Buying some cards in order to play more on dCrops
I started playing dCrops about 3 months ago (Watching Grain Grow Gaming. As I mentioned in my first article, it is a waiting game. And, if you don't have crops to grow in each season, it is a longer waiting game.
I decided that I would spend a little Hive on purchasing some more cards so that I could play "year round" on dCrops. My plan is to plant at least one set of crops each season, which will help increase my rewards. I didn't get anyone to click on my affiliate link (dCrops start Affiliate Program) during their promotion, so that didn't earn me anything.
To be honest, I don't follow the game discord very closely, so I don't know if anyone is giving away things. I do know that it seems like three players have almost all the items for sale in the market. So, spreading the wealth around when buying items is a little hard, unless you want to pay more, which I don't want to.
I had a few CROP token, but apparently the market uses the ones in Hive-Engine and not stored in the game. I have some stored in the game in order to earn Hive (which I don't know if I have actually earned any yet). So, because of that, I ended up using Hive.Swap to purchase items. Nothing that I bought was more than 0.3 Hive.Swap per card. Being that Hive has been going up the last few days, it probably wasn't the best time to buy them using Hive.Swap. I probably should have compared the Crop / Hive.Swap price, but....too much work.
I ended up purchasing 1 more Average Farmland to bring my total to 3. This basically maximizes the amount of crops I can grow and was a good limit based on my available Hive.Swap. Since I did have a few seed cards, it was just a matter of buying enough to have 3 for each season.
Spring was only lacking 1 card, so I purchased another Kale, because it was cheap. The Kale takes 6 days and returns 7 shares and the Cauliflower takes 10 days and returns 24 shares. I could possibly buy 2 more Kale, so I can plant a second round in the first two garden plots. If I got a Broccoli, it could be planted after the Cauliflower to maximize that garden plot.
I had no Summer seeds, so I purchased two Wheat and one Turnip. The Wheat takes 4 days and returns 7 shares. The Turnip takes 7 days and returns 14 shares. To maximize the Summer plots, I would need to purchase 4 more Wheat and 1 more Turnip.
I had three Fall seeds to start with, so I didn't purchase anymore for that season. The Garlic takes 7 days and returns 7 shares. The Carrot takes 7 days and returns 14 shares. The Pumpkin takes 14 days and returns 24 shares. I could purchase another couple of Carrot cards to maximize the two plots, but there isn't anything cheap to buy to maximize the Pumpkin plot.
I had the Onion seed for Winter. The Onion takes 7 days and returns 10 shares. The Peas take 4 days and return 3 shares. The Radish takes 7 days and returns 13 shares. To maximize the plots, I would need to purchase 2 more Peas and 2 more Radish.
What I didn't include above is the crop output. Some seeds produce one crop, while others produce multiple crops. Also, the crop can be of differently quality, with higher quality returning more shares.
Summer ends in 11 days. I will attempt to keep track of what I earn for each season and for an entire 4 season "year". It cost 2000 CROP to purchase 1 pack of 5 cards. As of this post, 0.00287 CROP per Hive.Swap or 5.74 Hive.Swap per pack of cards. There are over 16000 packs left, so I hope that I will earn enough CROP to purchase a few packs before they slowly sell out.
Currently I am ranked #578. I only need 7 shares to be in the Top 100. 60 shares to be in the Top 50. 130 shares to be in the Top 25. I can earn 137 shares per season. Since only 1 season has gone by, that doesn't mean I can jump into the top spots quickly. But, knowing how much I can earn verses others will be helpful to know. After Summer, I should have around 28 shares, so at a minimum, I hope to be in the Top 100. Which currently would give me around 200 crop. In 10 "years" (4 months) I would have enough to purchase a pack.
Hopefully it won't be that long of a wait.
Let the positive energy sing!
More Power to the Minnows!!
