(And receive a gift card.)
To make a donation to Elements you need a PayPal account.
Step 1
From the Main Menu, click on "Donate via PayPal".
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd96434/donate1.jpg)
Step 2
A new tab will open in your browser with the following page. Enter the amount you would like to donate, then click "Update Total". Each increment of $5 will earn you a reward code.

Step 3
Log into PayPal.
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd96441/donate3.jpg)
Step 4
Next, you will see the following screen. Review the donation then click "Donate Now".
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd96440/donate4.jpg)
Step 5
This will take you to the code page. You will see 1 or more codes listed. Highlight and copy the code. Important: Keep this tab open so you can come back to it if anything goes wrong.
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd96439/donate5.jpg)
Step 6
While keeping the code page tab open, navigate to the tab with Elements the Game Main Menu. Then click "Redeem Code".
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd96438/donate9.jpg)
Step 7
The following page will appear. Paste your code in the box and then click "Validate Code".
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd96437/donate6.jpg)
Step 8
You will now see the cards available to choose from. They are all of the upgraded Shards and the unique foil art Chimera by vrt. Important: Now that the code has been validated, it is void from reuse. Once you click on a card, you will not be able to change it. Please look up each of the cards in the Wiki so you understand what you are getting. If you accidentally close the page you will lose your opportunity of getting a card. If you want any hope of getting help if you lose the card, you will need screenshots of your card collection before and after the redeeming, as well as a screenshot of you choosing the card itself.
(http://imageplay.net/img/m7Gbd96436/donate7.jpg)
Step 9
Enjoy your new card!

One thing I would do to improve readability, is to add subheadings. Like big "STEP 1", "STEP 2" etc.
I would also replace the "gift code" with "reward code" because that's the official name for it.

The Shards can be gotten by upgrading the Shard, you can tell which type it is by looking at the background. It is usually only obtainable from T50, where people post "farm decks" that are decks made of like :death/ :aether and 6 Eternities, etc. They let you EM them, and though that you get three of the rare (From the spin). There are also shard farms.
Smug, +Karma for helping newer people/experienced people even to donate to the game; therefore helping Zanz achieve more accomplishments.

So, is it only possible to get Shards and Chimeras? Sorry, if this is a really dumb question. :PDonating only gives you access to the Shards and alternate Chimera (all upgraded).
Winning official tournaments will give you access to Marks and Nymphs (all un-upgraded):

This has happened twice now, can you please help me, because it is really annoying.
Post by: PlayerOa on March 27, 2011, 11:07:21 am
I paid for a reward code, but my computer lagged and it didn't give me the chance to even SEE the code. It said my seesion had timed out.Did you pay just to get the Shard/Chimera?

That's not the point. It is donating, not buying.
Zanzarino have said he won't fix it. Life is hard (no pun intended) :)

No, I didn't just do it for the cards. I want to keep elements free, because it is my (2nd) favorite game. But I do think it is quite annoying. I agree that it is donating, not just buying, but it is unfair.I paid for a reward code, but my computer lagged and it didn't give me the chance to even SEE the code.

Okay, the way I put it
I paid for a reward code, but my computer lagged and it didn't give me the chance to even SEE the code.may sound like I did it just for the reward code, but seriously, I didn't.

But...I finally decided to make myself a card so that I can actually use the money in my bank, and wanted to donate to elements, probably my favorite game in the last many months!
Just wondering if the donation codes have been changed for new shards also?

Sorry for bumping a really old topic..I believe zanz said they would be.

Since I am going to make another donation soon, would anyone name a few "better" choice for gift, which lead toward a FG farming deck, or a more effective Lv3 farming deck for a new account?
If no such deck exists, just some thoughts also good :)

Sorry for bumping, but it seems better than making a new one.

Shard of Sacrifice is probably the best FG farming shard. After that, Shard of Divinity.

Thanks for the hints, Shard of Sacrifice sounds really powerful, I will give it a try.

Shard of Sacrifice is apparently very good, but i do not see, why shard of divinity is such a great card?

Take a look to this deck for example and you will see what I mean (Poison Dial Sosac):
I also suggest this topic: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,505.0.html

Upgraded sundial has zero quanta cost.

I tried using the confirmation number as my code, but that didn't work. Maybe I am doing something silly or I'm just blind, but I can't find the page to get the redemption code. I've done it before, so it can't be that hard. Can anyone help me?Edit: Zanz has taken the time to email me the code. [insert shitty joke referencing emphatic bond and shard of gratitude] Anywho, thanks :D!
Post by: Elbirn on October 12, 2012, 05:29:38 pm
It's not that big of a deal really (though I do want me a full set of alternate chimeras....mmmm.), it's just a wee bit of a letdown. More importantly, if others are experiencing this problem, it may remove incentive to donate, and Elements could really use some funding right now. :/

No, there's no way to do that. You'd have to grind arena for them.

Is there any way I can get a custom code from someone with access to the code generator?Oh, unupgraded shards, I didn't read that :3

You mean a custom code from zanz? Knowing zanz, no. Just no. :P

Can anyone tell me if it is now possible to get a Shard of Patience with a reward code?Yes, you can choose 1 shard or foil Chimera per $5 donation (so a $15 donation gives the same reward than a $5 one, but 3 $5 donations give you 3 different codes for shards or chimera

Well that didn't seem to work. I clicked make a $5 donation and it went to the next screen but it didn't give out a reward code. I've got a receipt number and a transaction code but no reward code to redeem. Anything I'm missing?
Try checking your e-mail to see if the code is given there. If not, you'll probably have to contact someone regarding the code so that you can get it. ^^;; Sorry about this.

I checked back through the emails I got verifying my donation but can't find any reward code.
I twice had 2 SoP's up on the spinner yesterday with 3 spins to get the third, and the card, but missed each time. It is like I'm being taunted! I came close to donating again to get the card but was held back by the thought that I might once again not get a code.
