Daily Quest for Splinterlands:
Earth Splinter
Today's Splinterlands Daily Quest was to use the Earth Splinter in battle and win 5 battles doing so.
@tehox/splinterlands-art-contest-week-119-splinterlands-elements
I have to win five battles using the Earth splinter. I will attempt to accomplish this without renting cards to my advantage as I want to save my Dark Energy Crystals for future Quest Potions. Quest Potions will allow me to receive five additional loot chests(rewards) each time I complete a daily quest!
I will be playing at Bronze level three and using the Phantom Card Deck that comes with the purchase of the SPELLBOOK that is required to play.
At Sixty Dollars USD for a promo pack of 11 Quest Potions ($5.46 a Quest Potion), I started to think they are not really lucrative to acquire based off past Quest rewards but I was mistaken! The Quest Potions are worth aquiring, to better understand please visit this recent post from me where I win two amazing cards! 5 or 6 cards from quest rewards in 7 days! Ok ok, I won a $12 USD card, not close to recovering the costs of the original Quest Potion promo purchase I made. I am still happy nonetheless.
I do enjoy the engagement here on these Splinterlands posts and even making them so I will carry forward with continued enthusiasm for the Daily Quests!
Perhaps, I can do this for a month just to have a collection of bronze level posts showing how fun @splinterlands is without getting lost in the ROI's, yROA-B's, dec's and of course that very pretty SPS; for all these new users flocking Splinterlands that can barely afford a SPELLBOOK. The SPELLBOOK is worth every penny by the way!
Splinterlands Token's
The Splintershards (SPS) Token
Splintershards (SPS) is a new cryptocurrency governance token which will be integrated into the Splinterlands game in order to provide increasing levels of decision-making ability and control over the product to the player-base, asset owners, and other stakeholders.
The primary purpose and utility of the Splintershards (SPS) token within the game will be participating in governance. Splinterlands plans to introduce a governance voting system into the game platform that will allow players holding staked SPS tokens to vote for or against different proposed changes to the game and ecosystem.
Each staked SPS token will be worth one vote, so the more SPS tokens a player has staked, the more they will be able to influence the results of the votes.
SourceDark Energy Crystals (DEC)
Dark Energy Crystals are the in-game currency in Splinterlands. You earn it through "burning" (i.e. destroying) one of your cards or by winning battles in ranked games. You will get extra DEC if you win your battles using gold foil and/or alpha edition cards. Your winning streak will give you a boost in DEC rewards as well. However, if you are playing several matches in a row the amount of DEC you are eligible to receive goes down each time you win. This recharges over time and is referred to as your Capture Rate.

What is SPT?
So far, SPT has not been having any effect on the Splinterlands ecosystem, except for a little extra incentive to blog about the game. Splintertalk has its own frontend condenser on Splintertalk.io, where you can find its own trending page, a fantastic way to find the currently best Splinterlands content. You can also find your SPT specific wallet there, where you can stake your SPT. Alternatively, you can use LeoDex for that, where you can manage all your Hive Engine tokens.
When SPT was originally issued, 100k SPT has been airdropped to each Maverick at that time (investors who bought 500+ Booster Packs), who had to individually claim the airdrop from the founders. Since then, a lot of SPT has been sold off and the price has plummeted while it was still lingering on the Steem blockchain. Since the token listens to the the tags #splinterlands, #steemmonsters and #spt, it is often even used without the authors knowledge! Now, with the transition to the Hive blockchain and some fresh promises by the founders, a new interest is arising for the token.
Before we head into battle I would like to update you on the AXEMASTER EPIC Water Monster that I received from completing yesterday's Daily Quest.
After receiving yesterday's level 1 AXEMASTER EPIC Water Monster from the Daily Quest rewards, I went to look at the card market in game and acquired the necessary amount of cards for my vicious new AXEMASTER, in order to level him up to a level 3. The prices on AXEMASTER was very reasonable and there was plenty in stock despite the HOT card market. This move I did was extremely lucrative to do since a leveled up AXEMASTER will complement my Epic water collection very well with a 3 ranged attack, a 6 health and Double Strike abilities allowing him to attack twice each round. I can use this AXEMASTER in the last position as a backline card or at the third position, I foresee.
Currently, my water summoners can only call up level 3 EPIC cards to battle. This prevents me from going to level four with this bad boy and to be able to do close ranged attacks that allow for more strategic card placement in future battles.

The Earth Summoner I will be using today.
LYANNA NATURA
After the Magi of the Forest, Lyanna is the greatest summoner from Anumün. She has many powers in addition to summoning, including her ability to communicate clearly with animals. She is married to Aggrodius Lightbringer, and they live together in Draykh-Nahka with their two daughters, Kiara and Talia. Lyanna lives a busy and high-profile life, very different from her simple past on the Lyverian countryside.
Battle 1 of 5
Yesterday, I had an opponent surrender but the surrender did not count towards my Daily Quest, unlike today where it did. My first victory in battle today was a surrender.
Battle 2 of 5
Pre Game Statistics
I am not the strongest at playing with the Earth Splinters. Admittedly, I lost a lot of battles before remembering to include my EARTH ELEMENTAL in the last positioned card for the high health and low mana requirements as a ranged attacker. I also started using LYANNA NATURA in combination with UNICORN MUSTANG with great results as I started winning more using this combination of cards.
This win was only the beginning of a few more!
Battle 3 of 5
Pre Game Statistics
I found what worked and kept going with the same line up. I only switched out CHILD OF THE FOREST (3 mana) for KHMER PRINCESS (2 mana) for these next few battles, due to Mana Cap restrictions.
Using the EARTH ELEMENTAL as my backline card really made the difference for today's battles I feel. Not many cards out there with a low mana, high health and ranged attack like the EARTH ELEMENTAL has. The Low Mana for the EARTH ELEMENTAL allowed for extra cards to used in other positions.
Battle 4 of 5
Pre Game Statistics
I messed up screen capturing the pre game stats this time.
The Mana Cap was 17 and my opponent was most likely going to bring in his Death Splinters.
As I mentioned earlier, the EARTH ELEMENTAL allowed for me to bring in extra monsters to battle. I had the edge because of this!
Battle 5 of 5
Pre Game Statistics
No reason to stop a good thing while it is going on! So, let's line 'em back up and go at this opponent regardless of the fire they are bringing to battle.
The EARTH ELEMENTAL really came through big time for us today!
EARTH ELEMENTAL
The Earth Elemental, when properly summoned, takes the form of the terrain upon which it is summoned. It can be a tree, a pile of living mud, a sandstorm, the possibilities are endless. No matter the form, the Elemental has mystical healing powers that it draws from the planet itself.
Let's see what I won today for the completion of my Daily Quest!
