Hello everyone. This is my first post here. I have been playing Splinterlands since around March of this year. I have lurked around the discord and a little here on peakd, but had not found the time to start posting myself.
I would like to change that and start to become a bigger part of this amazing community.
Now that the Chaos Legion pre-sale has ended, I am overly hyped for December 8th to get here as soon as possible. I may have only collected 2 packs over the duration of the pre-sale, but the anticipation of opening a pack for the first time in several months has me a little anxious.
Meanwhile, I have been testing the waters with a few passive income methods.
Usually, I sit in a comfy Silver III, working my way, slowly but surely, to Silver II without rentals. This season though, I started with a pretty low ECR carried over from the previous EOS, so I decided to rent out most of my collection power and play in Bronze II.
Sure, the DEC rewards may not be as high, but I can make in a day roughly the same amount of DEC from my active rentals that I would have from playing all day from ranked rewards.
I know that I should only play around 25 or so matches a day to maximize ranked earnings, but that is a very hard thing to do when you love playing the game and have a few spare minutes every now and then.
Thankfully, in Bronze II there are still DEC rewards from ranked (though pretty low compared to Silver III).
The only thing that I feel that I am missing out on are:
- 2 chests daily instead of 1
- Bronze can receive credits in daily chests. (So far though, I have been lucky enough to only pull credits once or twice.)
- End of season rewards
I feel that end of season rewards are what I miss the most from this season, but I usually only get a few commons, potions and a few DEC anyway.
I plan to use the passive income from rentals to purchase a few cards that I will be missing after the starter Beta/Untamed cards are gone.
So far, I purchased two cards that I would like to keep after the Chaos Legion release:
Usually, these cards have been sitting at ~10 USD each, but I decided to pick them up yesterday for $5 and $7 respectively.
What are your thoughts on the release of Chaos Legion?
Are you stacking cards from the market that you would like to keep?
Discuss in the comments and have a great day.
