Money Management

[Joe21]

As I told you on chat, thanks for this awesome tutorial, that helped me a lot.

Just one suggestion: when a player is on the "wealth accumulation phase", he should distinguish between cards winnable from FG's  and cards that you must upgrade.

For example, now I'm building instaghost, and I realized the only mean to obtain an upped mitosis or GoTP is actually upgrade it.
Then i upgraded them without regret.

Thanks for this thread. Now I finally know what to do with my monies. Now I feel like I was wasting everything earlier D:

Time to grind so I can Scrooge McDuck my way out of AI3s.

i totally surport the idea of not selling cards until you have 12 copies of it in total, but i don't like the never buy or upgrade cards stuff.
i just like to try out some new ideas and change my deck from time to time, so i'm glad i have a lot of cards available to choose from.

^I agree, OP really is exaggerated. You can - actually, you should - buy all the cards. The gold amount is ridicoulus, compared to what you're able to farm later on (and compared to what upgrading costs). The same goes for keeping unupgraded cards. 6 is enough.

If you're on the wealth accumulation phase, chances are that you're saving for an FG farmer and the like. OP may seem exaggerated, but, really; why buy all cards when you can save up and get the next big farmer to make the score and or electrum double? It's pretty much just wasting electrum. Buy what you need. The rest comes through spins, or when you need to buy it.

Keeping 12 un-upgraded is so we can upgrade 6 later on. Some cards don't come upgraded to us (from Spins), so it's better to keep what we find. After all, it's free. Why not.

The basics are fine. Some of the details are disproportionate. That's all.

depends on you i guess. if you are fine with a few decks, you won't have a problem saving all your coins.
i personally like to change my decks from time to time, so i need cards.

Well the point is really this: If you don't need it, don't buy it.

The perfect scenario would be to make 1 arena grinder and 1 FG grinder (hell, they might even be the same deck), and just farm for the rest of your life until you get all of the cards/money you can. But that's obviously not going to happen. And hellfire's not going to rain down from the heavens if you decide to spend some cash on another deck, just to shake up the monotonous grinding.

Basically, just be smart with your money. And try to save up some of it in case you need it. I for one feel irresponsible if I go below ~45K electrum (which is a good money amount to stick around, as it means you could, at any given notice, fully upgrade a whole 30 card deck. I think Kev actually mentions this in the tutorial come to think of it..)

Great help to start. I am starting to save cards.... and Electrums...

I bought all the unupped cards
It just feels so good, I can live with wasting some of that money

I did this too, twice

My account was recently reset after a glitch of some kind. I lost all of my cards (to the point where I was able to play with a zero-card deck), but Zanz (praise to thee!) gave me a Nymph of every element and the average gross earnings of a level 59 (my level at the time).

First thing I did was buy 6 of every card.

And wow is it expensive! Achieving this feat is somewhere in the cost-region of a fully upped 30-card deck (45,000), but it had to be done.

For anyone feeling bad about this right now, let me quote something else from the original post:

six and twelve?

Even if you proceed to pick up your 7th Flood (which let's be honest, you wouldn't have used anyway), that's fine because (let's be honest) you probably don't have 6 upped Floods anyway!
