A lot has happened this week in Splinterlands. Some good things and some not so good. As you will see below, I made good progress, made a few purchases and got a little lucky. On the other hand I was very disappointed and disgusted by one thing: the huge number of bots in this game... For 3 days, about 90% of my fights were against bots. I almost regretted investing in this game. Fortunately, things are much better now. Maybe the developers banned them, i don't know, but now about 10% of my fights are against bots. Much better indeed! With that said, let's move on to the different statistics.

Money spent and profit

ItemsQuantityMoney spent
Summoner's spellbook1$10
Land10$200
Untamed pack25$51
Azmaré dice (new)16$40
Card purchases2$0.132
Quest potion13 (+7)$9.49 (+5.11)
Alchemy potion144 (+64)$7.2 (+3.2)
Legendary potion137 (+57)$5.5 (+2.3)
Total spent$323.32 (+50.61)

Okay, first I just noticed something. I should have used the prices in dec and not in dollars...😶For example, the alchemy potion is displayed at 49 dec / $0.05 on Splinterlands website but its real current value is about $0.11. And I didn't keep track of the DEC value when I bought items. So yeah,the amounts are not exactly correct... I'll have to make some changes next week I guess. Any recommandations? Otherwise as you can see, I finally managed to trade some WAX for DEC and bought some dices.

Talking about dices, I told you earlier that I got a bit lucky. Well, here's what I found when I opened an Azmaré dice:

Yes, it's valued at $285!🤯I found another Two Gun Pete just before but it was a normal one. It's still worth $15. Now, according to PeakMonsters, my collection is worth $579.04 right now (using market prices).

Let's do some quick math! I spent $323.32 and my collection is valued at $579.04. Don't forget that I bought $200 worth of lands. They're basically useless right now. So for now, I will post my profit with and without lands.

Total profit: $255.72 (lands included) / $455.72 (lands not included)


My statistics

Yes, I reached gold. Yay me! It was not too complicated in the end but the start of the next season was difficult. As I said above, most of my opponents were bots and that tilted me a bit. Right now, I can't advance to the next league because I don't have enough power. I'm renting out my legendary gold card right now but I'll get it back in the next days to reach gold again I hope.

**

My objectives**

  • Reach Gold Rank
  • Reach 40000 power 100000 power
  • Buy some Azmaré dices (Done, but I want to buy more)
  • Get more SPS Airdrop points (Still working on it, airdrop coming in a few days!)
  • Buy a few hundred Chaos Legion packs when available

As you can see, I have achieved my short-term objectives. I just want to buy more dices and reach 100000 power for now.The SPS airdrop is coming on monday and I'm pretty excited about this! A quick update about my progress:

This week I earned 61582 airdrop points thanks to Azmaré dices and an untamed pack that I won in a giveaway. Not too bad.

That's it for today! As usual, if you see any typos or mistakes, please feel free to tell me in the comment section. Thanks and see you next week!
