Progress Report - The turtle will win this race.

in Splinterlands14 days ago (edited)

Slow, but steady - the turtle way. Screw whales, they can't swim on soil, the turtle... well... it can rob. No, that's a rob. Whatever, you know what I mean.

Status Quo

My last report is around 18 days prior, and yet, a few milestones have been achieved again. Every EOS I get closer to my goal of maxing out the reward cars, except for legendary - closer, not there yet. Common is done, but Rare is resisting fiercely and Epic is quite annoying as well. In both I have "that one card" that is far off the rest, and will take many draws to get them maxed - I might give up before that happens, and do Chests instead.

Reward Cards

3 cards that are 1 (!) BCX away from max. This was SO frustrating. The worst was the Reaper - I got the one BCX that I was missing, but it was a gold foil. I mean, seriously? In the whole batch of 25 only 1 BCX, and it's a GOLD FOIL? At least I got Olivia maxed out. No surprise, she appeared 9 times in 25 draws, and one was a GF. Also, the Blade turned up with just the 2 BCX I needed.

The face I made when the reaper appeared, almost at the end - and how that face faded when the card turned gold.

Rare is looking good! Next season I might still have to buy all 100 cards, as the Megalodon needs 10 more copies. If lucky, I'll get those within the 100. If not - another season. And most rare cards are good enough to have another high copy for Survival, so it's okay.

One more BCX of the Reaper, but 9 missing for the Conjurer. The rest is finally maxed. I have to learn how to use Olivia now, I was told her at max was the key card to getting a higher win rate - we'll see!

Land

Higher and higher on SPS and DEC. Finally was able to match my Grain production with consumption. I thought I had covered it all, even after buying a stoner, but that wasn't the case. And then I did a few calculation errors for which Landmaster AZ would probably have me flagged (the old way, as whipped).

So I ended up buying a few Battle Orcas to get it all right, and now I produce 3 grain more per hour than I need. My reserves should last until that is all harvested, I currently have 30% of my pool stake under 30 days, so 70% are available to feed my resource workers.

HIVE, HP and HBD

Breached the 1900 HP. 2000 is getting closer. I started the year with 300 HP, so that is a good pace. My goal is now to reach 5000 HP by the end of the year - that would be really amazing. It depends on my time and energy, real life is still very demanding, but I'm doing my best - and from time to time, I get lucky and engage in the right conversation, leading me to write the right post, like the one about how to sell all assets.

With the recent push in HIVE price, I also managed to cross the $500 worth of HIVE related assets. That's a nice milestone - but I hope that HIVE will go rocket mode this year and leave the $500 in the dust.

SPS and DEC

Wow, that SPS worth just doubled! And DEC is close to peg! I'm flabbergasted. Really happy with it, although I would've loved to buy some more SPS at lower prices - but I didn't post enough, I guess, to earn enough HIVE to buy more. Still, I'm at 138k SPS right now, looking to reach 150k by the end of the year, without buying more SPS - CA is the next big buy!

On DEC, I reached my goal in the Trader-Pool, with 100k DEC. That's more than enough to buy the wild pass just with the ROI from the pool.

Due to the recent surge in DEC, the trading account itself actually suffered some losses, but if DEC stays at peg, that will be history soon enough. So excited for Conclave Arcana!

So far, so good! Have a great evening, any comments and feedback is welcome. Take care!
