Hey Splinter Fam🧙‍♀️ We already down to **6 DAYS : 18HOURS** to another End Of Season (EOS). Hope the battlefield been kind to you my friend. In the ever-evolving game of Splinterlands, my journey began like many others — with curiosity and a touch of bewilderment. I didn't have a clue what I was getting into, but it didn't take long for me to get addicted to this amazing game. Today, I'll take you through my Splinterlands adventure, one that's provided me with Fun, Friendship, and a growing Collection. _{[***My Magic mage Fan Art Card 🔥VONAK🔥***](https://next.splinterlands.com/shop/packs)}

## A CLUELESS BEGINNING - JANUARY 2022😁

***`"I'm not sure what I'm looking at, everything is on zero"`*** - that's a question I asked **H3M4N7** when I newly registered on Splinterlands and bought a spellbook. ![FuUvlbKXwAUFX-8.jfif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/queenstarr/23tknCNwDvWiAac6nxS1befH5m55BwqBNg6EJbzap9yuPGgP5rLWmqCm8nCDTe4h5CpMA) Back on the 24th of January 2022, I was utterly clueless. Looking back now, it's incredible to see how it all began and who played a part in my Splinterlands journey. First and foremost, I want to thank @**H3m4n7** and @**Naneqts** for helping me out that day.

Shoutout to @**Saffisara** and @**Enginewitty**, who have been generous friends. They welcomed me into their guild, 🌳**`THE FAMILY TREE`**🌳, which was my very first guild ever. These wonderful people especially @**Saffisara** delegated and sent me cards at the end of each season. They went above and beyond, helping me with practice sessions [😅beat my ass 99%] and teaching me the ropes. I played Splinterlands for a whole year without knowing about bots or how to use them. It wasn't until my second year that I found out more to the game and then the emergence of Soulbound cards for ranked battles. I then started creating blogs about the game four months later and, in the process, learned more about the cards. It truly was an amazing start for me in Splinterlands, and I owe a huge thank you to these fantastic friends.

## 🛤THE JOURNEY SO FAR🛤

![untitled.gif](https://media.tenor.com/4vUZcV2fl9cAAAAC/flora-bly-manor-purrrfectly-splendid.gif) 😅It's going perfectly splendid. I've witnessed my growth over time, and while I may not have excelled in all aspects, I've definitely made progress in many exciting ways. I've found an awesome guild, 🍕**`THE PIZZA STUFF CRUST,`**🍕 and I've built strong relationships with free-spirited individuals who I really love and enjoy their company. The experience has been nothing short of remarkable. I then received an invitation to join one of the best guild in my opinion, the

**`GUILD OF NEOXIAN.`**

This is a major highlight, a genuine honor and you can see just how well we are doing from this post on an [**Amazing Tier 5 brawl with the Champions**](https://peakd.com/hive-177682/@queenstarr/splinterlands-brawl-report-with-the-champions-and-more-gladiators). My gameplay has evolved and improved significantly, thanks to my wonderful guildmates who in their unique ways encourage and teach me gameplay strategies.

## **🏆ACHIEVEMENTS AND GAINS: MORE THAN JUST CARDS🏅**

To start off I'm Nigerian, and it's not always easy to invest a lot of money in the game. The exchange rate can be tough; 1$ = 1300 NAIRA. Paid in Naira and a whole months paycheck can't conveniently buy 5 rebellion cards. So, it's all about doing what I can to achieve my goals while staying sane in the process. ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/queenstarr/23tkfTpmrH2DLaW3dSnEMm7WJtRhmTfuFcVGCdUkwyLFbikhsJjcnrgZkwTqAodtieMvp.png) From the time I started playing Splinterlands till date, hot damn! I have played alot of battles 🤣 That's way over 100hours of gameplay. I try to balance my gameplay by taking breaks, **REALITY CHECKS**, play other games like dCrops, engage in other non-gaming communities, watch a movie, excercise, basically take a 24-48 hrs break and try to sleep. I'm a Gold league player the past 2 years and hopefully soon with better and more collections I'll prolly advance to Diamond and then Champion.

So far collected a full Gold deck deck of Soulbound cards, some Chaos Legion edition, Riftwatchers Edition, and received amazing prizes, packs and cards in tournaments. **`However, on my Splinterlands journey, I've gained more than just cards.`**

The Splinterlands community has been immensely Kind and accommodating. It's not a cliché but when I get to a place, what I long for most is friendships and hopefully family, tbh that before any candies. Splinterlands community especially on [**Twitter has been an amazing place**](https://twitter.com/QueenStarr14/media), all my rants happens there and well sometimes at Pizza community on discord😂. Gained friends turned family from my amazing Guildmates and Blockchain friends. I also got card surprise like on my birthday by @**Walkingkeys**. Wish to list more friends, they will make a whole post and more, beyond assets and profits, the friendships I've formed are the most valuable.

Thanks to Splinterlands and other support Curation team like Bdvoter, I've earned Hive tokens through post creation [basically my whole life on hive is about Splinterlands😂]. This has allowed me to purchase upto 108 Rebellion packs. I'm thrilled about the release; the excitement is real! **#fomo** Eagerly looking forward to 5th December when we can rip open packs and also pull the [**amazing promotion cards**](https://next.splinterlands.com/shop/packs).

## **🔮MY GOALS AND ADVICE TO NEWBIES🔮** 🎯 In the days ahead, I aim to keep building my Asset collections, get ready for the Rebellion new game mechanics and be baddass, keep growing my staked SPS for better rewards, and earn more Hive and HBD from creating contents to fund my gameplay. Ultimately, I hope to enjoy passive income from the profits I generate along the way. There's more but all will unfold in subsequent post as always.

📜 It's important for newbies to note that Splinterlands is not a get-rich-quick scheme [What the present whales saw back then was potential and they invested which took over 2 years of patience to see any significant growth in their wallets]. My advice to Newbies, is to keep practicing patience waiting for Bull, enjoy the game for what it is, and find the fun in it. Only then can we hope to profit. Invest what you can afford to lose knowing how volatile crypto is, make friends along the way, and let your journey in Splinterlands be a meaningful and enjoyable one.

Also keep active and interact with players, being a part of a community is important and these interactions will keep you ALIVE [if you know what I mean]😄 ✅ Amazing players on Twitter 👉 [Splinterlands](https://twitter.com/splinterlands), [Goldmatters](https://twitter.com/Goldmatters_), [Zaku](https://twitter.com/BDVoter), [Canada](https://twitter.com/_Canada804) , [Metaleroz](https://twitter.com/MetalerozCG) , [BunsandBags](https://twitter.com/BagsBuns) etc, Infact if you check my Following, you'll see almost every player worth following for Splinterlands conversations, easy access to their shared post/blogs, Giveaways and updates. ✅ Come join the 👉 [**Splinterlands community**](https://twitter.com/i/communities/1670366142647644162) on twitter and feel free to tag me there for some banter😅 ✅Here is a nice tutorial by a 👉 [**Twitter influencer on Splinterlands by Newbie Ellie.**](https://x.com/EllieInWeb3/status/1707019270591500511?s=20)
