Relics - A use, and a money sink https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=4384.msg43201#msg43201

Whenever there are nymphs in a T50 or a false god deck and it comes up in the spinner, it turn out into relics.

Actually getting the nymphs are so random, and so limited. Hardly anyone has a collection of even 3 nymphs, and most people do not even have 1.

The idea was to preserve the rarity, but in a game where thousands of games can be played per person per week, not having even 1 nymph is really unrewarding.

I suggest a new use.

Keep the way the relics are right now, as in, if you win a roulette for nymphs, you get relics instead.  But I suggest this.

If you turn in 4 upgraded relics, you can get an unupgraded nymph of random color or a mark card of random color.

That would be rare enough yet there would be a non-random chance that people will actually be able to get a nymph or a mark card.

That would make them not rare at all. It's easy to get relics, really easy actually. Since Nymphs and Mark cards turn into relics in the spinner, one farm could have a bunch of nymph and mark cards and boom, almost an instant 3 relics per match.

I agree.  The reason so few people have nymphs is because nymphs are relatively new to the game.  Being uneasily obtained, it makes sense that very few people have them.  The longer you play, however, the better chance you have to gain a nymph.

Game suggestions should help balance the game, not make the game easier.  Elements is about luck, skill, and patience.  It's not easy for a reason.

Maybe 99 relic for a non random nymph

Marks should still be tourney only

I like the idea however as others have pointed out rare farms for relics have to be eliminated (maybe make npcs give a different kind of relics than t50/players?)

ehh? ANOTHER money sink? Grinding is log enough and we already have mark changing...

I pretty much agree with everyone else.

But I do think that the relic should upgrade into something functional and nymph related.  Something like "All nymph cards cost 1 quantum less to play."  Let them stack, or decrease the cost by 2 if they don't stack.

I think trading in 20 relics and 10k electrum for a nymph of your choice would be reasonable.

That was awhile ago. Zanz already introduced a new update to the spinner to make Mark's unwinnable in the slots.

That's about right...
To be or not to be, I can do both at once. Go learn quantum mechanics, n00b.
