Another season is about to end and it's a season I didn't play a lot, lately I have a lot of other things that require my time and unfortunately Splinterlands, and PC time in general is the victim of this. Maybe this changes again soon, or not... we'll just have to see! 😅
Nozem, Silver level Modern deck.
Something has definitely changed, for the last three seasons in a row I was able to push in to Diamond League, and although I played a lot less battles than I usually do, this season my win rate is much higher than it's been in years, usually it's somewhere between 49 and 52%, last season it was slightly above 52% but this time it's 58%!
I had a good run today to end it, and currently I'm at place 100 on the leaderboard. I don't think I'll have the time this afternoon to check back on this because I'm busy painting the second floor of my house...
Last season I played 304 battles, this time only 123.
When I was getting the screenshot in game for my Glint, I noticed I'm now on place 99 so that means someone above me has lost one or more battles.
So this season, I made barely enough for one legendary draw... 😅
SPS Stake
My SPS Stake on this account went from 59,715 to 60,276 - an increase of 561 for brawls and ranked play on this account only, so that's not even that bad considering my lack of time.
At current value this account earned $2.35 in SPS.
Survival Mode
Now the SPS rewards for Survival has been paused, and Archmage requires payment per battle this account is not playing survival at the moment.
Nozem01, XBot account.
So, when you've missed it, the billing system for XBot is about the change so when you're using XBot yourself, go check out their Discord channel.
Last season, the bot was able to push into Champion 3 but this way it's not making any leaderboard rewards, this season the higher it got it Diamond 1, and although I was time crunched for the last weeks, my bot accounts are just grinding on.
XBot played 9 battles less than last season, but that all depends on the time I'm making my post. The win rate has gone up a bit from 47.14% to 48.88%
Glint rewards are pretty consistent, 218k last season vs. 214k this season.
SPS Stake
The price of SPS is still around all time lows, so it's a good moment to get more of it if you believe in the future of Splinterlands. When you look around in Web3, there are games dying almost every day but Splinterlands just keeps going so I will keep building.
With my blogging earnings I have bought 2545 more SPS this season and my total stake is now 172,724 vs. 169,265 last season - an increase of 3,459 of which 914 SPS is earned through ranked play, brawls and the brawl rewards from my alt accounts. At current price, this account earned $3.83 this season.
Survival Mode
The bot is currently back in Bronze 1 after getting up to Silver 2.
The reward points are significantly less than last season with 593k vs. 883k last season.
At this point, Survival is still free on XBot but when I have to pay for it, I don't think it's worth it to continue playing for not even 10k glint per season.
Archmage Gold account Ne9eN
Because of it's poor performance, this account is now in the Silver League leaderboard, and it's on place 12 at the moment for a nice glint reward.
The win rate has gone up quite a lot with 50.14% compared to 46.72% last season.
Glint rewards are consistent with 92k last season vs. 88k this time.
SPS Stake
This account doesn't earn a lot of SPS but still, I'm happy with every shard. 🙂
My SPS Stake went up from 3,929 to 4,043 - an increase of 114 SPS which is pretty consistent as well, at current price it's a profit of $0.47
Survival Mode
Now the SPS rewards for Survival has been paused, and Archmage requires payment per battle this account is not playing survival at the moment.
Expenses
The price of DEC has tanked since last season! About 20% lower...
Wild Pass: 2000 DEC at current DEC price @0.000429 = $0.85
SPS Earnings: $0.47
The bot costed me $0.38 to run this season, which I am OK with since it's earning Glint so it can keep the reward cards at a competitive level and the price of SPS will not always be this low.
I have a new project, the Splat trading bot!
I started trying out the Splat trading service, for more information I have made a post about this with my first findings.
In total I have transferred about 22k DEC to ne9en I have setup for this bot and until now it has bought 169 cards of which it sold 127 cards again, this is all fully automated with the configuration you can setup yourself on the website, which is pretty easy to understand.
The average profit across all trades is now consistent at 44% after making some adjustments in the config and the total profit is now up to $5.04, so it 'only' made 62 cents since my last report.
The funny thing is, I activated the bot for my daughter's account as well with just under $5 in HBD that was doing nothing in her account, and it's performing better than my own account with a more defensive config!
I think I swapped $4.60 in DEC to start it, and it's already up to $3.94 in profit!
