RE: I just can't make Land work... (post looks huge, but most is math)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
First of all, thank you very much for putting my name next to one of the biggest names in this community. It's such an honor!
Second, you made me do the math myself! A little bit of brain exercise haha!
At first, I was wondering why you wouldn't fully populate the sample Stone plot until I realized you only have enough net Grain to feed 4 of these Stone harvesters.
Also, this is funny!
I'm so gonna burn that castle...
Anyway! There's plenty of different ways on how to approach Land.
There was a time I was min-maxing the workers to get the most bang for my buck. Price of GF cards kept dropping so I ended up getting a bunch of Rares and Epics from CL.
It's great that we can somewhat compute for some return now but one thing I think a lot of people are not factoring in is the potential increase in value of the land plots once more developments to the game have been applied.
It's like buying a acres/hectares of land in a province away from the city. You buy it for cheap. And then next thing you know, the government starts building roads and amenities near that area and then neighboring parcels of land increase in value.
This is how I see Splinterlands Land. The plots right now are the provincial plots. The future amenities / infrastructure are the forthcoming updates in the game (and we know Mancer is working on this!)
You already know things will be built in the future. Get on it early while people are still sleeping. Secure your property now before you get priced out of Land!
I know some players are hoarding resources. For me, I'd like to acquire more land. Unlimited resources vs a hard cap of 150,000 plots. What's the real scarcity play here? 😉
I agree. There is so much to talk about it, but I am going to show a simple deal of common land plots that I made a few months back.
$10 a piece. For stone plots.
I will let you check the market now. I rest my case.
I got most of my plots between 10 and 15$. I think the last land plot was 20$, but that's it. Just by buying blindly, following my guild leader's recommendation, I already made some profit.
Good stuff! I had bought a bunch of mine for $9 sometime last year but I unfortunately don't have a screenshot of the bigger purchase.
I have a record of it on my transactions list, though.
I don't think we'll see prices this low again...
Yes, the space is limited!
Absolutely agree! That's why I'm probably going for land before I'll go for rebellion set. What I wanted to show is that right now you can also get a decent return, not taking into account the future value of what you're owning.
I did! And it made the ROI raise by 0,7%, buying extra grain. I got it covered :-) That article was fun to write, I really like math. As long as it's simple. The rest I leave for azircon to plot.
Oh, the slogans!
Everybody can go for splinters. Go for Land.
Don't wait until there's only splinters left. Go for Land now.
Pre-Sale is now. Land is the future.
Don't let the Chaos splinter your home. Unite your region under your banner. Buy Land now.
