My kingdom needs some better defenses, but I need DENAR to upgrade and it keeps getting plundered from me!
I'm not complaining, just scratching my head on how to correct this. I was plundered several times and lost over 3 DENAR total. If DENAR was easy to come by, this wouldn't be such a big deal... but ouch this hurts so early in the gaming experience.
DENAR is not cheap right now, selling around 0.44 HIVE, or about $0.22 USD each.
When I RAID other kingdoms, I usually get around 0.15 - 0.30 DENAR.
I'm mining about 0.6 DENAR per hour. With current price, I'm mining about $3.23/day without any raids at all! But most of that is plundered by the time I am able to put in a CLAIM. Waiting 4 hours is a really long time to leave my DENAR dangling there for stronger kingdoms to simply grab from me.
Upgrade prices are spendy, these must be done over SIX different attributes:
Level one: 0 DENAR = FREE
Level two: 1 DENAR = $0.22
Level three: 3.5 DENAR = $0.77
Level four: 5.25 DENAR = $1.55
To level up all six attributes to level 4, it's $15.24 USD worth of DENAR. Yikes! My adversary @VCELIER somehow had some monster stats and I stood no chance against him.
I think the secret to success is to purchase a "CHEST" for 100 DENAR. It will take a long time to earn that much, but it can be purchased on the market for about 60 HIVE ($32.00 USD). Difficult to justify, since we don't know what a "CHEST" will actually produce from inside. Something that should help the stats out!
With any new game, some players will thrive more than others - usually not dependent on skill, but on financial investment into the game. This is certainly a pay-to-play game, moreso a pay-to-win sort of game.
But I'm not giving up. There are a lot of buffs and updates happening everyday to make the game more fun, more rewarding and less oppressive for new players, or for players still recovering from the initial $10 HBD entry fee.
