Quick Intro
I started playing Splinterlands around December of 2021. It was actually my first time playing a crypto game and definitely first time using the HIVE blockchain. In an effort to help new people not struggle like I or many might, I'd like to continue updating these links and provide a good resource to find everything you need to succeed in Splinterlands and the HIVE blockchain.
Creating a Hive Account
If you buy a spellbook from splinterlands you will have a hive account.
Ecency.com - I've been told you can get a free Hive account here.
The Game
https://Splinterlands.com - Where you can play the game, buy your Spellbook (which creates Hive account)
Hive Keychain
https://Hive-Keychain.com - This needs its own section. A must have have for quicker access/logins (You can add extensions for chrome, brave and also there's the app for android/iphone)
PC Browsers (my top 3)
https://Brave.com - official browser of Splinterlands
https://Firefox.com - Another good browser with lots of extensions
https://Chrome.com - Solid browser
Mobile Browsers
Metamask mobile app browser - a must for Eth/Binance/Polygon/Etc. transactions from your mobile device
Hive Keychain mobile app browser - a must for Hive transaction from your mobile device
Wallets
https://Metamask.io - An easy to use wallet with browser extension available. Also app for iphone/android. You will likely want to add the binance chain to your wallet.
Coinbase.com - US based exchange/wallet
Crypto.com - Useful wallet and also has SPS listed there for purchase with fiat.
Hive Markets/Swapping
https://Tribaldex.com - place to buy/sell/create hive-based tokens like dec/sps/etc.
https://Hive-Engine.com - Hive Market & Wallet access
https://beeswap.dcity.io - best tool for swapping hive currencies I've used. Also converts Hive to
https://Swap.Hive and vice versa cheaper than tribaldex.
Bridges - for moving assets across different chains
Ingame bridge - moving sps/dec from binance to ingame. I haven't used
https://MonsterMarket.IO - cheapest bridge I believe to move SPS or DEC to/from binance to Hive.
https://app.multichain.org (formerly anyswap) - my goto from swapping coins across Binance/Eth/Polygon
Exchange Site - for swapping tokens on same exchange
https://Quickswap.exchange - Great for swapping tokens on Polygon
https://Pancakeswap.finance - Great for binance swaps
https://Sushi.com - Great for Eth swaps
https://Binance.com - great for most swaps but US residents don't have access
Splinterlands Card Markets
Splinterlands Ingame Market - as name implies
https://layer2labs.io/marketplace/splinterlands/cards - cheapest with 3.25% rebate
https://monstermarket.io - 2nd cheapest I've found
https://PeakMonsters.com - most user friendly market
https://Splex.gg - most creative features/customized options
Splinterlands Tools/MISC
https://PeakMonsters.com - Best site out there for sorting your collections, you can also purchase, rent, and now build decks and rent a full set of cards instantly.
https://Splex.gg - great for renting out your cards
https://nftyarcade.io - you can lease a deck for free to split rewards / great onboarding tools
https://splintercards.com - historical card prices
https://splinterlinks.com/ - Collection of Splinterlands Tools/Links created by IVIaxPow3r of Archmage.
Splinterlands Node License
License tokens can be purchased in shop for $2500 in SPS plus 500 vouchers or on Hive Engine.
If you don't want to have to eventually run validator software and prefer your rewards liquid instead of automatically staked there's a nice way to earn below with a much smaller initial investment.
https://layer2labs.io/earn/ezlicense - earn sps node license rewards (current ROI approx 30%)
Splinterlands Bots (autoplays splinterlands for you when you're busy)
https://Archmage.app - Great bot, they take a share of your sps rewards, requires an Archmage, ArchmageA or ArchmageB token held in your hive account.
https://Xbot.app - haven't personally tried but once you buy token it's free.
**Liquidity Pools **
You can provide liquidity on tribaldex/beeswap for all but the BNB and ETH pools and earn SPS as rewards:
DEC/DAI
DEC/Swap.HIVE
DEC/SPS
DEC/BUSD
SPS/Swap.HIVE
VOUCHER/Swap.HIVE
SPS/BNB - https://pancakeswap.finance/add/BNB/0x1633b7157e7638C4d6593436111Bf125Ee74703F
SPS/ETH - https://app.sushi.com/legacy/add/ETH/0x00813E3421E1367353BfE7615c7f7f133C89df74?chainId=1
Card Rentals - Coming soon (lots of changes here with 1 dec rental listing fees and season rentals)
*note - I'm trying to improve these links every week or so. If anyone has a site that's been very helpful please share and I'll put this on the list.
