Hi everyone !
Yesterday in a previous post I checked [how much I made](how much I made) during one month of playing. One thing seems clear to me, and you should be wary of it if you are a relatively new player in Splinterlands : most of the money you can make on cards will come during the season, not at the end of the season.
For most of us, renting fees at the end of the season are not worth the additionnal chests you can get. In fact, I now understand it is by renting to get at least Silver III that you can have some nice reward surprise : you will win at least two chest by daily quest reward.
The real moment you need to spend money is right now at the start of the season, hence you might be able to win 2*10 to 14 chests during the season, and two or three additionnal chests won't seem important compared to what you've already earned.
You can see below my season reward (yes I did not rent anything) :
I don't even know if it is possible to win less than I did !
Anyway, if you wish to send me anything, my IG name is also
