How much DEC can I earn?

DEC (Dark Energy Crystals) is the token (cryptocurrency) of the Splinterlands game, and many people always ask:

But how much DEC can I earn playing?

The answer is not that simple as it depends on several factors and there is no exact amount, what we can say is:

The luck

When receiving chests as a reward for daily quests and end-of-season rewards, it is possible that they contain certain amounts of DEC.The DEC amount of the chests is randomly generated the moment you click to open the chest, and can come down to less than 10 DEC or up to 75,000 DEC in a single chest depending on your luck.

Gain DEC in ranked battles:

The DEC gain in ranked battles is also variable:
The league you play, the bigger the league, the more DEC you get.These aren't exact values, because of the other factors I'll explain below, but for the sake of understanding, let's say that in Silver league you average 20 DEC per win, in Gold League 50, and in Diamond 80, etc. .

Rewards fund:

There is always a finite pool of DEC being generated daily by the game, so the exact amount of DEC each player earns by winning always depends on the size of that pool at that moment.As well as the division between the total number of players fighting at that given time when the reward is shared.
And yet the DEC price (quotation) in the market, on that day, can also bring variations to define this quantity.

Energy capture rate:

This DEC capture rate bar needs to be constantly recharged as it will give you the maximum reward (for each battle victory) when it is at 100%.Each game that is played (win / loss / draw) decreases the current value by 1%. Thus, every 24 hours, the total value increases by 25%.Let's say you're at 100% and you play 20 battles, then your capture rate will drop to approximately 82% and you'll need to wait a few hours for it to return to its full 100% charge.This saves you from playing for hours and hours non-stop. You can even keep playing, but below 80% you start getting a substantially smaller amount of DEC for each win, so it’s desirable to wait for the bar to recharge.

Special edition cards with DEC bonus:

Use of gold leaf, Promo or Alpha cards:For every gold leaf, Alpha or Promo card used in a battle by a player, there will be a + 10% Dark Energy Crystal bonus given on victory.
Note that if the card is Promo gold foil or Alpha gold foil, it means that there is a + 20% bonus for each of these cards used in a battle.

Winning streak (Win Strike):

Starting with his second consecutive victory, the player receives a 5% DEC bonus per victory until he breaks this streak, with a cumulative bonus limit of 50 battles.
Here we can see a substantial amount of DEC earned in Win Strike, by a TOP player, using several gold leaf Promo cards, and at a favorable time in the rewards pool:So, obviously, having strong cards, knowing how to use cards correctly in battles, using good strategies will make you earn more DEC as you win more battles and several battles in a row.

DEC won in tournaments

It will depend on how much prize money the tournament you are participating in and your final position in the tournament result.

DEC won in the top 50 of the season.

Being among the best in a specific league you also receive additional DEC awards, until some time ago these awards were in packs, but now they are DEC amounts.To find out exactly how much each league pays the top-ranked players, visit the Leaderboard sessions for each league:There are still ways to invest DEC in liquidity funds, which generates passive income in DEC, but in this case it is not a DEC gain with the game itself and could be the subject of a future post.

A big hug to everyone, I wish you all the best of luck in the battles, and see you again soon for another chapter !
