Once you reach level 15, the Ego meter appears. If you have more Fans than Skill your ego percentage will start to rise. Missions also increase your ego. The Starbits you earn per missions is reduced when you ego starts to rise so it is very important to keep your ego under control. Music Lessons help balance Fans with Skill.

Well after season end, I was reset back to Bronze II from Silver III. Last season it took me till the 5th daily quest to get back to Silver III. I did better this time. I only stayed in the Bronze level receiving 1 loot chest per Daily quest for two days. I am now back up to Silver III where I receive 2 loot chest per Daily. My last three Daily rewards were: Credits, Pelacor Deceiver, Pelacor Bandit and 7 DEC. #Splinterlands
The Spring season is in full swing. I just harvested my Broccoli and was surprised when one of them was two stars so I get double the shares. That should help a little in the season end reward pool. https://peakd.com/ctp/@darmst5339/dcrops-spring-harvest-but-still-over-7-days-in-season #DCrops
With the front that came through last night, it rained all day today. We have this small twirling wind ornament that looks very cool when the wind is blowing. I took a few pictures of it so that you could try to get a feeling for what it looks like moving but it is really not the same vs seeing it in action. https://peakd.com/ctp/@darmst5339/iaac-day-154-whirling-wind-ornament-and-clouds-all-day #Iamalivechallenge
I am now the proud owner of one of the pre-sale Chaos Legion Card Packs. Yes, I have only bought one pack so far because I want to have a chance, even thought is is only a 2% chance, for the Exclusive AirDrop limited Promo card. This Promo card would be a great investment so I needed to be a part of the drawing because I know I will probably not be able to afford it when the card is placed on the market after pre-sale is over. The cost of getting 1 pre-sale pack with the…
This time the daily quest took me over a day to complete. It was the life quest. Most of the time when I used the Life Splinter I would be up against a summoner with three additional abilities with no way for me to win. But I finally got lucky and won 5 matches. My loot chest contained a Gargoya Lion and a Pelacor Deceiver #Splinterlands
I finish this Snipe quest with 25 minutes to go before reset. Just in time for another daily to show up. I received a Legendary potion and the Twilight Basilick #Splinterlands
With the fall season and the cooling weather, also comes the fog from the river/lake. This morning when I got up in the early morning dawn, there was a fog rising from the river. It was also in the valley and foothills on the other side of the river. It was a loving sight to see and very different from the sunset pictures that I have been sharing but it is the same landscape. Enjoy. https://ctptalk.com/@darmst5339/iaac-day-157-dawn-s-early-light-and-fog #Iamalivechallenge
Today's quest was a Neutral Quest. Don't let the name fool you. In these quests, you can not use any neutral cards. For some reason, now that I am in the Silver League it is taking me longer to complete my quests. This one was quicker than yesterday's but still took most of the day. Upon opening the loot chests, I received a Pelacor Mercenary and a Legendary potion #Splinterlands
Today's quest was a Snipe quest. I was able to finish it up in about half a day playing off and on. I received a Pelacor Deciever and 6 DEC for my efforts. #Splinterlands
I had forgotten it was Sunday and went down the hill to get the mail. When I got to the mailboxes and there was no mail, I was surprised. Then I remembered what day of the week it was. When you are retired, it is easy to lose track of the day of the week and also what calendar day it actually is. I keep a calendar next to the computer so that I can see what day it is when writing this daily IAAC post otherwise I would have no need to know what day it was. Oh, the things that…
No clouds in the sky but the sunset was still pretty. The photos show what looks like a beam coming from the sun. I know it is just the way the camera is angled but I thought it looked great in the photos. #Sunset
The daily quest for today was the Sneak quest. I like it more than others because you can use it with any of the splinters so you have more opportunities for getting your 5 wins. After I got my wins, I opened my loot chests and received 5 DEC and an Alchemy potion. #Splinterlands
Python For Beginners by Timothy C. Needham was a book that I had downloaded several months ago but never got around to reading. That was about the time I started on the Hive Blockchain so all my focus has been on growing my account up until now. So I start a new part of my Journey. Wish me luck. https://ctptalk.com/@darmst5339/iaac-day-159-python-the-programming-language-not-the-snake #Iamalivechallenge
Today there were clouds in the sky when the sun set. Clouds add an additional dimension to the photos. The third picture was taken about 30 minutes after the first two. #Sunset
The Sneak was my daily quest. I kept using the Snipe instead of the sneak so it took me a little longer that it should have. when I finished I received the Pelacor Mercenary and 1 DEC. #Splinterlands
I have not had a water quest in a very long time. I used to get them all the time. I would split the matches when I would play water - Win one, Lose one. But I finally finished all 5 wins. I was lucky and received two cards in the loot chests: a Pelacor Deceiver and Pelacor Bandit. #Splinterlands
I always have a Dream Catcher around the house. Call me superstitious or something. I like to focus on my good dreams and toss out the bad ones. The description is in the third attached photo. https://ctptalk.com/@darmst5339/iaac-day-160-a-catcher-of-your-dreams #Iamalivechallenge
the summer season just started so I planted the seed that I had on hand. 2 Wheat and 2 Turnip. The season last two weeks but the first crop will be ready in 4 days and the second in seven. #DCrops
I had another water quest today. I like the water quests and was able to complete them in good time. I won a legendary potion and 8 DEC. #Splinterlands
This season I did very well. I won 194 matches out of 384 so a little over half. In one of my daily quest, I won a Gold Common card. I was very happy to get it because I know it is rare to win a gold card in any of the loot chests unless you get to open a lot of chests. Then at Season end, I had 12 loot chests to open and low -n- behold, there was another Gold Card. To my surprise it was an Epic card. I have never won a card that was both Gold and Epic. I was very, very…
Be a Positive Force That Has an Impact On Those Around You. I was out of town for the weekend at an event where they honored a friend. Our friend invited us to the ceremony because our encouragement so many years ago. Over those years, they had raised over $1 Million that was used to help those in need in the community. They recognized us as being an influence on our friend with all the support and encouragement that we had provided them. You never know when you will make a…
I had a sneak quest today. I completed it fairly well. Still trying to move up further in rating but I win than lose. When Opening my loot chest, I received 2 DEC and an Alchemy potion. #Splinterlands
I was tired of being beaten by the Earthquake so puchased Brighton Bloom summoner. This card provides all monsters in its lineup to have the flying ability. Now I will be able to play my normal lineup and not worried about being killed by the earthquake. https://www.1up.zone/@darmst5339/splinterlands-earthquake-kills-me-but-never-again #Splinterlands
My quest today was a neutral quest. I can normally just whip through this quest but it took me several hours but I finally won the three that was needed. I kept adding a none neutral card to my lineup that is what took me so long. I received two of the different Pelacor cards. #Splinterlands
It has been a few days since I created a post for the IamAliveChallenge. I have been very busy around the house out in the countryside. Trying to get prepared for the Thanksgiving Holiday which is celebrated in the United States. https://www.wearealiveand.social/hive-155221/@darmst5339/iaac-day-166-busy-with-preparations-for-upcoming-holiday #Iamalivechallenge
I was able to complete my quest more quickly today. It was a sneak quest. I also was able to move up to Silver II so received three loot chests. However I did not get anything special Gargoya Lion, Legendary potion and 7 DEC #Splinterlands
I find the Gelatinous Cube Card Very Under Rated. I found a very good use for this card. The Gelatinous Cube has the Scavenger Ability. It gains 1 Max health every time a monster dies. When you get match set rules that have Noxious Fumes, the go to card should be Gelatinous Cube because a lot of monsters will die. It is a neutral card that can be used with any splinter so it will not matter which splinter the rule set limits, the gelatinous cube can still be added to your…
