Almost two weeks have passed since my last [Play2Earn Highlight overview](https://www.publish0x.com/play-to-earn2/play2earn-highlights-easter-update-breaks-lost-relics-gods-u-xvwngoj?a=nXe0gNqVdx). As announced then, I spent more time playing and less time writing. But there have been some things going on that I would like to share with you in a short digest.

[Binance](https://www.binance.com/en/register?ref=WJEDKVIR) just [launched a TLM launchpool](https://www.binance.com/en/support/articles/8d10c09ef69e4287ba01d8840178fcfd). This is fantastic news for every player of [Alien Worlds](https://alienworlds.io/). The game’s native token Trillium (TLM) can now not only be earned on [Binance](https://www.binance.com/en/register?ref=WJEDKVIR) by staking BNB but is also guaranteed a listing on their exchange (only applies to BSC and ETH versions of the token, not for the WAX version).

While you can already trade TLM on the [Alcor DEX](https://wax.alcor.exchange/) a market on [Binance](https://www.binance.com/en/register?ref=WJEDKVIR) creates a whole different outlook for the token’s price development and trade volume!

# [Lost Relics](https://lostrelics.io/)

[The bug that took Lost Relics offline](https://www.publish0x.com/play-to-earn2/play2earn-highlights-easter-update-breaks-lost-relics-gods-u-xvwngoj?a=nXe0gNqVdx) took an entire week to fix but now the game is back online (only the in-game chat seems to be still off but that might just as well be a blessing). With the game back online the [Easter Event](https://medium.com/lost-relics/easter-2021-d74feffbaf2a?source=rss------ethereum-5) launched and will be active until April 17th. During the event you can collect an egg currency in the dungeons (in addition to gold coins) that can be traded for goods at the bunny’s event shop. You can also find and open special golden eggs that have a tiny chance of containing super rare loot.

So far, I have cracked open about three dozen golden eggs but all of them were empty. As for the regular eggs. I traded 200 of them for a bunny, falsely assuming that would be a pet and later realizing it is a chocolate bunny consumable replenishing only some health and energy.

The other items in the Easter shop are ridiculously expensive, especially when considering that all of them are virtual items (meaning you will lose them, if you die in a dungeon). The only blockchain item is a pet for 12,000(!) eggs that can be purchased by paying premium(!) members only.

Consequently, I am now selling all regular eggs for gold (they still fetch a decent price of 10 gold coins per egg) rather than saving them for the Easter items.

The update also seems to have changed the drop rates. Since the eggs started dropping, I did not mine a single blockchain gem anymore. I mentioned in the [last report](https://www.publish0x.com/play-to-earn2/play2earn-highlights-easter-update-breaks-lost-relics-gods-u-xvwngoj?a=nXe0gNqVdx) how nice it was to get these as almost all other blockchain items seem to be out of print, so it is a huge letdown that all you get now are (empty) golden eggs.

To make up for this, the drop rate of gold coins was heavily increased. I am not yet sure whether I like this. Before the update, I would complete a dungeon with about 10-30 gold coins. Now, I am emerging with 50-80. If this continues after the event, inflation will surely follow.

You have to acknowledge, however, that the sole developer did a great job with fixing the games scaling issues. Before the Easter update the number of players online exploded from 500 to 900 in a couple of weeks, causing lags and frustration. Currently, there are 1,400 players online (what a huge increase directly after the downtime!) and the game still runs smoothly.

In all of the Easter news, one huge announcement can easily be overlooked: Enjin launched the Ethereum scaling solution [JumpNet](https://enjin.io/blog/jumpnet). The Lost Relics dev just got his developer access and is now integrating the game with the new chain. While only newly minted Lost Relics items will be minted and stored on JumpNet for now, there could (and possibly will) be a bridge for existing items as well, later on. Great news is that Cliff (the developer) dropped between lines, that he has a huge backlog of new items to mint, so this could mean that soon we will be seeing blockchain drops in Lost Relics again!

[Cryptobrewmaster](https://www.cryptobrewmaster.io/game/invite?ref=5985c39dbe1848d59032a0a4de30f856&code=AlphaBonus) is going to [limit usage of their in-game market to holders of a passport](https://peakd.com/hive-140217/@cryptobrewmaster/cryptobrewmaster-passport-info-and-benefits) which you have to buy for a [HIVE](https://peakd.com/register?ref=handtalk5) token called [ASH](https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=ASH).

With this, I am abandoning the game. I was a bit discouraged already by recently added requirement to buy a brewer’s license for withdrawing their [CBM](https://hive-engine.com/?p=market&t=CBM) token but this was just a $1 investment. For the passport we are talking about another $5. Who knows which certificate they introduce next… The gameplay and the earning possibilities are not worth this.

This time, my [Play2Earn](https://www.publish0x.com/play-to-earn2) post focused on sharing news from Cryptoland but as is the tradition I would also like to share at least some of the earnings that found their way into my wallets. As usual, the most profitable was my [Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=handtalk5) accounts. With NFTs that actually can be used for stuff (playing the card game, or in future work in the land expansion), [Splinterlands](https://splinterlands.com/?ref=handtalk5) seems to be greatly profiting from the ongoing NFT craze.

The team just reported [their best quarter ever](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@splinterlands/best-quarter-in-splinterlands-history) and the market cap for their trading cards is mooning.

![Splinterlands Market Cap by Month](https://images.hive.blog/0x0/https://i.imgur.com/8MhXxaw.png)

Following this chart, my account value has developed from an initial investment of 3,230 USD to now 7,067 USD. Part of these profits are from appreciation but a decent percentage of it also comes from the reward drops you get for completing their daily quests. Just sharing the more expensive drops I got since publishing my [last report](https://www.publish0x.com/play-to-earn2/play2earn-highlights-easter-update-breaks-lost-relics-gods-u-xvwngoj?a=nXe0gNqVdx) shows how big the potential is, with all these Epics trading for $0.5-$1 each or the legendary currently valued over $7.

The amazing thing is, that this is not just a hodl investment but by playing the game I am earning a steady income stream of their DEC token which I am regularly re-investing or converting into other assets. Since the [last report](https://www.publish0x.com/play-to-earn2/play2earn-highlights-easter-update-breaks-lost-relics-gods-u-xvwngoj?a=nXe0gNqVdx), I acquired these assets with DEC alone:
- 12 BCX Rusty Android
- 10 BCX Herbalist
- 7 BCX War Chaang
- 7 BCX Owster Rotwell
- 1 [DCity](https://dcity.io/city) Brewery
- 1 LBI
- 14.850 HIVE
- 0.0000067 BTC
- 22.5 DOGE

# What are you waiting for?
While these games will not make you rich, they're handing out free money for doing (almost) nothing. I will grow my stake in these games by re-investing the earnings and also swap some fraction of the tokens for Satoshis to add to my stack.
