Good morning Splinterfriends!
It's your buddy CaptainDingus 😃
I haven't had a lot of time to write - life is life-ing pretty hard lately and I am trying to focus on moving forward in several key areas and it's so very draining.
I'm pretty tapped out on the mental, emotional and financial parts of life but today I have a bit of time and I have the motivation to write a helpful piece for you guys!!
You may or may not know but during the Bear Market I managed to collect I few good Land Plots. However, having great Plots is only half of what you need to be successful on the Land side of Splinterlands...
The other half of the equation is of course - the Land Workers aka the Cards needed to Stake on the Land to "Work" it and receive the Rewards from it...
This sounds simple but as with all things, there are nuances to this that make it a bit harder to be really efficient with things than it may seem at first glance...
For many, we don't have a huge stash of GF Alpha & Beta Legendary cards we can throw around on Land lol
This means if we are going to start our Land Journey... we need a plan to be efficient with the Workers we buy, to ensure we get the most return for the investment!
Let me show you my simple guide on how I do that!!
Step One: Understanding efficiency
This part is critical - without this knowledge, nothing I tell you could have any relevance.
Pay attention!!! This is the single most important aspect of maximizing your efficiency and planning out your Workers!!
Did that get your attention??? Good - now focus. Don't ask questions. It's "Anime Logic"... just... go with it and pay attention to what's next.
I use a metric that I have called "The Gold Standard":
A Max Level Worker requires 10,000 Staked DEC.
The Gold Standard is a 1:1 Staked DEC:PP Ratio.
This requires a Max Level Card to provide at least 10,000 PP
The most abundant cards that do this are Chaos Legion GF Legendaries... hence the name "Gold Standard".
Step Two: Price Guidelines
Ok now that we have our "Gold Standard", let's set a pricing Guide...
This is pretty easy - go find out how much a Chaos Legion GFL is... I use @peakmonsters a lot so we will pull up their site and take a screenshot...
Ok - it looks like those GFL's are about $25/BCX or $25/CC using the new terminology.
It requires 4 BCX or 4 CC to make a Max GFL so $25 x 4 = $100 for a 10,000 PP Worker, which will yield an efficiency of 1:1 Staked DEC:PP...
Step Three: Rarity, Set & GF Boosts
Now that we understand the "Gold Standard" and have Pricing Guidelines ($100 for 10k PP)...
I keep this image saved on my Desktop for quick reference:
This allows me to search for various cards with different Rarities, Sets, GF etc
I hunt for those cards that will give me 1:1 Staked DEC:PP and are at or less than $100 per MAX CARD.
This yields the highest return on my investment when purchasing Workers!
It has helped me and I hope it helps you!
Final Thoughts:
Hunting these cards this way will seriously help your Efficiency and benefit you in the long run!!
Think about it... two Max CL Epics yield 2500 PP... Currently you can scoop 2 of those for $4.25 each...
$4.25 + $4.25 = $8.50
But you will also need 10k Staked DEC each...
$8.50 + 20k Staked DEC to get 2500 PP this way...
Compare that with the Gold Standard that I use:
$25 + 2.5k Staked DEC...
1 Card gets you the same results for about the same price!!
But in the LONG RUN... here's the KEY for this strategy...
A plot can only have 5 Workers... so let's look at the LONG RUN of our Plot...
5 Max Epics = 5 x 1,250 PP = 6,250 PP & 50k Staked DEC 5 Max GFL = 5 x 10,000 PP = 50,000 PP & 50k Staked DEC
This is of course just the raw data, no bonuses applied... but LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE!!!
Now go out there and MAXIMIZE YOUR LAND WORKER STRATEGY!!!!!
That's all I have for you today folks!! Thank you for reading and I would LOVE for you to join me in game!!
