Am I wasting my time? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=37277.msg468122#msg468122

Hello all! I am currently farming bronze for shards. My question is as the title…. Am I wasting my time in bronze because all I get is weapons.
And one more question, considering the becks that are posted in each arena and the counters that exist, where would it be the fastest farming?
Thank you in advance.
P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong place for me questions.  ;D

Well it really depends on how much :electrum you have and what your score is ^^ If you're fairly new I suggest you get a nice good card base farming AI3 and AI4. Rares are never a bad thing too!

The best place to get shards is still bronze, even if you're unlucky with spins, also if you have 6 shards of sacrifice you can build a SPlat deck and go farm plat league to win upped shards.

First of all, I thank you for your answers. I am currently 48lvl and when I want some extra upped cards for selling in order to get  :electrum I use an Instosis (and now that think about it was ralouf1 who directed my to this deck after I asked in chat room).
I stopped farming silver and gold because I thought bronze has easier decks posted and so it would be faster but I am unlucky with the spins.
And since you mentioned it ralouf1, I don’t have enough shards of sacrifice to make a SPlat but even if I had I do not get how it works. I did try it out in the trainer but didn’t get the way I should be playing it, I even killed my self 3-4 times ;D ( yes I know!!!!!  :-\)

I would create another thread, but looks like I could use this one.

I want to farm for shards. Of course Bronze league is easier, but with electrum reward at 2(!), I have decided that I will move to Silver. The question is, whats the most efficient deck? I would even sacrifice a bit of speed to get more win rate.

Im currently using TADAbow and getting good results, but I wonder if there is a way to improve that. Which deck do you guys recommend? It could be upped, I have lots of cards ;)

My experience is that the deck authors tend to over-state the ability of their decks. For this reason, I would suggest to use decks that are aimed for farming higher levels, e.g. gold or platinum, so you can try "Gold League killer" or Splat and will get a good win-rate in silver.
If you try decks that are listed as good silver-killers you will get over 50% wins, but not high enough consistency for special spins.

However, if your aim is to get shards quick, then use a fast speedbow (eg.. Arena farming 101)  in bronze, that gets the job done the fastest.
Roses aren't red, Violets aren't blue.
They are just a simulation, and so are you!

If I had shards to splat, I would farm platinum instead, lol. I dont have the most recent shards, but thanks anyway. Anyone else?

I still need some unupped shards (have already too many upped shards), so I sometimes farm Silver with this one, although it requires shards again:

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6qq 6s1 6s1 6s1 6s1 6s1 6s1 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 6u3 71b 74b 77f 7ah 7do 7gv 7k6 7n8 7q5 7t9 7t9 80h 8pj


But if you want upped shards and have some electrum, then go straight to the Platinum, I think it's the easiest way, and no need splat for that necessarily, it has relatively average results there imo.

Thanks Pervepic, but the same situation, I have no SoSe yet. All I can get are weapons in those rare spins :(

Ah OK, I still think that Platinum is the best way to get upped Shards, because it  takes less time to get spins and Sacs and Serendipity Shards are widely used there too, but depends  on taste which deck you prefer there, I usually play something bigger, but smaller decks are quicker but lose more.
