Once again, it is Hive Power Up Day. This will be my tenth power up day in a row and sixth for 2022 in which I have participated. I saved up some liquid hive so that I would have enough to power up on the 1st day of the month. I want to see if I can participate every single month this year. https://ctptalk.com/@darmst5339/june-hive-power-up-day-my-tenth-in-a-row

I was awarded enough merits in this last brawl to get me enough Gladius case to open. I was lucky enough to get a gold card. https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@darmst5339/splinterlands-gladius-case-opening-received-gold-gladius-card

I finally earned enough daily focus points to get two chests. It was a struggle to win in that specific splinter Death but I finally put enough together to get the chests. When I opened the first one, I thought here we go again 12 DEC but the second one contained 284 DEC so that made it worth it.
This is my entry into the POBPhoto contest. It is about technology. In my post, I talk about AI technology. Check it out: https://www.proofofbrain.io/@darmst5339/pobphotocontest-technology-dog-meets-tekno-dog
I was able to 4 chests for my daily focus. That is the most so far this season. I received two cards (Ever hungry skull and Blood Maker), some DEC and a potion. I am hoping to keep up this pace and get at least 4 chest for each daily the rest of the season.
I was able to earn 5 chests in the daily focus. the Splinter was Earth. When I opened my chest I received 2 cards (Ever-Hungry Skull and Vampire Bat) which gives me enough to level up both of them. I also received a chest with 450 DEC. Boy, I was happy to get that. The other two chests contained potions.
In this post, I share the comparison of my last two seasons and why it is so important to add enough collection power to be in highest tier possible in your current League (Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc).

I received a new land plot in a giveaway which will allow me to plant an additional seed at the beginning of next season so I also purchased a mystery seed. After harvesting all my crop, I ended up with 114 shares that I sold. Check out my post. https://peakd.com/hive-102223/@darmst5339/dcrops-harvesting-winter-crops-and-new-land-plot
I was able to earn 6 loo chests for the daily focus. One more than yesterday. And wow another 450 DEC chest. The rest of the chest were small DEC and a potion. No cards. This next one will be even better I can feel it.
Dragons are a deadly combination especially these two. This week's Splinterland Share Your Battle Challenge is "Dragons". I love these two Dragons - Byzantine Kitty and Djinn Chwala so they are the ones that I started with in my lineup for the battle. https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@darmst5339/splinterlands-share-your-battle-challenge-dragons
I am now able to get around 4 chests per day with the Daily Focus which is double from the old rewards system so I am doing a lot better with the new reward structure. I received three cards - Blood Maker, Venari Wavesmith and Pelacor Mercenary and a potion.
Today's Focus quest I was able to earn three chests. I received a Blood Maker, Pelacor Deceiver and 2 DEC. I did not know that a chest of DEC could be that low with the Silver chest multiplier. I know tomorrow will be better. Take care.
I would have to say there is a perfect storm going on in the global markets. There is so much fear, uncertainty and doubt that it is almost impossible to see past all of the negative news. Time to make sure I am ready for the next thing that may come. https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@darmst5339/progress-update-perfect-storm
There was a fire in the distance with the wind blowing to me. It was a 340 acre grass fire that had started. It took them most of the day to get it under control and then I could still see flames after it had gotten dark. https://peakd.com/hive-150329/@darmst5339/pobphotocontest-white-clouds-but-not
This focus was for the Splinter Fire. I thought I was better at this splinter but could only get 3 chests. I received two potions (one of each) and the Pelacor Deceiver. I am hoping I do better today.
Spring Season has started. I had seven seed available for planting and my mystery seed turned into a Kale. Read the full story here. https://peakd.com/hive-102223/@darmst5339/dcrops-4-days-into-spring-season
I love playing Splinterlands. There is always something new happening. I believe today they made some deployed some programing changes to get ready for the new season. In my daily focus, I was able to get three chests. Upon opening I was very excited because I received my first chaos legion pack as one of my rewards. I had never received one before so I hope this is the first of many, many more to come.
I was able to get five chests for todays daily focus - Earth. For some reason, I win more matches in the Earth splinter. And BAM another Chaos Legion card pack. Yesterday was the first time ever getting one so I could not believe my eyes when another one showed up today. Will tomorrow be "Third times a a charm?"
After the season was over and done, I managed to get 55 chests. Lots of different cards and some chests with low DEC amounts. Read my full End of Season story https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@darmst5339/splinterlands-more-is-not-always-better
