Unlocking
Okay, as you all know Splinterlands recently allowed 'unlocking' of the Chaos Legion Soulbound (CL-SB) cards. They also launched the new Rebellion SB cards.
The CL-SB cards can now be unbound using the following published schedule.
Additionally, every 30 days, the price to unbind a card will increase by a multiple of one.
Day 1-29: 10 times the card's power in DEC
Day 30-59: 11 times the card's power in DEC
Day 60-89: 12 times the card's power in DEC
Day 90-119: 13 times the card's power in DEC
Day 120-149: 14 times the card's power in DEC
Day 150-179: 15 times the card's power in DEC
There is a counter at the unbind page that gives an idea how long is the window of opportunity when the card can be unbound, after that the card is permanently soulbound.
There are two choices currently, well three really!:
- Unbind the card and sell, rent, or use it in an alt account if you need
- Burn the card for glint, which you can use to get new reward cards
- Do nothing!
Also there are 3 ways to pay the unlock fee:
- DEC
- DEC-B
- Credit!!
I don't currently have much DEC and have absolutely no DEC-B. Thankfully, and I almost missed it, I can pay the unlock fee using Credit. This is what I have been doing. I can purchase credits using paypal, and credit is available readily.
On my main account I have a full set of CL-SB cards, and some extras. I am planning on unlocking some of the extra legendaries to transfer to my Silver-Gold-Diamond level account that sometimes I play manually. That way I will have all the critical cards to play.
Glint: How much do I need?
This I do not know to be sure, but my friend Vugtis did the calculation below
mathematically to max 1 set = ~9M GLINT (not counting chest, since chest has better EV, the number will be likely less)
9M / 24 (24 seasons/12 months) = 375k / season
Summary:
If you can earn about 375k/season, you will be able to complete the reward set within 1 year
Average champion can reach this amount without buying energy.
By setting average champion (lower end of champion) as the baseline :
5k rating champion will get it lesser than 1 year
Gold level player won't be able to complete it within 1 year without buying energy.
Currently on my main account I have little more than 6M Glint. I am in no rush. As per Vugtis I will likely have a full Rebellion Reward card set in 12 months, likely less than that.
