Welcome, today we are going to take a look at in ESO (Elder Scrolls Online). The trick will only work if the Saint Pelin Patron Deck is part of the game, which mostly is the case because it is one of the four starter Patron Decks that you gain after completing the Tutorial. The card that we are going to take a look at is the Fortify card.
When you start a match you will always have the Fortify card in your Draw or Hand. Now what's exactly the problem with this card? Good cards often cost 5 points or more and when you start with four Gold cards and the Fortify card, you will miss out on the juicy stuff. Because you will only have 4 Coins and 1 Power. Instead of the needed 5 Coins to purchase the good cards.
: If you get the Fortify card in your hand, spend all the cards and then use the Treasury in the middle to swap the Fortify card with a Writ of Coin card. The Writ of Coin cards give you 2 Coins instead of just 1. Now you will always get 5 or 6 Coins in any turn at the beginning of the match. While the other player might be stuck with just 4 Coins and 1 Power, basically giving him no chance to collect the higher level cards.
The situation in the image below showcases the issue perfectly. I received 4 Coins and 1 Power because I had 4 Gold cards and 1 Fortify card, locking me out of the juicy cards that are crossed out on the left side. Now I sacrifice my Fortify card and turn it into a Writ of Coin. Going forward I will always have 5 or 6 Coins available to get better cards.
Of course sometimes there are also decent cards that cost around 3-4 Coins (Archers' Volley, Reinforcements, Siege Weapon Volley), then it might be better to snag those instead of doing this trick. However, in most cases from my own experienceI use this tactic very often if the Saint Pelin Patron Deck is present.
I hope this article gave you a better starting position and explanation of how to tackle the new card game Tales of Tribute for ESO(Elder Scrolls Online). On our Tales of Tribute Overview page you can find all of the Patrons and Cards and guides on how to unlock the other Patron Decks (Red Eagle,Rajhin,Orgnum,Ansei)
