Hello to Splinterlands and Hive Fam,
Hope life is treating you well wherever you are in this part of the world.
My Splinterlands Game account is - FinPulse9
The more I am going deeper in the game I try to understand it more. I have to mention one thing that it's a bigger ecosystem. Splinterland is like an umbrella where we get a bunch of products under one roof and all these are related to the gaming. For example nowadays people are talking about lands 1.75. Earlier the community was talking about survivor mode. So altogether there are so many things for the community to explore and get associated with.
For me it is just a gaming as of now and I think it is also going to take some time to get familiar with all those stuff. From the game point of view having cards is the key. So there are two options that anyone can go for to get those cards. We can get the cards from the market and purchase. Obviously it will Require more money because the cost of cards is quite high. I don't know how much it was in the last market cycle but people often talk about it on their blogs that these prices are still cheap.
The second option is to go for the rental market. Take the cards on the rental for the period that you want. You can choose from day one to day thirty or maybe more but I haven't tried that. We just need to pay the rental charges for the period we keep the card with us. I mean to say there are no additional charges and there is no subscription cost. In a way it is a good option but this option also has got some limits. For example not all the cards are listed specifically if you are looking for high level cards. Some cards I wanted to take on the level eight and above but those cards were not available. For now this is the only challenge I have come across but we'll see if there are any other issues with the rental market which I experience in future.
Today I have taken the cards on the rental and also purchased some cards from marketplace. As I have already mentioned that buying is expensive deal so I will continue to buy some cards time to time. In the mean time whenever I feel that there are some cards which are needed so I will take those cards on the rent. Obviously I will not be able to fulfil my requirement just after buying the cards so anyways I will have to be dependent upon the rented cards.
Papa is the list of the cards I have purchased from the marketplace. These are different cards on the different levels and tried picking the cards that are on some discount price. To be honest I don't know whether this price is really the best deal because I'm still not able to figure out the best option. This is one of the part that I need to figure out more in detail and I will be spending more time on these 2 find out the best option to be used.
I have utilised all my HBD reward that I earned through the post and I will continue to do it same way in future also. Apparently I will be investing some money outside my reward to put in the game. For example I have invested some money on SPS tokens and planning to put in some more next few weeks. I'm really fascinated to see that how much amount of S P S tokens people are holding especially if I'm talking about my mentor @bravetofu He is such an inspiration for me and I know that I will never be able to go beyond him but I am happy to follow him and grow my game account in the splinterland.
This is the list of cards that I have taken on the rent and this is not complete because there are so many and justice captured some of them out of the list. So basically I am taking cards on the rent and also buying from the market and will be following this practise to grow my account gradually.
After some time I will try to see if I can take some of the cards which are available easily in the rental market and buy those that are not available. Not every card is available on the rental marketplace but for sure that card is available for the sale which I can buy so I will be spending some time to find out this and go ahead gradually.
I have taken the rental for 30 days so because this season I just started so this rental collection will be good for me till the end of next season approximately. I'm happy that I know how things work in the game on the rental market and also on the marketplace but this is just the beginning because I know there is a lot for me. Overall the game is fun and I'm happy to play battles in modern format. Some battles I lose and some battles I win and in a nutshell it's a fun game to play and that's all I can say.
