Introduction
Hello! I am a new Splinterlands player as well as a newcomer into the play-to-earn community!
First and foremost, this is my first week playing the game and I feel like I have become familiarized enough with most of the basic functions and features of the game. I don't necessarily have the funds to fully invest $100s of dollars into the game for new cards and have been playing at the beginner level. I heard that creators can earn a bit of extra money so I hope this will work out and I can use it to fund a portion of my investment into the game.
Also, if you are on the edge about this game and decide to start, feel free to use my referral link and I will receive 5% of your in-game spending! Of course you don't have to use it if you don't want to and can sign up normally.
Review and Value
Carrying on!
This game is fantastic and brilliant in my opinion, as it provides users with an entertaining (though rather uninvolved) card game with some rpg elements that make every match exciting! You can earn Dark Energy Crystals or DEC with every win you get which are tradable back to the market in exchange for real cash.
At the time of writing this post, one DEC is valued at $0.00648.
There is a ranking system implemented, to where you must win matches and attain a collection of card in order to climb. I'm currently Bronze III (the second lowest ranking) and am looking to blog so I can increase my collection. There are 15 day seasons that reward players based on their rank with chests that can contain DEC, cards, or potions.
There are also daily quests that you can complete that reward you with a chest everyday. I personally purchase the daily quest potions with credits (I'll get to those in a second) to increase my chest count from 1 to 6.
Credits are another currency within the game that are valued at 1,000 credits per $1 and you can purchase with PayPal. I personally favor the credits right now (especially since I don't have much DEC) because they offer a way to put money in the game directly rather than, in my case, from BTC in my Coinbase wallet to the Hive Engine, and then trading the BTC to HIVE to DEC.
I haven't looked much into Splintershards, or SPS, but I'm sure they'll become more prevalent to me after blogging.
The cards are where the real value is at, though. Just from a few days of completing the daily login, I have gained 5 common cards that are valued at just over $0.20 each. I hope to one day own some epics and legendaries to increase the value and power of my collection.
Conclusion
All in all, this game is pretty entertaining and worthwhile to at least log-on daily. This game is starting to take off and things are only looking up from here! Higher-ranking people make $100+ per month just off of this game, and any investment in this game could increase over time.
For anyone who has made it this far I just want to thank you for bearing with my first blog ever, this kind of thing is new to me but I'm working on it!
