Greetings,
We’re thrilled to announce that we’re giving away over $20,000 worth of Ethgard Legends Alpha Packs to Hive and Splinterlands stakeholders!
Backstory
When we started building the game over a year ago, we had the best intentions in mind. Using Hive as our technological platform and fully embracing Splinterlands, we initially released an early version under the "Splinter Royale" branding.
Later, when we rebranded to Ethgard Legends and shifted to EVM-compatible technologies, aligning with our vision of becoming a fully onchain game built with smart contracts, we still felt a strong connection to both the Hive and Splinterlands communities.
In fact, we use Hive as our primary long-form blogging platform and continue to follow its technical progress closely. We're also keeping a close eye on Splinterlands' development and remain hopeful for future collaboration opportunities between Splinterlands and Ethgard Legends.
Alpha Pack Airdrop to Stakeholders
To show our gratitude to both communities, we’re airdropping a small Christmas gift:
An Alpha Pack for Hive stakeholders with at least 1,000 Hive Power who have been active within 2024, or Splinterlands stakeholders with at least 10,000 SPS who participated in Governance voting within 2024.
If you're unsure whether you're eligible, we'll be sending out notification transfers shortly.
How to Mint Your Free Pack
- Sign In to Ethgard Legends using your Hive account.
- Go to the Settings page to connect an EVM address. We recommend either Metamask, Coinbase Wallet or Brave Wallet.
- Head over to your Inventory and mint your pack onchain.
- (Optional) Get a few lucky potions for extra luck.
- Open it and take the cards for a spin in the arena. (Check out our Tutorial to get quickly familiar with the game)
Onchain Transactions Gas Fees
Minting your pack requires an onchain transaction, which can be paid for in CREDITS or ETH. No reason to worry here, as transactions on Base and B3 are very cheap—on B3, they’re practically near-gasless (less than $0.001).
Paying with ETH: Ensure you have sufficient ETH in your wallet on B3 by bridging from Base: https://bridge.b3.fun. We recommend at least $1 worth of ETH, which should cover gas fees for a long time.
Minting with ETH Paying with CREDITS: CREDITS can be purchased using various tokens, including HIVE, SPS, DEC, and more.
Minting with Credits
Share Your Openings
We’re curious to see what you’ll pull from your packs! Maybe some gold foils or even a diamond foil? Feel free to share your openings with us in this post.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We can’t wait to see you in the arena!
Sounds like a shitty airdrop that I need to pay eth to get and not be able to sell since there's no market. Only a parasite like @therealwolf could come up with an airdrop that makes people poorer.
Self upvoted for visibility, will remove vote later before payout.
Too bad outside of HIVE, and too bad you have to pay to get your airdrop, I don't like games on coinbase or anything else, but thank you all the same, so I wouldn't open the pack (free) which you have to pay for
Hey @hive-103505, no problem! It’s totally understandable that new things can bring a bit of uncertainty. But if you change your mind, the pack will still be there for you to claim! 🙂
PS: You can play the game for free if you’d like to check it out. It’s a lot of fun!
Hmm. Having a hard time finding the Pack "minted", but I don't think I did since I don't have any Credits.
Also, I opened a chests with crowns in it, but they don't show up in the right corner xD
Hey @cwow2
We've rephrases the dialog sentence now. Guessing you've expected it to be minted on clicking on it. To mint, you'll need 1 CREDITS or enough ETH on B3. Please refer to the post on more details.
Refreshing the page should show them. We'll implement an update after opening chests as well.
Edit: Make sure you'll connect an EVM address in your Settings. For example, via Metamask, Coinbase Wallet or Brave Wallet.
Ohh man, thought I could do it all through Hive :p
Of course you can't. Therealwolf is only hear to leech friend
Thats why you downvoted it, I was wondering :D
😆
hi @ethgardlegends
a login with Hive always leads to an “Error”.
Hey @ogfox, please try again. Should be working now!
Can I also be part of the airdrop, even though I have actually bought some Alpha packs and already play the game :D
I have over 1k HP and over 10K SPS staked (and I'm taking part in voting).
I got my Metamask wallet connected also.
Could really use some extra packs 😅
Hey @tsnaks, you're already on the airdrop list. Sign in again and you should see the pack!
Oh right, Just had to log out and sign back in :)
Thanks for the airdrop!
Are you sure this pages is safe ??? @tsnaks
I played Splinterroyale a long time ago, they just rebranded to Ethgard legends.
I mean I can't be sure 100% if it's safe or not, but I've seen them develop the game and I quite like it.
It's a big shame though that they didn't like HIVE Blockchain and are moving the project more towards other chains, but through the credit system, HIVE users can still interact.
And how to you get this .... are they going to ask me to loge in what my keys on some pages ??
I just use Hive keychain to log in.
Hey @foxkoit, you can just use Hive Keychain to sign into the game. This works like any other Hive sign in works - Splinterlands, Hive Engine, Peakd, Hive.Blog, etc.
WHat is that ???
How does the Login with Hive Account work? No Keychain App or anything available…

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 60/70) Liquid rewards.
Too convoluted so not gonna bother.
Not only do I have to interact with a chain I don't care for and also have to pay fees but I have to move funds on to some other chain/bridge as well. Naaa..
Hey @shmoogleosukami, no problem! You probably already know this, but B3 is an L3 on Base with very low gas fees. Most recently, Parallel announced they'd be launching their upcoming game on B3 (https://decrypt.co/250208/parallel-nft-game-maker-reveals-project-tau-ceti-3d-shooter). So it might be interesting to have some ETH on B3 nevertheless. Anyway, the pack is there for you to claim if you change your mind 🙂
First time hearing about this one. The HIVE transfer with message is what alerted me.
I’m having an issue on mobile. Logged in using Keychain mobile, zero issues. Used sign in code to login on MetaMask mobile, again zero issues. Once I try to connect my EVM address using MetaMask mobile, the Connect Wallet “MetaMask” function does nothing when I select it. I’ll attach a screenshot of where I’m currently stuck if that helps.
Hey @daltono, are you able to use MetaMask on Desktop? We'll need to troubleshoot why it's not working on mobile and this might take a bit. We'll let you know however once we've looked into it.
