Apparently so! I'm just gonna have to set aside some time for it soon, nothing else to do about it. So much to do and so little time xD I'm pretty certain I'd spend A LOT on Splinterlands assets too (with emphasis on GFLs), if I suddenly got this kind of money between my fingers. From where I'm sitting, it looks like you're doing solid decisions on your investments. And those GFLs will certainly appreciate a lot, regardless if they reach the thousands. Bsides, they have a lot of important work to do on your land when the time comes, in addition to generating extra dec for you now.
btw, I just read your last SPL post, and I gotta say I'm beyond impressed with the progress of your collection and general asset accumulation. I'm learning a lot (both about spl and investing in general) from reading your posts. I was just lucky to be here early, but you are growing strong regardless. Soon we shall both sit comfortably on our porches in Praetoria with straws between our teeth, watching our golden monsters working the land :D
PS, if you aren't aware, WAX is another way to buy land plots without the cumbersome Hive-engine route. Besides being a feeless blockchain specifically designed for NFTs with tons of interesting projects, it's quite easy to acquire WAX directly in the cloud wallet.
The WAX tip sounds promising if I can find a way to get WAX. It doesn't seem to be available on any exchange I can access, but will definitely explore it. I just bought up more gold summoners to get Kelya and Thaddius to level 5. I'm tempted to just pull the bandaid off and bring them up a few levels more because it'll make game play so much easier. I'm just not sure if prices are about to rebound up or slide down, so I'm trying to be patient and do this in steps. With my L5 gold summoners, I can now play the L3 GFL's without Quix, and the Baakjira's self-heal up front is AWESOME. I also have the Cursed Windeku that can self-heal too, so I've tried to see beyond the cost for the better armies to allow me to earn more easily. I also don't see myself buying tons of packs to get these cards at random, so I'm sort of counting this spend as "my future pack purchases" instead.
Sorry for the late response, been knocked out by covid for the past week. Hm, looking at the cloud wallet interface, there should be some US-available exchanges for it, both fiat and crypto options.
Level 5 rare summoners, yes, that's where I've been since Beta. Right in the middle between silver and gold, too strong for silver, a bit too weak for gold. I see you got your Tarsa and Thaddius up to level 6 now. Good call. Now they're maxed out in gold league. So just the rest of the collection remains! I think you're doing it in the right order, slow, steady and patient. And buying singles, not packs, that's the way to go.
Baakjira at level 3 IS amazing. In semi-low-mana battles with the Noxious Fumes ruleset, I put him in the back, while the rest of our teams fight it out. Enjoy, adversary :D Another interesting card to look out for that's super cheap now, is Pelacor Conjurer. Quite strong in low mana battles
