Heyy! I'm Queenstarr, and I'd like to extend a warm welcome to my Farm on dCrops. With only 3 days left in ❄️Winter, it will soon be Spring🌸. But that's not all; big things are happening on dCrops, such as celebration of dCrops 2 years Anniversary, the Easter Event and the game's much-anticipated Cooking feature, which are all now live!!! wait, don't say Heh! and don't leave just yet; let me take you through the rest of the game's in-betweens. This post will reveal what new players should be aware of, and how the events thus far have impacted me. So come on in; this promises to be Legendary

dCrops being a blockchain-based game, allows us to manage our virtual farms and has seen significant development over the last two years, with new features like Cooking, Crafting, Workshop, Construction and Orchard.

Personally, the strong community aspect of dCrops which anyone can access on discord is one of it's strengths. We players can interact with one another, and share our knowledge and experiences. This fosters a sense of mutual respect and belonging among us, which is especially important in a virtual world.
On dCrops we are talking TSO [okay I coined this out just now] Transparency, Security, and Ownership of in-game assets, characteristics which I and most [if not all web 3] gamers find very appealing.

It's Sweet & Sour, sweet when I Earn and sour when I had to wait longer to Earn. But, it's been sweet the most part and I believe it's all tied to my love for the game and determination to make something out of it. Having had an almost 2 years of pleasure playing dCrops, allow me share with you some advice if you are a New player to the game.

MY ADVICE TO NEW PLAYERS STARTING OUT

The first question any new player would ask is, IS dCROPS PROFITABLE❓

As much as I would like to respond to you with an affirmative YES!, I'd rather let you understand the reason from my perspective as a player who just like you [or not you] started with little, now with extra and still growing.

👉First, dCrops isn't a get-rich-overnight game, in fact, no sustainable blockchain game is an overnight 100% ROI. As a player you need to be patient and put in the effort [time & resource]. Consider the long-term returns as this is a more sustainable approach.

🌱Here is a well known fact to keep in mind:

✅In dCrops your NFTS [Seeds & Lands etc] do not decay or expire, even if you pull or purchase an NFT, say 🍆eggplant seed(s)? These seeds will stay with you for as long as the game exist. Implying that, you do not need to keep buying this seed to replenish every season [you can add more of the seeds and lands to plant on though if you want to]. So say if you pull/purchase 10 🍆eggplant seeds, this is a one-time purchase and you can gradually for life recoup your Investment as well as profit from these seeds.

✅The same is true for land. Your land(s) will never expire, or get withdrawn from you because it's not rented/delegated, and you will be able to use it all year round.

🌱There are so many ways to Profit in dCrops:

1️⃣ PLANTING AND HARVESTING OF CROPS, then selling harvest shares to earn CROP, this native token can be traded for real money on the HIVE-ENGINE.

In this Blog, you will see how I sold my shares and what I earned from it 👉 https://peakd.com/hive-140217/@queenstarr/my-dcrops-farm-adventure--opened-beta-packs. You can make up to 5-120 Hive every 15 days, depending on your game assets.

FOR THIS YOU WILL NEED INVEST IN LANDS & SEEDS

You may also want to know what seeds have the best ROI on dCrops, for this you'll have to visit this blog to know what you need to get started on dCrops

2️⃣ COMPLETING OF QUEST and claiming of Chest full of resources.

Players can choose to list/sell the very scares NFT resources on the market which other players almost immediately buy. These resources help to Build Equipment, Craft Recipes, Cooking etc.

3️⃣ HOLDING REWARDS. Here you buy BETA or ALPHA packs or even Hold CROP tokens [If you buy 100 packs, you get 10 packs free from developer and offer is in-game only at https://www.dcrops.com/packs]. If you hold atleast 20k Crop power, you get liquid Hive drops daily and can earn from 0.5hive up-to 21hive daily. There're legit players who earn 630hive monthly from holding rewards, either from Packs or Crop power or both.

The good thing about this is that, you don't stake this packs and whenever you want to pop-open or even pull out, you can sell instantly to get your monies. But I bet you'd love the game and stick to it, it's addictive😂
Presently packs is 2.7$ cause of the Easter event. It'll soon return to 3$ base line, so make hare while the sun still shines😜.

4️⃣ EARNING VIA REFERRAL CODE, you get a 5% on any packs purchased by your referral, as long it's bought from in-game using HBD or HIVE OR SWAP.BUSD.

❤️I love my referrals and once in awhile, I hold a giveaway in my little club for free packs or send them NFTs.

5️⃣ CREATING CONTENT and sharing their farm life with others. Once post payouts, take some and buy your in-game assets, grow your account.

dCrops and it's supporting communities like @hivegc rewards gaming content creators. Here's a club-channel for that in dCrops discord server. Any Publicity is good Publicity they say, please put your creativity to good use and get rewarded while at it.

6️⃣ New players should make it a "RULE OF LAW" to never miss out on amazing writing contest opportunities like in this case👉 https://peakd.com/hive-140217/@dcrops/2-years-of-dcrops-writing-contest where you stand the chance to win amazing packs and liquid hive that you can re-invest into the game. This is the latest and there's plenty days more to make an Entry, DO IT NOW!

MY EXPERIENCE WITH LIMITED TIME EVENTS

dCrops loves to reward it's community by holding Limited time events, such as Halloween, Christmas and presently Easter.

I have noticed that these Limited-time events have been a great way to keep a game fresh and exciting for us players. They all have introduced thrilling challenges, and rewards that are only available for a limited period of time, this has sorta created a sense of urgency and excitement. I have so acquired 4 Limited edition cards from the two different events [Christmas & Easter].

Another thing is that, these event has incentivized we players to log in regularly and engage with the game, for example, bribing either Santa or working with the Easter bunny to distribute Present/Eggs to random players daily, this has been very beneficial for the community and game's longevity.

However, I have found these limited-time events to be abit frustrating . For Halloween, the challenges were too difficult for me to fulfil and then the rewards were sorta too exclusive. I felt discouraged and thought to not bother again, then Christmas came and I was more prepared. I found this Blog 👉 dCrops point event strategies by farmer @jfuji to be very helpful in preparing for this Easter Event.

What I have not enjoyed about the Event is whale dominance in the selling of shares. So we low tier players don't even stand the chance to earn decent CROP at end of season, neither do we end up with atleast 2 copies of the limited NFTs. Probably a regulation should be reset or remove the option where you can earn points from SELLING OF CROP and let the rest options fly. Well tbf, the whales legit deserve the spoil, so I shouldn't complain.

All I can end with on this is, try not to feel pressured to invest more than you are comfortable with during these Events or regular play. The game is meant to be Fun, so when the Fun stops, STOP⛔️
