Thank you @thebluewin for mentioning my daily post in the above post update of holybread.
I started out doing these series of Holybread personal gaming updates but I have never expected to receive so much support from different steem communities.
I am grateful for the support from @nextcolony, @curie, @curangel and @good.game (steemace) for my personal sharing of my gaming experience as one of the test players for the new Holybread steem game.
There are also many test players who regularly come by to read and support my posts.
I believe the amount of support that I get is a good indication of the support that the different communities have for the new steem game, holybread.
I can only say ‘Thank you’ from the bottom of my heart for all the support given to my humble posts.
Typical Player
I have made a decision not to spend steem to buy any items so that I am a good example of a typical player who wants to play the game without the need to spend.
I did not enter the game until many hours later after the release of the test play so I was already behind the rest of the test players.
There are some test players who used steem to buy bread to reduce the waiting time and some also purchased items or heroes from market using steem.
Without spending steem, I am spending about 3 hours daily to catch up with them.
From the current total prizepool of 904.597, I have a share of 5.43% (48.32 steem) which would be paid to me if the developer decides to stop the test game period now.
The percentage of my share of the prizepool is based on the amount of breadcrumbs that I gathered which I would probably get lesser as each day passes because I am unable to get good weapons to equip my heroes to rise in rank at the Arena.
The game play is not too intensive as it is not the arcade type so it simply takes patience to play.
The fact that I am playing a game with a chance to get some steem is already a bonus regardless of how much it would be in the end.
Many of the games that we play do not let us gain a single cent except for leisure.
My Current Disadvantage In The Game
One of the factors that can really help us to stay above the rest would be having good weapons and items for all our heroes in the team.
I am unable to get really good items at the moment to equip my heroes.
The new additional hero that I manage to add in few days ago is unable to get a weapon for her level.
She is an archer with a current rank of 9 since I kept completing quests to gain experience for levelling up.
She is unable to get a weapon from the start even after few days as most weapons are of higher level.
Both slingshots from the item store and market are at level 14. The only chance to get a lower level weapon is through quest if she happens to get one.
The chance of getting a lower rank weapon would be low so the best thing to do is to keep levelling up so that she can get a weapon of a higher level.
I wonder whether the developer should consider having more items at the item store since the later heroes added to our team would be at lower level especially for the hero3 slot.
Just a thought at the moment regarding the difficulty in getting a weapon for my lower rank hero.
Fight Sequence
@thebluewin has kindly visited my post to answer a question that I have about the order of fight in the arena.
He shared that hero3 will always fight first followed by hero2 and the last to fight would be hero1 during a fight at the Arena.
I actually switch my weaker hero to hero1 slot so that she would fight last but there is not much effect at the moment since she does not have a weapon as I mentioned earlier.
He also mentioned that Luck plays a part of who attacks first in the Arena. Whoever has more luck will hit first. If both heroes have the same value, it is randomly decided by the system. (I believe he was referring to our fight with our opponent if I interpret it correctly)
Arena Zone
I am at rank 12 in the Arena with 156.91 breadcrumbs every 15 min.
My total breadcrumbs is 197456 at rank 7.
My total breadcrumbs is high because I ever stayed at rank 1 of Arena for few hours so I gathered some nice amount of breadcrumbs then.
Character Status
I was at Level 18 for my Character Status yesterday. I managed to move up to Level 20 which is 2 levels up.
I did notice that my status rank was listed as level 29 at the Arena but my actual status is at level 20. Perhaps it is another bug to rectify.
Damage Increase: From 242 to 286
HP Decrease: From 4748 to 4586
Crit Chance Increase: From 9% to 14%
Strength Increase: From 100 to 120
Constitution Decrease: From 119 to 104
Luck Increase: From 64 to 113
Intelligence Increase: From 17 to 19.
Dexterity Increase: From 16 to 17.
The reason for the decrease of my HP is due to my change of item.
I had to make a decision of equip my hero with an item that would increase his damage but reduce his HP.
Since my damage is low when compare with similar rank so it makes sense to do so.
My HP is quite high so I should be able to afford this slight sacrifice for an increase of damage which I am lacking.
I am grateful for all the unexpected support for my daily post and I would like to thank everyone who has supported these daily posts so far.
That is all I have to share for my gaming at Holybread today.
Thank you very much for reading this post.
