Soulbound Rush for Glint

in Splinterlands5 months ago (edited)


With the time ticking towards the release of the new Soulbound card set, everyone is scrambling to get their soulbound cards maxed out before they finish being issued.

The introduction of glints has helped people being able to focus on what type of card they want so that this should be easier to get the cards that you want. Although you can't pick exactly the card, at least getting a legendary or epic as you wish is much better than luck of the draw.


Overall I am most behind with Epic cards at 47% and they cost 5k glints each in the glint shop so are not cheap to buy either! With my glint earnings so far predicted at 15k, this could only be 3 epic cards and not even a single legendary!! This has got me considering to move to wild and try to ramp up the glint earnings. But would I be able to still get into Champ league there? Plus I would need to rent a load of SPS to boost earnings.


Of my epic cards, I have none maxed which is worrying and some like Noa and Eveyln are quite far from being maxed at level 3, so I have quite some way to go. The most useful cards for me here are Noa, Evelyn and Clockwork. Getting them max level would be really helpful.


Of the legendary cards, I am doing much better at 69% completion. I only have Musa maxed out, but a few others are quite close. I need one more Sorriel and 2 more Iziar and Usut to max them out. Finding the glint to do this is not so easy at the moment though.

The rest are also on level 3 which is quite good except for Kulu Mastermind and Skok. Both pretty good cards and Kulu is probably one of my favorite and most used. Getting him max level would be my top priority along with Iziar.


During the season I am using my glints to by Rare cards and so far I have completed 84%. I have maxed out Riverboat Captain, War Pegasus and the summoner Helios (who I don't think I have ever played). They are both 2 key cards for me, so I am happy with this progress.

The remaining cards are at level 6 or 7 and progressing well towards max level too. It can be abit frustrating when you spend 500 glint on a card that is maxed out and then burn it for just 100 glint back.. but that is how it works.

All of the non-summoner cards are pretty useful, especially Ravenhood, so I am pretty happy that I should max them out in the next short time.


Finally the common cards are all pretty much maxed out except Firecaller, I need 46 copies. I also need 5 copies of Coastal Sentry which is one of my most used cards and it would be good to get that knock out ability. Terraceous Grunt I need 2 copies and the rest are fully maxed out.

Gold Cards


I am still undecided what to do with my gold foil soulbound cards. I am far off collecting them all and the good thing to hold them is it increases your collection power. Although not considered (wrongly) by the game, is one of the key metrics for players in the game.

However, they could help me raise some much needed glint and get the missing regular foil cards that I need... what to do?!

Soulbound Unlock

The big upcoming question with soulbound cards is regarding the unlocking. Will it make sense to unlock the soulbound cards? There is talk that it would cost 10x the DEC burn value, which for me is totally crazy and would then make it totally uneconomical and be really annoying. I want to unlock the cards, not necessarily to sell or rent them, but just to have proper ownership and be able to do what I like with them. I think paying the DEC burn rate, possibly 2x the burn rate should be sufficient to unlock them, I am not sure why it needs to be 10x.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks for your support

Where did you get the 10x unlocking price from, that sounds way too high to me.

Should be zero cost in my opinion, after all did we not win the cards as rewards for battle

Yeah I agree. It doesn't make sense to me. I heard the 10x through the grapevine, I think in discord.

I do feel that even splinterlands Inc decides to unlock the SB cards, they'll only be exchangeable to Dec in a meagre Manner, let's say level 2 epic card for 10 DEC and a maxed out epic for 20 DEC, at least that's what I feel. Splinterlands are trying to keep the money in the system and almost all their decisions points to this.
For me, the previous reward system was just better for me, I only have one legendary maxed out and it's becoming hard to even increase their level with the glint reward system

It's very tough right now. SPS has crashed along with many crypto assets and the appeal of new cards isn't there because they don't hold their value. I am hopeful the team will pivot a few things and everything could turn around, the same as with Hive, it is easy to fix what is wrong.

Not so bad ☺️

@tipu curate

Thanks for your support, I do love these soulbound cards.

You seem to have a lot of great cards Steve.

Thanks! I am happy with the way the collection is going! 😀

I do hope you are able to increase your glint earnings soon and then max out all the epic and legendary cards. The Musa card seems like a very important one and maybe you should consider prioritizing which cards you should max out, like the really important ones. I wish you luck on your SPS game playing. Happy Sunday.

Thanks, it would be nice to be able to earn more Glint and max out all those cards I am missing. Happy Sunday!

I'm in a rush too to get things all maxed out, I'm pretty close except on a select few.... You've done pretty well there! I hope the unlock isn't some ridiculous number, that would be wrong. Plus is you want to max out a card after the fact it would be nice to be able to pick up a couple copies on the market. I'll keep grinding until the change!

Nice work. I too hope the unlock fee is reasonable as it would be a shame to not be able to unlock cards we have collected.

Really, we'll have to pay DEC to unlock the soulbound cards? I don't know, SPL has gotten really weird. But as long as you're still having fun, all is good.

Yeah, its disappointing if that is the case. I have adjusted massively with the new changes and still enjoy the original game so far. I am not into the land part or some of the other things.

Oh right, I still have 2 land that I'm selling
