Rare farming

[Site Administrator]

In a bid to stop people asking 'where can I get <a rare card>?' all the time, I'm going to put it into the Resolved helpdesk section (sticky post). I don't know where to get them, but if you do, please post them here.

Still needs some more work though.

Yesterday I built chivals fire speed deck for lvl3 and I have picked up tons of rares quite quickly. It requires no thinking and has a win rate of more than 90% and rares drop frequently for me. I picked up 1 Squid, 4 Eternities, 2 Eagle Eyes, 1 Miracle, 1 Morning Star, 1 Vampiric Stilleto and 1 Trident.

i use two ways, but i'm not sure the best (since people seem to find rares more often than me, they'll have a specific tactic)

what is possible:
1. false gods: chance of winning a rare: GOOD // win percentage: 80% with a good huge deck // fight time: TOO MUCH! // money earning: LOT
2. AI3: chance of winning a rare: few // win percentage: 100% // fight time: RIDICOLOUS // money earning: what!?
3. top50: chance of winning a rare: few // win percentage: 90% with high speed rainbow // fight time: FEW // money earning: few but something

I prefer top 50 because you can win all rares and sometimes top50 playes leave a deck full of rares but not working, because they's reaorganizing cards, and with an easy win you get high chances! (got 3 shards like these, even some useless [over 6th] eagle eye)
I dont use 2nd way because too much boring, but false gods are the best if you need even some money to get some new deck.

Someone has better tactics? I'm searching for new methods

Top50 is always the best place to get rare cards, I get alot of rare weapons from t50

i switched to top50 too. No eternity by now but at least some pulverizers and shards

Here's a copy of my post from over in the other thread for AI3 rares.


So far this is what I've run into.  I'll try to update as I find out new info.
I put what I've seen in the game or spinners in Bold and what others have seen in italics.

Ummm...yeah i think taht for just farming rares t50 is best (if you can beat them) but what you have to keep in mind is taht many of the t50 decks were designed to beat falst gods so they might not be easy. nut o occasion i find t50 decks that are easy. i fought one with a negative score. another one i fought about 6 times and i won 3 eternities (2 from one match) a pulverizer and a lobotomizer. so i don't know if i was lucky or the t50 decks give a better chance to win but thats what happened.

I think t-50 decks do give the best chances, (overall,) for rares.  But it all depends on who is in the top 50 at the moment and what their decks are.  Many people, (myself included,) put 16 rares and 14 useless pillars in their deck when logging off for the night.  These decks can be really profitable, and almost impossible to lose to.  It is hard to tell if they are in the mix at any particular time though, since a 1/50 chance can just not come up at all sometimes.  Listening in and/or talking on chat can help determine if there are some good decks in the mix to farm, but it isn't entirely reliable.  It took me FOREVER to find my one Pulverizer, but when I finaly did, it was in a t-50 rare farm deck.  (I wish I had been paying attention to the name so I could thank them.)

Nowaday top50 is undoubtely the best for rare farming. Farm decks are more and better made (more copies of the rarest rares). Grinding AI3 became obsolete
