In Splinterlands, the arrival of Exemplar tokens in one of the last updates of 2025 sent a very important message to players of this card game: Glint is becoming ESSENTIAL. A token that arrived relatively recently in the NFT game, compared to DEC for example, is already becoming fundamental to player progression. What started as a way to obtain items in the Reward Shop is now expanding into more categories. Come discover everything about it now!
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]
Why is Glint Becoming Essential? (Reward Shop)
The first essential use of glint, as many – if not all – Splinterlands players already know, is the Reward Shop, known as Gwen's Glint Shop. There, players use the glint earned in matches and at the end of the season to purchase one of several available items.
The first category of items are Rarity Draws, where the player can obtain a card of a specific rarity. The higher the rarity, the greater the amount of glint required. Thus, Common cards are 300 glint, Rare is 1500 glint, Epic draw is 15000, and finally Legendary Draw is 70,000. These values were cheaper in past seasons.
Next, another option to obtain cards is Loot Chests. There are 3 types: minor chest, major chest, and ultimate chest. In addition to cards, which have a 40% chance of dropping, the player will find potions, energy, merits, entries, scrolls, and if they are lucky, a JACKPOT! Finally, the last category is resources, which includes entries, merits, energies, and potions.
Why is Glint Becoming Essential? (Exemplars)
The Reward Shop feature was already well-known to players, but recently, in an update, we had the implementation of Exemplars, which is something totally innovative in any card game. An Exemplar is a way for the player to customize a card that will represent them in the game. The customizations are quite diverse, ranging from the element to the stats and even abilities.
The connection between the Exemplar and Glint is that to level up your Exemplar, you need to use the Glint token. This way, the player unlocks more points, as well as rarities and upgrades for their own Exemplar.
How to get more Glint?
Considering that this Glint token is becoming increasingly essential for Splinterlands players, for example in the Reward Shop, and now with the implementation of Exemplars, it is quite possible that its usefulness will continue to increase over time. Therefore, a question that everyone must be asking themselves at this moment is: "How to get more Glint?
After all, if more uses are created for Glint, it's normal for players to seek to increase the ways they obtain Glint. The first important piece of information is that you need to achieve a good rating in your matches, because they influence your base Glint. So the first tip is to have a good deck to get you to a rating that gives you a good base amount of glint with each win. If I understand correctly, there's a 1 bonus in the league bonus when your ranking is Gold 1+.
Next, we have the bonuses and other values applied to the formula that will impact your final total glint. The first is your Staked SPS, which gives an increasingly larger multiplier the more SPS is staked. The next is the bonus from rarity cards like gold foil, promo, beta, and alpha. There are also guild bonuses depending on the guild's Lodge level and finally land title prefixes. One of the simplest titles to gain the bonus is Warden, which gives 5% to those who have 5+ plots, if I'm not mistaken.
