SPL Weekly.png

HELLO to all Splinterlands readers of my humble blog.👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Welcome to yet another week of the "new" iteration of the Splinterlands Weekly Challenges 😜. The "old" Battle Challenges are now a thing of the past (at least for now?) and they have been replaced with the "Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge: Getting Started with a Free-To-Play Splinterlands Account".

For any old Hivers/Splinterland players who've just come back and are confused, fret not! Even with the name and format tweaks, right at it's core, battles are still the foundation of these posts.

In this week's edition of my Getting Started with a Free-To-Play Splinterlands Account, I will do something drastically different from my usual battle showcases. Instead of war, I will become a peaceful teacher showing all new players how to most effectively navigate the topic of "Getting Started with a Free-To-Play Splinterlands Account". It might sound hard, but it is actually far easier than it seems. Hopefully, reading these tips will help all new players dip their toes into the Splinterlands waters. Once you try it out, I'm sure you'll be hooked! 😜

With all that being said, here is how I would advice ALL players on how you can capitalize on some of these simple strategies!


Getting Started with a Free-To-Play Account

  • Sign-Up Process:
    1. Visit the official Splinterlands website.
    2. Click "Sign Up" and follow the prompts to create your free account.
    3. Connect your email or Hive wallet to secure your account.
    4. Start with the basic Free-To-Play features enabled.

Key Features for Free-To-Play Players

  • Earning Glint:

    • Complete daily focus quests to earn Glint, a free currency used for purchasing or upgrading cards in the Glint Shop.
    • Accumulate Glint over time for consistent progression.
  • Card Delegations:

    • Borrow cards through the community or receive starter cards for battle.
    • Leverage these cards to build your strategy and compete in matches.
  • Joining Guilds:

    • Engage with other players by joining a guild.
    • Enjoy guild bonuses, advice, and collaborative gameplay opportunities.
  • Advancement Chests:

    • Unlock reward chests as you progress through battles and daily tasks.
    • These contain Glint, cards, or other helpful resources to boost your account.

Exploring Splinterlands as a Free-To-Play Player

  • Focus on Daily Rewards:

    • Prioritize completing daily quests to earn Glint and advance your rank.
    • Higher ranks yield better rewards over time.
  • Join a Guild Early:

    • Guilds provide access to events, bonuses, and a supportive community.
    • Look for beginner-friendly guilds that welcome Free-To-Play players.
  • Strategize with Card Delegations:

    • Experiment with borrowed cards to find the Splinters and strategies that suit your playstyle.
    • Use cards effectively to improve your ranking and rewards.
  • Unlock Advancement Chests Regularly:

    • Chests offer incremental rewards that build your account without requiring an investment.
    • Consistency is key to unlocking better-tier chests over time.

Understanding Free-To-Play Limitations

  • Restricted Earning Potential:
    • F2P players can earn Glint but will have limited access to more lucrative rewards like Dark Energy Crystals (DEC).
  • No Permanent Ownership of Starter Cards:
    • Starter cards are for use only and cannot be traded or sold.
  • Progression Requires Patience:
    • Advancing ranks and upgrading decks takes longer without monetary investment.

Conclusion

The Free-To-Play option in Splinterlands offers a fantastic way for newcomers to explore the game without financial commitment. By focusing on daily tasks, leveraging card delegations, and joining guilds, you can enjoy meaningful progression while earning rewards at your own pace. While there are limitations, patience and strategy can lead to a rewarding experience. Dive in, test your skills, and discover the magic of Splinterlands!
