What is the best way to grind? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=23013.msg291770#msg291770

I got most of my score and money off of pvp. I know it is risky because you can easily meet a deck that will fry yours no problem. However, I win most of the time so it has worked for me moderately well. I don't like grinding FGs because of low win percentages, and to me, grinding AI3 is too slow. Is grinding pvp too dangerous or risky? Should I switch to AI3 or FG grinding? Or should I do T50? Who and how should I grind for score and money?

Also, how do I add a poll? never mind

'PvP will evenetually not be worth it for score because your score you win depends on the score of the opponent. also, if you lose to a lower scored opponent, it effects your score more
AI3 is good for score.
FG's are good for :electrum

BP pretty much summed it up.

AI3: good score, decent elec
Top50: variable score + elec, good for rares
AI5: mediocre score + elec
FG's: low score, high elec
PvP: fun + challenge

So much about PvP score and electrum:
(http://imageplay.net/) (http://imageplay.net/) (http://imageplay.net/)Both of my opponents had a full upped deck, the first match was 73electrum EM, second can't remember no EM, third 128electrum EM.
PvP= big FUN, but with high score the scoring system forcing me to enter only with allaroud decks. :( (which limits the fun)

I also voted for FG's, because with a decent 35-45 card time or entropybow most of the wins will be EM's -> score is skyrocketing with electrum aswell.

You're thinking too much about Elements when.... ;)

But, yes. That's a great way, though it kind of gets repetitive when you still don't get powder after a long time :/

(It's spelled pestle, by the way)

t50 with a completely upped rush. NapalmGrenade's phoenix mod (old version with blights) is a very, very good one. Once you get 12 of each rare, you can sell them, for lots of money. I've made like 1k score and 3k money on a good day. But that's the problem, scout out the circuit first, cajole some t50 players in chat and kowtow to the oracle. If the winds aren't right, you can't grind. There are dark, dark days some times.

Too much elements and sleep deprivation will do it.
