So I just ended my first week of Gameplay in Splinterlands and I'm slowly learning. But I mean really slowly. It's going to take me a while to not only learn the ins and outs of the game but just the ins.
I was feeling pretty proud of myself for winning my daily quests. It probably takes me longer than most folks, even newbs, but through an awful lot of losing I eventually win. And while it feels great, it's awfully disappointing when you open your chest and it's a single low-end prize.
I had read in passing about Quest Potions and how they add additional chests to your daily quests and I figure why not. I'm determined to do my quests every day so why not buy the promo and get 11 for the price of 10. I paid with credits which I bought with PayPal for $7.50 so I'm actually investing real money into the game.
I figure I'll do my part, which means pay to play instead of just play to earn. I'm not sure if this spend was the best strategy but my mindset right now is to just play. I'm not worried about maximizing my earnings but staying interested in the game. And, while I'm currently entitled to only 1 chest from a quest, getting 5 seems like the best way to have fun at the moment.
So here is what I got from my first Quest potion. I would love to hear from the OG's what is the best use of $7.50 to maximize profit over time. Perhaps buying a $7.50 card, DEC or SPS? Learning about this stuff is part of my fun so lay it on me.
