Splinterlands Virtual Real Estate Updates: New Land Milestone!

Still a busy past couple of weeks for me. Though work is starting to slow down a bit, there are still a few matters I had to attend to.
It didn't stop me from checking my Splinterlands account though!
Multiple times in a day, especially during short downtimes, I would check the market, see if there's anything interesting for sale, and then go about my day.
While it's mostly the same stuff I see over and over again, sometimes you come across some good deals you'll have a hard time saying no to!
Should I just use that spare time to play Modern Ranked instead?
For now, let's begin this article with some Splinterlands Land updates.


Routine Harvest
Beginning with our plots in Region 46, Thalos, we get to harvest our land resources.
Natural resources are harvested two to three times per week while collecting taxes from Keeps is only done once a week. I do this typically on a Saturday.


Next would be our community Keep in the same region.



These resources from taxes will be used to further develop our guild: TeamPH.
We then head over to my personal tract in Region 50, Ia'telda. Almost the same procedure as last time, but we have to add one more step in order to harvest Aura.
Notice the Claim All button is grayed out due to the insufficient Stone in the region to do a full harvest.

We have to manually perform the claims for each of the available resources.

Once that is complete, we have one more step to do: obtain Stone for the region.

We know that we previously harvested plenty of Stone in Region 46. We will transport these resources in order to collect Aura in Region 50.
This can be done via Resource Swapping in the Trade Hub.


In case you don't have resources to transport coming from a different region, you can always swap your excess resources for what you need.
You can also use DEC to purchase these resources , if you prefer.


Aura is now claimable.


Moving on, let's see how much taxes we have collected in my Keep.



Still no totem fragments. Maybe next week!
I also have active plots in other regions. We will perform the same process for those except the steps for claiming Keep taxes as I do not own those Mythical buildings in those other regions.
The grain required for consumption will be supplied from my main region, Region 50.


Resource Swapping
Now that we have resources on hand, let's swap these for DEC. We can use the proceeds from selling our resources to acquire more assets for land or even use them to purchase cards for Ranked play!
I typically swap all of the natural resources I have accumulated aside from Grain. I use Grain to increase my position in the Liquidity Pool which we will discuss later.

I also earned the following in previous claims during the week.


I have made over 44,000 DEC this week alone! Last week, I was almost at 45,000 DEC!


Guild Updates
Similar to prior weeks, the taxes collected from the Region 46 Keep were converted to Guild Power and were used to power up our Guild's buildings.



LP Position
The typical final step of my Weekly Routine is increasing my position in the Grain-DEC Liquidity Pool.

My share is now at 1.243%.

Keep 'em comin'!

Further Developments: New Milestones
Per my last POST, I was looking forward to reach 100 active plots and 350 total owned plots.
I'm proud to announce that I have finally hit one of the goals - 100 active plots!

My current production lineup is as follows.

I was already at 350 owned plots at one point last week but due to a land-for-land trade I did with a friend, I ended up being 2 plots short of that goal.

No worries, though! I am glad I made this deal with Garute. He'll be able to take care of these plots better than I could.
I am confident I'll eventually find those 2 plots I want to finally hit 350 owned.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this article. I hope I was able to provide valuable information and impart some ideas that can help you decide your next steps. I have grown my Splinterlands assets over the years and I plan to keep on building!
Whether you prefer the exhilaration of playing battles, the calmness and idleness of building your digital real estate, or just the fun of collecting these fancy images of collectible cards, I am hopeful that you enjoy your time here in Praetoria!

100 active plots!!!!!!!
That's awesome mate congrats :)
Thanks! I plan to keep on building! :)
Modern is difficult these days, the bots are brutal. I always Cancel when the timer hits 40 seconds, as the bots are placed around 45 seconds in. There's definitely better things to do at the moment - and taking care of almost 350 plots is probably enough :-D Thanks for the update!
I love the peace and quiet in just playing Land. In a way, it's therapeutic for me lol. I bet not every one can say the same but sometimes it just works.
I am also a long, long ways away from working 350 plots. Owning, sure. But activating? Maybe 120.... 150? We'll see. I have DEC to spend anyway...
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for sharing! - @azircon

100 already???
wow that dang fast
!LOLZ !ALIVE
Yeah, bro. Just activating slowly. Little by little. 😉
I would love to learn. Do you have any guides for starting from scratch with land, for someone modest, I mean 1 or 2 plots?
Yes! Check this out!

Other players have decided to go for grain-producing plots only. This is because Grain is the basic resource that every land worker would need to consume (at least right now) in order to function. Workers in the Grain plot consume a portion of what they harvest so this is more of a set-and-forget approach. Just claim at least once a week right before the worksite hits max capacity.
Others would prefer to go the self-sufficiency route meaning they have grain plots, and they have others. All the grain the workers need can be self-produced. For example, 1 Grain Plot and 1 Stone Plot. Just make sure that you yield enough grain from your grain plot to feed the workers in your Stone plots.
Feel free to ask more questions! ;)
Excellent, thank you very much for this response. I would like to gather information to compare the profitability between one type of land and another, for example, a common plot of land with certain types of cards focused on producing cereals, and another plot of land with more advanced rarity, and see how this impacts production.
good planning and calculations
Thanks!

Great post, man!
Love seeing those Keep harvests—makes me really want to own one someday! 🤣
Thanks! When I started playing this game, I didn't think I would end up owning a Keep lol.
