Wow it has been another week, and therefore another post of my progress. While to everyone it seems like oh, just another posts. To me, the post number matters. As I am making 1 posts per week about this, in a nutshell this provides the time I took for this journey to accumulate the land. Post #5 basically means, I have passed the 1 month mark now. A bit insane, but I have been struggling and clawing my way through to buy a land. Somehow, it seems to reflect the real situation that I am facing right now of trying to buy a house to settle down in, and have to wait years, way way way longer than months. I guess, this might just be the rat race that everyone is talking about.

Now back to topic. In case you are new to what I am doing, I am a nutcase that got so attracted to owning a Land in Splinterlands, that I am intending to give it my all to get 1 Land. Yups! Land prices are mad now, but I believe I am even more mad than the price in order to have this goal!

As I make this post into a progress, the least I can do is have some structure to it right? So here is my attempt to have a bit more structure!

Progress

Current Price: 315 Hive
Current Hive: 299.605Hive
Progress (%): 95.11%

Each time I write this, I cannot help but bite my lips knowing that it was once sold at USD$10, sigh...

Now if you have been following my posts, you would realise that there is an insane bump in terms of my Hive. So, what happened? I changed out all my HBD and swapped them, that is what that happened. This is pretty much all my earnings now...

So whats up with me and Lands? In case this topic has been buried, time to excavate it once again. There are many interesting facts about Land, and perhaps every week I shall share one interesting fact as I showcase my progress.

It Is Going To Change Gameplay

Yes, you heard me right. There were many different new additions to Splinterlands, from the likes of Chaos Legion, to Brawl with Gladiators, to SPS. Never once have the game changed. It is still submitting your lineup and just wait. But upon the introduction of Land, THIS WILL CHANGE!

Land

Now to me, this is the really exciting one. The lands, are crazily split into many different segments, and it seems so cool!!!

Plots - A Plot is the basic unit of Splinterlands land. In all of Praetoria, a total of only 150,000 plots will be sold to players. These plots do not make up the entirety of the continent, but only the player-owned portions. There will also be a mix of non-player-owned land that is controlled by the game.

Tracts - A Tract Claim is a unit of 100 total Plots. Every Tract is guaranteed to contain 1 Plot with a Keep.

Regions - A Region Claim is a unit of 1000 Plots. Every Region is guaranteed to contain 1 Plot with a Castle and 9 Plots with Keeps.

Now these are for the whales. But for erm... peasants like me, I am more interested in this, 1 Plot!

Plot

Plots are the smallest unit of land. The purpose of owning a plot of land is to build
a building on it, which will cost resources to build, upgrade and maintain. There are distances between plots/tracts/regions. Because of this resources have to be transported, which costs time and resources.

All plots have 3 different properties, which will define what can be done on them and how. These are Type, Category and Rarity.

FYI these are not just random names that they come up with! These are actually matched in accordance to their Splinters! So for instance, a water splinter will be matched to River, and a Death Splinter matched to Swamp! Can you see the amount of considerations that is put into this? Even the name is so insanely exciting!!!

There will be monsters and summoners attached to the land! So, I believe what kind of land you have, will be closely related to the type of monsters you will need for the type of land you have!

This is but a mere fraction of land brings. If you are interested to know more, feel free to join me in this journey to accumulate 1 plot of land.

And with that, this is my journey thus far
