A major update has arrived in Splinterlands, which will significantly change the Glint Shop rewards. We've already discussed all the details of this update, including the new items and rewards in a previous content, but now that it's actually implemented, everything changes, because in practice, the theory is different.
For those unfamiliar with the new features, this update introduced the Conclave Arcana Rewards collection to revamp the Glint Shop reward cards. Furthermore, there were major changes to Loot Chests, with new items implemented, such as the Unbinding Scroll and Entries for the draw, and changes to the probabilities of cards, materials, and the jackpot.
Discussing the practical aspects of the rewards, what's new in Loot Boxes, and the unbound system, which can now be performed with the Unbinding Scroll, is a perfect topic for the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge, where the goal is to share the latest news and insights with the Splinterlands community. So, come find out more about the rewards and the deck upgrades!
I'll be much appreaciated if you Upvote, Reblogs or give any Tips ( PIZZA 🍕, PGM 🎮, LOLZ 😆, ALIVE ❤️, etc ). Thanks and have good reading! 🍀
[ENGLISH VERSION]
New Rewards: 60x Minor Chest
One of the reasons it's interesting to share what came in the Minor Chests, and a considerable amount of them—in this case, 60 Loot Chests of this rarity—is to provide a practical idea of what's coming as a reward, beyond the probabilities set for each chest. The draws are priced close to the chests, but the chest contains 40% of the cards and a number of other items. One detail is that there were three openings of 20 Minor chests, not a single opening of 60, because I collected them and opened them when I had 20 available. Therefore, let's analyze what came in each of these three openings of 20 Loot Boxes, highlighting 10 cards from each, but describing what came in general, so as not to overwhelm.
The first opening was the best overall, both in terms of cards and items. In terms of cards, we had the largest quantity and also the highest quality in terms of rarity. In the first opening of the 20x Minor Chest Loot Box, 5x rare cards came, including one repeat. The first was Swampwrought, a mage with interesting stats; then Gravebrand Warlock, with a lot of magic damage but a high mana cost; and then the Torrent Sniper x2 and finally a Saltwarth Bulkhear, which could be one of the best cards in this new set, being a great tank with good stats for its mana cost.
As for the first common cards in the new set, we had the Cullborn Revenant, which seems to be a good mage unit for the fire element, followed by the Stonebind Matron, which has a very high mana cost and some stats, low HP (4), but good speed and opportunity. Then came the Coralforged, which is an interesting tank for the water element, with 7 HP and 1 Shield, allowing the second unit to have reach. Now a common card that can be quite strong is Magma Forged, because it has a very low mana cost of only 3, a ranged attack of 1, good HP (4).
The next 20 Minor Chests weren't as good as the first, with no rare cards, but 5 commons, and 4 new ones. The first was the Coralforged, which had already appeared. Next, we have the Palimpsest Prophet, a low-cost melee unit that can attack from anywhere; then we have the Phlegmor Slime, a melee unit with sneak. From the Death element, we have the Grim Bonewhip, which doesn't have much defense, but at least has 2 melee damage with reach. Finally, I have Oshannus Unmade, which has no skill at level 1 and its stats aren't that absurd.
The last 20x Minor Chest opening was perhaps the worst, because there were a large number of slots that came from Merits and potions. Regarding the cards, only one was new, while the others I had previously obtained. The repeats were: 2 Grim Bonewhips, 1 Magmaforged, Stonebind Matron, and Saltwrath Bulkhead. The unique card was Husk of the Hunter, an Earth-elemental Undead with a very high mana cost (9), average stats, but a relatively high ranged attack of 3.
An interesting fact is that every 20 minor chests came with 2 to 3 entries, at least 1 energy, and 1 Common Scroll, which allows you to unlock a common card from this new Conclave Arcana Rewards set.
