This is more for the beginners really. Most games have the same problem and that is, it has a large gap from just starting up to a milestone at which a stable condition have been established. It is probably the number one reason why people lose interest to a game that they might stick to otherwise. And this game share the same problem. For a newbie, it is hard collecting enough electrum to even upgrade a card but once you have reach a certain point, say upgraded enough cards for a deck, collecting electrum becomes much easier and smoother.

What I propose is instead of the random trinkle of electrum we get when we visit the oracle, maybe it should be a fixed number, somewhere between 500 ~ 1000 electrum. This way, it wont affect the game play much but it will make it easier for beginners to start collecting electrum for buying or upgrading cards, making new decks etc

What say you?

yes, there is a slight chance of getting 1k++ electrum (highest recorded is 1200e if i'm not mistaken) but only if you spin nymph and you know how likely that is to happen (not sure if you can get 1k++ with any other cards)
even with nymph, it is not always going to be 1k++, i've got 4 nymph and 3 of them got me 150e and the other one gives me 300e

I think a slight increase wouldnt hurt, but I think a minimum of 500 is too high. I mean no matter what, even with the worst luck, youll be able to upgrade a card in three days just by spending about a minute on the game each day. maybe a minimum of about 100 or so. and even that is a pretty good increase from what it is now.

The FG Predictions are quite good, if you find the right deck to beat them, and have the time to play a game after clicking on the oracle button.

I second a small increase of the electrum amount you get. (but i´m also satisfied without an increase ).
Always > 500 electrums per visit is too much.

I think the usual income (electrums) from oracle should be the reward of opponents between lvl3 and in 5-20 minutes playtime plus FG prediction (sometimes).

I'd be much happier if the upgrade card prices went down, but I suppose a small bonus from the oracle wouldn't hurt.

I think that a minimum of 25 electrum should be obtained, I just don't like it when I consistently get 10-20 electrum for, say, a week straight. Also, the chance of winning a card should be higher.

I think a minimum of about 80 would suffice.
500 is way too much imo, but I would love the extra bit of money from the oracle.

Maybe give more electrum based on score?

Say if someone has 2000 score, their reward would be in a bracket of 500-1000 electrum whereas someone with a 50,000 score would have the the chances to win the current amount of elecrtum. That way newer players would get a boost while not expanding the "rich get richer" aspect. I would suggest something alont the lines of a ladder or decreasing returns the higher one's score is.

i say increase just a little to minimum of 40 not higher if not oracle can become a main source of income the oracle is mostly all about the FG predicition and possible nymphs thats all it should have i relly dont care for the money it gives i would even get rid of it but assure a FG predicition
