In one of my journeys, wandering in the darkest corners of the internet, i found this fun game, and after enjoying it for a week of two, i realized that there is even a way to make decent profit out of it. And, boy, there are so many ways to make a profit out of this intriguing game (Dcity).
Seems complicated, but it is not really. Anyway, in order to play the game, you need to use HIVE token, and one of his advantages is that anyone, with no matter what amount of money, can make it profitable. Even a small city can bring huge returns, safely, especially if you are lucky.
I will try to show you few of the ways in which you can benefit out of DCity.
1. Hive token mining and HODL. In at least three ways, first one, for the best 400 cities, as you can see in here, are paid 1% of the total rewards (today the reward pool was $23275) and it is not that hard to reach top 400 as the game is still at the beginning. This reward is paid daily in Hive tokens.
Second way to be rewarded in Hive is to keep the SIM tokens paid daily by the game in your account, according to your average last 30 days SIM token holdings. This is the Holding income.
And the third way is, once you set up your city, to exchange all your received SIM in HIVE, and get your investment back. Of course, the game is incentivizing you to keep them on the platform, for more rewards, but do not be greedy, as you need to pay yourself also. I recommend at least one week per month to get all the rewards and exchanged in HIVE, and send them to your exchange where you can sell them.
2. ENTRY token farming and further use of it for selected Splinterlands tournaments. You can use the Stadium building card and the Gamer and Pro Gamer citizen cards to receive entry.
There is also a way to receive Gamer cards, and despite the 2% chance, the only time i did an event, i received an AZMARE DICE card pack (you can use that in Splinterlands game to receive NFT cards or you can sell it). The 500 DEC tokens needed for this event are the tokens you receive from victories in Splinterlands. There are also other events using different coins with different bonuses.
3. BEER token farming and its dual use. The BEER token can be used to start the BEERFEST event, where you will receive Workers and Hard Workers citizen cards, but can be also sold for Hive on HiveEngine. The NFT citizen cards can be also sold on the market for extra profit.
In order to receive BEER tokens, you need to buy Brewery cards, but you can also use the Fully Automated Brewery technology card to double your BEER production.
At the moment i use all my Breweries to mine BEER for events. but then the token is also valued at $0.045 today, and can be sold monthly
4. WEED token farming to create events or just to sell it on exchange. The event is the following:
The artist NFT card can be used to farm backgrounds NFT due to their Creativity skill, or can be sold for extra profit. And the NFT cards used for mining this token are:
5. NFT farming using a 25% research bonus city. This is not very expensive, and can be quite lucrative if you are lucky enough to mine some rare cards, but any card you mine is valuable and can be sold. There are four basic attributes and 2 additional attributes, but for this city we will focus on Education.
Population: The number of people that live in your city
Income: How much SIM you’re earning each day
Popularity: Gives % bonus to Population. Math: (Popularity^0.7)*100
Workers: To receive income from buildings, you need to have enough people (Population) to work there
Additional attributes:
Education: the base for discovering technologies; 40 education = 1% chance to discover technology daily, with a max cap at 25%
Creativity: the base for finding a background; 80 creativity = 1% chance to find a background with a max cap at 25% This is what you want, to reach the maximum cap of 25%.
There are 3 NFT cards providing Education, which can be used for NFT mining.
Whatever cards you are mining, you sell for profit. So, in order to reach a 25% you buy any of these 3 cards is cheaper (Price divided by Education provided and whichever is cheaper you buy it). You also need to have workers, so you check you population and buy Luxury homes, Basic Homes and/or Parks (using the same price average Price divided by population provided). But i tend to be biased towards Luxury Home, as they provide some nice daily income, and again, you can sell the daily SIM paid by it for Hive.
Now the complicated stuff (read it carefully when needed).
In order to access the game you need a bit of technical expertise. First, you need a Hive account. The easiest and fastest way to make a wallet is Hiveonboard. Once you have the Hive wallet, you will need Hive Keychain extension for Brave or Chrome. Once you log in with your private posting key on Keychain, you are done. Just write Dcity.io in your browser and you are in the game. Do not let this discourage you and keep you away from making a nice profit.
Now you send the Hive from exchange to your wallet in order to buy your building and technology NFT cards. I bought them Hives from Binance. You can send your HIVE tokens to your game @username, and then change them into swap.Hive using the exchange. To do this you click on game MARKET:
After that you may click on TRADE BEER button, and your HIVE ENGINE will open. Once open, click on wallet button and then deposit brown button.
Once you clicked on deposit you will see this window open:
Click on GET DEPOSIT INFO now and you will see this:
Not this is the last bit. You write how many hive you want to deposit and once you click DEPOSIT HIVE the exchange will give you swap.HIVE, and you can use that to buy NFT cards in the Dcity game. But, do not forget, first you need to send your HIVE from exchange to your @username on hive wallet if you do not have the HIVE already.
If you have any difficulties ask me about, and i will help if i can. I am planning to start some articles about HIVE ecosystem soon, maybe in January. I am still testing at the moment. Until now Splinterlands and DCity are quite profitable blockchain games, and this is a nice feeling, after most of the previously tested ones were hardly making up to 10$ per month.
Good luck!
Yours truly,
George
