Hello SplinterTalk,
I go by MuhSound and my ign# is @muhsound. I've been thoroughly enjoying Splinterlands. Here I am, two weeks in, and I can't get enough of Splinterlands. I'll tell you, it's really hard for me to get from bronze to silver, and my guess is it's dependent on not only strategy but on your decks. As a newcomer, I see the price of these cards, and I'm wondering how one can afford great decks. It looks as though leveling up and staying leveled up in Silver/Gold tiers can actually yield some decent cards with daily rewards and the likes. Of course in order to get there and stay there is a different story.
There are a lot of discussions about renting cards to get enough Collection Power (CP) for opening Silver and Gold Leagues. I was wondering how much it would cost to own the collection power so I wouldn't have to rent. Well, it' a lot of money and surprisingly not a lot for the Tier 4 cards. I went on PeakMonsters and took the cheapest Buy-It-Now Gold Foil card price of each Edition and Rarity, and I put together a list of what $1 USD spent will get you in CP. I also highlighted the top 5 bang for your buck editions/rarity. I believe the information is correct to the best of my knowledge. These prices are from midday Nov. 19th 2021. Unfortunately, I didn't get the card names but they were the cheapest if you sort by cheapest. Of course this will change with time, but for now it might be valuable to some. And if you can get a better price by bidding you're winning! Also, let me know if you'd like a list put together for non-Gold Foil. If there's enough interest I'll do it.
Cheers and enjoy!

Hi muhsound, thanks for making this effort for the community 😀
On PeakMonsters there is a way to compare all cards in the market by CP value per dollar. It seems like it basically covers what you're doing.
Just want to spare you the hours of effort in case you keep going 😋
Holy!!! That is a super useful tip. I didn't see the compare button before. And, they even have a "Best CP/Cost ratio" in the "Compare by" drop down. Amazing! Thank you tons! Well, I guess that settles that.
Hello, @muhsound! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive - congratulations and welcome! It would also be awesome if you could do an introduction post, so our community can get to know you better. For information on how to write an intro post, please check out the SELF INTRODUCTION section of the post 3 things Newbies should do in their first week on Hive.
Speaking of community, we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - Hive Communities . I see you already found Splinterlands, and you might be interested in the Hive Gaming Community as well.
Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched Newbies Guide should be helpful to you, as it is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works.
Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers.
Since you're new, you may run into an RC (Resource Credits) error when trying to comment/post because you don't yet have enough Hive in your account yet. For assistance with a temporary delegation to get you started, be sure to check out the Gift Giver site.
For now, @lovesniper will follow your account and we are looking forward to seeing your intro post. Also, please mention (also known as tagging) @traciyork & @lovesniper in your intro post in order for us to be notified, so we can consider your post for OCD curation. Lastly, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server if you have any questions!
Hello @traciyork & @lovesniper,
Is it that noticeable that I'm a newb 🤪?
In all seriousness, I really appreciate the information you supplied. Hive and SL are taking a little getting used to, and any information is very helpful. Thank you!
I will be checking out the self introduction section, in which I'll properly make a introductory post. As well, thank you for the newbie links, and discord link. I will check it out. Much appreciated.
Abuse and plagiarising should not be a problem with me. As for the RC error 😑, I experienced it with SL. I believe I should be good on that front. I think...🙂.
Again, I truly appreciate all the helpful information.
Thanks again for the reply!

LOL! The Love Sniper team has a Discord feed that lets us know when people post for the first time, so no worries about looking like a n00b, @muhsound. 😂
If it makes you feel better, I've been here for over 4 years, and still find things a bit confusing (which I why I like helping with this new Hiver initiative).
Here's another tool you might find helpful, for checking your RC level -

I've heard that SL eats up lots of RC, so you might want to power up a bit more, if you can. But since you're already down so low (22% when I checked), I've delegated a small amount to you so you don't run out completely.
And last bit before I completely overwhelm you with info (too late - lol!), the HivePizza crew is pretty awesome and active with SL guilds (as well as other Hive games). If you pop by their Hive Pizza Discord, be sure to tag me in the !PIZZA general-chat room, so I can say, "hi!" 😊
You are too awesome! Thank you so much for the RC delegation. You're too kind. I had an issue trying to get tokens through Hive, and then I couldn't play the game. I think it was under 10% at one point. It has been a journey. Any information is much appreciated. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought time will bring RC back? Does it also make a difference how much is staked?
Thanks again for all your help and information with the site. Lots of new concepts. It will take a bit of time for it all to sink in, but I guess that's normal, 😅.
Funny because right after I replied to lovesniper I read a post about the lovesniper being a bot 🤷. I do appreciate you responding back however, 😂. Tons of good information.
Haha! Love the name of the HivePizza Crew. I'll definitely stop in from time to time. I don't know how to tag just yet, but I'll try my best to say Hi once I find my way there 🤣. Thanks agian for everything!
@traciyork I hate to bother you, but I have another newb question, lol. I've been trying to change my profile picture and for some reason the website (both splintertalk and peakd) will not update. The image is 256x256 and it's a .jpeg. Just wondering if you knew what I'm doing wrong?
As well, are there was to direct message people?
Thank you for any information regarding this.
Hey again @muhsound! I said shout out with any questions, so no worries. 😊
It's been a minute since the last time I had to figure out profile pic issues, but I get the feeling you're trying to directly upload the image, and it needs to be hosted elsewhere (which I know is confusing when the button just says, "UPLOAD").
My current avie is hosted on my WP blog, but my workaround back in the early days was to upload it to a post draft, copy the link, then put the link in the "Picture" field on PeakD (which also recommends 512x512 for the size). 😂
Also, the hive.blog FAQ uses Postimage as an example of a place you could host your image.
If that doesn't work, please let me know and I'll do some digging.
Oh, and as for the direct messaging thing - there is something called "Bee Chat" through PeakD, but it hasn't really caught on since most people are still using Discord to talk offchain. If you have a specific person/app you have questions for, let me know and I can drop some Discord invites for you.
Thank you, Thank you!
Perfect, that's what I needed to know. I should be able to figure it out with this information.
As for DMing, I'll just get more involved on Discord. That seems easy enough. I really appreciate all the information you've supplied. Thank you tons!!
