Splinterlands Just Had It's Land Presale Lottery - Here's My Haul
So today finally was the day of Splinterlands land presale raffle. I was pretty excited for the event as I had a total of 7,804 lottery tickets sitting in my account from both the region of land I bought and from the rewards for providing liquidity to the DEC-ETH pair over on Uniswap. One in fifteen tickets was expected to be a winner, so I was bound to win at least some stuff during the raffle.
I was pretty nervous when I finally claimed my prices. While I didn't win one of the main prices (a tract or even a region of land) I'm still pretty pleased with what I got from my tickets:
A grand total of 543 items! That's about 14,3 raffle tickets per hit, so slightly better than what was to be expected. We don't know yet what value to expect from totems, although especially legendary totems are rumored to be extremely valuable, their price being seen at around the value of a gold foil legendary card.
Even if we don't factor in the totems at all, that still leaves me with 9 Land Plot Claims, 92 Untamed Booster Packs, and 110 Azamare Dice Packs. Let's look at the total value of that:
Item | Amount | Value per Item | Total Worth |
---|---|---|---|
Land Plot Claim | 9 | 20$ | 180$ |
Untamed Booster Pack | 92 | 2$ | 184$ |
Azamare Dice Packs | 110 | 3$ | 330$ |
Total | - | - | 694$ |
Keep in mind that these values are what the items are sold for if you directly from Splinterlands. Getting these from the market would cost quite a bit less. Nevertheless, that's a lot of value gained from something that was a free bonus on top of a purchase that I would have made either way. Throwing in the totems, I'd assume the total value of everything I've found here to be rather close to 1,000$!
Personally, I feel like the whole raffle was severely undermarketed. The value gained from these raffle tickets is obviously huge and I think it would have been a great way to sell some more plots of land if sufficient focus was put on marketing it. Nevertheless, I'm obviously extremely grateful and happy with the results!
Opening all these booster packs will not only take a lot of time, it also finally allows me to use all these potions I got from my quests and season rewards. To tell the truth, even with my considerable amount already collected, I don't have nearly enough for all the packs I've got today.
As I've learned a long time ago, you don't open packs without using potions. So from now on, I'll open a pack whenever I managed to collect 5 Alchemy and 5 Legendary Potions again. This way I'll even be happy about finding potions for quite a while.
A heartfelt Thank you! to the Splinterlands team for having this fantastic raffle. Keep it up guys!
And that's all from me today, thank you all for reading and see you next time!

These are quite nice prices that you got there :-). I didn't manage to buy any land from sales so I bought some plots from hive-engine. Unfortunately they don't qualify LOL

In return you probably saved some money buying from the market, so it all should even out in the end ;-)

Nice haul! I haven't opened mine yet. My luck has been really bad on 2 other things already today so I'm not going to risk a third. 😂

I barely even knew about it until literally this morning LOL
Had a massive 3 raffle tickets and of course, won nothing lol
But hey, I got my GFL Yodin yesterday....So I'm happy :)

Oh wow, that's really huge, congratulations!
That card should be worth something north of 400$!

Yeah I saw it around 500 bucks for the longest time...Someone was selling one for 300...Figured it was time to pull the trigger.
That's been a goal of mine for a long time, getting the GFL Yodin.
300$ is a steal!
Unless they nerf it (which I'm quite certain won't happen), you should always be able to sell it for more if you choose to do so.
Other than getting the difference of $200 in price, having the GFL Yodin is a prize in itself.
Hey, you got some pretty neat prizes right there!

Don't worry Daily quest keep giving the potions.
I got one 1 untamed,1 dice and 1 rare totem for 87 tickets.

Ah little under the expected value but the rare totem should still have some nice worth :-)
