Splinterlands: Talking Rentals, Rewards & Workable Formulas

png_20220829_053415_0000.png



The splinterlands' end of the season happens in two days and so far, I've been able to come up with 9 loots only, I'm trying hard to see if two days would be enough to get two more loots, the more the loots the merrier the chances. But I'm happy to have rented out three of my cards at the beginning of the season.

I mostly don't play the BAAKJIRA and I already have a normal version of the other two gold cards. So it's been 8.4 DEC a day for rentals and so far I've had these cards rented for about 11 days now I'm not sure. The funny thing is I didn't majorly rent them out for the returns, because if it was so, I'd rent out some other cards too but the truth is, you'd never know the card that might come in handy.

Go hard Or go home?

At the beginning of the season, I was conflicted about what to do, I didn't know if I should keep playing or stop but at the beginning of the season I started out playing again and I decided to rent only these cards out and continue grinding again.

It's been great thus far, I've adjusted to earning 10 loots a season, while this wasn't exactly how I felt two seasons ago, I have come to understand that sustaining the ecosystem, and the economy of splinterlands would come at the expense of ruffling feathers, creating the need for players to keep pumping in the money, even as these changes happens and creates a different standard every time it happens.


The Standards Ups The Ante

You'd notice that whenever these changes happen, some players just complain a little, regroup, then pump in money to stay abreast of the competition. Why? Because Splinterlands is damn lucrative, and this lucrativeness is crazily addictive.

It becomes even better when you throw in some $$$, the expectancy, and excitement are what keep you going.

Playing the game has been like the survival of the richest fittest, this is mostly because a lot of people understand the economy around it. You invest in big, you win big. I like how the grind works, sometimes there's the frustration that comes with limitations, the difference between having a deck worth $200 and $2000.

A shot at $1000 what will you buy?

In every gameplay, you can literally feel the expensiveness of your opponents' lineup, and knowing you could set up like them and even be better is great, then you remember you don't have the right amount of money to do so.

Sometimes I come up against some expensive summoners and their insane abilities, immediately after the battle begins, I knew I'd be slaughtered, and just as I predicted, I'd watch my cards being decimated and taken apart, it can be exciting, painful, or even disappointing.

For example, I play in silver III but sometimes coming up against the guys in silver II and I can be scary, at one time, I managed to beat two legendary summoners and this had me thinking, I could throw in an extra $1000 and begin to take these guys to the cleaners.

No Money, No Experience

You might begin to wonder, what about being rewarded for being a prolific player? The truth is that you can never be a prolific player without having the resources to even become prolific in the first place. The experience comes from having the right exposure and access and you can only do so by having money.

The thing is, you can learn by being beaten, but if you do not have the resources, your learning experience might just be for nothing.

I've had people asking me if they could play splinterlands and I'm like sure, yes, but they're just taken aback when they realize, it's a real money's game, but then I tell them they can play for the fun, and earn nothing, but wait, knowing that there's the possibility for rewards takes away eagerness to play for fun and this is the sad reality.


Play For Fun Money

It's going to be another end of the season in a little more than two days, and I'm excited to be gathering the little I can, the rewards aren't so great as they used to be, but then, the only things people with smaller resources can do is to find a working formula and keep accumulating irrespective of how small it can be.

Not everyone can be enthused by small returns because the time put in might seem unevenly matched, but I do not want to measure the unfairness of this proportion.

I like to think grinding is a skill, and I'll be waiting again to see the end of the season and opening the loots that come with it..

Playing for fun is not only excellent advice to improve, but it is necessary that there are players who want to play just for fun, or the game is no longer attractive to investors.
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, playing for fun can be good, I just think that the possibility of making money might just discouraged people from attempting to compete at all.

Lol take then to the cleaners bro!

It is amazing how we keep grinding along despite the challenges, do doubt the game have been difficult but the thought of giving up hasn't been an option for some of us yet.

Best of luck as we draw close to end of season.

Best of luck too sir, I'm starting to think about the effect of money and the things I could accomplish had it been I had more when it comes to resources, I just wished. However I seem to be having more fun with playing.

A lot of good points man, money is a big factor unfortunately. I know the feeling of seeing a lineup and getting decimated lol. Should we stay or go, the big question. I can hardly stay in gold, im in gold II for now. Keep rockin man.

Hahaha, we cannot go, I guess we'd stay up and keep grinding. Yeah, I guess more players bringing in the funds makes it overly competitive at best.

Do you rent all cards are a few selected ones? I heard that players receive more chests in Modern format, no idea if the new battle mode is easier than the Wild.

I have never tried the modern format, I just don't like the idea that some of my cards would be missing from play. However I think it's about time I give it a go.

Yes, there are some limitations, but Chaos, Untamed, and Reward cards work well. Thanks

😂😂😂

My inlaw is doing great on this game oo, the truth is that splinterland gaming still looks like a strange land for me over there. After creating an account, an attempt to play was odd🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂, at a point, I wondered if the game is meant for guys alone😄, cos I couldn't place it...lol

I will still come back to it anyways but till then, let me be learning the tactics 🤗

The reason why it felt odd to you was because it requires tactics. It might surprise you to know that the richest and some of the most successful gamers on splinterlands are women. That's right. Some of them became multi millionaires when the game bloomed back in 2021

I think the term fun money makes sense. The rewards you get from Splinterlands aren't going to be crazy but it still adds up over time. It's also hard to balance an economy right but I do think Splinterlands is trying their best to do so.

Yeah, I think the term fun money is just appropriate and you're right, all these accumalations would definitely pay off, I'm starting to think that I like the uncertainty, building now is the best.

I only have a small amount of cards like you, but I've been using the splex.gg bot to rent my cards.

Might be worth a look.

Do you mean to rent cards your cards or rent cards to play?

I don't play my cards.

I use the bot to automate renting them out to others.
