Today just a short update on the packs I bought and opened. More details will follow next weekend in the Portfolio update. 

# Finally the General Sale is here

Oh man, the last two days have been an absolute nightmare for me. Since I finished the preparations for the Sale I could not think of much else. Do you still know these Christmas days in your childhood? When you were waiting the whole day for your presents. Thats the way I felt today. Here in Germany the sale started at 6 pm. For god sake currently we have lots to do at work, so time was flying by. 

### Piling up credits before allowed me to buy directly
5:45 PM I was already sitting before the PC waiting for the sale to start. I even recorded everything and currently I am trying to upload it on 3Speak. Since I had been pilling all necessary credits upfront I could directly start buying my **385** packs and shortly thereafter I could open the first one. 

I have heard that other players had difficulties getting their Credits and are still waiting to buy there cards. Never the less at the point in time I am writting this nearly 6 million packages are sold. So buy tomorrow evening we should at least see the first 3 Airdrop cards becoming available. 

Today I **opened 100** packs. Another 120 packs will be opened later bit by bit, when the Airdrop cards get unlocked. 

### I was very lucky on my first 100 packs
By watching the video on 3Speak you can take part in my joy to open these first 100 packs. But I must warn you it is in German. 

On a first glance I would say I was very lucky opening my packs:

Even though in the first 15 packs there was no legendary card at all, after opening all 100 packs I got 12 Legendary cards:

I also got 23 Gold Foil cards (16 common, 5 rare, 1 epic and 1 legendary):

To mention here are for sure the **golden Torrent Fiend** as well as **golden Tarsa** and **golden Temporal Master**.

Before leveling all cards, the **market value** of my collection **increased by 550 $**. A nice sum for opening 100 *only* 100 packs.

### CP rose to more than 30.000 CP
What I did not expect was the huge increase in my CP value. I am now around 30k and can easily play silver 3, at least from a CP point of view. No I just need to improve my cards further. I could level up some summoners, but Obsidian and Thaddius are still on Level 1. Some key cards in my arsenal are still level 1 as well and some are completely missing by now. 

After opening the other packs I will have look what is missing and fill the gaps with some targeted buys. So I will be ready to have a good season and end it Silver III or even Silver II.

# How was your start into the General Sale?
How many packs did you open yet? Are you satisfied with what you got? 

I wish you a good time with all that new opportunities. 

See you on the battlefield
Yours Kheldar 1982
