Silver: Farming, Earning, & Saving

Silver: Farming, Earning & Saving

Vibranium: 10,000 Silver

Lack of silver (or bad silver management) is a constant problem that I see players have in Marvel War of Heroes.  Most new players will come across a lack of silver at least once while leveling their first few decks.  However, I am confident that with a little knowledge and planning that players should never have need for silver.  This guide will cover all things "silver" and will include the uses of silver, ways to earn silver, and tips on how to maximize your silver earning & saving.

1. Use of Silver

In Marvel War of Heroes, silver is primarily used during the card leveling process.  This includes; leveling, fusing, and ability boosting.  Silver is almost never used as a form of in-game currency to purchase cards and items from other players.  The only time that I see silver being used in player to player transactions is when a player is all out of silver and doesn't have time (or knowledge) on how to earn the silver themselves.  That is all you really need to know about the uses of silver in this game.

2. How to Earn Silver

There are several different ways to earn silver.  Some are quick and simple.  While some are more time consuming and annoying.  I will break up this section into multiple methods to earn silver:

• Missions:  Playing through missions is probably the easiest and most basic way to earn silver.  Every time you hit the opponent you will earn some silver.  You also have a chance of pulling some silver out of one of the chests that randomly drop while playing missions.  The amount of silver that you can potentially earn playing missions rises with the level of the mission.  However, playing through the higher level missions isn't necessarily a better way to earn silver.  I'll talk more about this in the "Maximizing Your Silver" section below.

• Selling Cards:  This one is simple.  In the roster menu you are given the option to sell your cards for a set amount of silver.  Each card is worth a set amount of silver depending on it's rarity and attributes.  You can sell any card that you want this way, but I recommend only selling common and non-ability uncommon cards.  Any other card (except Vibranium) should not be sold for silver.  You are better off saving your ability uncommon,  rare, etc. for ability boosting your cards.

• Participate in Events:  This is by far the best way to earn silver.  A lot of silver in fact.  Iso Shards are earned and exchanged in every event for rewards.  A good part of these available rewards are various amounts of silver.  I earn millions and millions of silver every event just by exchanging the Iso Shards.  I can not stress any more that this is the best way to earn massive amounts of silver!

• Trading:  Trading cards and items for silver is not very popular, but some players do trade this way.  I usually see players adding some silver to a trade to sweeten a deal.  Sometimes I see desperate players buying silver with pp.  I don't recommend using your pp to buy silver, but if you really need some to ability boost a new Legendary card the normal exchange rate is 1 pp = 1 million silver.  Note:  This exchange rate is based off of today's market (08/09/2013) and can change at any time. 

3. Maximizing Silver Earnings and Savings

Now that you know all of the uses of silver and how to earn it.  I will share with you some strategy that I use to maximize my silver earnings and savings:

• Boosting Cards:  Boosting new cards correctly is very important in terms of saving silver.  I have already posted a Card Leveling Guide and a Card Boosting Guide that detail how to properly level, fuse, and ability boost cards.  If you are not familiar with these techniques please learn them quickly as they are essential for playing this game correctly.   A quick summary of how this saves you silver is as follows:  It costs more silver to boost a card as it's level is increased.  Boosting cards with the right feeders at the right points will save you a lot of silver in the long run.

• Rally Cards:  A quick way to earn silver is to exchange your rally points for rally cards and sell them.  Sell all of the common and non-ability uncommon cards (keep ability uncommon and higher cards for card ability boosting).  A lot of silver can be earned in a short amount of time using this method.  Experienced players usually have a present list full of unused rally points that were earned during events.  This method may not be very efficient for newer players though.

• Mission 2 Farming Technique:  This is a technique that I used when I was a new player.  It is long and tedious, but effective.  What you want to do is play through Mission 2 (use Mission 2-3 & 2-4 if you also want to save up some ability feeders) until you have collected the maximum amount of cards.  Then sell the cards that you collected.  Repeat this process until you have enough silver for your boost or fusion.  Again, this is not a desired method of earning silver, but it is effective over time.  You earn silver for each enemy attack, through random present drops, and by selling the cards that you have earned.
