Last few minutes of the season for Ranked Play at Splinterlands, and it is time for me to see what's my progress toward completing the Rebellion SB set.
Another slow season this time. Seems like they alternate.
I have two misses this season compared to the previous one, before even checking the rewards:
I was able to purchase 9 legendary draws this time around. With the remaining Glint, I purchased 3 epic draws, 5 rare draws and 4 common draw, depleting my Glint stash.
That makes it easy to see how much Glint I earned this season (including the season rewards from last season). That makes it a total of 341,850 Glint used for draw purchases this season. Last season I had a total of 352,700 Glint in purchases. That means I earned 10,850 less Glint this season.
Let's keep a table too, going forward:
| Season since New SB Set | Glint Used to Purchase Draws | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Season 5 | 363,200 | |
| Season 6 | 344,400 | -18,800 Glint |
| Season 7 | 352,700 | +8,300 Glint |
| Season 8 (current) | 341,850 | -10,850 Glint |
| Last 3 seasons' average | 346,316 |
Let's see what my current situation of the Rebellion SB set completion progress is so far:
| Season since New SB Set | Commons % | Rares % | Epics % | Legendaries % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 1 / 0 | 2 / 0 | 8 / 0 | 9 / 0 |
| Season 2 | 2 / 1 | 2 / 0 | 9 / 0 | 17 / 0 |
| Season 3 | 3 / 1 | 2 / 0 | 10 / 0 | 23 / 0 |
| Season 4 | 5 / 2 | 3 / 1 | 12 / 0 | 27 / 0 |
| Season 5 | 7 / 2 | 4 / 2 | 13 / 0 | 36 / 0 |
| Season 6 | 8 / 3 | 5 / 2 | 15 / 0 | 42 / 0 |
| Season 7 | 9 / 3 | 6 / 2 | 15 / 0 | 51 / 0 |
| Season 8 (current) | 10 / 3 | 7 / 2 | 17 / 0 | 58 / 0 |
That's +7% to the progress of legendary cards, which is looking average, +2% progress to epic cards which is 2% more than last season's progress, but I don't worry about them, they are fewer and when I start focusing on them, progress will go up much faster than on any of the others. +1% to rare cards, and +1% to RF common cards is minimal, but I haven't focused on them yet.
My first objective is to max out my first legendary card, which will likely happen next season (I have one legendary SB reward card at 10/11 BCX and 2 cards at 9/11 BCX). After that, I'll switch focus, because I might receive a double, which means wasted Glint. That can be avoided when there are other options.
Here are the "before and after" snapshots. "Before" first:
7 at level 3, 4 at level 2 and 1 at level 1
And now the "after":
My Rebellion legendary SB reward cards: 7 at level 3, 4 at level 2 and 1 at level 1.
Basically, in terms of levels, there was no change, but the level 3 cards advanced to max level quite seriously, with 3 of them quite close to reaching it (5 BCX missing in total for the 3 cards which are the closest).
Perhaps a more relevant metric is the amount of Glint already spent compared to the total amount needed to max out the SB set (only regulars).
Here' s my situation:
Glint needed for a fully upgraded regular Rebellion SB set, w/o doubles:
8,790,000 Glint
Glint value of the cards collected so far (ignore GF and doubles):
3,207,950 Glint
Progress percentage:
36.49%
Estimated^ time to max out the RF cards (or GF, where possible):
15 more seasons (7.5 months, i.e. beginning of July)
^) estimation now includes tier advancement rewards
Last season's Glint value of cards collected: 2,839,550.
Difference: 368,400 Glint-worth of cards this season, including tier advancement rewards.
| Season since New SB Set | Glint-Worth of Cards (including Tier Advancement Rewards) | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Season 7 | 414,550 | - |
| Season 8 (current) | 368,400 | -46,150 Glint |
| Last 2 seasons' average | 391,475 |
