Ermm, can you give a proper description on its use? Does the money come from the game? Or is it like generosity where it takes money from your hand and give it to someone else?

You would be better off just casting 5 generosity with the 'turn rate' and cost of this card.

Maybe 5 generosity as the cost and 8 turns to cast...

A card that simply gives you gold. We've already got several of those. No need for more.

On a side note, if you don't see the value of Generosity, you have been in too few conflicts.

With the existence of banks and buried treasure, I do not see what value generosity gives other than saving the 1 or 2 % fee

These are answers experience in game reveals

Generosity drops 500k into someone else's purse directly and has piercing ability (blocking curses has less effect)

You are going to hope that your buddy drops one or two on you when an enemy sees you logged off and decides to strip your purse and fleets. Or, someone casts a FFJ on you just after log off and your trade fleets are running building up danger and again, your purse is suddenly at zero and you are not even aware.

Generosities are extremely important. You will understand once you or someone close to you is under voodoo. They can't access their bank because of Blacklist and they have no means of getting money onto their hand. They are close to losing their ships due to treasury dropping extremely low.


Though, there are a few game mechanics that counter the need of a "generosity" or someone to help you. But those are best kept as secrets.

Sell the cards for credits then sell credits for GC. It can be done... just not easy like everything else in this game. This is a good thing !
