Warning: personal victory post ahead 🎉, sorry if you're not into that 😅 — but I really just wanted to share an accomplishment that took me quite some time to achieve. Mostly, I want to show it's possible if you stick to the plan.
A Quick Flashback...
Back in the day, Splinterlands used to have a MAVS channel. For me, that was never really an option. I wasn’t about to buy 1000 packs from a single edition just to qualify. My style has always been slow and steady — easing into an edition, sniping cards off the market at the right time, building my deck piece by piece.
And let’s be honest, from what I’ve heard, that MAVS channel wasn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows. It had its... moments 😬
Then the Roles Changed
Eventually, the team reworked the access system into three specific Discord channels:
- Shard Holder: 250K+ staked SPS
- Card Holder: 2.5M+ Collection Power
- Land Baron: 50+ plots of land
And suddenly... I felt motivated.
I don’t know why exactly, but I’ve always been into hunting achievements — even back on PlayStation, I’d chase trophies in games I loved. It’s not about the value, it's about the chase.
Grinding for Glory
So here's how it all played out:
- Shard Holder: I got this one a while ago. Honestly, this was the “easy” one because I wanted to stack SPS anyway for Glint rewards and governance.
- Land Baron: This felt like a stretch. I never thought I’d reach it, but slowly I kept expanding. Then a few months ago, I shifted my strategy from going deep to going wide — and boom, the goal came into view. Bought those extra plots and crossed the finish line.
- Card Holder: This one is the flex. This one mattered the most to me. For a long time, it felt so far away... but I told myself I’d get there naturally — not just buying cards for the badge, but building a playable, powerful deck.
And then last week, while checking PeakD, I saw it.
The badge popped up.
I had hit 2.5 million CP.
I was shocked and proud. It came from buying tons of cards to support my land expansion. So not only is my land strategy growing — but I also hit this major milestone as a side effect. Love it when that happens.
I'm Not Even That Active on Discord...
Funny thing is, I read a lot on Discord, but I rarely post or engage in debates. So it’s not really about the Discord roles for me. It’s just about the personal flex.
I’m curious — are there other badge hunters out there? Or am I just a weird breed? 😆
Anyway, I’m now officially a proud owner of all 3 badges. And if you’re a newer player — maybe this can be your long-term goal. Even if there’s no monetary value, chasing and earning achievements feels good.
I know the team has hinted at future achievements and I’m 100% here for it. Give us more milestones to grind for and show off — even if they’re just cosmetic. I’ve already spent way too much time trophy-hunting on my PlayStation... might as well keep that energy going in Splinterlands too!
Wait… There’s Another Badge?! 😱
At the time of writing this… I noticed something wild — there’s another badge out there I didn’t even know existed:
1M Staked SPS 😵💫
Oooooh noooo... is this gonna be my next goal?! 😂
That would mean more than doubling my SPS investment — which is either going to be another massive stretch… or a very slow grind. Probably the latter. But now that I know it’s out there… it’s definitely gonna haunt me every time I stake a bit more SPS.
For now, I’ve actually never sold any of my SPS. At some point I probably should, to balance my Splinterlands spending habits a bit — but so far, I’ve just been drifting deeper into the game. And honestly? I’m not mad about it.
So yeah… badge #4, maybe someday. Let’s see where this grind takes me 😅
See you on the battlefield,
