Hello friends of PUBLISH0X and SPLINTERLANDS players,
Today 28 February 2021 another season of Splinterlands came to an end.
It was a disappointing season for two reasons:
I didn't reach the goal I had set for myself: to make it to the Champion III league.
I didn't find anything exceptional in the chests.
I finished the season in the Diamond II league and therefore not only didn't reach my goal but also worsened my result from the end of the previous season where I finished in the Diamond I league.
My final rating was 3079 points compared to 3458 points in the previous season.
With this score I was placed at the number 277 of the Diamond ranking.
The almost 400 fewer rating points than in the previous season are the result of fewer battle victories.
In fact, this past season I completed 281 battles (8 less than the previous season) but only got 152 wins (23 less than the previous season).
My winrate was 54.09%.
This winrate is also lower than my total winrate which is 55.04%.
In order to increase my power score on the last day before the end of the season, I rented 15 cards from the market at https://peakmonsters.com/.
The cards I rented are as follows:
Gloridax Magus, Untamed, Level 4
Diamond Dragon, Untamed, Level 3
Angel of Light, Beta, Level 4
The Kraken, Reward, Level 4
Elemental Phoenix, Beta, Level 3
Magnor, Untamed, Level 4
Lord Arianthus, Reward, Level 4
Corrupted Pegasus, Promo, Level 3
Lord of Darkness, Alpha, Level 3
Red Dragon, Promo, Level 4
Daria Dragonscale, Reward, Level 6
Valnamor, Beta, Level 3
Crypt Mancer, Beta, Level 3
Lyanna Nature, Beta, Level 7
As soon as the season ended, I stopped all contracts with a duration of more than 1 day.
The rental cost me a total of $0,44.
Goal for the current season
In the recently finished season I did not reach the rating of 3700 points to enter the Champion III league.
I also had a lot to do yesterday and didn't have much time to try to reach my goal.
When I sat down in front of my computer there were only a few hours left until the end of the season.
Despite the disappointing result of this season I decided to try again to reach the Champion III league in the season that has just started.
Reaching the Champion III league would be a great satisfaction.
Now let's see my end-of-season reward in detail
My end-of-season reward
The reward for finishing the season in the Diamond II league corresponds to a total of 50 chests.
In the following picture you can see the cards I found in the chests.
I found 17 cards out of 50 chests.
The chests can contain three types of rewards: Cards, DECs, Potions.
The probability of finding a card in each chest is 1/3, so I was neither lucky nor unlucky because I got 17 cards instead of the average 16,66 that are probably there.
However, I was very unlucky because of the type and value of the cards found.
I found 13 common cards, 3 rare cards and 1 epic card.
The most valuable card I found is Torhilo the Frozen which has a market value of $0.214 and a DEC conversion value of 200.
Torhilo the Frozen is a card that has a good conversion value to DEC relative to its price and is therefore useful for increasing the value of the power score but is a card that I very rarely use.
In my card collection I now have:
1 card Torhilo the Frozen level 3 (10 BCX)
2 level 1 Torhilo the Frozen cards
Torhilo the Frozen becomes a bit more useful when he reaches level 4 and gets the Last Stand ability, so I need 8 more cards for level 4.
The total value of the cards I found in the chests is $0,670.
DEC and Potions
I also found 12 Potions and a total of 1699 DEC tokens.
Today February 28, 2021, 1699 DEC equals the value of 3,29 HIVE (Highest BID on LeoDex/HiveEngine)
As you can see from the calculations shown in the image below the dollar value is 0,97 $
Today one DEC is worth 0,00194 HIVE.
Differently from the previous season where the dollar value of 1 DEC had increased, this season it has decreased.
In fact, on February 1, I found a total of 176 DEC in the chests with a value of $0,11.
On February 15, 176 DEC had a value of $0,13.
Today, February 28, 176 DEC have a value of $0,10.
Conclusion
I'll do some calculations now:
total cost of card rental: 0,44 $
value of cards found in chests: 0,670 $
total value of DEC tokens found in the chests: 0,97 $
The total reward was - $0,44 + $0,670 + $0,97 = $1,2.
A somewhat disappointing reward although slightly higher in value than the previous season.
I was luckier with the DEC total found and less so with the cards found in the chests but even though my end of season reward wasn't the best, Splinterlands is a fun game that rewards its players for playing.
What traditional, centralised game rewards you for playing?
The answer is obvious:
none!
Not a Splinterlands player?
See you on the Splinterlands battlefields.
