How Am I Doing with my Hive Goals? (Week 16, 2022)
This week started the claim drop for Ragnarok, which is an important milestone for everyone expecting the game but also for every Hive holders, either in liquid or powered up form at the beginning of the year, since they are the recipients of the claim drop.
So, that might influence people with HIVE and HBD goals, since DUATs, the tokens that are claimed in the first phase are tradable for HIVE or HBD.
Personally I'm not interested to sell any tokens, maybe I'll add a little bit more, but my DUAT tokens won't be on the market. But I am interested to at least try out the game and see if I'll like it and if I'll be competitive and profitable by using it (play, rent, etc.). Other people may not have such plans.
Let's take a look at the my goals.
First the HIVE and HBD targets for 2022.
25000 HIVE and 5000 HBD by the year end seem harder and harder to achieve, which makes sense because I slowed down to almost nothing buying HIVE and HBD from other Hive-related income at the moment.
But, there is still hope for a turn of events in the second part of the year, because I have a plan. But we'll have to get there and see how it works out.
Splintershards (SPS)
With a little over 13 weeks left from the airdrop, I should be on target with this goal, even if I don't stake 2000 SPS per week like this week. At 2k SPS per week staked, I'd be at 105k SPS staked at the end of the airdrop. But I don't need 2k per week, and I probably won't stake as much every week, because I have the following goal as well.
Maxing Chaos Legion Set (or reaching the limit beyond which I consider upgrading a card not profitable)
| Rare Summoners | Maxed |
|---|---|
| 6 | 2 |
My focus right now is maxing summoners. I maxed two of them (one more since the last report) - Kelya and Obsidian - which I considered a priority for me, because they give me maxed alternatives for Water and Earth (these are the splinters where I only had one maxed summoner).
I went through all CL cards once and made a first opinion about which cards I might not upgrade to max. But will need to check that again from time to time, and some of those options will remain with a question mark until everything else is maxed, and then, I'll decide on them, one by one.
| Legendary Summoners | Maxed |
|---|---|
| - | - |
| Common Monsters | Maxed | Reached Max Desired Level |
|---|---|---|
| 29 | 0 | ? |
| Rare Monsters | Maxed | Reached Max Desired Level |
|---|---|---|
| 23 | 0 | ? |
| Epic Monsters | Maxed | Reached Max Desired Level |
|---|---|---|
| 17 | 1 | ? |
| Legendary Monsters | Maxed | Reached Max Desired Level |
|---|---|---|
| 23 | 7 | 1+? |
I'll also add for this report the situation with the CL reward cards:
| CL Reward Cards | Maxed | Reached Max Desired Level |
|---|---|---|
| 21 | 19 | 0 |
Social Targets
I started the week with 7309 comments and 7540 replies.
And now I am at 7415 comments and 7660 replies. They are both above my targets of 81 comments and 76 replies weekly to reach 10k of each by the year's end, which is good!
Special Mentions
Another 1000 LISTNERDS staked in my Listnerds account made me pass the 3000 LISTNERDS staked in total this week and reach the 7th spot on the "richlist" at the time of writing. I believe this deserves a special mention.

Pretty awesome growth in my opinion, and I wouldn’t say the 25k goal is impossible. Just keep on posting and curating! I have the same goal, but I am at 18k HP right now… We’ll see, but it is definitely possible!
We'll see. I have a plan, but that'll probably start from the second part of the year (end of June, start of July). This should improve my HP growth rate, because at the rate I have right now I would almost surely miss the target.
Thanks for the encouragement, though!
Those 3k you have above me right now could make the difference between reaching or missing the goal. But you are right, we need to keep posting and curating. And helping from other sources too, if we need to.
Once it is stable, growth follows. I hope you reach your goals.

Yes, one can build on a solid stable base.
Wow you are doing great!
And remember that you thought these comments were hard to achieve? It seems like you're absolutely nailing it!
I'm sorry for not always responding or commenting, I do read and upvote your content, but some days I just can't keep up with online as real life is very chaotic :)
SOON I will be a better engaging person again :)
I find myself in the same situation some days, so I understand perfectly. Yesterday I didn't even have time to write my own post.
Which is fine, I try not to be too hard on myself for missing days of content. But I never skip an email haha. :)
Have a good week ahead!
I skipped that too. And, for example, today, I have from yesterday 15 unread posts or recordings I didn't listen to (one or two very long), from the ones I really want to check out.
well, life happens :) lol good luck on catching up :)
Thanks! And yes, indeed, life happens.
Nice work on the ListNerds richlist place. ListNerds brought me here actually! lol
Your Hive and HBD goals are ambitious, but are still do-able. Good luck!
It's all relative. Some people may be unstaking, others may be staking more, some may be more active than others.
Thanks! I knew they were very ambitions since I had set them. I expected more favorable market conditions throughout the year to help me with the goals, but that doesn't seem to happen for now. So, I'll play with what I have.
Although the market isn't going up, Hive is remaining strong in comparison to it's peers. This is a good sign imo.
Yes it is. But I wanted SPS/vouchers at a better price during the recent months so I can sell some for HIVE.
That is the most important! To have a plan for reaching your goals... I was changing mine recently, but that's fine, as we have to adapt our plans to reach the final destination...
Good luck with your goals!

Yes, we can't become rigid following an original plan, because conditions change and we need to adapt and we need to take advantage or them or at least not to follow the same rules when it becomes unprofitable.
Thank you, and you with yours!
Your goals are looking good. I'll bet you get to your 25k Hive even though you are a little behind at the moment, Things will pick up.
It'll be a tough one, probably the toughest of my goals. But we will see.
I still think you're doing quite well on your goals and it looks like you have a plan for the 2nd half of the year. I think CL cards are fairly cheap but I am turning my head more towards the reward cards because they are nearly dirt cheap right now. At least for the rentals, CP matters more so it works out better for me.

Rewards cards always become dirt cheap after being in print for a while. And when they are out of print, the most useful ones will sky-rocket in price.
Big congrats on all of this awesomeness! And I especially loved that you included comments made, engagement is so important and you are doing awesome at it!

I was a bit pushed into doing the social targets by jfang and thisismylife, and a few others. They didn't say to make it a goal, but they said I'd be able to reach 10k comments by the year end, which I didn't think it was possible. Looks like they were so right, and I was over-cautious.

Great work. You write really good posts, I enjoy reading them. It is nice to see List Nerds working so well for everyone.

Thanks @alente! Yes, Listnerds is a gem. I wish more people would start using it. !CTP
@gadrian - it seems to me that you are capable of crushing your goals and definitely adaptive to the ebbs and flow. I mean, I'm just trying to inch my way across the board, so you are one of my motivating factors to keep my head down and push through.
Thank you for that, Jimmy! Sometimes it feels for all of us that we are inching our way across the board, and we need encouragement and motivation to keep going.
Those seem like some really reasonable goals to me. Something you have to work for a bit, but easily attainable. Nice job on the progress you have made so far. That is an impressive bit of SPS you have staked. I share your goal there.
I am grateful for my long-term involvement with Splinterlands that led to enough assets for a decent airdrop.
Sounds like you made some smart moves. I was in from the kickstarter, but like a fool I sold pretty much all of my alpha cards after I started acquiring more Beta and Untamed. Dumb move.
Looking good @gadrian, I would not be too concerned, after all, it is early Q2. You are very resourceful and I am sure that you will make your goals.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, John!
I think you did really well. Sometimes goals are better to be checked in the long run.
And you're flying it with Listnerds!!!
Thanks for sharing this. It's a good motivation for me to get my act together hehe.
Yep, Listnerds works out incredibly well, which I can only be happy about.
I also draw motivation from other people's goal sharing, so I understand you with this.
