End of Season 98 Report: My First Diamond Chests

in Splinterlands2 years ago

I am a little late with my End of Season report, and what can I say that most people are finding it pretty competitive right now. The lower rewards in the bronze and silver leagues are pushing people and bots higher.

The release of Lux Vega and the increased demand for DEC has caused it to surge, particularly against Hive which has fallen. In the last few days, it seems to have pulled back a little but is still almost double the rosey price of 0,12 Hive.

This may be because the demand for DEC has subsided and also the big news that Splinterlands will cut back their staffing levels. I was surprised to learn that they had so many staff to be honest.

Whilst it may seem like bad news, I also see it as a big opportunity for all those involved. Perhaps I have rose-tinted glasses on, but I am sure guys working in crypto are in high demand and they will find something quickly and be creating new games and projects.

You can see that I didn't make it back to Diamond III this time but finished strongly in Gold I. I stuck with my deck and avoided any rentals as they were very expensive and I wasn't really sure what I should rent to give me that push.

I reached Gold III and stopped with Wild as it was even more brutally competitive than Modern! Even though I had a few stronger monsters at the start of the season, I couldn't make much further progress.

This season I managed 31 Diamond chests and I was much happier with my haul compared to last season, but last season was a particularly bad haul.

Here you can see just my Diamond chests haul. Not bad and I got a Chaos Legion pack.

My full season rewards with my mostly gold chests was pretty good with a few gold foils.

The end of last season DEC had just started soaring and was at 0,17 Hive when writing my report. Today it has fallen back to around 0,20 Hive.

Here you can see the huge run up that it had. In hindsight I should have continued to buy DEC but the problem is, how high will it go and when to sell? Answers on a postcard.

Until prices go down further, I continue to sell my DEC and wait for lower prices to buy back in. There are quite a few cards I want to buy, but not at these prices. I will wait further before any upgrades to my deck.

I have been getting SPS daily from the Hive:SPS liquidity pool and this has been good to boost my SPS stack because we also are getting airdropped more GLX tokens for staked SPS.

Therefore, maybe now it makes more sense to have staked SPS than in the liquidity pools..? after 2 weeks I have also checked the impermenant loss levels and I have gained 8 Hive but lost 67 SPS. So far nothing to worry about so far.

Good news in the Guilds is that we are now earning SPS for rewards which I think is a great development. I'm not sure what effect this may have on the price of SPS though as people will probably sell for DEC.

I also managed to pull my first legendary which will be a great addition to my deck. My deck sure does need some reinforcement as there are some tough opponents sometimes we are facing!

That's it for this time, I wish you a successful new season.

Thanks for reading.

Even though Lux Vega was released and DEC was in higher demand, you still managed to win Gold, proving that you are doing well. What a great thing.

Diamond chests haul and Chaos Legion pack was also won , this is a great win. I'm sure you will do better next season.

Thanks, it was a pretty good season overall. Good to see you today. !ALIVE !LUV

Thank you so much

Nice season wrap up. Congratz.
I wonder myself if diamond chests are worth the trouble compared to gold. I tend to think gold is curently the sweetspot when talking about chests as the higher number of chests outweighs the (only slightly) better chances in diamonds.

The jump from bronze to silver was a no brainer as the CL packs came into play and about double the chance in gold foils and legendary. If I remember correctly, gold has also double chance compared to silver but from gold to diamond the chances don't double anymore.

You're doing great in the brawls btw, so glad you're with us :-)

Thanks, I think you may be right. Unless you are actually battling in Diamond, earning Gold chests will probably make sense. I had one really great season and 1 really bad season, but it should average itself out.

Good to be in the team. !BEER

Congrats to the Fina, she is realy nice 😃

Thanks, I am looking forward to using in action! !CTP

Nice. I am still hunting for my first GFL in the Gladius cards. I have a couple regular, but not Gold. Those are much better rewards than you got last time. I like the three gold foils, very nice. That is pretty much all I play with anymore and I rent out the rest of my deck.

Thanks, it was a big improvement. I hope this season will be also fruitful. A GFL Gladius would be pretty special. Did you play any guild matches and get SPS rewards? I got my first today.

Yeah, we got 17 staked SPS. More than I thought we would get. I didn't think they are going to automatically stake it either. Not that I care, but it was interesting to see that.

Cool, yeah it's a good result.

Nice rewards! 3 gold foils and a pack which is always a nice surprise. Did you open it already? 🙂
Keep on grinding!

Yes, I do like packs, they are my favorite to get. I opened it straight away and got a Kelya so it was a pretty good opening. !PIZZA !CTP

Summoner is always a win!

Thats what I think! !CTP

Excellent write up and a great season. Time to unleash the Fina Voxom!

Thanks & yeah, she needs unleashing! !CTP

Nice update. The DEC price changes is very interesting - will be interesting to see where it settles. And I too had been considering the SPS:Hive pool, but just kept my SPS staked in order to get the GLX airdrop.

Staked SPS seems to be the place to be with at least 100% APY over a year
