I remember that once, someone suggested that Relics should have some sort of use. And just now, I've had this random idea...

You can sacrifice a Relic or Shard you possess to give yourself an extra visit to the Oracle. This can be done as many times as you wish in one day.

Good idea? Bad?

After seen the guy who got 26 Relics from Top50 farms I think this idea isn't good.

How? It's not like 26 visits will get him a Nymph, or even any card at all. He'll probably get more money if he sells all those Relics.

I do think it's a bit strange that unupped shards have no use at all.  Still, I've got to say that I'm not a big fan of this at all.  We're given one oracle visit a day, that's the whole point of it.

While that may be true of the relics, it's absolutely not true for the shards.  This would mean potentially 26 False God predictions, 26x free electrum (which isn't always a small quanitity...), 26x chances to win free cards (Nymphs included), etc.  That is a big deal, and way more valuable than the ~156 electrum you'd get from selling unupped shards. 

If this was implemented, relic/shard farms would be everywhere, and people would have an extremely easy way to exploit the oracle.  Imagine the sheer amount of oracle visits people could collect, every single day...

Well just make it harder. Trade in a set of 2 green shards, 2 blue shards and 2 relics for one oracle visit maybe. Alternatively I was suggesting on the chat earlier than trading in 12 upped relics for a random upped nymph might be a way to reward players who already have a stash of upped cards and still continue to play.

I agree with pepo on this. Zanz implemented Nymphsjust so the game has some cool ungrind-able cards. This way, people could grind their way to 12 of each nymph.

relics should be upgraded to a nymph for a higher electrum cost, maybe 3000 electrum??

maybe you upgrade a relic you get a random nymph? this would mean you still have to get 1500 to get an UNUPGRADED nymph

This would make nymphs too easy to get. Right now i think they are too difficult to get but this would literally flood the market.

Perhaps once per day you can trade in a shard/relic for 1 extra oracle turn so you can get 2 turns a day. AND maybe have it cost you 100 electrum.

I was thinking something similar actually.  Bribe the oracle with relics to get better spins, a chance of an upgraded pet, etc.

i like the system as it is. there are still new rare cards now and then, that can be grinded in top 50 games. but the idea, that there are some cards, that are really hard to get, makes it more of a win, if youre finally winning one of them.

got my second green nymph today (fifth nymh overall :D ). wouldnt be that much awesome, if you can get them another way.

how about the possiblility to change them for rares, that are already possible to grind, like miracle and pharao or weapons etc.?
