My Terracore Journey
Hey Hivers!
TerraCore is currently one of my favorite Hive games. After Splinterlands, it is the game where I have invested more time and maybe money. Today I break the cycle of my daily diaries that I used to write only Spanish to share with you my Terracore journey.
I don't remember exactly how I learned about Terracore, but I followed the Twitter and Hive accounts before the alpha was launched back in March. I liked the concept, and I remember that I checked the Whitepaper. It didn't have a lot of info, but I liked what I read. I was actually the first person to sign up for the game after the alpha version was launched. @hivetrending beat me, but he was one of the early testers of the game.
I was also among the first to join the Discord server, but I am not very active there.
I started playing on the main site and quickly learned how the game works. I remember that the first few days, SCRAP was very scarce, and no one was selling. The price reached 2 HIVE per SCRAP, and I bought and sold a bit. Of course, this didn't last, and the price went down, but this is normal as many players are mining without reinvesting or improving their stats.
I enjoyed the game even more when I discovered TerraCore Hub. This is the best way to play it, you can even do it from your cellphone through Hive Keychain (in the internal browser). TerraCore Hub was developed by @asgarth, who is also the main developer of PeakD.com.
I've been playing every day for the last four months, and at the beginning, I was in the top 20 of the game. Quickly I started to fall off the ranks because I was selling most of my SCRAP, and I stopped increasing my stats. My lowest position in the ranks was around 80.
I also made an alt account just Terracore called @eddie.core. This account doesn't have good stats, but with my main account, I started investing, bought a lot of SCRAP, and managed to return to the top 20 and am now in the top 10 of the game.
I'm focusing on increasing my defense. For some time, users like @dewabrata, @chronocrypto, @ravenmus1c, and others were stealing a lot of SCRAP for me. Now, only four users on the top can steal from me.
Users like @acidyo have been my inspiration. If you check his stats, NO one can attack him. This means that all the SCRAP he mines is his. He also has the highest engineering in the game. He is mining over 200 SCRAP per hour. No idea how much HIVE he has invested in the game, but it is a lot.
Before I increased my defense, the Win / Lost ratio was very bad. It was around 50 / 50. Now that my defense is very high, I'm recovering that ratio. I have won more than 67% and lost less than 33%.
It's frustrating when you attack someone, and they dodge the attack, but it's something that I can also achieve. It depends on your stats.
The items or inventory is something where I haven't spent a lot of time or resources. I bought some items, but they are not the best. I've seen some users that have badass items that increase their stats a lot. I've also stopped buying crates because I never get something good. Boss fights have been bad for me because I lack luck. I tested the quest, but they are a bit stressful. They feel like gambling.
There are also very expensive items on the market:
I think that's all I can say for now. In two or four months, I'll make another big update. I'm unsure If I will be able to hold the top 10. I won't be able to invest much more into the game. I'll reinvest most of the SCRAP I earn, but I'm not even an Orca in HIVE, and for me to be in the top 10 of any HIVE game is a great accomplishment.
Big thanks to @crypt0gnome for developing a great game!

You are holding the top level in the game. I also joined the game last month and trying to grow my account. This game is fun and I am trying to explore more about it.
You posted only gaming content so is this a temporary change? Good day.
I think I'll continue with my diaries, but I felt like doing this post today. I've actually had a lot of updates on my personal life but I decided to take a break from posting. This is my first post in more than a week.
The Hive.Pizza team manually curated this post.
You can now send $PIZZA tips in Discord via tip.cc!
Great game! The open source nature of it caught my attention early on. It hit different than other projects. There was not a lot of hype, but it showed promise. And developers were welcomed to use the API to build their own tools; that created a very strong community vibe.
Seeing you as part of the testing and on Discord also gave me a good feeling about the game.
I still haven't thoroughly tested the other tools by 3rd party developers, but it is one of my goals.
Yeah I'm not too happy about the state of questing at the moment neither, wish they'd gamify it a bit more with options and graphics so it doesn't look like pure dice or something gambly. I guess you gotta remember it's all quite early and only one main developer on the game, but I hope they'll understand this means to let others test and play around with things before releasing them into the wild in the future, especially now with a lot more users actively playing.
I'm sure it can only improve but the main thing to keep in mind here is how the whole economy and everything is player controlled, something #web2 will hate when they realize what web3 games are gonna be about, although I'm sure most early web3's won't be as fair as terra and other games and just act like it to trick players.
Quests felt like playing @magicdice lol.
As you say, I think there is room to make something much better and more interactive. That would bring a lot of value to the game.
And yes, we are still very early, only 4 months if my math is correct. Imagine where we will be in a year from now.
Hopefully with more competition, especially for me, in the meantime I've started leveling up my first alt. xD
I wish, the devs would work together. We have Terracore and Golem Overlord as very similar games.
Rising Star and Stardom.
They could have easily worked together and united a fanbase/consumer base.
The same with a number of communities, which have the same topic. As a content creator, you don't know, where to post and when you post, you have a guilty conscience for not posting in the other communities.
Do you mean that they should make only one community for these type of posts?
Several communities are global. In my case, I published in Terracore community, but if I had written the post in Spanish, I would have posted on NFT Game Latino, a general community for NFT gaming posts, but in Spanish.
I don't know. I think we are too fractured. Perhaps I view the whole issue wrong.
I think that it is ok to have niches.
I like how made an alt and it's already stronger than my account after 1 day hah.
blame the sellers I guess, not that I've been buying that much anyway
why did you upgrade so much, I miss your scraps ☹️
You inspired me to improve my defense, bro. For now, you can milk @jonsnow1983.
Al más pendejo, nojodaaaa.
When you are talking about game I don't know much about that. I even don't know how to play or make investment etc. I think perfect guide line required for this which still I don't have.
I guess there are several tutorials, and there is also the whitepaper where you can read all the basic information.

I'm hearing about this game a lot. How much money you have invested till now and what is the minimum amount you need to invest to play this game?
I have no idea, I guess I could check, but it would be hard to do the math because the price of the token has been very different.
You can start with only 10 HIVE, which is what you need to create an account, and maybe put another 10 HIVE just to test and increase your stats a bit.
I joined terracore game two week ago, i am trying to learn it. I am trying to know ..what is best first in state to save my scrap. I liked the game .
Invest in attack and defense and the staking of the token and Engeniring so you can mine more.
Attack..i need to buy item..yes now i have plan to increase defence ang engeniring.... ۔.but one point i want to know.when i click battle..no idea about opponent..i am using desktop pc
