The snapshot has been taken and we have a long even that last from 24th June to 23rd of September. The easiest to participate is Phase 1 (as long as there were sufficient $SPS staked). I think it is a good idea to have 1 Card just in case since it is very cheap. There is even a chance to not get a Regular Foil. It is fair to think of Yaba’s Pickle as a raffle with minimum guaranteed prices.
- Gold Foil – 2% drop rate (4% with Alchemy Potions)
- Black Foil – 1 in 4,000 drop rate (1 in 2,000 with Midnight Potions)
I have 126 Cards that I can purchase. 100 Cards can be combined into a Level 6 Yaba's Pickle. I don't have the funds at the moment to make that kind of a purchase. There is only 972,487,926 SPS staked. I doubt there would even be half a million of Cards created.
Arcane Gold + Black Foil Editions
I use Brave Search (which beat Google to provide AI search results) and it knows about the game when asked about "Splinterlands Arcane Cards". This is what it had to say:
The new Arcane Conclave set in Splinterlands introduces nine new revolutionary abilities to the game with never-before-seen effects.2 Among these, the new foils, including Black Foil and Arcane Foil, add a new level of exclusivity and collecting to the cards.7 These new foils have unique designs and additional benefits, such as double the reward bonus in ranked battles and half the cooldown of Gold Foils in Survival Mode.
The best part of this Arcane Event is there is another added utility for Aura and VOUCHERs. Aura itself is the first use for Research in Praetoria. It is great to see more of the promises of the previous bull market get delivered during the current one.
