Start of the third Glint season shopping spree and comparison charts in Splinterlands

in Splinterlandslast year

So, this season I managed to reach Champion II with a similar 4220 ranking, but I got 144717 Glint, less than the previous season. Instead of the previous options, not there are only minor, major and ultimate chest, and the individual cards. I do not want titles or other extras, just some merits at the end to get some Gladiator cards. Let's see how can we use them to improve my collection!

I will start with 2 batches of ultimate chests, to see if I got better than the 2 legendary cards. The results?

Error on Hive, but for what I see, I got 1 Epic, 5600 Merits, 7 Energy

Second batch ultimate chests:

26 cards (9 Rare, 4 Common gold, 13 regular Common), 10 Energy, 2700 Merits and some potions. The ultimate chests are not worth the effort.

Lets try some Major chests, to see if I am lucky:

Batch 1 is a joke, no cards, 3600 Merits and some potions.

Batches 2-3-4 and 5 marginaly better, for the price of 1 Legendary, or 5 Epics, this time I got 8 Energy, 31 cards (1 Gold Rare, 3 Gold Common, 27 regular Common) and like 7600 Merits. I will have some cool Gladiators cards at the end, I hope.

Now I try my luck at the Minor chests, with 100 of them, I will just post the best ones from here, as they are 10 print screens:

1 Regular Gold, 27 Common, 6 Rare, 1 Epic, 3 Energy and 3000Merits, so probably this is the best return on 10K Glint, if 1 Epic is 5K Glint.

So, Legendary cards, bought one:

Epics, bought 3:

And with my last Glint, I got common cards, as I still need to get 4 of them to max level.

I managed to get the War Pegasus to max level, gaining Demoralize (decrease -1Melee Attack), so all my Rare reward cards are now max level.

Also, 1 common card, Dumacke Orc, gaining 4 Melee Attack at max level, ideal for Equalizer, so only 2 Common left to get to max level, and all the Epics and Legendaries. So, obviously, this season I will focus on buying only the Epic and Legendary cards.

And finally, the long avaited moment, I managed to buy 17 packs of Gladiator, with the Merits accumulated in the past season. Do I feel lucky?

At a quick glance, 2 Gold Common, 3 Epics (2 of them Quora, so now I got level 3 and Immunity, getting it ready for Poison Ruleset), and the rest Rare and Common, 100 cards in total.

The only thing to calculate is to see how much Glint I get back from the 25 Energy that I gained from the chests.

In conclusion, the best way is to buy individual cards for now, and minor and common chests, to make up for the numbers, along with 3-4 batches of Merits, if you can afford it. 10K and 25K for all the 100 Minor and 25 Major chests are a good source of both Merits and potions, but I find the Ultimate chest not worth the Glint value. At least for my level.

Looks like you were quite lucky even though the majority of your cards collections are not what you were wanting

It's just as exciting to get a reward like this that has special cards in it, and over time we'll see the value of all of these cards increase exponentially.

Some people were able to get some beta packs, really lucky folks. The War Pegasus at max level is really good. I guess we go again in the new season

Good luck!
