About a day to the season end for Ranked Play at Splinterlands, and it is time for me to see what's my progress toward completing the Rebellion SB set. I decided not to wait any longer since tomorrow I have my Hive goals post, so I can't write this update because I only publish one post per day.
Since the update is one day earlier, I expect the numbers to reflect that, and that next season's numbers to be higher for the same reason, because they'll include the extra day from this report.
I haven't reached CL2 yet but there is still a chance (kind of small) until the end of the season.
What I accomplished during this season, however, was to max out my first Rebellion SB legendary card, Syrenth, and switch focus to epics afterwards.
I purchased 4 legendary draws this time around and all 25 epic draws. With the remaining Glint, I purchased 4 common draws, depleting my Glint stash.
That makes it easy to see how much Glint I earned this season (including the season rewards from last season). That makes it a total of 328,100 Glint used for draw purchases this season. Last season I had a total of 341,850 Glint in purchases. That means I earned 13,750 less Glint this season. Remember! That's about 26 hours before the end of this season when I'm writing this post...
Let's keep a table too, going forward:
| Season since New SB Set | Glint Used to Purchase Draws | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Season 5 | 363,200 | |
| Season 6 | 344,400 | -18,800 Glint |
| Season 7 | 352,700 | +8,300 Glint |
| Season 8 | 341,850 | -10,850 Glint |
| Season 9 (current) | 328,100 | -13,750 Glint |
| Last 3 seasons' average | 340,883 |
Let's see what my current situation of the Rebellion SB set completion progress is so far:
| Season since New SB Set | Commons % | Rares % | Epics % | Legendaries % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 1 / 0 | 2 / 0 | 8 / 0 | 9 / 0 |
| Season 2 | 2 / 1 | 2 / 0 | 9 / 0 | 17 / 0 |
| Season 3 | 3 / 1 | 2 / 0 | 10 / 0 | 23 / 0 |
| Season 4 | 5 / 2 | 3 / 1 | 12 / 0 | 27 / 0 |
| Season 5 | 7 / 2 | 4 / 2 | 13 / 0 | 36 / 0 |
| Season 6 | 8 / 3 | 5 / 2 | 15 / 0 | 42 / 0 |
| Season 7 | 9 / 3 | 6 / 2 | 15 / 0 | 51 / 0 |
| Season 8 | 10 / 3 | 7 / 2 | 17 / 0 | 58 / 0 |
| Season 9 (current) | 10 / 3 | 7 / 2 | 24 / 1 | 61 / 0 |
That's +3% to the progress of legendary cards (and stopped, for now), +7% progress to epic cards (and +1% to epic GF). No progress to common and rare cards in percentage terms, but I expect to have progress starting next season.
I reached my first maxed out Rebellion SB legendary card, so I switched focus to epic cards during the season, so I will include both snapshots for legendary cards and epic cards in this update.
Here are the "before and after" snapshots for the Rebellion SB legendary cards. "Before" first:
7 at level 3, 4 at level 2 and 1 at level 1
And now the "after":
My Rebellion legendary SB reward cards: 1 at level 4, 7 at level 3, 3 at level 2 and 1 at level 1.
One card was leveled up to level 4 and one to level 3, which is pretty lucky from only 4 pulls.
And now the current levels of the epic cards...
My Rebellion SB epic cards: 5 at level 3, 3 at level 2.
Next season I won't buy any more legendary draws, so I will have a lot more excess Glint to buy into the rare and maybe the common draws. Once I'll have at least 1 maxed card on all rarities, I'll re-introduce legendary draw purchases.
Perhaps a more relevant metric is the amount of Glint already spent compared to the total amount needed to max out the SB set (only regulars).
Here' s my situation:
Glint needed for a fully upgraded regular Rebellion SB set, w/o doubles:
8,790,000 Glint
Glint value of the cards collected so far (ignore GF and doubles):
3,536,800 Glint
Progress percentage:
40.24%
Estimated^ time to max out the RF cards (or GF, where possible):
15 more seasons (7.5 months, i.e. mid-July)
^) estimation now includes tier advancement rewards (average last 3 seasons)
Last season's Glint value of cards collected: 3,207,950.
Difference: 328,850 Glint-worth of cards this season, including tier advancement rewards.
| Season since New SB Set | Glint-Worth of Cards (including Tier Advancement Rewards) | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Season 7 | 414,550 | - |
| Season 8 | 368,400 | -46,150 Glint |
| Season 9 (current) | 328,850 | -39,550 Glint |
| Last 3 seasons' average | 370,600 |
