How Can You Maximize the GLINT You Earn Every Day in Splinterlands?

Best regards Splinterlovers 💚

Yesterday I published a post about how we could generate cash flow by focusing on earning DEC through the “Golden Sheets” cards from the “Arcana Conclave” rewards edition by purchasing “Draws.” In my calculations, I came to the conclusion that if we want to earn DECs at a relatively steady rate, we need to earn a significant amount of GLINTS, because “Draws” give us only one card, and the odds improve the more draws we make. However, this isn’t for everyone, since it requires a lot of GLINTS, and the reality is that if we focus on “Chests,” we could do much better.

But that’s a matter of internal strategic planning. However, the other side of the coin is trying to earn as much GLINT as possible and deciding what to do with it later. That’s why I want to write this post. Even though I’ve done this before, it’s necessary to explain these kinds of things again so that as more new players join, they have up-to-date information. Because even though I’ve shared this information before—and this post is probably from months ago— so, in this post, I want to explain how to increase the amount of GLINT you earn and collect as much as possible.

So, in this post, we’ll look at how to increase our GLINT earnings—specifically, what steps we need to take to achieve that, and most importantly, when to spend the earnings once we’ve accumulated them, assuming you’ve already set your goals. I’ll cover that as we go through the post, so without further ado, let’s get started:

What's the first thing you should do to increase your GLINT earnings?

I’ve mentioned this several times, but as I said, it’s essential to repeat it because many new players may not have seen it—that’s why it’s crucial to keep all of this in mind, but pay close attention because the goal is for you to have most of these elements in place for the “Strategy” to work. If you don’t meet these requirements, you won’t earn enough GLINT to buy “Draws”—which, remember, only give you a single card—while chests can give you many cards at random, even if they’re of different rarities.

So, to start, let's first look at the requirements and everything you need; after that, we'll see what steps to take to achieve this, since the requirements are one thing, and the actions we need to take are quite another:

Recommendations Above ALL Else

• Staking SPS: The first and most important thing you should keep in mind to earn more GLINT in the game is to stake as much SPS as you can. The reality is that there are no limits—the more you have, the better, because your reward multiplier increases; I’m referring to RSHARES. I’d say a decent MINIMUM amount to start with and earn as much GLINT as possible is 100,000 SPS, but, of course, you should have more than that.

• Deck of Cards: Of course, the second most important thing you need is a deck of cards. You can’t go to war without a weapon to fight with, and in this case, your weapon is the cards, so you need a deck. While it doesn’t have to be the most expensive one out there, you do need what are called “staple” cards—that is, “essential” cards that work in various battle scenarios.

• Know how to play: Even though it might sound silly or obvious, the reality is that if you want to earn as much GLINT as possible, you have to know how to play. To do this, you need to understand the modifiers and battle rules, as well as the abilities, combos, and strategies that will help you go on winning streaks—which are what earn us the most GLINT each day. If you’re new, don’t worry—you don’t need extensive knowledge. You can easily learn the basics in a week and keep practicing from there.

What steps should we take once we have met all the requirements?

This is where things get interesting, because there are many options available in the requirements. For example, regarding the deck requirement, you can rent a deck, and the same goes for SPS, however, you need strict control over your income and expenses so that everything balances out perfectly, since the goal is to avoid losses. And, of course, to earn GLINTS, you need to invest, in addition to deciding which “Format” you’ll play and other factors. Although that’s a topic for another post.

At this point, the key is to take action, and if we want to maximize our GLINTS earnings, we need to realize that we have to take this seriously. By that, I mean the consistency we need to maintain as players, because the season lasts about 15 days, and the goal is to play every single one of those days—though it might be tricky due to energy limitations. However, there’s a strategy for this. So, with that in mind, once we meet the requirements, here’s how to proceed:

Implementation and Steps

• Kicking Off the Season: You need to start playing as soon as the season begins. This will not only allow you to climb the ranks in your league but also help you make the most of the time when you can earn the most GLINT per battle won. Remember, the more GLINT you earn, the more you’ll receive at the end of the season. Before that, you should already have your rentals ready as soon as the season starts—in other words, once the season begins, you’ve rented your cards and the SPS and started playing.

• Use the GLINTS you’ve earned to buy “Energy”: As I mentioned earlier, the problem with playing every day is that you’ll run out of energy, so here you have two options: either don’t play all 50 battles so they have time to regenerate on their own, or buy energy in the store with the GLINTS you’ve earned, however, the best part is that you can combine both approaches—first, because that way you spend fewer GLINTS on energy, and second, and more importantly, you’ll be able to play every day without any problems.

NOTE: With this, you can now get started and maximize your GLINT earnings. Of course, there are more details I haven't covered here—for example, the topic of rentals: which decks to rent, which ones are the cheapest, and where we could earn the most GLINTS, etc. However, if you'd like more information like this, feel free to comment on this post.

Conclusion

I hope this post has been helpful to all those players who want to maximize their earnings in GLINTS. While these may seem like basic concepts to more advanced players, the reality is that for new players, this information is worth its weight in gold. I hope you can make the most of it, and if you want to learn more about this, feel free to comment on these posts.
