Hi all,
Time really flies. I still recalled when I first started Splinterlands, I thought that the duration of each season of about 2 weeks was rather long. And yet we are here on the last day of the season.
Pretty excited for my season rewards.
I decided to rent CP till Bronze I (I wish I could rent till Silver 3 at least. My rating is around Silver 2). I had a first hand experience of how high rental costs can be near the end of the season.
For every action/decision that I take in Splinterlands, I try to reap as much learning experience as I can. Therefore, through this end-of-season rental, I decided to try my hands at renting gold foil cards as they give you bonus DEC when you win battles. Why not gain a few extra DEC compared to renting normal cards, right.
I focused on Earth Magic and a few neutral cards (typical Ooze and Furious Chicken). While it might not be the most DEC-CP efficient, below are my rented cards:
- Obsidian Gold 20 DEC 500 CP
- Wood Nymph Gold 15 DEC 750 CP
- Ooze Gold 15 DEC 750 CP
- Furious Gold Chicken 60 DEC 3000 CP
Total DEC spent: 110 DEC

I also recorded the DEC I earned from 100% capture rate.
DEC earned from each win
- 2.8 DEC
- 2.77
- 3.168 (4 gold)
- 2.87
- 2.59 (2 gold)
- 3.099 (4 gold)
- 2.74
- 2.61 (1 gold)
- 2.46 (forfeit)
- 2.9 (4 gold)
- 2.3 (2 gold)
- 2.2 (2 gold)
- 2.195 (2 gold)
- 2.1 (1 gold)
- 2.3 (2 gold)
- 2.0
- 2.2
Total: 38.1 DEC
17 wins amounts to about a gain of 38.1 DEC (that is about 35% of what I spent on rental costs).
Before the season ends, I believe I should be able to rack another 30 DEC worth of wins, bringing my rental costs to around 30 DEC.
Objectively, I might have just racked in more profits if I stayed in Bronze II with minimal renting. But I think it is good money spent for the learning experience. Potentially, I could explore owning a few gold foil cards for long term gains. Hopefully those bonus chests from Bronze I can give me some decent rewards.
Alright, that's all I have to share for now. Thanks for reading.
Do share with me what you have done for this end-of-season or what you have done or wished you have done differently. Would be interested to hear on other people's game plan :)
On a side note, resource credits are really precious, I kept finding myself running out of them which is why I always had to wait until my RC recharges before I can post
