Like farmers who have just finished harvesting, Splinterlands players have a similar moment: **counting the results of the previous season**. The difference is, while farmers harvest rice, we harvest **Glint**. And honestly, seeing the Glint total at the end of a season always brings a small sense of satisfaction. As if every win, loss, and strategic experiment over the past two weeks finally takes on a tangible form. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbXN3TBZ8mtasXJZcbyFFjot8TKHD3m7kW8ViH8mFPasS/season_end.png) This season, I’m quite satisfied with the results. From ranked battles and other activities, I managed to collect **more than 37,000 Glint** from season rewards. On top of that, there was also a small bonus from **Survival mode**, which was **4 SPS**. Not a huge amount, but still enjoyable—and I plan to discuss Survival mode in more detail in a future post. When combined with my previous savings, my Glint at that time reached **around 98,000**. A decent amount to start spending. With that much Glint, I decided to focus on a single target: **Epic Draw**. The reason is simple. Epic cards often sit in an interesting middle ground—not as expensive as legendaries, but frequently powerful enough to significantly influence battles. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWZQAwrH7bYaQT9kntU7b1BzLFT7ek54dAWfKaUz4v9aY/epic_draw.png) So I sacrificed **60,000 Glint** to open **4 Epic Draws**. As the cards began to reveal themselves, curiosity naturally kicked in. And the results were quite interesting: * **VOSS** (2 copies) * **JORAKI VENSHIRO** * **WAILSWORN SPECTER** Seeing **VOSS** appear twice was actually quite encouraging. It means I’m getting closer to a level upgrade. I only need **1 more copy** to raise it to the next level. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmToGip6WuU3WFjQqxDFh2a4ayStZzhXBi8tMKNJbui9yu/epic_draw_results.png) Unfortunately, **no Epic Gold** appeared this time. But that’s the nature of probability—sometimes it gives, sometimes it only gives hope. After finishing the Epic Draw, I still had a considerable amount of Glint left. Rather than letting it sit idle, I decided to try my luck with **Major Chest**. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmQmZJuTaMawCoaADmasCGqrPcpEGScm8K5VSpQbrnxBeu/major_chest.png) With **37,500 Glint**, I purchased **15 Major Chests**. Honestly, this is where the adrenaline usually starts to rise. Major Chests are like mystery boxes. Sometimes they’re ordinary, and sometimes they deliver big surprises. As I started opening the chests one by one, the early results were fairly entertaining. One of the drops was **3 BCX Gravebrabd Warlock**. That amount was enough to **upgrade the card to level 2**, which of course opens up new strategic possibilities on the battlefield. But the real surprise came after that. Suddenly, one of the chests **shook**. Moments like this always make players pause for a second. Because it usually signals one thing: a **legendary card**. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWm8z3EwvFkqy7rBxZzVfJsNnwXd8uJRcDRkhm56w1tkF/major_chest_results.png) And sure enough. What appeared was **CHUMA MARANDU**, a **Dragon Legendary** card. I actually sat there for a few seconds staring at it. Because if you think about it, the value of this card is roughly equivalent to about **70,000 Glint in a Legendary Draw**. In other words, this single card almost compensated for all the Glint I spent on Major Chests. Sometimes luck really does arrive in dramatic fashion. --- ## A Pretty Sweet Final Result From this season’s rewards, I gained several important things: * **Gravebrabd Warlock** upgraded to a new level with additional skill * Extra epic cards for the collection * And of course **CHUMA MARANDU**, which immediately strengthened my Dragon lineup It may not be a perfect outcome, but it is clearly **very satisfying**. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXW1CTzd9NNNTJfYz1MtLS5U74r4W6j3kQehwnmoCYDCo/level_up.png) One of the most interesting aspects of the current reward system in Splinterlands is its flexibility. We can choose between: * opening chests for big potential rewards * or buying cards directly through specific draws Both approaches have their own playstyle. Personally, a combination of the two feels quite effective. Epic Draw provides collection certainty, while Major Chest offers the chance for surprise moments. Additionally, the next strategy I plan to run is reactivating the **BURN SPS TO GLINT** feature. This way, I can accelerate Glint accumulation for the next season. And one more small plan: in **Survival mode**, I’ll try moving to a **more populated bracket** so the battles feel more lively. Opening Epic Draw builds the foundation of a collection, while Major Chest creates opportunities for unexpected moments—like when **CHUMA MARANDU** suddenly appeared from a shaking chest. And in Splinterlands, moments like that are always a reason to keep playing. That’s all for this season’s small report. See you in the arena, warriors. ⚔️ ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXuXxp6GBhwB1HpXvoabLn8Dt8QaRKSe1WNYDzqX1v6Vk/chaos_logo.png) Talk about Splinterlands, If you haven't tried out this fantastic game called Splinterlands yet, I invite you to [**Join**](https://splinterlands.com?ref=rqr4).
