Splinterlands | Splintermate Automated Play (Step-By-Step Guide)

By costanza | costanza | 26 Nov 2022

The daily time requirement in order to get most out of Splinterlands continues to be off the chart which pretty much forces players to use a bot. After Archmage introduced ridiculously high 33% fees, I now switched to Splintermate.com who charge a very affordable flat 1$ fee each month to use their service.

Archmage Way Too Expensive

Archmage hosted splex.gg was a nice entry into automating my play but turned into a small loss on the monetary side with their model of having to buy their token to get access which due to limited supply at the time and bots scooping it up was trading at a premium price of 100$+. They introduced fees which were just greedy high and many players including myself just ended turning off the bot. After playing a bit manually this past month, I now moved over to Splinteramate.

That being said, I still use splex.gg for automating part of my rentals which works great with a very fair pricing model and payment system.

Splintermate Initial Experience

Unline Archmage, you don't need to first buy a token and manually get whitelisted by joining their discord and sending a message. Instead, you just log into the Splintermate.com with Hive Keychain and you are ready to go pretty much. I instantly made a 1$ payment which can be paid with different Hive & Splinterlands assets (Hive / HBD / SPS / DEC) and I had the bot set up and operational literally within a minute.

My main fear was that the quality of the bot and the win-rate would suck but this turned out to be not justified as results just feel very similar to Archmage at first sight. I have exclusively been playing Wild for a while now which got my Modern Ranking to Bronze. So I turned to bot on to climb there in rank the past days.

After exactly 81 Battles exclusively played by the bot, it showed a 67W-14L record with a win Max streak of 24. This got me from Bronze to Gold 2 by now keeping my capture rate above 70%. As I'm climbing the rankings, the win rate inevitably will start to come down but I'm quite positive that the bot is solid enough that playing manually or running the much more expensive archmage doesn't make anywhere near enough of a difference.

Splintermate Step-By-Step Guide

The entire process on a basic level just to get the bot playing for you is so easy that it doesn't really need a step-by-step Guide

1 Register New Account

2 Pay 1$ Fee for 10000 Splintermate credits which allows you to use the service for 30 days at a cost of 333 credits that are subtracted daily.

3 Add your account and enter your private posting key.

Similar to archmage, you need to provide your private posting key so the bot can enter your battles for you. While this doesn't allow it to take funds from your account, it can perform actions like making posts or doing upvotes. I go about this being fine that the Private Posting key somehow leaks and that I will have to change it at some point in time using my owner key which I am keeping offline at all times.

4 Enter your desired Settings for the bot.

You get there by pressing the 3 dots after having your account selected and press edit selected accounts.

The setting are really straightforward and easy to change and save.

5 That's It!

Conclusion

So far, I have nothing than good things to say about Splintermate.com which actually has a very acceptable pricing plan unlike Archmage. The first sign of the win-rate it is able to produce also is very promising. With the time daily required to play Splinterlands, it's pretty much mandatory for players to get some kind of help from a bot which likely over time will have 95% of all battles just be bots vs bots.
