The Ascendant - From Novice to Champion (2022-02-06)
Hello all. This is The Ascendant. I made this account as I wanted to see how far I could push without any investment, aside from the Spellbook that is.
With this account, there will be no monetary investment, which means no purchasing DEC, Credits, SPS, or any other in-game token with real money. In addition, there will be no delegations, no renting of cards and no transferring assets from my main account to this one.
There are a few things that will be allowed, however. The obvious is in-game assets. Credits, DEC and cards earned in-game are entirely acceptable. The other thing that I will be making use of is community resources. The reason for this is that I have a different experiment running on another account that is only using assets generated in-game and Monster Market refunds for progress. Community resources include giveaways such as the ones found here, rewards from blogposts, prizes from the weekly Splinterlands Lore Discord Quiz Night, The Giftgiver Faucet which is mainly for Hive Power, and the Splinter Labs Faucet which is for DEC. I will likely only use the Splinter Labs Faucet very early on to help with getting some early cards or to help get that last little bit of DEC needed to purchase a card before I can earn it for myself. Once I reach the CP needed for Bronze 2, the use of the Splinter Labs Faucet will cease permanently seeing as I can make DEC myself whereas those using the Faucet might not be able to do so. Finally, purchases will be made through Monster Market for the DEC refund.
Now that the Intro is out of the way, it is time for the first update. It will be a nice short one today as it is only the first day.

Today was a nice easy water quest. My favourite. It took seven battles. I won the first four, lost two and then won a fifth to finish my quest..png)

Good luck!! A great source of revenue seems to come from posting, if you transfer it all to DEC it might speed up your challenge!
I'm wondering how you experience the progression you have while playing splinterlands,
check-out the experience of others in this poll!.
Thank you. This is going to act as a long term project while I finish off school and should act as a good mental health break.
Voted in the poll.
Thanks i appriciate it!
