Month 1 - Account Progression (Tens to Thousands)

in #splinterlands3 years ago

Intro

What a month it has been since I created my account!

A large amount of network issues/ scaling server fixes, the market never ending its movement upwards and a massive constant influx of new spellbook purchases!

Originally I had planned to track everything meticulously separate but this is something anyone can find for any account using some of the third party sites we have.

So to start with what have I put in and what is my account valued at now?

Account Value

Fiat In : $22.5

Account Collection Value : $1,055.42
Hive Value : $31

Purchases Made:
Spellbook
11x Quest Potions
11x Quest Potions
11x Quest Potions (Converted DEC so no $ cost)

How did it happen?

In the first week I got lucky with a couple of 2000 DEC drops in the quest chests.

With the starting DEC I tried to grab any cheaper reward cards on the market and sell for any kind of profit - even 5 cents added up when you DEC value is so low.

This started snowballing into looking out for $1 or $2 profit flips and led to where we are today.
Now I focus less on being a fast flip low profit and opt to try and look out for reward card sales at season end or larger value discounted cards that take a lot longer to sell but give a larger % profit.

Takeaways

Even as a new starter account that no longer has access to the high value quest potion bundle, the Bronze battle win DEC will start to add up to enough to afford even 1 common reward card.

I think even that minor profit of a few cents means even more when you can't print 6 reward chests per daily quest and you may take a while longer to get the ball rolling but it is easily still possible!

Any players explorers can be checked at any time so there are no flipping secrets - feel free to stalk people all you like for ideas on cards that are actively traded if you have little to no knowledge of the game yet 😆
