The theme of the Splinterlands Community Engagement Challenge ended up being the same as our last content, which was the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge, in which we discussed the new set of reward cards from the Conclave Arcana collection, a set with 43 new cards that could end up completely changing the meta of this nfts card game. In addition to the new cards, we also talk about the new mechanics for unlocking cards with the Unbinding Scroll, the details of the new collection and the updates that will arrive in Card Draws and Loot Chests, check out the previous content to understand these important points.
However, even though it was quite complete, there was still talk about something new that will arrive with the Conclave Arcana Reward Set, which are the Weekly Fortune Draws, a mechanic that appeared, if I'm not mistaken, in the new game mode called Frontier with the Frontier Entries and which will now be adapted into something broader. Curious to know what Weekly Fortune Draw is and the importance of SPS in this system? Come and learn everything about this new system 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]
Weekly Frontier Draw
Not long ago, the new game mode that would have been aimed at beginners, Frontier Mode added two very interesting ways to reward players. The first is the simplest, which is a Daily Reward, with some cards as a reward if you win 5 games that day. The second was the slightly more complex Weekly Frontier Draw, by winning matches in Frontier mode the player will win Frontier Entries to participate in the weekly Frontier Draws that will award 76 random players a rare card from the Foundation collection that can be Black Foil, Gold Foil Arcane or even a Black Foil Arcane.
This mechanic is interesting because it encourages the player to stay active in Splinterlands, playing matches every day in search of 5 victories, thereby making them return to the game, guaranteeing recurrence through a reward. Furthermore, if the player sees that he is having difficulty winning matches on the day, this will end up leading to a cycle in which he will look for ways to improve to win more quickly, but as a result he will end up facing new opponents and will therefore need to improve again. The effect this will generate is a greater search for foundation cards to level up your deck and content for tips and guides to improve it.
Weekly Fortune Draw
After understanding the context of how the idea came about, let's now discover how Weekly Fortune Draw works. Initially the player will need a Speebook to participate, costing 125 DEC weekly to participate in the weekly draw, in other words, the difference to Frontier is that even before you think about the Draw Entries you already need to pay in advance to participate, and if you don't win anything, you actually ended up losing a little DEC.
To obtain Fortune Draw Entries, the player will need to win ranked matches, at least 5 to 3 times a day, in Modern or Wild modes. This is the main way, as players already participate in ranked duels every day, but it will also be possible to get draws in loot chests or by purchasing with glint in the Glint Shop.
SPS Stake Factor x Fortune Draw
In Weekly Fortune Draws, there is an SPS Stake factor that is very important for acquiring Fortune Draw Entries. The number of tickets a player will earn from their 5 ranked wins will depend on their League/ranking and their total SPS stake, which is what they have staked and what they have delegated.
The number of entries will be the lowest value between the total SPS staked and the league the player is in. The image shows how this division will initially work, with the SPS stake ranging from 2500+ with 1 entry to 30 entries with 5M SPS staked. Leagues range from Bronze with 3 entries to Champion with 30. For example, if you're in the Silver League (6) and only have 10k SPS staked, you'll receive only 2 entries upon completing 5 ranked wins. I believe that, as mentioned, it's up to 3 times a day, so this amount will be multiplied by the number of times you achieve the 5 wins, with a limit of 3.
This addition, like the Weekly Frontier Draw, will encourage players to be more active in Splinterlands, aiming to achieve the 5 wins in Modern and Wild every day. The SPS factor will encourage players to accumulate more tokens or rent more SPS to increase their total SPS holdings and avoid being limited by the SPS amount.
This could ultimately impact demand for SPS if a significant number of new and existing players seek more SPS. Perhaps more incentives to stake the token could help SPS recover after the recent Crypto Crash, which briefly plunged the token below $0.007. Currently, the token is at $0.0073, still a bit far from the $0.01 it reached mid-year.
