Community Engagement Challenge: How much will the Land Card price? / コミュニティ エンゲージメント チャレンジ: ランドカードの値段はなんぼ?
[ENGLISH]
This Community Challenge is the Land Card Edition, but I feel like it has a pretty high barrier to entry. Casual players might not be too interested.
After all, to use Land, you need to...
- Buy land. If there's no building, you have to construct one. Expensive.
- Buy an energy core. More money?
- Five worker cards? And considering PP, I need GF? Can't afford it!
- Harvest. Taxes are high! ...All that money and effort for this? 😭
All I see is a future like this, right?
For casual players, land cards are completely irrelevant. Buying everything from scratch is just too much of a hassle.
That said, since common lands have dropped in price, you might find some cheap bargains if you look hard enough. Maybe this is your chance...
Nah, definitely not. What exactly can a player with limited funds accomplish by buying land from scratch? I absolutely cannot recommend it.
For that reason, players who purchase or create Land Cards are likely those who already possess a certain amount of assets from before Chaos Legion.
I do own Land myself, but I don't think I've gotten my money's worth. It's incredibly difficult to assemble a good team of workers. Buying them outright costs a fortune, so it's more about using what you have to earn a little something rather than letting past assets go to waste.
(It's kinda weird to spend hundreds of thousands of DEC just to earn a little DEC...)
Land itself has dropped in price quite a bit, but buying land alone is meaningless—you need to build structures, gather workers, harvest crops...
Work and work, yet still
The investment amount remains unrecovered
I just stare at my hands
😭
However, whether it will be a ray of light or just more sand in the desert for such a land remains to be seen, but it seems worker cards will be added.
Splinterlands: Inaugural Land Card Edition — Full Announcement & Technical Specification
According to this article, one card will be added per rarity. These cards are crafted using land resources and Cinder. For example, a Common card looks like this.

It can't be used in battle, so it has no stats. Just abilities.
The first ability increases Grain production. At max level, it's +60%, which is pretty significant.
The second is Energized. Similar to Runi, maybe? An ability that can replace the Power Core.
The third one says “Reduces the amount of grain consumed during plot harvesting.” So that means less food gets distributed to the workers, right? Poor things.
The fourth one seems to reduce the amount of DEC staked. It probably doesn't matter if you already have Runi. If you don't have it, it might be pretty handy? But if the land is already operational, it probably doesn't make much difference?
The first and third ones are worth noting.
First, Bountiful Grain increases the amount of grain you can harvest by up to 60%. Third, Rationing reduces the amount of grain consumed during harvesting by up to 30%.
Since my land is a Grain Farm, these are abilities I definitely want. Currently, in about 24 hours, it produces roughly 23,000 and consumes about 5,000.
1 Grain = 0.015 DEC, so that's 270 DEC. Oh, and since there's a 10% tax when selling on the Market, you'd end up with 253 DEC.
Now, if you can increase yield by 60% and reduce consumption by 30%, you'd produce 36,800 and consume 3,500. In this case, you'd end up with 449.55 DEC.
That's quite a jump. About 1.77 times more.

Next is the manufacturing cost for Land Cards.
The cost to create one card is 20,000 Grain, 375 Cinder, and 891.53 DEC ($0.5). At MAX, it becomes 8,000,000 Grain, 150,000 Cinder, and 356,613.33 DEC ($200), which is quite expensive.
(DEC calculated at $0.0005608)
Hmm, no way. I don't feel like going through the trouble of making one.
First, buying Grain costs 153,144.297 DEC. Then, assuming I buy cards for making Cinder, 30,000 common cards cost about 360,000 DEC. Plus, DEC itself costs 356,613.33 DEC. That comes to a total of 869,757.627 DEC.
No way...
With all this cost, it only has 2,000 PP. Even with all the various bonuses, other Chaos Legion GF Legendaries have 2,500 PP per card, and they only cost around 40,000~50,000 DEC.
Land cards are just too expensive. Even considering all the bonus abilities, they're far too costly to justify buying.
To reiterate, Land Cards are ultimately meant to help people who previously held large quantities of cards use up their surplus cards, even if only a little.
By the way. I have the right to prioritize creating three Common cards. But I'm not sure if I'll actually make them. I have some leftover Chaos Legion reward cards, so I considered burning them to create land cards, but the costs beyond the cards themselves are too high.
60,000 Grain, 150 common cards, about 2,700 DEC... Even if I paid about 6,000 DEC to make just three common cards, I'd only get three cards that increase harvest yield by 1%.
If it sells for around 20,000 DEC, it might be worth crafting. But if it's 14,000 DEC per card, that's a nice little bonus for getting rid of unused cards.
Still, once the priority crafting period ends, I can't help but feel bot farmers will mass-produce them and dump them cheap.
If there weren't any additional DEC costs, it might have been worth considering. But when you factor in burning cards, using tons of grain, and then paying DEC on top of that, I seriously question whether it's worth the effort.

今回の Community Challenge は Land Card Edition という事ですが。結構敷居が高いと感じます。ライトユーザーの人はあんまり興味ないかもしれないですね。
だって Land ってさ。
- ランドを買う。建物が無かったら建築しないといけない。高い。
- エネルギーコアを買う。まだお金かかるの?
- 働き手のカードを5枚も?しかもPP考えたらGFが必要?買えん!
- 収穫。税金高いって!...あんなにお金と手間かけてこんだけ?😭
ってなる未来しか見えんやん?
ライト層のプレイヤーにはランド関連は全く関係ないですね。1から買い揃えるのはさすがに大変。
とはいえ、ランドもコモンなら値段が下がってるので探せば安い掘り出し物もあるかもしれないですし、この機会に...
いや、やっぱりないわ。資産の少ないプレイヤーが1からランド購入して何が出来るというのか。全くお勧めできないです。
そういうわけで、ランドカードを購入するor作成するのは カオスレギオン以前の資産をある程度持っているプレイヤーでしょうね。
私も一応、ランド持ってますがもとを取れているとは思えません。優秀なワーカーを揃えるのが大変なんですよ。買って揃えるとめちゃくちゃかかるので過去の資産を死蔵するよりは少しでも使って稼げるようにするためのものですね。
(少しのDECを稼ぐ為に何十万DECも使うってのも変な話だよね...)
ランド自体は割と値段が下がってますが、ランドを購入しただけでは意味がないので建物を建てて、ワーカーを揃えて、収穫して...
『働けど働けど猶 投資金額は回収できず ぢつと手を見る』
😭
しかし、そんなランドに一握の光となるのか砂となるのかわかりませんが、ワーカーカードが追加されるようです。
Splinterlands: Inaugural Land Card Edition — Full Announcement & Technical Specification
この記事によれば、追加されるのは各レアリティで1枚。土地資源と Cinder を使って作成されるカードで、例えばコモンはこんな感じ。

バトルでは使えないのでステータスはないですね。アビリティだけ。
1つ目のアビリティはGrainの生産数増加。レベルMAXになれば+60%と結構大きいです。
2つ目は Energized。 Runi と同じようなものかな?パワーコアの代わりになれるアビリティ。
3つ目の説明が「区画収穫時に消費される穀物の量を減らします。 」なんだけど、ワーカーに配られる食糧が減るってことだよね?可哀そう。
4つ目はDECのステーキング量を減らせる昨日らしいのですが、 Runi 持ってた関係なさそうね。持ってないなら結構便利?でも既に稼働してるランドだったらあんまり関係ないかな?
注目すべきは1つ目と3つ目ですね。
1つ目、Bountiful Grain は収穫できる穀物の量が最大60%増えるし、3つ目の Rationing は収穫時に消費される穀物量が最大30%減ります。
私のランドは Grain Farm なのでぜひ欲しい能力です。今だと約24時間で、約23,000 生産して、約5,000 消費されます。
1 Grain = 0.015 DEC で計算すると、270 DEC ですね。あ、Marketで売るときに10%の税金がかかるから、253 DECが手元に残ると。
これがですね、収穫量が60%増量、消費量が30%削減できる場合は、 36,800 生産して 3,500 消費になるわけです。 この場合、手元に残るのは 449.55 DEC となるわけですね。
結構増えるね。約1.77倍か。

次にランドカードの製造コストになるけど。
1枚作成するコストが、20,000 Grain、375 Cinder、891.53 DEC($0.5) となるわけで。MAXだと、8,000,000 Grain、150,000 Cinder、 356,613.33 DEC($200) と高額に。
(DEC は $0.0005608 で計算)
んーないな。わざわざ作成する気がしません。
まず Grain を買うのに 153,144.297 DEC、Cinder 作成用カードを買うとして コモンカードを3万枚で 約360,000 DEC、さらに DEC が 356,613.33 DEC で合計 869,757.627 DEC もかかる。
無いわ...
これだけコストをかけて、PPは 2,000 しかないし。各種ボーナスがあると言っても他の カオスレギオンの GF Legendary なら 1枚で 2,500 PPあるし、買っても 40,000~50,000 DEC程度。
ランドカードはコストが悪すぎます。各種ボーナスアビリティで見ても高額すぎて手が出ませんね。
繰り返しになりますが、あくまでランドカードは過去に大量にカードを保有してる人が余ってるカードを少しでも使うための物ってことですね。
ちなみに。私はコモンを3枚優先で作成する権利がありますが。作るかどうかわからないですね。余ってる カオスレギオン のリワードカードがあるので Burn ランドカードを作成しようかとも思ったんですが、カード以外にかかるコストが多すぎます。
60,000 Grain、コモンカード150枚、約2,700 DEC で 約6,000 DEC を払ってコモンカード3枚だけ作ったとしても、1%収穫量が増えるカードが3枚できるだけです。
20,000 DEC くらいで売れるなら作ってもいいかもしれないけど。一枚で14,000 DECなら使わないカードを処分して手に入るお小遣いとしては嬉しいね。
でも、優先作成期間が過ぎちゃったら、botファーマーが大量に作成して安く売られるような気がしなくもないです。
追加のDECが無ければ一考の価値はあったかもしれないけど、カード燃やして穀物をいっぱい使って、さらにDECまで払って作る価値あるかと言われると私には疑問なのです。

Hi sakurakko! I came to the same conclusion. Sometimes it seems like Splinterlands is still stuck in 2021, thinking it's still in alt season. It's best to wait until those cards are forged and released on the market. It's very likely that, like most SPL assets, they'll depreciate over time. Cheers.
!BBH
Well, I suppose it's inevitable that the value of past assets declines.
Still, I hope we can find a way to utilize them effectively without any waste.
I'm hopeful that if the Land Card price can strike a good balance between supply and demand, trading activity will pick up.
Thanks for sharing! - @mango-juice
