# DuceCrypto's S164 - Splinter Stats Ranked Rewards Season 77 Report Card

@ducecrypto

Despite my loss of focus during the 2nd half of the season when I was away at Elements Music & Arts Festival, Season 164 ended as a smashing success. I finished in a Top 100 leaderboard spot in all three formats, so that netted me more bonus Glint. The only real negative was my pathetic tournament performance, so I need to improve my tournament completion rates. Onto the numbers!

For the second straight season I paid careful attention to play Wild format as little as possible, since the SPS battle reward payouts are much juicer in Modern. To that end, I only played 109 Wild battles compared to 482 battles in Modern!

It is just a shame that my Modern win rate lagged behind Wild and Survival by a pretty hefty spread. The culprit were the stronger liquidity bots, which proved very hard to beat during Season 164. Despite finishing with a rating right at 4000, I still ranked in the Top 50 of Modern, which goes to show how much more difficult climbing the Modern leaderboard was against the bots in S164 compared to previous seasons.

My win rate in Modern was quite close to 50% seeing as I won slightly more than half of my battles, 244 wins from 482. In Wild and Survival, I had an almost identical 63.3% win rate out of 109 Wild battles and 207 Survival battles. I only finished in 81st place with a 4500 rating in Wild, while in Survival with the more difficult liquidity bots, I managed a Top 10 finish with only a 4000 rating.

Yuck, my tournament participation got even worse in this past season. I only managed to play both rounds in just 7 of the 21 events I registered for. I really should have gotten a refund for a bunch of the events that I had no business signing up for during the Elements Music Festival. Must have been wishful thinking that I'd have the time and attention to submit all those tournament battles.

Despite only finishing 7 events, I still earned 8759 SPS from @sps.dao tournaments with some big finishes in the most lucrative tournaments. I got 3K SPS from 8th place in Modern Expert GF and 2K SPS from 12th place in Wild Expert GF. Of great personal satisfaction was my 1st place victory in the Modern Silver/Intermediate GF event, which has consistently been my brawl fray for over 3 years. Only just recently did my main account make the jump to a Modern Gold/Advanced GF fray, while one of my less powerful alt accounts slid into my former silver spot.

Glint season rewards will show in the season they are claimed.

SPS ranked rewards continue to go crazy with three formats available for ranked play. 244 wins in Modern might be my personal best in the human era, netting me an insane total of 11390 SPS. Comparatively, I only earned 932 SPS from my 69 wins in Wild and 6484 SPS from my 131 wins in Survival.

Looking at average SPS earned per win, the rate was highest in Survival at 49.5, then Modern at 46.7, and Wild down at 13.5. With nearly 3x the payout, it is clear why I put such a big focus on jamming those Modern battles instead of Wild!

Staking Rewards1902.912
Ranked Rewards as above18807.519
Brawl Rewards518.975
Land Rewards4642.541
NET SPS25871.947

All told, I earned a whopping 18807 SPS from the three ranked formats combined. I was even more impressed to see my land earnings jump to 4642 SPS in a season from just my 2 occupied plots. It shows how little competition there is to mine SPS while people focus on generating other resources. 518 SPS from brawls is down a bit from our seasonal target, as we had some issues filling all.our frays with competitive accounts. This number should improve now that I brought in both of my alt accounts to shore up some weaknesses in the Gold Foil Brawlers of Shield of Glory. We will now more aptly defend our #1 guild rating!

It is incredible to me that I was able to earn 25872 SPS from SPS rewards during a season when I was mostly distracted by a music festival for the second weekend of the season. My Modern win rate was barely above 50% and I only completed 7 of my 21 tournaments. Just think how much better I would have done with better focus and time management?!

Combining the 25872 SPS from rewards with the 8759 SPS from tournaments totals out to a mind-blowing 34631 SPS earned in Season 164. Using today's spot price of 0.0086 USD, I earned about $298 worth of SPS value. That's nearly $20/day over the 15 day season! Not bad for just playing a Web3 TCG. Let's see if I can beat that mark next season. Until next time...

That 4.6k SPS from just two plots really stood out. Sounds like your land kept working while you were at Elements, unlike those liquidity bots that refuse to dance. What setup are you running there to pull that SPS, building levels or worker mix? Tournament refunds aside, those Modern GF finishes did a lot of heavy lifting.

I just have two occupied plots running with about 50K PP and RUNI. I still buy some resources from the market, so claiming that SPS isn't technically "free," but I'm farming most of my resources, so there isn't a high fee to pay for each harvest.

Thanks, that helps a lot. Are those plots common or do you have rarer terrain or any totem/title boosts, and which buildings are you running on them? Also curious about your worker mix to reach ~50k PP with RUNI, whether you use time crystals, and which resources you still buy instead of farm so I can gauge the real net.

Oh I think it would be challenging to appropriately value the ROI from just the workers. You might have better luck using the https://land.spl-stats.com/ site to research my plots and worker structure.

Got it, I’ll dig into your plots on that site. If you had to ballpark one stat, what’s your average SPS per day per plot at around 50k PP? Also curious if adding RUNI moved the needle more than raising building levels or tweaking the farm vs research split.

RUNI is a huge benefit. Like a legendary totem it increases worked by 100% and eliminates the need to stake DEC.

Totally agree, that combo is nuts. A 100% boost with no DEC upkeep turns a solid plot into a monster, especially when DEC is tight. Are you keeping RUNI parked on your highest PP setup or rotating it depending on what you’re crafting each week?
