Did you know that Splinterlands has a Free Play feature. With all the other stuff going on within the Splinterland universe you might of overlooked that most awesome fact. Stuff such as Splinterlands daily tournaments. Stuff such as the multiple different variants of LAND and its mining goods. Stuff such as Ranked play. Stuff such as Splinterlands Rental Market. Stuff such as the Splinterlands practice mode. Stuff such as the governance token known as SPS. Stuff such as the trading of out-of-print packs on TribalDex. Stuff such as getting the USD value of $1/1000 DEC from Splinterlands even though we can sometimes purchase DEC on secondary markets for much less. Stuff such as, well you get the idea. There is no shortages of ways to have FUN with Splinterlands. There's certainly no shortage of ways to earn rewards with Splinterlands. So if you didn't know about the Free To Play option FRONTIER its understandable. No worries, sit back, relax and your good pal @rentmoney will inform you. Below we will go over the Free to play features and limitations. No worries those limitations are easily lifted by the way of attaining a Spellbook. Below we will also go over the benefits of owning a Spellbook. Are you ready, buckle up because here we go!

Nice tutorial. These posts are good for the community. I've been all in chasing foundation cards. Not sure where I will take that once I max the foundation cards. I bought into land early on but bailed and sold everything. Didn't really see where it was going. It will probably come back to kick me in the ass at some point. Some kind of deal where I can't compete in ranked play anymore without something from land...

Thanks,

I purchased a few Foundation cards but only just started the journey. Splinterlands been developing into a very large ecosystem with much to choose from. I'd imagine there will be always something to do even if one doesn't own land.

I've just been earning the foundation cards. They stack pretty quickly if you play every day.

Free to play is a grind and and really boring. If anything it deters people from spending money on the game. The problem is the rich kids noob farming. No amount of skill can beat a rich idiot.

Land well you can forget about that if you are a noob as you have zero access. Likewise you can rent f-all unless you "invest". Selling is not an option if you are noob too as everything valuable that you get as a reward is soulbound or in the frontier class and worthless/unsellable.

To attract new players the devs need to see how negatively the game presents itself to new players. lack of interaction by the community team doesn't help either.

Have an uptick for making the effort to write though. :D

I don't know. I think the free format is working.....

A quote from you:

https://hive.blog/splinterlands/@sugarfix/newbie-wins-splinterlands-battle-against-all-the-odds

I mean really really new. I actually started playing just over 2 weeks ago. I signed up back in July 2024 but didn't play due to the fact that I was unwilling to fork out for a spellbook without actually trying the game. The Frontier format gave me the opportunity to play with no cash involved so I gave it a try. The freebie pump worked.




Land well you can forget about that if you are a noob as you have zero access.

There's land for sale in-game and plots for sale in TribalDex.

Selling is not an option if you are noob too as everything valuable that you get as a reward is soulbound or in the frontier class and worthless/unsellable.

Noob or OG we all pull from the same reward pool.

Likewise you can rent f-all unless you "invest".

If invest you mean purchase the spellbook/ packs or purchase individual cards, shouldn't it work that way? If everything was completely free play nothing would hold value.

To attract new players the devs need to see how negatively the game presents itself to new players. lack of interaction by the community team doesn't help either.

I haven't been to discord in awhile but when I was there was always team members available for a chat. Has this changed recently?

No amount of skill can beat a rich idiot.

Skimmed a few of your posts and seen you been doing well with low level cards vs. maxed out ones. I would argue that no matter how good someone plays level ones should not be able to beat level 10's aside from someone with level 10's that has no clue how to play. Its not likely someone with level 10's would fall into that category. The fact the devs built a system that such is possible is friendly to those who play with low level cards. What things would you like changed/ introduced for improvement for newbies? Suggestions?

Side Note:

I have plenty of level one OG cards. Give my collection a look and give me a list of five or so cards and I'll delegate them to you to help you on your journey. Provided they aren't rented out. Could likely delegate a legendary beta/ old reward card or two (I think I have some of them not on the rental). They are only good in wild. I likely have a couple level 2/3 units from the old beta/reward collection. Let me know.

It’s great to see how the free-to-play option gives a taste of the game before getting the Spellbook. Splinterlands has such a fun and growing community.
