First gold card ?

[apocryte]

Hello, i would ask you how many time you need to play (approximately) until you get the first gold card ? It's been 6 day and i'm stuck with 16/20 silver card (first location).
I can't lvl up the hunter anymore (too much time necessary to reach lvl 15),
i can't lvl up the guild master anymore
i barely increase the gold bonus by 90% each run (it's really slow)

Do you have some tips ? Some build ?

[fippmeister]

What are you missing for the last four silver cards? Money or orbs?

[apocryte]

It's money (and or dps then...)

I tried to play poison but it seems weak.
I tried to play active (with each click deal 117% dps) but it's useless
i tried to play full gold (each run reach approximately +90% of the current bonus but i have to wait the hunter to lvl up in order to gain enough gold...)
I tried to play DPS (only the first skill of the hunter + the guild dps) but don't seems effective.

Poison is completely worthless until you unlock the 3rd chest.
Can you reach king rank of the merchant guild?
If you can, guild loyalty will help push you further. You'll have to rebuild your guild bonuses after each loyalty reset, but it'll be worth it in the long run.

But that's the problem ! I'm king rank (easily) but i need a gold card to do loyalty.

i'm still at 1st location too, been playing 4 days (merchant guild lv king already) (warrior rook at this moment, queen soon) need to beat 10 more monster to reach 2nd location...
i'm using warrior right now, to reach higher stage monster cause stuck at merchant too...

[tremir]

Damn. I forgot about that being a requirement.
You won't pass the first location without gold cards. Best you can do is reach the toad at the next to last point.
There isn't much I can think of other that slowly pushing your merchant guild bonus higher.
Except maybe saving up enough crystals to buy the +1 firefly for the first chest from the shop.

Well, thanks Tremir, now i know i didn't miss something. I will push my guilds bonus little by little then.

Are you using stars form merchant guild correctly? Since cards turned by stars doesn't increase card cost, it's most efficient to be used on first deck at the very beginning of the run. Use star to turn as many cards as possible and then gold for remaining one, choose firstt silver card and then rinse and repeat.

Raladan......you......are......my.................Hero !
Got my first Gold card. THIS is a real tip (i was stupid, i use the star at the end to reach one last silver card)

what should be the first gold card? Any advice ? @Raladan?

[tremir]

One of the spiders.
That's the best DPS gain you can get from a single chest 1 card, which will let you gold more cards easier.

You said 16/20 but there are 24 cards so I'm a little confused. Using the above method allows me to get 2 extra cards putting me at 16/24 cards but I find it very hard to get the money required for the rest. My current guild bonus for gold is e16 and e6 for dps bonus.

keep working on the bonuses... yesterday i got my first Gold and today i'm at 9 from the first chest

[apocryte]

That was 16/24 and his method allow me to reach the first gold card (i had enough guild bonus that's why i was so slow...)
