Get ready for more major stuff to happen on Splinterlands! The announcement for Conclave Arcana is around the corner and should drop very soon. If I were to guess, it will come a few hours before the Town Hall on Thursday (or maybe tomorrow), where I suppose the new set will be the main topic of discussion.

But guess what else we should be expected very soon... The first use case of Land for the rest of Splinterlands! More specifically, a new resource produced on land (not from the whitepaper!) that will be used to create an item needed outside Land and purchasable from the non-card market, so outside the Land game! That means we will have the first 100% player-produced new item in Splinterlands that Land owners can sell to other Splinterlands players. That's way before we will have item and spells on Land, likely in a few years time.

Here's his entire update (especially useful if you are not a Land Barron):

Also this should be important:

From 4 we find out that we will have a **new item in the non-card market** that will be created exclusively on Land.

From 5 & 6 we find out what you'll need to do to create the new item... There will be a **new resource on Land** (which @cryptomancer code-named "A" in his message), which will be **produced by a new worksite**.

The new worksite is already in internal testing... 

Also, it seems like research is being prepared for something, if we look at points 1 & 2, and if we note the secretive answer he gave when he was specifically asked about research later on. I believe we will soon have a use case for research too.

I'm glad I focused quite a lot on Research before 1.75, when it was the cheapest to add those research points. It is still acceptable to add more research points compared to what will come in Land 2.0, when it will be almost impossible for mid-level land owners to add more to Research unless you focus specifically on that and use resources from the market.

For now, I'll hold on to making any more moves to my land plots before we have details on the new worksite/resource (by the way, it works on all land types) and item, to make better informed decisions then.
