Hi !
This is the first post I publish in this great community.
I've been playing Splinterlands for a month but until recently with little success.
I spent the time delving into the mechanics and figuring out which cards to buy and after the first timid purchases I realized that they weren't enough even to reach the Bronze II league.
After all, the cards that really make the difference are quite expensive, aren't they?
How then?
By renting the cards, of course.
What I will explain in this post, however, is how to rent cards in a sustainable way, considering the budget you can spend and, indeed, managing everything as an investment.
The method is relatively simple, albeit a bit convoluted.
Decide on the budget you want to spend right from the start.
You can play Splinterlands for free, just buying the summoner's spellbook but the process would be very slow.
How many of you who read this post are stuck in the Bronze II league? I feel your pain.
Moreover, if you finally decide to buy some cards and they do not make you win, you find yourself back to square one.
The method.
If you buy SPS instead you can stake them and gradually increase the amount of SPS you have (also consider the effect of compound interest).
Additionally, you can transfer the vouchers you get by staking SPS to Hive, convert them into DEC, and send those DEC back to your Splinterlands account.
You can then use the DEC generated through this method to rent the cards you need to win and move up to higher leagues.
Once you get to Bronze II you will start earning DEC by also winning fights.
The amount of DEC generated and, consequently, how many DEC you can have to rent the cards obviously depends on how many SPS you hold in staking.
This depends on your particular situation but if you have the possibility I suggest to start with at least 500 SPS to generate a decent amount of DEC. 1000 SPS will give you a nice amount of DEC to make things really move upward.
Not only, in this way you won't committ your hard earned DEC/SPS/HIVE.
This is only the first part.
In the second part of this guide I will suggest which cards to rent to ensure you reach the Bronze II league and from there begin, I hope, your glorious climb through the leagues.
After I will consider writing a guide in which I go even deeper into the SPS airdrop and staking mechanics, it all depends on You. Let me know in the comments!
Thank you in advance for your support. Soon the second part !
