SLP Farming & Energy Management

150 SLP is guaranteed every day. Completing the daily of 5 Arena wins and 10 Adventure stage clears awards 50 SLP. The remaining 100 is won by completing stages in Adventure mode. Outside of this, if a rating >1100 is maintained, 7 SLP can be won per arena match. This can easily grant us over 150 per day if energy is spent on arena wisely. Unfortunately, if we use an energy to play an adventure or arena match, then lose - we do not get any experience (Adventure) or SLP (Arena). This is particularly troubling early on, as we only generate 5 energy for every 6 hours that goes by. As the daily reset happens at 00:00:00 UTC (midnight), we should ensure every day that 100 is gained in adventure, and 50 is obtained from completing the daily.

As you could see in my earnings summary, we missed getting 100/100 in Adventure twice this week. This seriously dropped the average down from the expected 180/day. Due to this, I decided to spend more energy overall in Adventure. This SLP is guaranteed, and my team is more suited there than the arena. My rating has been dropping consistently, leading me to hover ~1050 arena rating, no longer eligible for 7 SLP per win, and gaining only 3 on average. Due to my lost rating, I am working on only playing 5 per day with energy, and attempting to level my axies for more efficient Adventure farming. Early on, the 100 SLP was very slow. Only being able to complete up to Lunacia Ruins 9 was really tough, as each stage gave a maximum of 2 SLP for every completion. This led to needing to do >60 stages a day early on. Once my axies got to level 11, I was able to complete Ruins 10 on Day 4 and continue. Once they got to level 13, I was able to consistently complete Ruins 15, offering up to 8 SLP per clear. I'll have a more detailed post over Adventure mode in the future.

New Plan

As you saw in the thumbnail, my weeks worth of 1155 SLP is currently worth ~0.064 ETH. Note that prices may fluctuate as the ETH and SLP value change. As my last post detailed, my original plan was to breed my two beast axies together and hope to get lucky. Unfortunately, we're going to be throwing this plan out the window. As of current prices, the 1500 SLP breeding price is ~0.08 ETH. This means that the resulting child would need to sell for >0.08 ETH just to break even, and that's not including the price of 2 AXS, nor accounting for the 4% market tax. Knowing this, I will likely be selling the SLP after my two week period ends next week, and transferring the ETH back, looking to purchase additional axies. If I can manage to get 7 more and hit the next energy threshold, my earning potential doubles in Arena. Plus, hopefully we can find some teammates for arena to swap in and out for that price.

SLP cannot be claimed for 2 weeks, so next week I will be able to claim the total and will likely swap it to ETH. Once that happens, I'll put the ETH that was earned. Until then, prices have been fluctuating wildly due, so keep in mind the amount earned will likely not always be the amount earned in one week. However, the Axie Infinity team have said they would (and already have once) adjusted breeding prices based on the SLP being generated in the game. Overall, the game is enjoyable to play, and I plan on continuing every day next week. Seeing the ability to make ETH by playing this cute card based strategy game is amazing. Hopefully gas prices are low next week for swapping.

Total Investment: 0.25 ETH
