the 1st and 2nd round of the sale. If you are reading this blog and missed out on any packs, don't give us as I find buying what you want/need from the market is more cost efficient and that was how I put my deck together when I had less funds. This is the most packs I've bought for some time so different strategies will work for different players.
If you haven't joined Splinterlands yet, do join use here as things will only get better from now onwards. See you on the battlefield!

I'm hoping to get a few voucher at the lowest price now
yah thing is we don't know when is the cheapest but I would suspect that after the next drop of vouchers the prices of them might go down slightly but never know with these things right
Either way, I will still try to get some more Voucher as it is going to be used for a long term.
And the credit mech is good too. All the more better to promote to other people using affiliate
These vouchers have ruined my Splinterlands onboarding experience. Invent another asset which functions as red tape for those who aren't loaded up with cards, SPS or DEC already. This is early in a blockchain game world and forcing people to earn or buy vouchers just to have the privilege to buy packs rubs me the wrong way. Out of principle, it is very demotivating and makes me want to turn the other way.
I am thinking the opposite. It allows everyone have a chance especially against bots and new whales who can drop loads of money and scoop up all the packs and resell them at a higher price. This way, at least everyone has a chance no matter if you have a small or big collection …. As long as you hold a voucher, you can get your pack + $4. The other thing you can look into is the general sale which doesn’t require a voucher unless you are buying in bulk and have bonus packs which those require vouchers
It doesn't allow everyone the chance though. You have to earn or buy vouchers with significant money to get a meaningful amount of them to use to then buy packs. The fear of pack FOMO may be a way they've rationalized this to the community, but I'd imagine there could easily be a way to accomplish the same thing without a financial commitment from those who want to buy packs without all the strings. Essentially those who want to wait have to wait for 2 rounds before the privilege to buy packs, once the flood gate are open to these highly rumored bots/whales. The reality is that most people around the world can't accumulate significant voucher totals -- only those who have the extra funds to deploy or spend on the tickets to be able to buy the packs. It helps those in the game get more entrenched in the game (fair), but alienates new adopters who will not have the fair chance to level the playing field. The truth is I have the money, but am so irked by this system, I fundamentally shun being forced to spend just to spend again. SPL wants people to hold SPS and DEC. IMO, vouchers accomplish that at the expense of those coming in late. Forget me, consider those around the world where $4 is enough. That's the reality in my eyes. Appreciate your reply.
