# Splinterlands | The Game | The Investment | The Earnings

The success that Splinterlands and its players are experiencing makes me wonder why I didn't start the first time I registered. The story goes that I registered and tried playing in 2018 but left it then. I returned somewhere at the beginning of 2020 and played for a good one year before the game exploded. Hmm.. minor regrets of life. But then the one year of head start was not bad either. Splinterlands still remains one of the best investments of time in the crypto space over the last year.

What? Only investment of time? Yeah, I was being conservative. I used to win DECs and other game assets like cards and potions and used them to buy more. The best part, though, is that I made a lot. I am happy.

But that's not what we are discussing today, now, are we? I want to bring your attention to the rental market in Splinterlands. The game has innumerable ways to enhance and multiply our earnings. If DEC, SPS, Vouchers weren't enough, we also have the rental market to earn us DEC. This avenue was largely underutilized by me, but boy, am I in for a ride with the rental market. 😊

So, let's get to know the rental markets, shall we? But before that, how about getting to know Splinterlands first? After all, that is the place where you will find the rental market.

# What Game is Splinterlands?

Splinterlands is a digital card game that allows you to collect, trade, battle, rent, and even earn from the cards. ***The game gives Play to Earn a whole different meaning.*** It is one of the most generous games that I have seen where cards, potions, Dark Energy Crystals (DEC. Cryptocurrency) are given out every day to thousands of players for just playing and winning daily quests. And there are tournaments that you can play or guilds that you can join.

Just to give you an idea of how lucky you can get in Splinterlands - read my story of getting cards worth $500 from buying a few packs worth $20 only.

And this is just a tiny number. I have witnessed people getting uber-expensive cards in their pack and selling it for as high as $6500. This means the game has interested buyers for your cards too. In fact, there is a whole Splinterlands marketplace. 

***If this is not enough, then Splinterlands has just launched the governance token SPS, which is being airdropped to all Splinterlands players over the year. So, you are not late. Get on with the game and earn SPS today. SPS is listed on exchanges, too.***

# Splinterlands' Rental Markets

Rental markets have been there for some time, but I wasn't interested in it. There was a good reason for the disinterest. You see, most of the cards about eight months back weren't worth much. It only exploded with the addition of new players since August 2021. I remember a time when good Gold Foil Legendaries were worth USD 20 or thereabout. Today, you will be lucky to get a good regular common card at that rate. My Gold Foil Byzantine Kitty was worth USD 327 when I got it, but now it is listed at USD 15,000. How's that?

But what has that got to do with rentals? Everything. With the explosion of the game and prices of cards, rental prices have also gone up. Earlier, we could see a Gold Foil card listed in the rental market at USD 0.1 DEC/Day. Those days are long gone. Today my Kitty is listed at 444 DEC/Day and still gets rented out. That's some serious money. About a month back, it was about six dollars a day. At today's rate, it is about two dollars. This means, if I rent it out for two days, I would be able to buy a Chaos Legion pack. See the point?

Okay, all that is fine, but you want to see some stats, right? Let's get on to the stats, then.

# Rental Market | My Stats
Here's my rental status as of today on Peakmonsters (.com). 


![Games2_Rent_Stat.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oivas/23tHbFNLpqsDb9wkeV4RRsjbTaejCnwsnoVceCQXKyUfgx3Rz43Ehcyn1bTnYTML5TS3F.jpg)


See the highlighted area in red? That's the DEC/day I am earning versus the total cards I have listed in the market (and its DEC value). So, I have already got 45 DEC today as against 675 DEC/day worth of listed cards. That's earning something for doing nothing. Of course, the doing part was over when I won or bought the card. Now it just earns for me. 😊

And the best part is that my rental earnings come from just 23 cards listed from 217 cards that I own. How's that for stats. Moreover, last month I earned about 3090 DEC in the entire month from just 23 cards. I have already made roughly 800 DEC between 11th and 20th December in the table that you see above. Remember, the rental market wasn't going full blast last season for some reason. But that's not all. My earnings are nothing compared to my friend @bala41288, another Hive user. 

***[Note to Bala: Bro, taking the liberty of talking about your stats since you had already mentioned it on another public platform. Hope that's fine.]***

On another social media platform, Bala had mentioned that he earned 30,000 DEC from renting out in the season before the last. But here's the difference. He is not actively playing anymore and has rented out almost all his cards. The cards are leveled up and hence get a higher amount of DEC for each rent out. That's quite amusing as I don't think that unless you are in a gold league or above, you will earn 30,000 DEC from playing. So, the next best thing is to rent out cards. 30,000 DEC a month is roughly USD 180 per month at today's rate. 

Now tell me, is there any reason not to look at the rental market? You decide.

# Renting Out Tips

I am not a Splinterlands Zen asking you to follow in my footsteps. This worked for me, and I guess it should work for you too. There is a word of caution. When you rent out, you will need to find out how the card's Power affects your standing. For example, my CP without renting is 189,000, and the Byzantine Kitty alone is worth 50,000 CP. When I rent out the Kitty and the other cards, my CP falls to 117,000. That's the difference between Gold 3 and Gold 2. So, you might want to check the CP power too while planning to rent out. 

**Tips**
1. For renting, I considered gold foil cards that I did not use. Gold foils earn more rentals than regular foil. No rocket science there.
2. Also, go for those gold foils with an equivalent regular foil or higher level. Any which way, the game will not automatically pick up the gold foil card for the game (as it is of lower level).
3. Find out cards you don't use or don't need anymore. They can be rented out too.
4. Assuming none of the above adversely affect your CP, finalize the cards to rent out. Now get on with the pricing.
5. Remember, pricing to make millions in one go will get you no renters. A card listed for rentals and never rented out is no use for you. Your aim should be to rent out often. So, price cards close to the lowest if not the lowest.
6. Some cards rent for 1 DEC/Day (or even lesser), while some do a 444 DEC/Day. But hey, 1 DEC/Day is still better than that card lying in your pack and doing nothing. Correct?
7. Depending on the DEC rate and earning potential, review your listing every season. The prices for cards go up too, so don't miss on that by not increasing the price. **Trick** if your card gets rented out too often, check on it. The chances are that the prices have gone up, and you are the only one renting it out cheap. 😉

So, that's it. Explore this avenue for earning DEC too. It works for me, and I am sure it will work for you. 😊

# That's It From Me

Can you imagine that I was considering selling my Byzantine Kitty for 400 USD? What a mistake that would have been! Now, renting it out brings me more and can go on indefinitely. The earning potential is just exponential!

So, price well and take maximum advantage of the rental market. You will be glad that you did!!
