Hello, Splinterlands warriors!
Every season’s end in Splinterlands always feels the same: a mix of nervousness, high hopes, and a bit of gambling. My routine never changes—I push my rank as much as possible until I run out of stamina (and patience), then collect as much Glint as I can to exchange at Gwen’s Glint Shop. Last season, I closed out my journey in Diamond III, stayed stable, and brought home 32,501 Glint. Combined with leftover Glint from the previous season, it was enough to shop to my heart’s content.
As usual, every season’s end tempts me to exchange Glint for Major Chests. I stick to the classic reasoning: the chance to earn merits, extra potions for the next season, and, of course, the slim hope of pulling a legendary card. So, I converted my Glint into 40 Major Chests—a way to "save up" some luck.
You can see the contents of the chests at this link:
Honestly, the results weren’t bad. I got the usual potions and Chaos Energy we all expect. But the moment that made me grin from ear to ear was when two Epic THANALORIAN BLADE cards popped up. It felt like a small surprise amid the ordinary loot. Plus, there was a Gold Foil LUCEHEIM DEMON. Not bad—it went straight into my Gold Foil collection to boost my power.
One thing I’d been waiting for finally happened: enough merits to open a Gladius pack. For me, this is like a hidden bonus. After collecting them, I exchanged them immediately.
To see the full list of cards I obtained, you can check the link below:
Surprisingly, some of the gladiator cards I got are pretty interesting to explore in guild brawls.
But the most exciting part of this process isn’t just the cards. I realized that in Splinterlands, end-of-season strategy can be key for anyone, especially new players, to maintain steady progress. Many players focus too much on climbing ranks or winning battles but forget to manage their Glint or time their chest claims. Yet, carefully managing Glint and focusing on Major Chests can be one of the most effective ways to expand your collection while earning extra perks like merits or rare cards.
So, that’s my short end-of-season story. How about yours? Any exciting surprises this season?
See you on the next battlefield, Splinterlands warriors!
