Summoner's Spellbook
The Summoner's Spellbook (Starter Pack) upgrade is REQUIRED to earn rewards and access all functionalities of Splinterlands. The one-time upgrade costs $10.
The Summoner's Spellbook upgrade can be purchased with Paypal, or with one of the 20+ cryptocurrencies accepted by Splinterlands.


Splinterlands is free to try, giving players a chance to learn the mechanics and begin collecting cards before purchasing the Summoner's Spellbook, but those who are not upgraded miss out on several important features of the game.
- No Rewards can be Earned - Players can accept gifts, but they do not earn SPS rewards for battling or rewards for the completion of Daily Focus and Seasons.
- No Tournaments - Only Spellbook-upgraded players have the opportunity to participate in, or create tournaments through the Splinterlands tournament interface.
- No Trading on the Market - Because a player's blockchain account, linked to their new Splinterlands account, is not created until they upgrade by purchasing the Summoner's Spellbook, they are unable to make transactions on the market from a new account, such as buying or selling packs and individual cards. In the event that a user had an existing Hive account, they would still need to purchase a Spellbook in order to upgrade their account, but they will be able to make transactions on the market.
- No Guilds - Players will not be able to create or join guilds.
Once the Summoner's Spellbook upgrade has been completed, a unique HIVE blockchain account is created for the player and all functions and features of the game are open to them.

After the upgrade, players can...
- Purchase packs, cards, and land
- Earn SPS for battling
- Transfer assets in and out of the game
- Create and or join tournaments
- Create and or join guilds
Once the Spellbook has been purchased, players are able to locate it in the other Inventory section, where it is stored as a unique non-transferable asset connected to their account.

Splinterlands cover the cost of creating a HIVE blockchain account, and enough resource credits are provided to play Splinterlands. The Summoner's Spellbook upgrade allows Splinterlands owners to earn for life playing Splinterlands.
