🧪 How to Use Potions Smartly in Daily Quests – Boost DEC, XP, & Card Drops Like a Pro! 💰✨
What’s up, Splinterlands fam! 👋 it's me
If you’re new to the game and grinding through Daily Quests, listen up — because I’ve got something that can seriously level up your rewards without spending a ton: POTIONS.
Yup, those little bottles you see in the shop? They’re not just shiny stuff. If used smartly, potions can multiply your DEC, XP, and even card drop chances by 15–30% or more. Let me show you exactly how I use them — step-by-step — to maximize rewards with minimal investment.
🧪 Step 1: Understand the Potion Types
There are three key potions most useful for new players grinding daily quests:
●Alchemy Potion – Boosts your card drop rate when opening chests (especially from Daily Quests).
●Legendary Potion – Increases the chance of pulling Legendary cards from chests or packs.
●Power Core (XP Boost) – Gives you +15% bonus XP from wins.
●Essence Orbs (DEC Boost) – Adds a +15% bonus DEC when you win battles (stackable with XP potions).
🧠 Pro Tip: You can stack XP + DEC potions for maximum return. I do this every time I know I’ll complete a quest
🛍️ Step 2: Buy Only What You Need
Potions can be bought from:
Shop → Potions → Foundation Market
GLINT Store (if you’re staking Glint from battles or Land)
Using SPS or DEC
Start with small quantities, like:
5 Alchemy
5 XP Boosters
5 DEC Boosters
That’s enough for 1–2 Daily Quests and won’t drain your wallet.
🗓️ Step 3: Use Them Only on Daily Quest Days
I don’t waste potions daily. I use them only when:
I’m completing a Daily Quest
I have a win streak
I’m pushing for high chest rewards (Silver or above)
Activate them right before you start battling so they don’t go to waste.
⚠️ Warning: Potions are consumed per win, so if you lose, they’re not used — smart saving tip!
📈 Step 4: Watch the Boosted Rewards Come In
After 5–6 wins with potions active, here’s what I usually get:
15–30% more DEC
Faster level-ups thanks to bonus XP
Better card pulls from Daily Chests
Sometimes extra Glint or vouchers too!
It seriously adds up over time — especially if you’re on a tight SPS or DEC budget.
I sort my deck by splinter, then pick my highest-health tank and add 2–3 ranged attackers.
🧰step -5: Complete the Quest Efficiently
Focus on Frontier Mode for zero rental fees.
If your quest is “Win 5 with Earth Splinter,” switch to Water/Fire only when stuck.
Use replay on close wins to save time.
🎁step 6: Collect Your Enhanced Rewards
Once you finish, go to Rewards to see your boosted loot—DEC, XP, sometimes extra cards!
🎉 Final Tips
Stack Potions if you’re chasing gold foils on weekend events.
Save premium potions for higher leagues → bigger base rewards.
Track your gains for a week; you’ll quickly see why this pays off.
