RE: Splinterlands DEC values of potions
I'm not really sure what you mean by "on a pure DEC basis" but the bits you've bolded are really helpful.
I spent my first 5000 DEC on orbs and since then have saved the rest because like @qiuplet
I'm trying to just increase my DEC until I figure out what I'm doing
How long does it make sense to save up our DEC I wonder. 😁
It means that the analysis doesn't take into account the market prices of cards. This is how much the potions would get you if you opened packs and immediately converted all the cards you got to DEC. (Obviously in reality you won't be doing that.)
Ok. Thanks @tcpolymath. Let me see if I've got this right . . .
With the reward cards the only way using a potion would be profitable is if you happened to pull a card where you could turn it into more DEC than you could buy it for.
Reading through again I'm not sure about this bit either . . .
Why would you use the potion on rewards if you can chose not to? Is he referring to a scenario where the orbs have run out?
thanks for your help! 😁
A potion could still be profitable if you turned it into a card you could sell for more than the DEC you could convert it to. (For instance, in Beta, think about pulling a legendary summoner.)
Once you have a potion you can't turn it off. So suppose you had 50 orbs and wanted to open them and then do your daily quest and claim your season rewards, you would use 250 charges on the orbs and then have 250 left that went to rewards.
Ah. Thanks. That's really useful to know. I thought you could choose to use it or not depending on what you were opening.
I currently saving my DEC in order to get some potions so I need to think about when I add them in order to make the most of it. 😊
