Recently Splinterlands has changed the structure of its Ranked Play and End Of Season Rewards. Instead of winning Focus and Reward Points to earn Chests, you now earn Glint - a new, non-transferrable token than can be used to buy Soulbound items from the Rewards Shop. Is this a good thing? I don't know, I guess that's why I am making this post to ask...
So we're still 4 days out from the end of the current season - the first since the introduction of Glint and I've started to earn a few. I'm starting to think about what I am going to do with this Glint and in the process trying to figure out what might give me the best Bang for Buck. Or maybe I should just save up my Glint instead? The Shop currently looks like this :-
I am assuming that the Draw Options are similar to how the old Chests work. I was earning Diamond and Gold Chests before so I'm probably looking at the Veteran Draw or Elite Draw choices if I want to do a Like-For-Like swap and get similar rewards to before. Merits are an option I could take if I want to upgrade my Gladius Cards for Brawling, but I'm fairly comfortable with my Brawl competitiveness at the moment. I certainly don't need any more Potions, the Titles are out of my price range and buying Energy is unlikely to be a good option because I'll probably spend more rewards than I can earn from the extra games played.
So I tried an Elite Draw for 2,500 Glint and this is what it looked like :-
Wow. That's pretty underwhelming. I already have like 200 of those Possessed Puppets so I don't really need 8 more. Maybe I should just save my Glint for now. What about you? What are people out there doing with their Glint? Are you happy with these latest changes?
