📚📝Diary of My Splinterlands Journey Week 64📝📚 (🎁🧧Giveaway inside🧧🎁) - "500m DEC-B sold. 20% discount for Riftwatchers?" 🤑

Hello to any of my readers and "Dear (weekly) Diary" 😜

Love is in the air, or more accurately, it will be soon. 😘 Valentine's Day is approaching in just 2 days so I wish everyone lots of love! ❤️💘💝

HIVE, or rather HBD, is still making sudden movements in the market. Just a few days ago, there was a short sudden spike in the value of HBD for a couple of hours. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite able to take advantage of it but I hope some of you did. 😱📈🎉

On the Splinterlands dev side of the game, it does seem pretty quiet mostly. However, DEC-B has finally gone live and is available for purchase. So if you're interested in pay a down payment now for a future discount, I guess that would be a pretty good deal.

But before I go into detail...

A brief introduction before I start though...

Good Day to all Splinterlands players! (and people of HIVE! 😜) 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.⏳⏳⏳

This is now the 64th 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! 🎉🥳🎊

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. 📰📰📰

🗺️🧳✈️Updates on my Splinterlands Journey🗺️🧳✈️

---

It has been pretty tame this week for my own Splinterlands gaming. Soulbound rewards seemed to have gradually settled in and everything is back to normal again (at least in my opinion). Although we won't be able to trade/buy/sell/rent any of these rewards for an estimated 1-2 years until the current print ends, I'm looking at it long term and shall just continue on my daily grind.

That being said, I do feel like the ability to use potions to increase the chance of getting Gold Foils and Legendaries are pretty great. I've managed to score 3 legendaries thus far. The percentage chance is still really low, and it might be pure coincidence but it sure does feel good to see those shaking chests more often.

After my initial 2 legendary cards jackpot in my very first day, I managed to get a 3rd one just yesterday too! I'm still not quite sure how to use Ave Sturgis with his WEAPONS TRAINING ability properly though. Hopefully I'll soon see some pro players utilising this card to it's full power so I can get a better idea.

---

My quest for more Gold Foil Legendary cards from my rewards chests continues on ("Greed is Good!" 😈). It's a 0.008% chance, at base level, to pull a legendary gold foil, in case you were wondering 😉. Here's to more jackpot strikes in the future (i hope) 🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀.

---

I have not managed to get any new Nightmare packs to replace all those I've sold. I will wait patiently to get them at the price I want. 🤑

🏆💰🎁Splinterlands News🏆💰🎁

The DEC-B (B for Battery?) proposal passed some time back and it has finally gone live!

What is this new form of currency though? It is basically a prepaid version of DEC which is to be used in the future mostly for Land and Guild Buildings. To put it simply, if you pay an upfront amount of DEC now, you will be able to get 20% discount on future purchases using said new currency.

For the time being, it seems like these items below will be covered by DEC-B's future usage.

• Land Survey "Potions"
• Guild Building & Guild Alliance Building Upgrades
• Building Upgrades, Maintenance, and Boosts in the Land Expansion
• Future "mini-editions" (such as Orbs, Dice, and Riftwatchers) pending DAO approval
• Skins & Cosmetics

What caught my eye the most was probably the (pending) proposal for DEC-B to be used on Riftwatchers. This is most interesting indeed if it comes to pass as that will mean an instant 20% off those packs. I will really have to consider this properly.

Of course, if you are a land owner with a ton of land to be developed, then it is probably a no brainer to get these DEC-B now as land will almost definitely have to be developed AKA "spend more dec" before it can be utilised properly.

There is still about 1.5 BILLION DEC-B for sale at the moment (out of the initial 2 billion), and the sale will last until 9th April 2023. So do get it quick before it runs out. 💸

Weekly Chaos Legion Sales Tracker

---

And now, for an update on the number of Chaos Legion packs sold thus far. About 447k sold since last week. That is an amazing sales figure! 😄

(Well, actually, the burning of CL packs has also started and this will add into the figures. So that means CL packs are soon going to be in really short quantity. Best to get it while you still can!)

Here's the current count (as of the moment I'm writing this post) of the number of packs sold, and we're 403k away from the 14 million mark! Which also means everyone has a chance to get in now and grab more packs for the remaining airdrops! 😜

My fingers are crossed! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Hopefully I'll get some amazing luck for the next round! 🍀🍀🍀
