2 Quests 1 Rental, Cut Your Cost in Half!

avatar

With the prices of rentals jumping up by the day, I decided that renting every other day was a better idea. Since Daily Quests start about 24 hours after the previous one is started, you can cut your rental cost in half with this trick. I have done this twice since my last post, and averaged a cost of about 80 DEC per Quest plus DEC earnings from 30+ games at a time.

10-22
I started the rental process with about 300 DEC and had a water quest, so I picked up some strong water/neutral cards to fill out my 15k Collection Power. As always the water quest was a breeze.

Next I started the 2nd Daily Quest for the day and pulled a neutral quest and just used the same water cards, another easy completion

Nothing Special but by the time I knocked both quest out I was almost back to the DEC I started with and up 10 Collection Power. I kept playing till around 432 DEC @ about 65 % capture rate.

That day I also added some curation rewards to the OneUp-SPT liquidity pool. More on that later.

About all I did in game was collect my airdrop rewards. They are steadily climbing even if the value is currently dropping, I'm here for the long haul not todays profit.

Back to Farming, The quest that I know what it will be is an earth quest, so I just picked up Mylor and some random higher mana earth cards. Earth is expensive for the op cards, I spent 180 DEC compared to the 120ish I normally spend. However its still only 2/3 of the price per quest.

After Collecting the Rewards you can see that it is only 7.5 Hours until the next quest is available, making this strategy possible.

The 2nd quest of the day was Life, Instead of just renting I decided to buy 1 card since DEC was spiking back up a little bit. These 2 mana cards are super useful to have. I also Rented Chanseus the Great for those high mana games. The strat I used mostly was ShieldBearer, Silvershiled Knight, Divine Healer, and Venari Crystalsmith and other odd cards to fill out the team. The 3 summoners I used were Mother Khala for most games since she add +1 to the heal on ShieldBearer, Brighton Bloom for earthquake games as always, and as above Chanseus for the High mana games for his armor rep and revive.

Life Quest Reward: Messed up and clicked the background but it was Venari Bonesmith and 5 DEC

Sadly the day was cut short buy some real life stuff so I took a small loss on DEC for the 25 CP gain and by the time I got back my rentals had expired.

Oneup-SPT pool update:

Compared to the chart above I am down .6 OneUp , and up 3.33 SPT. I am still not sure how the HIVE Diesel Pools work, I think it pays to my hive wallet at about $.002 a day. Please tell me in the comments how they work.

Power and card value update:
10_26_card_value.png
The gains in this game just from holding cards between increases in value and the airdrop rewards, I feel this is the best spot to hold your value long term. Then there is the option to rent out cards as well, but I'm still just using them to save on rentals. I am up 70 CP since last week, and hope to find more ways to accelerate my growth in this ecosystem.

Questions I have:

  1. How do the Diesel Pools on HIVE work?
  2. What are some better ways to Make DEC/Gain CP?
  3. What can I do to make my blogs better/what would you like to see more of?
