📚📝Diary of My Splinterlands Journey Week 45📝📚 (🎁🧧Giveaway inside🧧🎁) - Happy with my EoS rewards, 4 packs got me a legendary! 🤑 Riftwatchers opening/playable at last!

Once again, it has been a pretty busy week for me in Splinterlands. This past week saw the End of another Season AND also the official "opening" of Riftwatchers packs. These 2 events alone have definitely added lots of excitement into the community 😂. What kind of changes would there be in gameplay with the addition of Riftwatchers cards? What would the new meta become? What kind of rewards would I get in the End of Season reward chests? 😱🤑

But before I go into detail...

A brief introduction before I start though...

Good Day to all Splinterlands players! (and people of HIVE! 😜) I've made it a point to blog about my weekly progress and experiences in Splinterlands/HIVE in my "weekly diary". Splinterlands & HIVE are what I'd consider to be my entry point into the World of Crypto, and I intend to use this as a means to look back on the path I've taken in the years ahead.⏳⏳⏳

This is now the 45th consecutive week writing in my Diary (of sorts) detailing my Splinterlands Journey ever since I started this game. Of course, this also marks my 37th weekly giveaway! 🎉🥳🎊

No week goes by in Splinterlands without some news event happening though. And here's my pick of some of the most interesting ones in my opinion. 📰📰📰

🗺️🧳✈️Updates on my Splinterlands Journey🗺️🧳✈️

---

Both my main and alt accounts ended the season in Gold 2 and 3 respectively. I played almost the entire season in the Silver 1 league though. I do find that this gives the best cost:reward combination for me. 😉

Both accounts got pretty similar rewards overall. The cards were nothing spectacular, but each account got 20+ SPS each, which wasn't too bad at all, and the better part were the 2 Chaos Legion packs that they both got too! 🎉

I wouldn't call the rewards Good, but I think it was slightly above average? 😅 I'm pretty satisfied though.

---

Of course, with 4 packs sitting on my hand, I just couldn't resist the urge to YOLO and open them 😝. Boy I'm glad I did so too. I scored a Legendary Adelade Brightwing and an Epic Dax Paragon! 😱🤑🎉

Overall, this End of Season has been a success for me. 👍

---

My quest for more Gold Foil Legendary cards from my rewards chests continues on ("Greed is Good!" 😈). It's a 0.008% chance, at base level, to pull a legendary gold foil, in case you were wondering 😉. Here's to more jackpot strikes in the future (i hope) 🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀🤞🏻🍀.

🏆💰🎁Splinterlands News🏆💰🎁

Riftwatchers packs can finally be opened! 😱 Since I missed the presale, I resolved not to buy any packs, but snap up individual cards instead. That might change in the future, but for now that is going to be my plan. Of course, I watched plenty of livestreams in which others opened their packs 🤣. If I can't get to open any myself, at least I'll relive the experience through others instead? 😁

I've got to say the artwork of Riftwatchers is amazing. The result of Splinterlands expanding their creative team really shows here. Almost all the cards are really impressive too. I'm really torn about buying some packs after I saw the entire list of cards. It seems like there are no really "bad" cards in this expansion and every single card will be pretty strong and useful.

I've rented almost all of them to test out though, and I think I'll probably be able to get a good feel and assess what I actually need by the next week 😉. Some really deadly combos have surfaced but I'll wait awhile longer. The market for these cards are red hot now and I expect them to go back to a more reasonable price as time goes by.

Weekly Chaos Legion Sales Tracker

---

And now, for an update on the number of Chaos Legion packs sold thus far. About 38k sold since last week. That is an amazing sales figure! 😄

Here's the current count (as of the moment I'm writing this post) of the number of packs sold, and we're 1m away from the 11 million mark! Which also means everyone has a chance to get in now and grab more packs for the remaining airdrops! 😜

My fingers are crossed! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Hopefully I'll get some amazing luck for the next round! 🍀🍀🍀
