Planting again
Another dCrops season is under way, and this time around I'm better prepared than ever thanks to the shopping spree I recently went on. All the $HIVE spent on Alpha Seed NFTs was well worth it, as my cards are now worth more than I paid for. Looks like the game is picking up more active users by the day.
The Beta edition NFTs and game mechanisms are almost here, and you can visit the official announcement if you're looking for the known details. Word is in the air that the Beta edition packs will cost $3 per pack and contain 3 Beta edition NFTs. Anyone interested will be able to get their hands on some Beta edition packs by paying with HIVE, SWAP.HIVE, HBD, SWAP.BUSD and CROP tokens.

If you have been looking for a chance to get on board, this is it. Get ready! The game is lit, and this is just the beginning for dCrops. What's probably the most passive #play2earn game on the blockchain is about to expand and transform into something a lot more advanced and complicated. Interesting times for #web3 farmers like me.
Let's get down to business
Season 30 is here, and it's Summer season. Took me a while to produce this report as I've been extra busy playing online poker every day - all day. After my recent Seed NFT acquisitions, this is by far my best season of the game. I'm planting 303 seeds this time around and it's going to be a blast - hands down.
No Mystery Seeds for my crop factory this time, as there's not enough space for even a single Mystery Seed anyway. My farm has reached maximum capacity for all seasons of the game, so if I'm dealt any seed boosters upon completion of my current season quest, I will just try my luck and plant them on day 12, when I will eventually get the pleasure of harvesting my Watermelon crops.
I did use a ton of Speed-Gro on my first six plots of land in order to take advantage of my Legendary and Epic Seeds' special ability to keep producing goodies till season end. I also applied some Ferti-Plus on the same plots for the exact same reason. Fingers crossed!
Here's a close-up view of my CROP factory:
And here’s the full story:
Such wow!
I decided to start the season by planting 1 Legendary, 5 Epic, 45 Rare and 96 Common NFTs. My Wheat Seeds only need 4 days to produce crops, so I will be utilizing the respective plots of land at least three times during the ongoing season. This is why I decided to divide them by three and just plant 60 out of my 180 Wheat NFTs in total at a time.
The same logic applies to my Turnip Seeds, which need 7 days to bear fruit, so I decided to split them in half and go for 36 of those at a time. Also, this time around I learned my lesson and decided not to waste Epic and Rare farmlands for my Watermelon Seeds. It's better to use those plots of land more than once per season considering their unique attributes. You live, you learn.
Oh, by the way I made sure to reroll any sub-quests I didn't like before planting anything, so I only have to work with Seeds and Crops from the current season in order to complete my Season Quest. Always keep that in mind when starting a new season.
Here's the deal:
Summer Season 30 breakdown
This time around I'm planting 1 Legendary, 5 Epic, 45 Rare and 252 Common seeds. By far my best season of the game and I can't wait to harvest and sell everything for shares. Well, everything except 3-star quality crops that is.
Lands:
- 5 Awesome (Epic)
- 46 Fertile (Rare)
- 40 Average (Common)
Seeds (S):
- Blueberry (Legendary): 1
- Tomato (Epic): 5
- Watermelon (Rare): 45
- Wheat (Common): 180
- Turnip (Common): 72
Base selling price (B):
- Blueberry (Legendary): 4
- Tomato (Epic): 7
- Watermelon (Rare): 24
- Wheat (Common): 7
- Turnip (Common): 14
Quantity produced (Q):
- Blueberry (Legendary): 5
- Tomato (Epic): 2
- Watermelon (Rare): 1
- Wheat (Common): 2
- Turnip (Common): 1
Expected share rewards (E) (minimum):
E = Σ[Si x Bi x Qi], n = 5 =>
E = (1x4x5x8) + (5x7x2x5) + (45x24x1) + (180x7x2) + (72x14x1) =>
E = 5,118
Once again, please bear in mind that this is the minimum amount of shares to be earned; I will score more shares if I get lucky and harvest some 2-star and 3-star quality crops.
