We made it once again! The best time of the season’s cycle has come the End of the Season Rewards. In this article I will talk about my season and my rewards. Jus a quick heads-up: This time my rewards were amazing and I don’t think that anybody can top these. Like the last time, I managed to finish in Bronze 1 again. After the talk about my season I will talk a little bit about the current price of SPS and what my approach will be for the next few weeks. With this out of the way, lets jump straight into my Season.
EOS Rewards & Thoughts of this Season
My season started off very slow. Because of the holiday season I was not able to play that much but still managed to finish the daily quest every now and then. My rewards were limited to mainly Credits and a few potions here and there. This was the reason why I did not have much hope for my end of the season rewards, but boy was I wrong! I also managed to make a list of cards that I am looking to pick up during the general sale but more on this in the next section.
Like I said, I did not have a lot of luck for my last rewards and during the season, so I was very pessimistic about the rewards. When I opened them I could not hold back a small shout! It started off with a reward card which I was happy about. After that I got a legendary potion and I was thinking that this is the start of the potions again. But then I got it! The next chest was a rare Venari Bonesmith and I had to look twice to realize: It was golden! I was the happiest person on earth in this moment and I could not believe what I saw. I felt like I made it, like I own the world but stepping back a bit it was just 500CP :D.
Nevertheless, I continued to open the chests and at this point I could not care less what else I could get because I felt like I got the jackpot. The next two chests were potions again, which was pretty clear to me. Because I tend to open the chest clockwise my next two chest were again nothing special, just 9 credits and a potion again. At this point I could not wait to check how much my golden card was worth. The next chest was an extra surprise, I got another reward card which made me happy again but what comes next just explodes my mind. I open up the last chest and see another reward card, but this time it is golden AGAIN! I could not believe my eyes, I know that it is just a common golden Pelacor Mercenary but TWO GOLD CARDS IN BRONZE 1? Amazing!
Future of SPS and General Sale
I am honestly afraid that I spent all of my new years luck in this end of the season rewards and the rest of the year will just be miserable but I hope this luck streak will continue. I guess the next time we can find out is the General Sale which will start tomorrow on the 17th of January. I am very excited for this one as I am planning to buy and open up some packs, so stay tuned for the opening. There are a lot of people who are wondering how long this general sale will last. Some say it will be over within 24 hours, some other are saying that it will last for months. Regardless, I wanted to point out that there is a pole in the Splinterlands discord where everybody can participate. This pole requires you to guess the amount of packs that will be sold within the first 24 hours and if you are the closest you will get rewarded with packs so give it a shot! In my opinion the truth will be something between the two extremes. I can not see the whole pack collection being sold out within hours but I also can not see this sale going on for months. I personally recommend to be quick on the packs on the first day, just in case I am wrong but I do believe people will have time at least a few weeks.
Speaking of the current situation, makes me also want to talk about the SPS token. I read a lot of pessimistic opinions in the discord server and they all had some calid points. But instead of getting this negative feeling I felt like the Fear-Greed Index for SPS is at an all time low. This normally means that it is time to buy. On this regard, I do have a few things to say. First, if you believe in the project this bad times should not worry you. We all know that the crypto market as a whole is doing poorly and that every project is influenced by that. Furthermore, we know that the SPS token lacked some utility in the past, but the main reason for that is probably because the development team was very busy to bring us Chaos Legion. With that being said, there was an article posted recently that described the future use cases of the SPS token which was very interesting to read and also very informative! In my opinion, once the general sale is over, people will realize that SPS is the future of the game. With a growing player base in general and the upcoming stop of the airdrops I do think that SPS will have a bright future once it gets more utility. Regarding the card prices I think that, once the general sale will stop, the card prices will slowly rise until the point when the SPS airdrop will be over. Once this happens the card prices will slowly decrease again because the additional CP that a lot of people are staking will not be as much worth as it is right now.
Conclusion
With that being said, I hope you enjoyed my End of the Season rewards as much as I enjoyed them! I hope you guys had as much luck as I did and I really hope that this luck will continue throughout the general sale. Furthermore, I wanted to ask you guys whether you agree with my SPS prediction? I think this will be a very crucial part of Splinterlands in the future.
