It is the second season of the glint system, and it appears that Splinterlands has improved its gamification. It appears that players can now buy random draws or focus on common, rare, epic, and/or legendary draws. I will take a look at the quality of the rewards shortly.
I finished in Champions 3, and it was a steady grind from Diamond 3, where I began at the beginning of last season. In the end, I finished with 57k Glints and had 93k Glints to shop with. I previously had around 6k Glints and used 96% of my Glint rewards.
I averaged 0.85 SPS per game and won between 11 and 14 games per day. I did not calculate the value of the SPS because the price has been steadily declining for the past two to weeks.
An Unmistakable Edge
First and foremost, the previous reward system will remain my favorite because it incorporates the element of surprise and allows anyone to receive any type of reward, particularly if they earn Gold or Diamond chests. The new system is still restrictive, and I will explain why. Let us not forget about the daily focus, which was one of the most exciting aspects of Splinterlands.
The daily focus allows you to maximize your ECR and build your soulbound collection, particularly if you are the serious type. You earn a variety of cards, including legendaries. I believe that if we had the glint system from the start, only top-tier players would own legendary cards because it would require a large number of Glints to purchase even one legendary card, let alone increase the level of these legendary cards.
This is why it was so important to farm and own good soulbound cards prior to this change. This also leads me to believe that earning soulbound cards will become increasingly difficult in the future
GLINTS are innovative, true
Using them for shopping is not a bad idea; however, I believe it means you must win more games to have the opportunity to purchase a high-quality draw. You do not just need to win more; you also need to have more staked SPS and more quality cards, not soulbound ones, but ones purchased with real money.
A review of my shopping experience.
After shopping, I discovered that the best draws are rare, epic, and legendary draws, also known as rarity draws. The random draws are draws that are just meant to be gambled with. Unless you already have a lot of Glints, I do not recommend getting any more. Although there are exciting rewards to be had there, if your resources are limited, you will not want to gamble.
Choosing rarity draws provides more certainty, and I spent half of my Glints (if not more) on rare draws.
I did this because, after purchasing ten of the draws, I discovered that this is the draw you should choose if you want to level up your summoner. The majority, if not all, of soulbound summoners are rare cards, and purchasing these draws ensures that you will receive at least 70% of soulbound summoners. My main priority was to upgrade my summoners, so I shopped heavily to get all of my soulbound summoners to level 5 and 6. Then I start burning cards in bulk and reusing them to buy more draws.
I also purchased some epic draws, but I was dissatisfied with the majority of the results; they were expensive. I bought a lot more draws and even tried my luck with random draws in the hopes of winning some jackpots. However, the most value for Glints came from purchasing rare draws, as I needed high level summoners because I already had a lot of hive level cards that I could not play with lower level summoners.
I also spent about 3k Plus merits on two Gladius cases, which was not particularly exciting, but at least I tried.
I Achieved My Summoner Goals
So, as the season came to a close, my top priority was soulbound summoners, which I partially accomplished. I did not buy any legendary draws because they cost too much at 25k Glints. Imagine buying 4 legendary draws for 100k which is even two seasons glint rewards.
I believe they are the lowest value for Glints because you cannot burn one legendary card for 2k Glints; the highest you can burn it for is about 5 to 10k, which means that if you get a legendary you do not want, you will lose a whopping 15k Glints, unless it is a GFL. All of this is hypothetical, as I did not purchase any legendary cards to confirm it.
The Gwen's shop Undoubtedly Improved
The new changes to the Gwen shop have the advantage of allowing you to target your Glint to specific types of cards. Although I still believe the shop should have a separate section where you can trade your cards for any card of the same rarity, this ensures you do not lose any Glints when you decide to burn a card you do not want.
At the end of the day, I focused my Glints on increasing the level of my summoners, which I did. I burned some of my gold foil summoners to buy regular ones because the gold foil were no longer useful. It is a positive change at Gwen's shop. I have been writing and clamoring for it, and it is finally finished; I am hoping to see more gamification changes in the coming week.
