I noticed I had enough merits to get another Gladius Case from Guild Brawls. One of the cards did an extra shake after it opened and turned into a gold card. I was very surprised and delighted at the same time. The card adds 500 collection power to my deck. https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@darmst5339/splinterlands-gladius-case-opening-received-1st-gold-gladius-card

I started an Earth quest yesterday. I would do several matches and not make progress then I would do some other stuff. Later I would come back and play more. It just seemed that the Splinterland gods were not smiling down on me. Finally this morning, I completed my five wins in the Earth splinter and received 4 credits. I am still working to get out of Bronze so only get one loot chest.
Ok, if you have not yet started playing the Splinterland tournaments, you should at least check them out. Currently there are over $76,000 in prizes waiting to be one by players. Talk about nice. I am not that good but I still ended up placing in a few tournaments. Here is my story - check it out. https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@darmst5339/splinterlands-tournaments-training-and-earning
I had a insanely difficult time with my snipe quest. I took me over a day and a half to get the right combinations for the 5 required wins. I finally got them and also was able to get back in Silver III at the same time. Upon opening the loot chests, I received the Venari Bonesmith and 4 DEC.
In my pack this week, I received both a rare and an epic. This is the first time that I have received two cards greater than common in the same pack. I was excited to see this. I am now at level 61 and ran my first drum music lesson. I am trying to move up the rankings as well.

I must be getting worse and worse in my matches as I cannot seem to win what is needed to complete my quest in a daily manner. I do not know what is going on. Two days late, I finally finished my latest daily quest and received an Alchemy potion and a Pelacor Conjurer.
I received 12 loot chests for my end of Season rewards. Upon opening them I was happy to receive a rare Djinn renova care. I also received 4 common cards, 5 potions and two chests with a small amount of DEC. Here is the story where I share my detailed end of season reports including the tournaments I have entered. https://www.1up.zone/@darmst5339/splinterlands-season-end-and-djinn-renova-strengthens-other-cards
I have reached level 63 and purchased another pack to add to my card collection. I am hoping to keep pushing each week to get to the higher levels. I am gaining one to two levels each week. For some reason the drunk fans seem to love my music increasing my ego above 10% which I will need to address.

This past week has supplied bucket loads of "Crypto News" that is grabbing everyone's attention. I found myself reading a lot of articles and notices that a lot of my time was taken up by this distraction. I am working to continue to add to accumulating Hive and Hive Engine tokens by staying consistent and continuing my daily activities no matter what is happening in the News. Check out my progress.…
I participate in the Splinterlands Weekly and Pop Up Spring Training Tournaments whenever possible. This is only one of the many tournaments that are available in the Events tab of the Splinterlands game. After the Spring Training Tournament season concludes, there will be a Super-Mega Raffle Ticket drawing on July 4th. The raffle will be for all NFTs created after the initial production of the 2022 set and packs not distributed via tourneys during the season.…
The Fall planting season has begun and will last for 15 days. I had a mystery seed that I planted and it turned into a Garlic seed. I also planted some of my other seed. Read the full story: https://peakd.com/hive-102223/@darmst5339/dcrops-fall-has-started-and-planted-mystery-seed
This quest was a hard one for me to complete. It was the Snipe quest. Most of the matchups that I have did not have a Snipe card so when I would change a card out for a snipe, I would lose. Oh well. I finally completed it and received two potions - an Alchemy and Legendary potion.
This past week I was able to add two levels and achieved level 66. This puts me just 9 levels away from being able to run the Band Auditions Missions. I also purchased my weekly pack and received two of the same cards. This had not happened to me before. Read the full story. https://peakd.com/hive-102223/@darmst5339/rising-star-lvl-66-achieved-and-closer-to-band-auditions
For some reason, I am not able to finish my quest in a timely manner. I will need to work on this especially when the daily quest change to focus points. I look forward to this change. My daily quest was life and upon completing I received Venari Bonesmith and 8 DEC.
No time like now, that is why they call it "Present". The past is behind us and there is nothing we can do about it but learn from what happened. The future is yet to be so we can only hope for things to be as we would like but try to influence the outcome by preparation. Think about the actions you are taking right now. These will be what will shape what happens next. I continue to work on reaching my goals.…
This is a small one lane road in my area. You would not think anything of it and that it leads to nowhere. But I quite enjoy walking along this road and seeing all the amazing sights. It is one of the "Roads less traveled". As you travel the road of life, you will come to diverging paths or roads at various times along the way. Most of the time you will know what is down one of those roads but most of the time not both.…
