Tales Of A Bronze III Noob

in Splinterlands3 years ago (edited)

Are you getting ya teeth kicked in? Find yourself being smacked on the head til your shit flies out the back of ya skull? Out here it's a dog-eat-dog world, where the life of a noob ain't easy. This Tale is dedicated to those who are down and out...to all those still stuck in The Slums of Bronze III."

The life of a noob ain't glorious.

They laugh at us, call us names, talk behind our backs and use our suffering as some form of fucked up entertainment. We know what they say about us. We will never forget!

As the saying goes, "sticks and stones cannot break our bones, but only noobs do hurt us." The only one's who can hurt us noobs are other noobs, who we rely on for support. That's the way it is.

I wanted to take a day off from being walloped by better players all the damn time and decided to roam around the Slums of Bronze 3, observing how others get the shit kicked outta them in their Splinter battles. It's been very educational.

I managed to talk to some folks here, as i desperately need to know the way outta Bronze 3. You know what they told me?

  • "Stop being shit."
  • "Learn some strategies."
  • "Invest in better cards"
  • "MAKE SOME DAMN FRIENDS!"

Pretty legit advice.

So I headed to the marketplace and got myself this bad boy...

...since Reward cards seem cheap right now. I also like the Gundam Wing art style. Plus it's a lvl 2. I would like to build a Life deck in the future.

I then went around the Slums asking if anyone needed a friend and I was informed about a curation initiative called the HIVE BASIC INCOME (HBI)...

So I paid my dues and helped out some folks...

...who returned the favour...

Not long after that I received a message from a kind soul named @eghnim...

...who decided to gift me a Ven. Heatsmith! I was not expecting this gift at all! I already have one in my collection, so decided to level it up fast as fuck.

Now I'm feeling real good about myself, which gives me an idea to try something else on the Marketplace...

...literally a minute after creating the list, I get notified that Tusk has been rented out...

...I may be shooting myself in the face by putting the rent price so low, when a lvl 1 Tusk is going for 0.50 DEC at least...but hey...I care about those who are down and out...because I know what it is to be a noob.

The life of a noob ain't glorious, sure, yet we take the highs and lows as they come.

Trying to build a life deck, eh?

woah Proto! Thanks again for another gift! You are far, far too kind. I'm speechless honestly.

Yes i'm trying to build a Life deck, but i'm real bad and don't really know what i'm doing. Any advice?

Like you said, we gotta make some damn friends! And honestly I'm kind of at a loss for words in terms of advice. I even tried battling with the life splinter just know to try and stir up some stored knowledge haha. But nothing came up (I lost). Despite being an early adopter, I still feel like a noob myself sometimes.

!PIZZA I was there I remember, have a fun journey up to the mountain bro!

Hey!

Thanks for the follow and the pizza!

Do you have any tips and advice for a noob?

You're welcome bro! I think you are making some good buys and decisions there,

  • If I were you I'll try to get myself a level 2 Obsidian or Darius or Kelya whenever it's cheap. That would cost 15-20$(I know it's pricey but that's the best thing to do) Than for every dollar add some other lvl 2 card (for obsidian Goblin Psychic, Regal Peryton etc.) You'll see that all bots out there using nearly the same teams. Beat them by having a lvl 2 of the same team, with an advantage. This will be your out of bronze guarantee!

  • Keep your collected money on pools, I'm using Swap.Hive:PLN pool right now, I know it won't give you much but set a goal, grow your money for let's say 15 days on a LP and you got some small stuff on your wallet. One day it will get more and more. I'm collecting money for a land for 8 days now and I got so good come-back from pools.

  • For the cp don't use the automatic, try peakmonsters rent page, refresh the page and act fast on good rent deals! Right now my average rent per CP is 500 CP/DEC. That means for every 1 dec I get 500 CP. So I rent 15K CP for 30 dec a day. Now because I'm gold I rent nearly 90k for 180 DEC/day.

  • Rent some monsters for only 1 day, give 1 dec for the rent and try out better cards that you can't buy. Believe me when you are doing that CP collection renting I told you above, sometimes you come up with very good deals. Yesterday I saw a Dark Haon for 1.5 DEC/Day but I wasn't fast enough to rent it!

  • If you are working you may want to use a bot for when you are not playing, go search PcJones bot on the internet, it's very basic to use.

  • If you by chance get a card pack open it with potions and if you get something that makes money go back to buying card packs again. Believe me the card prices will fall more at least for a month or two than you can consider keeping good cards coming for card packs. Buy the card packs outside of Splinterlands, on tribaldex. It's cheaper, airdrop won't be your concern for a long time, it's still not for me yet.

  • Find a guild and play brawls, after a month you will maybe get to have gladius cards and it feels nice!

I don't know, these are my principles, someone may do things different. Maybe you know some of them and doing it already. I just wanted other starters to know these things too.

I think you can tweak things on your own way too other than how I'm doing it. And hey, keep on creating good posts too :)

You piqued my curiosity indeed! Following to find out more.😎
