For what started as a rather slow season, the past few days of aggressive brawling has put me in a rather decent position. At the time of writing, I'm already up to 70 chests for the season and there are some hours to go until the end of the season.
I don't think I'll be able to do much more than what I've gotten so far though. The competition is stiff and the players at this level are quite competent.
I'll take a break from playing for now since I won't reach another chest anyway. I also need to let my energy capture rate recharge for a while, so I can start the new season strongly.
A big part of my excitement comes from the fact that I got three new shiny legendary summoners into my personal collection. This is enabling me to slowly build a formidable squad for my personal deck.
A different story
I spend more time on my "belemo" SPlinterlands account than my personal deck which is also my wife's account because battling in gold league is a lot easier than battling in bronze league. Alas, I have made some improvements in the quality of my deck in my wife's account but it has been nothing but difficult.
I reckon that ranked battles in bronze league are as hard as they are because we're all at the the same level down under. The only way to stand out is to have some very impressive monsters in your deck and that doesn't still even promise anything.
On top of that, the focus point that I get per ranked battle in Bronze league is very miserable. Right now, I get like 10 ratings point for every battle I win in bronze league and I need 300 points to get ONE chest.
Judging by how I'm getting beat up in Bronze league, it will take me at least two weeks to get one chest in that league. So, instead of wasting my time on what is currently a hopeless cause, I'll just focus on my strengths and that is to continue brawling with my "belemo" account.
Moving back to rentals....again
Since I'm not going to be using my bronze league account sucks at battles, I'll just move all the assets there for rentals. On top of the monsters that are currently in the deck, I also have 13 unopened chests that I'm considering opening.
Long term, flipping packs will prove to be profitable but considering how many packs are still available to mint in the game and in circulation on Hive-engine, I don't think I'll be flipping them any time soon.
I also have over 300 packs that I'm holding in my main account and I get packs regularly from my daily focus quests.
This is why I'll just open the 13 chests in my wife's account, level up all the monsters in that collection and then put them all for rent. This way, I could be generating some income now and in a few months/years, when chaos legion packs are sold out, I will flip the 300+ packs I hold in my "belemo" account.
In summary
Managing two Splinterlands accounts is quite the chore and you need a well defined strategy to win with both. Right now, I can't use both my accounts for ranked battles, so I'll just turn one into an NFT rental business and play ranked battles with the other.
It is also very difficult to play ranked battles with two different accounts when there are differing quality of monsters in both of them. One account will always be your favourite and if like me, you earn a very miserable rating point per battle in one of them, you're better off just quitting ranked battles in the miserable account and focusing on your strength.

Ah, the tried and true method of pen and paper. Nothing beats it. =)
Just out of curiosity. Is it worth running more than one account? Is there a drop-off in playtime vs earnings? I would assume you would be earning more if you play more.
Or is it the energy mechanics that limit you? Or just having two accounts (one being your wife) is an overall benefit?
It was an interesting read. Thank you for posting and sharing =)

I used to run 3 accounts but it became too tiresome. This was back when even novice earned a little bit of DEC. Pre CL and during the bull run it was a little worth it but still took a lot of time. I slowly started renting and eventually rented everything extra and dont use the other accounts anymore
Ah, got you. Thank you so much for explaining it to me. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. =)
Honestly, it is difficult to run multiple accounts The only reason I'm doing this is because my account"belemo"(this one) has monsters from a project that I'm working with. So I just move all the proceeds to an alt account(my wife's) that is in bronze league. Playing SPlinterlands with the bronze league is not beneficial in the least bit. it is absolutely horrible and the reards are not worth the effort I put into it.
Ah, ok. So the project you're working on sort of forces you to at least temporarily use an alt.
I hope you can go back to your main account soon. =)
You sound experienced with playing the splinterlands. I'm sure you will win more when your two accounts gets working for you. Keep winning brother
Hey, at least you are getting up to 10 Points in your bronze account. I get between 0, 2, 6, and sometimes a little more. For the first chest, I need to win between 60 and 80 battles (thanks to all these new penalties, which they applied 3 Weeks after I joined as a new Player). This season I managed to get whopping 8 chests, for which I have wasted far too much time. (To win these matches I have to play double or triple as many games.)
We don't even want to talk about the daily focus quests: 4 Chests in round about 6 weeks which contained even more crap or potions that I won't use, because I don't think I'll buy new chests...
I am also considering whether I should not just rent the cards (40+) and stop wasting my time. Sadly most of them are average crap since the 10 chests I bought when I started contained only one legendary and three epic cards.
Sure: I could invest more money and buy or rent all the starter cards to avoid the penalties, but I strongly doubt that this will significantly improve the gaming experience.
In any case, I wish you much fun with the gold account. 😉
I'm just going to quit playing the bronze account and move it all to rentals. It is too much stress for too little reward
Sounds reasonable. I will probably do the same. 😉
Have been having a hard time winning lately. So many variables, and a lot of all level 1 CL teams are destroying my best alpha/untamed on bronze I. I took a breather this season but I need to figure out a better strategy lol
Level 1 bronze brawlers are on steroids down there. They don't fuck around
I noticed that LOL
I only have to manage one for rentals and it's still a hustle, having two would literally kill me lol
Gl with your strategy. I'm actually keeping it simple. Stack cards while they are cheap and keep buying packs below $2 whenever you can.
I do agree that the supply is insane and a lot larger than what we have seen so far but I still think they will go up in value once the sale has ended and card prices start going up.

It has not been easy, I tell you this lol. It will take at least a year before packs are sold out in the game and scarcity starts pumping the price

nice post!
There is a lot of good services right now out there to manage even more accounts. Splex.GG is a good tool, especially if you want all the liquid tokens to be moved to one account with only a few clicks. I have one account that is solely used for renting purposes. I have 2 others to play with. I envy your 300 packs. I had a few more than those but I just ripped them all open. I might need to begin accumulating a few more packs for later use.
