Hive Games and Dapps just love to innovate dont they, take it from me its a task just to keep up with everything. Matter of fact I almost missed Ape Mining https://ecency.com/@cflclosers luckily pointed it out to me so thanks for that. I sent a Hive SBI to your account, also to another user but ill get to that latter. For todays write up ill be focusing on APE & APE mining, as well as Splinterlands & its new features, A KOGs unboxing, & a share your battle challenge.
## APE & APE mining
Yeah this is a mining simulation similar to a game just not fun, APE mining does not negatively impact the environment as its a simulation.
https://apemining.club/
In essence this resembles Roller coin though much more rudimentary as you utilize APE their crypto to get forms of mining in game that generate APE.
Not well polished yet APE mining has merit Functionally utilizing STEM as well as their HIVE alt APE is a great start. There is a form of king of the hill so to speak when it comes to the Mining forms in game.
You see ownership has its benefits
I like tis it gives another use case to STEM & it helps those new to crypto get just a little more info about it.
You can obtain APE from Hive engine or many of Hives other exchanges. APE is what you ill need to obtain the in game mining which will produce APE for your account when the snapshots are taken.

Thus far I have put 14 APE into this & 1 STEM not a bad daily return thus far.
## Splinterlands Update
Many have likely noticed some changes to Splinterlands, This is a result of Brawls 2.0. It will likely take a while for me to fully document, However I'm in a Guild that can eventually gain access to the new Gladius Case packs.
I will likely end up at least making our guilds market a LVL 1 soon even if I have to outright purchase it. I am in the next guild brawl right now otherwise I would have done it already.
I got promoted recently its the least I can do.
This isn't financially wise but its my way of paying back my guild for letting me join. Realistically I could trade that same 10,000 DEC for roughly $70 USD. The Gladius Cases or Cards can not be sold but I want answers not money.
In the pursuit of playing the game to the best of my ability, to put it simply I'm a fan of Splinterlands. Like any other game I'm excited to utilize the new update including both the market and barracks.
Unfortunately I'm not made of money so the Barracks will have to wait a little longer.
Despite my impatience the Brawls update like all the update from Splinterlands I'm glad I had to wait for as the mechanics I'm sure are properly tested. This is something players dont focus enough on it takes a great deal of effort to deliver a seamless experience.
Block chain games especially make this an almost impossible task so when its done correctly you have to marvel at the accomplishment.
To continue with the updates I have noticed thus far, slight changes or not.
So you will note there is a new card type in your in game inventory. Nothing to show off here yet but give it time & I'm sure I wont stop bugging you with new cards.
When ever I or my guild teammates can afford the barracks I will have to further explore the abilities granted to us there.
You see these guild upgrades get expensive and honestly it takes everyone to contribute what they can.
See the typical potions wont work on the Gladius cases so they have the Blood stones and Power Stones.
I will not be using those any time soon but asap I'm buying a Gladius Case to do an unboxing.
Speaking of and thanks to ADD here's my daily rewards Unboxing.
Not as bad today still a loss but it is also a possible profit as the prices of the rewards cards have been rising.
A little over 16,000 Dice packs left in the world, sad to see them go the best odds in the whole Splinterlands colection.
## Share your battle challenge
Doing another share your battle challenge, the last one worked out well so I figured why not go for round 2.
https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/share-your-battle-weekly-challenge-grumpy-dwarf
Above Is this weeks Share you battle challenge, like last time I record my battle share it on both Torum and Hive & follow the prerequisite rules outlined in the post. Note you can use any social media I just prefer those 2.
This share your battle challenge utilizes a singular card in this case Grumpy Dwarf.
Just because I'm nice like last time ill throw a card into the airdrop to let you do this weeks share your battle challenge.
Though I'm fairly certain you get a temporary version for new users but it has been months so IDK.
So as for my strategy shock and awe, a heavy tank unit up front with the Grumpy Dwarf in second position. After that ranged units.
Now the Rule sets made it so the Cards I have selected all get to attack same is true for the enemy.
Only even number mana cards can be summoned this does not apply to summoners. All Monsters get the opportunity ability ( this is why any card regardless of position with an attack can attack).
My Summoner is yet again my favorite Summoner Byzantine Kitty. Not that I lack selection of summoners.
Byzantine Kitty just happens to be my favorites as its extremely powerful.
First monster down the opponents (The Kraken) meanwhile mine has taken only 7 Damage. This is due mostly to my summoners abilities.
Still going strong with my Kraken having taken out 2 cards already while I lost some health and shields.
I think we all can tell who won this one, I will say this they did have good cards on the opposing team. The Kraken for instance is over $100 USD, because I'm in gold rank 3 I bring my A game.
Weather you believe me or not the Team I used has been beaten before as my cards are not leveled up.
So though a great combination It still is far from unbeatable, just not in this case.
The link to my battle is below

If I did everything correctly again, and put the link to this and my Torum post in the comments of this weeks share your battle challenge.
https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/share-your-battle-weekly-challenge-grumpy-dwarf
I will have the chance of getting my post curated by their curation services affiliated with Splinterlands.
My experience the curation is typically paid out in Hive and SPT. SPT is more what I'm interested in here as it applies to the SPS airdrop.
So get your battle shared sooner rather then later if you want to take advantage of that SPS airdrop.
My Torum account where I will be sharing this battle later on.
https://www.torum.com/u/chubb149
I intend on linking my Hive post in the Torum one so I have to include the link later in my comments.
## Hive SBI Units
I mentioned a while ago I would be sponsoring people that comment on my posts with Hive SBI. For my most recent selection I have chosen https://peakd.com/@geom & https://peakd.com/@cflclosers.
Not that I always can afford to do this and keep the airdrops worth while I appreciate all your comments questions and feedback.
# KOGs
Its Unboxing time as my frequent readers may recall, KOGs had a Pack launch recently.
Originally selling for a limited time window a few days ago for $25 now here is where it gets interesting. Since it was for a limited time and no one bought any there where only 1389 of these packs sold.
Effectively this makes this unboxing quite rare indeed, Now again the rest of the WAX market is more or less unaware of how the rest of RFOX project is unfolding. With RFOX vaults scheduled to start in less then 20 days, we have ranked matches up and running in the KOGS Game so these stunningly rare packs will become majorly popular.
With a price point already nearing $50 These KOGs packs will cost the most out of any other NFT collections pack I own shortly.
I bought some RFOX and have been stocking up on KOGs I hope I'm correct in my assumptions.
Now glossing over my panic attack lets do an unboxing.
Results 2 rare KOGs but there was a fake Stan lee cameo so I'm not a fan of that after his passing. These KOGs are different then other ones from this colection.
All super hero themed so I'm guessing the prices are different.
See the Thanos Rare KOG sells for $17-$19 meaning this almost covers purchase price.
Rest of the pack total loss I might break even maybe, However everything gets finalized maybe they spike.
I have 1,400 KOGs Credits in game I can not purchase real NFT packs in game yet but they do have ranked multiplayer started. I will have to mess with it when I get some free time, but you can see my account is now linked with a BSC wallet at the top on my profile.
## Single claim NFT airdrop URL
