Thoughts about Glint returns

in #splinterlands7 months ago

For those of us who play #Splinterlands, I've been giving the new rewards system some thought.

Hypothesis: For lower to mid tier players, it is best to buy cards with Veteran Draw.

Reasons:
Most cost effective for Legendary card chances.
Can get several draws in a season or even a day if you win often enough.

Data:
Let's break it down.

  1. Initiate Draw is 150 G for 0.1% chance at Legendary. This is 1500 Glint for 1% chance.
  2. Adept Draw is 400 G for 0.4% chance at Legendary. This is 1000 Glint for 1% chance, but you have to spend 1200 G to get there.
  3. Veteran Draw is 1000 G for 1.0% chance at Legendary.
  4. Elite Draw is 2500 G for 1.6% chance at Legendary. This is 1562.5 Glint for 1% chance.
  5. Master Draw is 5000 G for 3.2% chance at Legendary. This is also 1562.5 Glint for 1% chance.

Granted you get more than 1% chance with the higher draws. But for a mid-tier player like myself, I don't make much Glint to be able to afford them anyway.

That is my analysis. Feel free to share your thoughts below.
