Hello to any of my readers and "Dear (weekly) Diary" ๐
This is actually a pretty exciting and interesting week in HIVE. However, all the buzz is probably on the World Cup going on at the moment and the prediction contest going on ๐คฃ. That being said, it has been a rather quiet/regular week for my Splinterlands gameplay, seeing as we're in the middle of the season.
Even on the Splinterlands dev side of the game, there isn't really any big news that I know of. There are some minor changes in brawls which are of some importance to anyone who plays those regularly though. And of course, the aftermath of the GLX token pump from 2 weeks ago.
But before I go into detail...
A brief introduction before I start though...
Good Day to all Splinterlands players! (and people of HIVE! ๐) I've made it a point to blog about my weekly progress and experiences in Splinterlands/HIVE in my "weekly diary". Splinterlands & HIVE are what I'd consider to be my entry point into the World of Crypto, and I intend to use this as a means to look back on the path I've taken in the years ahead.โณโณโณ
This is now the 53rd consecutive week writing in my Diary (of sorts) detailing my Splinterlands Journey ever since I started this game. Of course, this also marks another weekly giveaway! ๐๐ฅณ๐
No week goes by in Splinterlands without some news event happening though. And here's my pick of some of the most interesting ones in my opinion. ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ
๐บ๏ธ๐งณโ๏ธUpdates on my Splinterlands Journey๐บ๏ธ๐งณโ๏ธ
As I've mentioned, it's a regular week of daily farming for me in Splinterlands. I am actually in my second week of holiday travels overseas and my playing hasn't been as intensive as I've liked it to be. However, I'm still managing to keep as much of my ECR from "overflowing" as possible and getting my daily reward chests.
I've not got any real gems from my chest openings so far though. Looks like I'm really down on my luck since the terrible previous End of Season openings ๐๐ญ. Please shower some luck on me oh Lady Luck! ๐
My quest for more Gold Foil Legendary cards from my rewards chests continues on ("Greed is Good!" ๐). It's a 0.008% chance, at base level, to pull a legendary gold foil, in case you were wondering ๐. Here's to more jackpot strikes in the future (i hope) ๐ค๐ป๐๐ค๐ป๐๐ค๐ป๐.
My Tower Defense packs have naturally not moved at all since last week. I don't really have the time to list and unlist my packs everyday. I've decided to leave them all sitting in my Splinterlands account to gather the daily SPS airdrops. I'm getting about 20+ SPS everyday from the 200+ Nightmare packs. Not too shabby of a return in my opinion. ๐ค
๐๐ฐ๐Splinterlands News๐๐ฐ๐
There isn't any major news from the Splinterlands devs. However, Brawl Frays aka Guild PVP has had some much needed updates. These are mainly the addition of Riftwatchers to frays. For the specifics, I'll leave the official announcement link below if anyone should want to preview the information directly.
https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@splinterlands/brawl-frays-riftwatchers-update
This is a much needed change in my opinion. Riftwatchers has been out for some time already and not having them available in guild brawls feels really odd. But better late than never I guess. It's finally here. ๐
The price of the GLX token which launched to such fanfare 2 weeks ago has been sent crashing down to earth. In just 1 week, the price has crashed from 0.8+ HIVE/GLX to just 0.25 HIVE/GLX today. It does seem to be the floor price at the moment though. The APR % is still very impressive with about a 1000% APR at last count.
I have decided not to sell my GLX anymore but compound and stake it. It could still pay off handsomely and everything is pretty much a gamble on the track record of the Splinterlands team. I have recouped a major portion of what I've spent on GLX and my cost average of GLX (including my compounded stake) is much lower than the pricing currently. This is not including the completely unknown value of the GLGT token too. Time will tell if this will pay off handsomely or crash and burn spectacularly ๐คฃ๐๐
Weekly Chaos Legion Sales Tracker
And now, for an update on the number of Chaos Legion packs sold thus far. About 14k sold since last week. That is an amazing sales figure! ๐
Here's the current count (as of the moment I'm writing this post) of the number of packs sold, and we're 594k away from the 11 million mark! Which also means everyone has a chance to get in now and grab more packs for the remaining airdrops! ๐
My fingers are crossed! ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป Hopefully I'll get some amazing luck for the next round! ๐๐๐
โจ๐โจWeekly GIVEAWAY #53โจ๐โจ
โจ๐โจChoose One of these Reward Cardsโจ๐โจ
Instead of continually going through my list of common reward cards I can afford to give away each week, I've decided to let YOU CHOOSE WHICH YOU PREFER! ๐
This is probably more helpful, especially for new players who join my giveaways, as they can then finetune their decks with what they need (if they're lucky enough to win ๐๐).
Of course, all these options are while stocks last, if I'm unable to offer you the card you've chosen should you win it, I will send you one of these cards in the list instead. They are all very useful for new players, and even veterans who level these cards up to high levels will find them pretty strong too! ๐๐ช

Hi @blitzzzz
Writing about a "Diary of my Splinterlands Week 53 journey", is that so like a contest or is it a simple Splinterlands game?
Hola @blitzzzz
Escribir acerca de un "Diario de mi viaje a Splinterlands Semana 53", eso es asรญ como un concurso o ยฟes un simple juego de Splinterlands?
Ah this is actually part of the Splinterlands weekly challenge where you can submit up to 2 posts to Splinterlands itself for curation.
It is also a personal record of sorts for myself.

You can take a look at this link. There's a new one every week.
