I too bought a bunch of untamed and dice packs on the secondary market (Wax). And like you I have not felt the need to rent - yet. That time though may be coming soon as I'm going to be needing a higher level summoner so I can play my upgraded cards.
It is nice the option to rent cards like that is available as buying them becomes an expensive proposition.
Buying cards is definitely not cheap. I HAVE discovered that it's not quite so bad when you pay in DEC for some reason. But we're back to the same problem I have with potions. You lose airdrop points using DEC. That said, at least you're gaining card value so it somewhat makes up for it.
Yes, but...instead of eliminating credits for payment they could have adjusted the DEC price correspondingly. Then as DEC price moves around do a daily readjustment. Not hard to accomplish.
I think they addressed that at some point. Something like too many accounts were getting opened and taking advantage of the quest potions. It was being exploited somehow so they left it as is.
Truthfully, once the reward cards come back, it is 100% worth it to use the Quest Potions. Getting 6 chests to open instead of 1 increases your odds of getting a card exponentially obviously. And one good card could pay for a LOT of potions...
A lot of people say they aren't worth it. But I use it everyday and have not done bad with it. 4 times I've gotten 2000 DEC. I got a Gold Common (my first and still only gold card). And then there's this beauty:
So the extra chests from quest potions has treated me well.
Oh that is a nice one. Sold mine a while back to invest in LEO projects. I did not know that @splinterlands was going to blow up like it did, at least not this early in the game!
From time to time I'll rent it out (44.45/day lowest rental), but I'm definitely not ready to sell it - well yet (even though lowest sales price is $115.00)
I bought like 130 Sandworm cards when I first started playing at the end of July and created a level 6. It was actually before I realized I needed higher ranked summoners to even use it. lol They were still well under $1.00 at the time. Turned out to be a good investment and it's a great card to have. I still can't actually play it but I rent it out daily for 80-100 DEC/day. 80 at the beginning of the season and 100 towards the end. I combined the other 30 to make a level 4 I can actually use....
No. You can only rent to one person at a time. Then when the rental is over, your card will be in time out for a while before anyone else can use it to include yourself.
YES! That is really annoying. Especially considering they cost $.75 fiat but now cost over $5 each in DEC. Considering the fact that spending DEC not only costs $5 but it loses you airdrop points, it really is a double kick in the nuts. That might sound funny, @kevinnag58, but it hurts!

Is anyone pissed that they no longer accept payments in credits for Quest Potions?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Kind of! I was loading up on credits for that... but I guess I can still use them to rent cards so it's not all lost

Renting cards is a great option.

I still haven't bothered since I bought packs for myself....so I tend to use my own cards.

Renting card isn't that bad but you should try to find good combinations of cards.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes. It seems like something they have no choice but to do because of how far DEC is from the peg though.

I only have 6 credits. I can not buy much with that and do not want to spend my LEO tokens! You can buy credits with all sorts of crypto and tokens.
I have never used Quest Potions.

That was a real smart move!

Card rentals are done one a 1-for-1 basis, right? Or can you rent your 1 card to several people at the same time?

No. You can only rent to one person at a time. Then when the rental is over, your card will be in time out for a while before anyone else can use it to include yourself.

It's absolutely a double hit/ But I think the loss of A.D. points hurts the worse.
