HOW TO BECOME RICH IN 1 DAY
A Newbie Guide of Getting a Lot of Money in the Shortest Possible Time

Questions I keep hearing over and over again are: "How can I get money fast?" "What is the best deck to make some fast money?" "How do I upgrade cards"? After answering to these questions about 1000 times, I decided to start this thread to help all newbies become rich in the shortest possible time. So the next time I hear these questions, all I need to do is give this link. If you follow all these steps, you will become rich in 1 day, guaranteed.

I'm starting this guide from the moment you have created your new account.

1. Pick your element
Choose your starting element. This is not a big deal because you can very easily change it later. If you want to make money fast, I recommend you choose FIRE because it has good high damage Dragons, and bunch of cards you can sell for good money.
 
2. Modify your deck
Before doing ANYTHING ELSE, go to "Your Deck". You will now see your starting deck of 40 cards. Our goal is to have a mono-deck of 30 cards.


Starting deck without modifications.

I. Remove useless cards
Remove and sell in "Bazar" all the cards that do not belong to your main element.

II. Remove defensive cards
This is very important. Remove and sell all DEFENSIVE cards (you only need damage dealers). Now this might sound a bit crazy but the fact is that you do not need any defensive cards to beat level 3 opponents. Every single defensive card you have in your deck, will only make your grinding slower.

Trying to build a deck that can win with elemental mastery (full health) is not a good strategy because while you do get more money, it takes you much longer to win, so elemental mastery decks are SLOW, and we want FAST.

III. Buy new cards
You now have bunch of money that you can buy new cards with. Buy some Pillars and as many high cost/high damage creatures as you can. As you can see from the picture, I bought Grimson Dragons because of their high damage.


Starting deck after modifications.

When you have a mono-deck of 30 cards and high damage dealers, move to next step.

3. Go to "Quests" and pick your rewards.
Take rewards and take the next Quest.

4. Start doing newbie Quests.

- Kill level 0 opponent ONCE, and go get your reward from "Quests".

- Kill level 1 opponent ONCE, and go get your reward from "Quests".

- Kill level 2 opponent ONCE, and go get your reward from "Quests".

Just kill every one of these quys only ONCE. Don't start grinding them yet.

5. Do the 150 score Quest
Grind level 3 opponent until you get 150 score. You might lose about 10% of matches but that doesn't matter. Remember not to grind lower level opponents because it's slower that way. After you get that score of 150, go collect your reward.

Do NOT grind top-50 or PvP because it's SLOW.


Make changes to your deck when you can afford it. It's important to have 6 high damage dealers, like dragons

p.s. this is NOT the best possible deck. It's just something I used. Make your own version of it.

6. Do the 500 score Quest
Good news is that you do the same thing that you did in last step. Bad news is that this requires a little bit more time. It'll probably take you something between 1-2 hours to get that score of 500, and when do, collect your reward, a RARE WEAPON!

What rare weapon should you pick? Well, some choices are better than others because some weapons are more difficult to get later in the game.

Most veterans, like myself, would agree that Eternity is the best choice. Pulverizer is also a good choice. Remember, all weapon cards can be won later in the game.

You can now UPGRADE A CARD BY PAYING 1.5k Electrum, but don't do it yet.

7. Continue grinding until you have about 6000 Electrum. (yeah it takes some time)
Keep grinding level 3 until you have money to upgrade a couple of cards. The amount of money depends on your skill level. The better player you are, the less money (upgrades) you need before moving to the next phase.

8. Build a rainbow deck
This is the most important part of becoming rich. Rainbow deck is the ONLY deck that can beat ALL the False Gods with a good winning percentage. If you have no upgraded cards, killing False Gods can be really difficult. I recommend you upgrade at least the Hourglasses, although if you understand CCG's, this deck will give you results even without a single upgrade.

Here is a good deck to get you started:


Mark is TIME.
:timemark

 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,1615.0.html[/url)9. Practice your new rainbow deck against level 3 opponent
Fight about 10+ matches against level 3 opponent to get a feel for your rainbow deck. This helps when you go next step.

10. Go fight False Gods.
Go to "Quests" and choose "Level 6". You will now fight one of the 11 False Gods, chosen randomly.

Here are some strategy tips: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,182.msg1290#msg1290 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,182.msg1290#msg1290)

Remember, you WILL lose A LOT at first, but it gets better.

11. Sell all the upgraded cards you win
When you win cards after defeating False Gods, you will win UPGRADED cards. Sell all of them (that you don't need), and use that money to slowly upgrade your rainbow deck (start with Hourglasses!). You will notice that once your deck becomes more upgraded, you start winning more.

12. Customize your rainbow deck to your own liking
There are many different possibilities in customizing your deck. Look forum for ideas. Just remember not to make your deck bigger than 54 cards. Instead try to make it smaller.

13. Continue fighting False Gods until you are filthy rich and in top-50



Thanks for reading. If you have any questions or comments, please post them.

Thank you for this guide Scaredgirl.  As a newish player, been playing against the computer for a while with different accounts trying the different elements out, I have been stymied from the slow pace I've gained money. 

[Chival]

i think red or black is the best element to start for this as well.

[Dragoon]

Ya beat me to it.  Well, I won't hold it against ya.    Actually, I think I like yours better than what I was cooking up.  Well done.

[Evil Hamster]

I tried this after creating an EvilHamster account. I don't think there's a quest to kill level 3.

And supernovas are great until you have to discard because you have 3 in your hand and only 1 chaos mana

Hi Scared! I wanna make a little suggestion!

I've followed your guide (very usefull!) and i tried a little change in your point 5.
I've used this deck (similar to yours):

x17 Burning pillar
x2 Ash eater
x6 Crimson dragon
x3 Firebolt
x2 Immolation

I've took out: x1 immolation, x2 ash eater and the dagger; added: x2 crimson dragon, x2 firebolt.

I use Immolation with ash eater (i wait to play them until i have in my hand 1 immolation), but with so many burning pillar in the 2nd or 3rd round i have played the first dragon. When i have many quantum fire i use firebolt, also togheter to do great damage It's hard take Elemental master, but it's a very quick deck, so more spin and more $$$ xD

[joob]

Yeah, like I said, if they don't work well, don't post them. I know yours works unupped decently well since that's what I started with, but I haven't tried any of the others unupped.

Again, good job. It's quite a handy guide.

I'm playing now with this proposed rainbow deck, and after some time I'm quite confiedent with it, I even beat Graviton two times .
I do, though, have some comments to this deck:

- Why the graboid? I never found it useful in any particular way, just another creature. Is it just for getting some for the earth quantum?
- Why no "Enchant Artifact"? I added it and found it _extremely_ useful against Graviton and Hermes, especially to protect your pillars/towers.
- I also added more quantum towers, as especially in the early game I often lack the right quantum to build up a good defense.

Beside all the good things, and the bad things, The combinations are limited. And Like all card games it needs new cards within each 3 or 4 months. Without spoiling the balance ofcourse..Cheers

[Scaredgirl]

Ya beat me to it.  Well, I won't hold it against ya.    Actually, I think I like yours better than what I was cooking up.  Well done.

Lol, and NOW you tell me? Man, I should have just waited for couple more days.. It took like 2 hours of mindless grinding and 1 hour of painful writing to come up with this thread.

Do you have any tips you would like to see added here? I'm not 100% sure if I covered everything, and there might be some things that newbies don't know, that are so common knowledge to me that I skipped them.

[Scaredgirl]

I tried this after creating an EvilHamster account. I don't think there's a quest to kill level 3.

And supernovas are great until you have to discard because you have 3 in your hand and only 1 chaos mana

You sure about that? Could be because I first finished 500 quest and then started doing this thread from memory, and I'm not 100% sure about those quests.

Yeah, sometimes you have to discard but it's not generally that big of a deal. It's pretty easy to come back from that because when you DO get that Supernova, you can start playing cards much faster. I try to use Sundials to buy time until I have that 2 Entropy.

[Scaredgirl]

Good stuff. I followed this exactly when building my rainbow. Might be nice to include a link to some of the other posted rainbow decks (jmizzle's, alsaska/vice's), not because it looks like shameless self-advertisement, but just to make sure they're also seen - you know, for those (like me) that are lazy and don't want to search the forum. Unless those decks don't work well unupped, in which case it's fine as it is.

Also, you might mention that lobo is also difficult to win. I know it's not as useful as eternity and pulverizer, but I still think it's worth mentioning.

Problem with those other decks is that you need upgraded cards to be successful with them. I'm 99% sure you cannot run a small deck with non-upgraded cards, although I haven't tried it after the Sundial fix..

I did put "look the forum for ideas" in that customizing part but if you feel there should be direct links for all you lazy b******s out there ( , sure I can do that. But tomorrow because I need sleep.
