RE: "Splinterlands" + "Drug Wars" -- Power Strategy Tips #40
SUNSHINE!
Hey. 😍 First, GET BETTER. And don't worry so much about us, we'll be here when you get here.
OMG. I think I've mentioned it before, but just having the incentive of getting to open a pack every morning and every night (rather than a huge open when you purchased) is LITERALLY enough to make me get out of bed every day. 🤣 I'm good at this 'slow drip' of addiction too. While others get itchy fingers and open them all at once. #youarethemaster
Thanks for the well-wishes. It's a daily struggle right now, but I'm working on solutions. The main problem is that I make my survival income on the computer, which REQUIRES that I sit/stand for hours per day, without the necessary time to rest properly. I have some sedatives (ex. Valium) that at least take the edge off enough to function for the time being - as opposed to not taking those, in which case I may be down (both physically and mentally) for a full day. One day at a time right now. I'm working on solutions. Some additional work/income right now would help me dig out of this abyss faster.
As for the "morning" and "evening" packs, yes, I agree. I usually do 5 - 10 battles BEFORE opening the "morning" pack, just in case I get into a rut, since the packs act primarily as a MORALE-BOOSTER through the rough spots. You'd be surprised how the frustration of losing several battles in a row melts away when you take a 5 minute break to open a legendary Untamed card in a "morning" pack. The "milestone" packs (upon reach each new higher level of the season) also provide a significant motivation to push on to hit the next level, and can ALSO be used in the same way as the other two packs. I also started opening a "season start good luck pack" after doing the first battle of the season, since completion of that battle results in usually 26+ season cards, and so that's perfect justification to open that first pack when the season starts. I think I have the "pack quantity and pacing" right at the proper level. One additional focus now is to start buying additional Untamed packs if/when I get any of the high-value legendary that I am already maxed out on. I need to find a way to have a, let's say, "quarterly" boost of Untamed packs to keep the pacing strategy going. I'm still way high, at 410 packs, but want to try to figure something out as that number goes slowly down. 410/3 = ~ 136 days ( of pack opening with the current pacing strategy of two per day, plus the (overestimated) 3-4 "milestone" packs per week. Perhaps another of my crypto (alt) holdings will go up enough to justify selling that for some booster rounds of new Untamed packs. I will keep up with this over the next three months.
