Why Totems Can Potentially Be A Good Investment For Splinterlands

in LeoFinance2 years ago

Hi Everyone,

There are so many possibilities with Splinterlands sometimes I feel I can spend a day checking the markets, discord, splintertalk about the game. I rarely check the market for card prices or tokens but one thing did catch my attention the other day and it was totems. Totems were given as part of the raffle early this year when you have purchased land packs and it comes in different levels from common all the way to legendary. They all will be used when land expansion comes out but we aren't sure exactly how it will work. The only thing it is currently doing for many totem holders is collect airdrop points for SPS.

At the moment, totems give airdrop points from 1000 to 10000 depending on the level of the item. We don't know much about totems apart from the fact that they all each have a benefit to a plot of land when placed to some degree. Even with a common totem, it is better to have one over not to have one in a plot of land. Due to the uncertainty and scarcity of totems, the demand of them have been slowly creeping up and can be seen by the prices on Hive-engine. With common totems selling at $147, we probably see them go higher once land get released and be advised what these totems can provide land occupants. The next level up would be the rare totems with the last sold price at $288. A pretty big jump from the common totem price, pretty close to double. Again these buyers are not sure what benefit they are getting from these totems BUT we do know, it will me something good.

At the time when totem was announced, there was no estimated price place on them and it seemed like the market have decided what they are worth. To bring you to a trip down memory lane, you can see the original post about totems here. As you can see from that post, totems can also be discovered on land which is a huge incentive to hold land more tightly as you get a chance to find a goodie on it. If you check Hive-engine, there is currently no legendary totems up for sale and the last one sold was back in May which was 6 months ago. With only 200 legendary totems currently in the hands of players, it is definitely a valuable piece of the game, it may be the game charger for those lucky holders. Over 30k of totems are still with players, there is definitely not enough of them for everyone to have one on their land so if you want more totems for your land or if you are a collector, get them while they are still at reasonable prices.

I really want to partake in the splinterland but I don't know how to

Ive just been helping my sister get started. Its a bit of a grind at the start but if you buy/rent a couple of good cards it gets easier and you can start earning daily rewards. You will have to pay £10 for the spellbook to get started. You can use my referral link if you like : ) https://splinterlands.com?ref=basilmarples

Where is the best guide to getting started with spliterlands?

I recommend their official discord channel : https://discord.gg/UQgrtgKW
To start earning you need to spend $10 and purchase the spell book. $10 can be paid in fiat or multiple different cryptos.

What @mawit07 also suggested about joining the discord as we have a wealth of knowledge there from different players. Also check our splintertalk.io on blogs from players who play the game, you might find some gems there too

Hi, iam also playing the game. It's so cool👍👍👍.

Thanks for the reminder about these Totems, I just picked up a rare one hoping it will help my one plot of land.

Glad you got one, not sure what it does but I'm confident you won't be disappointed :)

Awesome post I had no idea totems existed. I have only been playing for a couple of months now and all of the income opportunities make my head spin. It has been fun and challenging playing Splinterlands.
I found your post very informative so I am including your post in my 5 gems post. You also picked up a new follower. Have an awesome week :-)

Great post, I'm still very excited to see what totems do. I was not able to secure land so I didn't bother with a totem yet but may consider getting one for a future flip.

I really want to get a piece of land but cannot justify it yet hoping they drop in price though I think that is highly unlikely at this point. Anyways thanks for the great post and look forward to reading more of your articles you gained a new follower 😀

You learn something every day. Thanks for the heads up, I have not even been paying much attention to Totems, and it's time to do some research!
