Hive Goals Counting Down T-2 Weeks

This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLDR form. The table has only some information, so if you want details, they can be found in the post.

Current State/Other Selection Criterion	Goals Matching the Criterion
Completed	5 (Staked SPS, Replies Received, Comments Made - initial goal -, Staked LEO, HIVE Power)
Missed	1 (Comments Made, increased goal)
Ongoing	1 (Maxing CL Set)
Stopped	1 (HBD)
Initial Goals	2 (HIVE Power & HBD)
Stretch Goals	1 (Maxing CL Set)
Increased	1 (Comments Made)
Lowered	0

With two more weeks until the end of the year, and most of my goals completed, my only focus remains to max out the Chaos Legion edition (and the associated reward cards). This remains a tough goal even after I started powering down 12k SPS to help out with it.

My optimistic estimate was that I'll need one 3k SPS power down then stop it. The cautious estimate was that I'll need two weeks before I can stop the unstaking process. Looks like this is the scenario I'll be in, the cautious one, because 3k SPS wasn't enough, especially after the recent dip in the crypto markets.

At today's card prices, and without counting in any other cards from opening packs or rewards, I'd still need about 200k DEC (down from 370k last week) to complete this goal. I bought more than 170k DEC worth of cards this week (at least 180k during the last 2 days), so the rest comes from the fluctuations in the market.

Let's see what changed since last week.

HIVE Power (HP) Goal - `Completed`

My main goal of reaching 25k HP this year is COMPLETED.

This week my HP grew by 32 organically, even though I keep most of the HIVE I received liquid.

This week HIVE dove with the market to below 29 cents, but I haven't bought any. Maybe this was a missed opportunity (remains to be seen), but I want to start buying again next year, not now.

HBD Goal - `Stopped`

I stopped this goal during the year in favor of HIVE Power. Initially, the goal was to reach 5000 HBD in savings by the year-end, starting from almost nothing.

LEO Staked - `Completed`

My staked LEO goal is COMPLETED!

I staked 492 LEO on LPUD, which brought my total to a round number: 10500 LEO. That was the last LPUD in 2022 and it came with a matching delegation from the Leofinance team.

When I don't save for LPUD I use LEO to (re)build a stash of stables that will help with my Hive Goals next year, besides being a buffer for whatever else I'll need in the crypto land.

Splintershards (SPS) Staked Goal - `Completed`

The SPS staking goal is COMPLETED!

However, the SPS rewards from ranked battles, daily focus and season chests come in a staked form and will keep increasing the stake. Same as the land and TD (nightmare packs) rewards.

Another 1016 staked SPS were added last week this way (less because I had my playing deck rented out at the end of the season). Because of the unstaking process that I started last week the actual staked SPS dropped compared to last week by 1984 (3k minus what I staked during this week).

Besides what comes staked from the gameplay, the SPS goes to the diesel pools.

My 12k SPS power down continues this week as well, to help with my other Splinterlands goal. Most likely this will be the last week, then I'll stop it.

Maxing Chaos Legion Set*

^{*) or reaching the limit beyond which I consider upgrading a card not profitable}

This week I maxed out Possibilus the Wise and I consider maxed out Forgotten One (still needs a few BCX).

Grund and Spirit Hoarder also have enough BCX to combine to max level, once they return from the rental market.

Carrion Shade reached the limit I decided for it: level 7 (150 BCX).

I also continued to buy some of the missing BCX for the cards that I considered maxed out in the past and which need some boost to be maxed out in time before the end of the year. I will continue doing that until the goal is completed.

I'm still opening packs as I earn more alchemy and legendary potions.
