Learn The Scholarship Best Practices From a Veteran Balthazar Scholar
Hello there! @saydie here, playing Splinterlands everyday!
Scholarship has become an essential part of the Splinterlands ecosystem, offering opportunities for both new and existing players who may not have enough resources to engage in the game while at the same time, allows for the investors who cannot spend as much time in playing the game to utilize their assets, resulting for both the Scholar and Manager was able to earn. That said, to ensure a successful and long- lasting partnership between the scholar and manager, it is important to set some guidelines for both the Managers and Scholars to follow. And so for this week's Community Engagement Challenge, I will be talking about the scholarship best practices for the #SplinterlandsScholarshipGuide which I personally practice as one of the longest Balthazar Scholar, playing @bltzr-wizard-726.
Scholar Best Practices
- Do Not Let Your Energy Go To Waste
Splinterlands uses an Energy System by which players can only play a certain amount of battles before they need to rest their account to recover the Energy and each account will stops to recover energy once they reached 50. So before that happens, always make sure to play the battle for the scholar account that you are playing which means to play at least 24 battles a day.
Draining energy is also an option since you may be able to purchase more Energy or get them through loot chest depending on the scholars agreement with their manager.
- Play at the League Your Deck is Supposed to Play
Scholars that are given a certain level of deck by their managers should make sure to play within the league that their cards are supposed to play if not going higher. This ensures that every battle that the scholar plays will earn the most amount of SPS for the scholar account that he plays and will give the manager more confidence on the abilities of the scholar.
As a scholar that was entrusted with a max level Chaos Legion Deck, I am making sure to play not lower than Diamond 3 and if I can, I would try to reach Champion League which I was able to accomplish days before the season ends.
- Always Send Your team for Guild Brawls
Guild Brawls are not only an extra source of revenue for the Manager and the Scholar but also a mini community within the Splinterlands and not participating on brawls will not only affect the manager but also the rest of the guild.
As a scholar you should always fill your brawls on time and win as many battles as you can. Not only this will increase the amount of SPS that the scholar account can earn but this also allows it to earn more merits that can be used to open Gladiator packs.
- Make Sure to Play Your Tournaments
With Tournaments now requiring entry fee, Managers are also now oblige to pay for every tournaments that the scholar may enter which means more risk for the investor in case that the scholar did not win the required battles to received rewards so the best that the scholar can do is to make sure that he enters all of his battles before the event ends.
- Do Not Touch Your Managers Assets Without Permission
As a scholar, your main role is to play battle and other things you can do will be up to what your manager tells to you or at least ask for their permission. Whether it was combining Cards, transferring Tokens, using Glint, opening Packs or managing Title and Land, avoid doing anything on your manager's assets without their permission as it will end in a breach of trust and the end of the scholarship.
- The Scholars Goal Should Not Be To Extract But to Build
As scholar, you are entitled to do whatever you want with your earnings but at least try to reinvest some of your earnings to build your own assets so that you can eventually reach a point where your own account can finally compete and earn on its own without relying on the scholarship.
This will also lead with a healthier ecosystem as the scholars are using their earnings to purchase assets.
Closing
Being a scholar may allow for a player to play the game without holding any assets but don't just stop at being a scholar and use your earnings to build your own assets. Nothing is more worthwhile than having your own cards to play. By doing that, maybe you will reach it to the point where from scholar, you now became a manager that is lending his account to new players.
Thank you and see you on the next post!

Nice one! May I ask how much SPS you get per win? The part of the scholarship that I don't understand that well is the profit side :-D
The SPS that I win still depends on what card I used, what league I played and how much Staked SPS the account has. If you are asking how much a scholar is earning, that still depends on the agreement between the scholar and the manager and whether it will be payed out on a daily or weekly basis but as for us , that was 50% sps split including in tournaments and brawls. Before the league caps where removed and each league still has leaderboard, all leaderboard price goes to us.
