Greetings Splinterfolk! 

The purpose of this [series of posts](https://peakd.com/@kuhnchun?filter=splinterlandsjourney) is to record my *investment* in Splinterlands and to ultimately determine if it was worth it or not.

I began my Splinterlands journey at the beginning of October 2021 after reading an article about the Play-to-Earn genre in the NFT world. Due to my love of trading card games, I was naturally drawn to Splinterlands. Before I knew it, I found myself with several accounts and spending a good couple of hours playing everyday. 

The first couple of months was devoted to playing everyday and alternating on which accounts I played in order to maximize the daily rewards and ECR. Before long, I managed to turn $70 into $400, which is $330 profit or 471% ROI. Read more about it [here](https://peakd.com/hive-13323/@kuhnchun/my-splinterlands-journey-473-roi). 

At the beginning of 2022, I switched jobs and found myself with little to no time for Splinterlands. Fortunately, there are multiple ways to immerse yourself in the game. While I no longer had the time to juggle multiple accounts and play regularly, I was (and still am) able to blog about my experiences and manage my assets. For example, I decided to *invest* into the newly released Chaos Legion set. Read more about it [here](https://peakd.com/@kuhnchun?filter=clexperiment).

Not much has really changed since [my last update](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@kuhnchun/my-splinterlands-journey-or-3002percent-after-9-months). The total value of my assets has decreased by an additional 4%. I did start a new initiative where I *invest* in rental cards to earn passive income, which you can read about [here](https://peakd.com/@kuhnchun/posts?filter=marketmondays). Hopefully, it proves to be fruitful and inflates the overall value. I am excited for Riftwatchers as I plan to pump my SPS holdings into the set. 

![My Referral Program.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kuhnchun/23vhApDLB7im8K6zeZuu4YYqfYU1wGqqG8VSfA4t7Pa5uQ7TrkUDetd9MRrAriLrCNd2K.png)

While Splinterlands does have a referral program in place, it only benefits the referrer and not the referee. Therefore, it is up to us (the existing players) to create our own referral program to help new players enter into the game. Here is how mine works: 
- Sign up for Splinterlands through my referral link [here](https://splinterlands.com?ref=kuhnchun).
- Once you buy the **Summoner's Spellbook**, I will receive 500 credits ($0.50) which I will use to buy DEC, cards, or both to help you start your Splinterlands journey.
- All you need to do is comment below the IGN you used to sign up with. Once I have verified it, I will reach out to see what you would like to spend your $0.50 on and then send it over.
