How to farm crafting souls

By now, the campaign is just an introduction to the game and there are no additional chapters once you finish it. It is likely that future expansions may include additional campaigns, but anyway that’s not going to happen until (probably) next year.

There’s no purpose in playing again the campaign episodes, apart from personal enjoyment. All the cards you didn’t choose when given the option can be obtained in card packs or just crafted, so don’t worry about it. Similarly, you will notice that some cards “evolve” into better cards when you reach a certain player level, and sometimes you’ll be given a choice between two “evolutions”; both of them can be also pulled from packs or crafted, so don’t worry if you mess it up.

However, I’ll tell you that your avatar has indeed a certain impact in the cards you’ll be given for free when reaching a certain player level. The most important milestones (if I remember correctly) are level 24 and 32, because you’ll be given a legendary card related to your race. I suggest you to keep this in mind and have a look at the card database in this very website before reaching that point, so you can change your avatar in order to try to get the cards you want.

Finally, soul gems are mostly obtained from “burning” your duplicate cards (or, most accurately, cards exceeding the 3 copies you can play in a deck). Of course, you can in fact convert any card into soul gems, but actually there are not so many plainly bad cards, so collecting them all is the ideal choice. That means that, since you’re new to the game and are missing almost all cards, it’s honestly going to be a bit hard for you to gather soul gems. Just try to be patient and don’t spend your gems by now, since the game is very rewarding during your first days and you’ll get a lot of common and rare cards from packs and level up rewards in a couple of weeks. Ideally, you should use your gems to craft epic or legendary cards once you have an idea of the kind of deck you want to play, since they are far less likely to be so easily collected.

What I personally recommend you to do at this point is starting to invest your gold in Solo Arena mode, which will net you a lot of rewards in the form of card packs and soul gems, as well as allowing you to play with different cards and improve your general play skills.

And well, that’s it. We’ll be glad to help you whenever possible.

PS: Actually, ESL is receiving today a new patch in which, apart from a great main menu redesign, we’ll be given the option to purchase a special Welcome Pack. This will be only obtainable with real money (probably 5€/$5), but it’s going to be a nice collection boost for almost any player: 10 card packs and a guaranteed random legendary card. It’s maybe too soon for you to decide if you’re willing to spend money in the game, but the value/cost relationship is amazing.

Wish I had read this yesterday – hit 32 and had the Wood Elf avatar because I liked his in-game emotes – got the crappy G/R legend

Well, I don’t think it’s THAT bad… It’s just Piercing Javelin plus Deadly Draugr in a single card, and it can target Nahagliiv… But yes, I suppose you’d have prefered to get Ungolim

Well, the game took pity on me and gave me three legends in my 10 Starter Packs, so it’s not all bad
