Here's A Peep At My First Ever Splinterlands Season Prizes!

hirohurl in The CTP Swarm • 2 years ago (edited)

It's quite funny how I have got sucked into the Splinterlands thing!

At the beginning of the year I was still avoiding it - the story I was telling myself was that I didn't want to spend my precious time learning a new game or try to fathom out how you're supposed to deploy all those crazy monsters...

Then I learned about the (at the time) 30+% interest rate on staked SPS... so instead of selling of my bits of SPS I started staking them - and to do that I had to start logging in to Splinterlands... and so I started to dabble with a game or two, deliberately NOT researching, just clicking random cards and watching the games that I inevitably lost!

But I just couldn't help myself! Without meaning to, I learnt a lot watching those early games... and gradually started to "get it"...

And now I'm hooked!

And so I'm stoked that I made it to Bronze II last season and just received my rewards - 7 chests...

Here are my lovelies:

And of course, I opened them all! The first one was the best, I think... Epic Dragon, Djinn Chawala - a new card for me. :)

I'll probably rent out the two cards so they earn their keep.

As for the new season, getting to Bronze I is going to be a challenge at my current level of play. I have less than 1,500 Power and right now I'm back in Bronze III, which is sad - no DEC prizes at that lowly level, where I'm #alive but hardly #aliveandthriving !

Well, at the beginning of the year I wasn't even a "novice," so who knows what the season will bring. I do anticipate that it'll be a combination of frustration and fun!

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more...!

Nice post, David. I am glad it is working so well for you. I guess I need to get back to messing around #Splinterlands

Well, I've got a long way to go, but have made some reasonable progress since I got sucked into it! I feels good to get rewarded with NFT playing cards that you can use to win games (and earn DEC at the higher levels), or sell or rent out.

Look forward to reading your "I got back into Splinterlands" post!

That is a pretty good pull for your first season and that epic card can be quite useful. Thorns is actually a fairly powerful ability but I do understand you want to rent it out because you can't earn DEC yet.

I use Mylor Crowling, the earth summoner that gives the monsters thorns ability, so I'm familiar with how powerful they are. I'm not yet well enough established in Bronze II - I find I drop out pretty quickly after a couple of defeats, so yes, I want to have the card earn me some DEC on the rental market for now.

My favorite movie of 2021 is the Apple TV original Finch with Tom Hanks. He is the only human actor in the movie and does a fantastic job. It is a very sad movie. I wish he had atleast made it to the Golden Gate Bridge before he died.
