How to earn money
The great popularity of crypto games comes in large part from the fact that you can earn money by playing. And so, let’s start with the 3 ways this game allows you to earn money by playing.
The first way is by fighting and winning dark energy crystals. At the top right you can see the amount of dark energy crystals you have, in my case I have 8,500 crystals, and I didn’t get them all by fighting, but I got most of them. The thing is, with these crystals, they are not worth much. It’s $0.03 per crystal, and you don’t get that many crystals at the lower levels, like novice or bronze, so you have to level up to be able to start earning a decent amount in leagues like gold, diamond or more. And so you can get a decent amount to make it worth playing. This is the first way, winning fights and getting dark energy crystals.
The second way is doing the daily quests and getting loot chests. Although to be able to do them, you have to pay around 10$ once to activate the daily quests. In the main menu in the middle right, you can see how it says sneak quest, and if you have completed it, how much is left to do the daily quest again and get the rewards. It resets every 24 hours and what you get are these loot chests, which vary greatly in price. You have a 33% chance of getting a potion, 33% chance of getting a card, 33% chance of getting a quantity of dark energy crystals, and 1% chance of getting a booster pack or a card pack. And all these rewards can be sold in the Marketplace right at the moment you get them for dark energy crystals and exchange the crystals for any crypto.
You can get one of these every day, but it’s not always going to be easy to fulfill the daily mission. But with what we will see later, you will be able to perform the daily mission easily with the tips we will see at the end of how to play.
The third is getting loot chests at the end of each season. In the main menu, at the top left you will see a counter that says season ends in and pending rewards with the rewards that will be given once the season is over. If you click on leagues, you will see the different ranks, and if for example, you are bronze, you will receive 9 loot chests. But if you have a higher rank like silver or gold, you will be able to get many more loot chests at the end of each season. For example, gold III with 22, gold II with 26 or gold I with 30 loot chests.
The season ends every 15 days, you can get many chests in a month, if you are in a good league. And if you are lucky, get a booster pack or some rare and good card for the game in the chest.
These are the main ways in which you can get money playing Splinterlands.
