Its been a while I posted. I was on vacation, a bit away from civilization, and didn't want to touch my laptop too much. Most of my online activities were done on my iPhone. That works well for governance related work, basic reading and commenting, but not suitable to writing. Also I sort of wanted to take a break as well. The only Hive related things I have done in the last 20 days is play Splinterlands and buy cards :) Why?
I also just checked my last blog this morning after 23 days. I thought I should check some of those stats again and see how the card market performed while I was away.
This is the exact picture I used on my last post on prices of these 4 Untamed Legendary Summoners. All of them are cheaper. One, Chanseus the Great, have more cards on sale. The first point I mentioned above is an user of $100K US + worth of cards, so if that account sales the prices will be softer. This also give "human" players and investors like me a lot of opportunities to grab some assets on sale. That is what I have been doing.
Also if you look at the volume number of the present picture, which is $6648 in sales in the last 24 hours; compared to 23 days back it was $3045. So currently we are perhaps experiencing 2 times the volumes. This can me easily seen from the MonsterMarket Market usage tool.
The recent volume surge is clear. People are buying a lot of cards on sale!
The next item I quickly check is how my card collection is doing. 23 days back, my card collection on my playing account was worth $4933, today at the time of writing it is $3766. That's a 23% drop in 23 days! I thought excellent.... time to buy 11 Chanseus the Great :)
I checked the whole marketcap drop: It was 4.9 M, 23 days back, today it is 3.7 M. Exactly a 23% drop in marketcap. All that makes perfect sense. I am not even a bit worried. Looking to buy some cards on sale!
I don't play much. I love the game, but I don't always find the time. When I find the time, I like to play efficiently. Meaning I trying to rank as high as possible by doing the least number of games. I don't care about the quest rewards or DEC. I just try to rank as high as possible, as fast as possible. This requires me to play only late season. Typically last 2-3 days only. But this time I was on vacation and I had my phone with me. So I played during the season, and for the first time ever for me, I qualified Champion 1. Previously for the last few season I will always end in C-2 with about 4300 rating. But this season I already ranked 4744. Going is very tough now, and I do not have a complete max deck, so it is unlikely I will move any higher up. But it was a good season for me. I am enjoying playing the fire splinter with Zaku!
With 2 days to spare, and hopefully no more life quest, may be I can improve my rating beyond 4744.
Will see....
As a bonus, enjoy this awesome battle using Zaku.
