I hate when you get reset back to the lower leagues. I have the hardest times fighting back up. I had a snipe quest and received an Alchemy potion. I am in Bronze II fighting back up but all I have mostly been doing is staying the same in ranking.
@darmst in February 2022
My day was kind of slow. I had a water quest but I kept losing again like yesterday. I lost so much that I was no longer earning DEC for wins. I had dropped all the way to Bronze III and you have to be in Bronze II to get any reward for a match win. I finally did good enough to finish the quest and received an Alchemy potion. Afterwards, I played a lot more matches, had a winning streak and now am in Bronze I with a ranking of 814. Sometimes you just have to be persistent to…
My water quest took me a while to complete. I kept getting the wrong rule sets to be able to play the water splinter, it is my weakest splinter. Once I completed it, I opened the loot chest and received a Pelacor Mercenary card.
I had the death quest and then all of the matches were high mana at the beginning which death is not a good splinter to play. Low mana is better for death. I finally started getting a few low to mid mana caped matches and was able to win 5 matches. I received an Alchemy potion which I am hoping will get me a gold card when opening packs.
Today there were two Traffic Exchanges in the Scavenger hunt. I was able to find Luke 5 times and finish the scavenger hunt. https://www.wearealiveand.social/hive-155221/@darmst5339/lukeisalive-clicktrackprofit-helps-with-your-success
First time I have had a snipe quest in a while. I kept forgetting to change my lineups to include a snipe card and then when I did remember most of the times I lost. After a while, I won 5 matches with a snipe card include and received 21 DEC and a Pelacor Deceiver.
Today I shared about the drought conditions in my area for the IAmAliveChallenge and also a couple of pictures I took of the horizon after the sun had set. https://www.wearealiveand.social/hive-155221/@darmst5339/iaac-day-209-less-rain-than-normal-in-area
My quest today was the sneak quest. I kept forgetting to change up my lineup again. I like the splinter quest better than the sneak or snipe quest. After completing it I got a Pelacor Deceiver and an Alchemy potion
My stats for RisingStar are steadily improving and I am now up to Lvl 46. I bought and opened another pack today. I received 1 Rare card and 2 Common Cards. R153 Sitar - 50 Luck t6 Cheap Car - 10 Fans i44 Old Cello - 1 Luck https://www.1up.zone/@darmst5339/rising-star-lvl-46-achieved-and-need-advice-how-to-advance-levels-faster
With all the bad news on TV, I thought I would share a quote by Sir Winston Churchill as part of my IAmAliveChallenge post. "We are passing through a bad time now, and it will probably be worse before it is better, but that it will be better, if we only endure and persevere, I have no doubt whatever." https://www.wearealiveand.social/hive-155221/@darmst5339/iaac-day-210-endure-and-persevere
I was at the mercy of a Death quest. It took a long while to finish it. Once complete I opened my chest and another Death quest showed up. I wonder how long it will take me to complete this one. For rewards I received a Gargoya Lion and 5 DEC
This is my first entry into the weekly Splinterlands Share Your Battle Challenge. Since it is the first time that I have participated in this challenge, I would appreciate to hear any feedback anyone has to share. https://www.1up.zone/@darmst5339/splinterlands-share-your-battle-challenge-lava-spider
I was disappointed when I opened my 12 Season End Loot chest. I received 2 Common Cards. This is the fewest number of cards that I have received in the season end loot chests since I started playing. I received 3 Legendary and 2 Alchemy potions and also 5 loot chests bearing a total of 29 DEC. But it is what it is. Maybe my luck will be better this next season.
So a new season starts and we all get bumped back down a few pegs. I start with 500 rating and a No-Neutral quest. It was not that bad but it seemed that for every match I won I also lost one. My rating slipped to 480. When I opened my 1 loot chest, I received 3 credits. I guess I am getting all my low rewards out of the way at the beginning of the season.
The LukeIsAlive challenge has two sites currently for Finding Luke. I was able to find Luke 5 times and complete the challenge for the second day in a row. I hope there continues to be two sponsors so all of us can find Luke more often. https://www.wearealiveand.social/hive-155221/@darmst5339/lukeisalive-making-progress-takes-time
I have participated in our guild brawls to earn enough merits for a third Gladius Case. Even though I did not get any cards greater than rare. I am still pleased with the cards I received. The Bloodlust ability is to be reckoned with. The common card, Katrelba Gobson, with three abilities appears to be an awesome card as well. I did not have any Earth Gladius cards until I received two in this pack.…
I am still trying to participate in the Scavenger Hunt but only able to find Luke once per day. I am hoping that more owners of sites start participating as well. https://www.wearealiveand.social/hive-155221/@darmst5339/lukeisalive-luke-loves-cup-of-traffic
I have been having the toughest time with this Life quest. The Life splinter is best when the mana is over 26. Most of my quest have been between 12-20 which makes it difficult to win matches to compete this quest. Well I finally completed it and was awarded a loot chest with 4 credits in it. Tomorrow is a new day....LOL
This time I had a water quest. I made it through it fairly well and also made it to Bronze I league. I still need to do better to get back to Silver III as quickly as possible so I can start getting two loot chest but until then I will be satisfied with what I can get. Well, maybe. Today I received 6 credits for my daily rewards.
Another water quest in Splinterlands. I have made it to mid point of the Bronze I rating. I am hoping I keep up this progress and I should be back into Silver III in another day or two. Once I opened my loot chest I received 3 credits. I will be glad when I start getting cards again.
In the Rising Star game, I was able to increase two levels this week. I completed 36 missions, this is up 4 from 32 I completed the prior week. I am finally feeling like I am making progress. I earned 18,000 Starbits this past week and used part of them to get me another pack. Adding to my fans, skill and luck. I am hoping to do even better next week. https://www.1up.zone/@darmst5339/rising-star-lvl-49-achieved-and-enjoying-my-pizza
I was able to surf at Cup of Traffic and find Luke one time. By surfing Cup of Traffic, I was able to add a new mastery at ClickTrackProfit. https://www.wearealiveand.social/hive-155221/@darmst5339/lukeisalive-new-mastery-achieved-at-clicktrackprofit
This was my first Earth quest in a very long time so I was a little rusty in selecting my lineups for my matches. After a little while I got back in the hang of it and finally won my five needed matches to complete the quest. For all the work, I received a Legendary potion.
There are four seasons in the game just like in the real world. Each season has certain seed that you can plant during that time period. The season lasts 15 days. Since the spring season has just started, I need to plant the spring seed that I have in stock. I have four Broccoli and one Kale seed. https://www.1up.zone/@darmst5339/dcrops-growing-my-harvest-each-season
I had a sneak quest today. I like sneak as I do not have to worry about which splinter I play with. I can just use the one that is best for the mana cap and rule sets. The only change to make is to ensure there is a monster with the sneak ability in the lineup. I completed the sneak quest and received another Legendary potion.
I created a post to show my weekly goals progress. When I was preparing it, I noticed my Hive Curation rate had dropped significantly to less than 7%. This is concerning since I try to maintain it in the 8-10% range. I noticed I had voted a lot more recently and I am not letting my vote % recover as much as it should. https://ctptalk.com/@darmst5339/goal-progress-update-hive-apr-down-to-6-36-time-to-make-adjustments
My new daily quest started about an hour ago and it was another Sneak quest. Since I just had a Sneak, I was used to setting up those lineups and finished the quest off in record time. I won enough matches to get back into Silver III at the same time as I finished up my quest. Perfect timing. For my loot chests, I received a Pelacor Conjurer and 4 DEC.
I had another water quest and made it at a relatively quick pace. Today water seemed easier than normal. I am not complaining. I enjoy playing the game. After completing the quest, I received a rare Gargoya Devil and a common Gargoya Lion both neutral cards. I like these cards.
I had a water quest today. It only took me about 30 minutes to finish. I guess since it is the end of the season people may be trying to keep the levels they have achieved. I don't know but I was very happy with how quickly I got my 5 wins. My loot chests contained a rare card, the Venari Bonesmith and 9 DEC.
