So, while playing Frontier mode isn't my priority as a player who's been here since 2021 I still do play it when I'm out of modern energy, trying to complete my Frontier set and while the battles are a lot simpler and less complex I do think that's a great way to show what the game is like to new players and not to overwhelm them with the full capabilities of the game, I remember when I first tried to play Splinterlands in 2020, I walked away because I thought it was too complex - to try again a year later with some more effort... and many, many years later here we still are! 😄
For readers outside of Hive, the Splinterlands Frontier Mode is free to play and you can start earning cards, level them up, get stronger, win more fights for better rewards and keep going. Recently a new set has been added to the Frontier mode, Starlight!
While Frontier is free, Starlight isn't... you can enjoy playing without them, it's just an extra! The cool thing about this is you can't just go in and buy the cards, you have to grind through the Frontier battles and hope you're lucky enough to not only get the usual two chests to open when you get 5 daily wins but get the jackpot reward as well, it's that nice purple chest on the right!
There's a 2% chance you will get it, among other cool jackpot cards you can earn and play with but when you earned one of these tokens, you can then buy the pack linked with it, for me it was the cheapest Sky pack that costed me 500 credits, worth $0.50
In my case, I swapped some Hive for Credits but you can also buy Credits with other crypto or your bank account.
This was only the second pack ever I opened, and I made sure to use Alchemy and Legendary potions to maximize my chance on pulling something cool from this pack, and it worked!
There was a legendary unit in it!
Because this set is pretty new, and there aren't a lot of these cards around I decided it would be better to sell it, there was another legendary card from this set on the market for $16 but I didn't want this sale to take really long and get competition from other sellers that pull this card, it was the only Master Bram on the market, so I put it up for $9.99
It took two days for the card to sell, but this morning I logged in to see I had more funds on my account, it sold! 😍
I received 19,649 DEC I then sent to my Hive wallet so I could swap it for SPS, when you climb up and get stronger in the full game, you will need staked SPS to earn more rewards and you need a lot!
Hive Keychain makes it easy to swap between different tokens on the Hive Blockchain, pretty cool I now have over 2500 SPS extra from playing the free mode, well of course it wasn't entirely free because I bought the pack for 50 cents but when you earn the Starlight token it's a waste to just let it sit in your account 😅
