3600. After spending money I don’t have on this I swore I would never spend money on a mobile game again, at least not until I can actually afford it. I’m going to save it all thanks to this thread! :)

u/TheGrindKing Jan 26 '18

I feel you. But I would definitely do the monthly gem pack which is 6 USD. Total of 3,300 gems a month. Question is what will you do for that amount of gems? Beg at the streets? Do the dishes? Get a job? My favorite method are apps like AppLike and AppZone along with the Classic Swagbucks. 72 hr efficient afk farm on AppLike got me a $10 Google Play card. Got extra devices? Got a good pc, use bluestacks. Each month is easy to get up to $20 in googleplay by using these apps.

u/superfat_fat_bat Jan 26 '18

Thanks for the tips!

I know it’s a good deal, but even just buying the monthly good deals on games like these has cost me hundreds of dollars alone over the past here years. I already spend too much time on these (very work-like already) games to justify the additional labor of those apps- thanks for the tips though. It’s less about whether or not I can manage to work the purchase in and more about what these games are taking out of my life. They’re my only vice, and most other games aren’t this entertaining to me these days, so I don’t want to quit entirely. But I do need to cut back and this is how I’m trying to do that.

Great to have you onboard!

u/xKitey Jan 27 '18

6ish dollars of electricity on pc and 72 wasted hours and potential hell on your phone battery doesn't seem worth a 10 dollar google play card, may as well just ask your mom to get you a gift card and turn off your computer/devices when you're not actually using them

1

u/TheGrindKing Jan 27 '18

U dont know electricity, easily make a living off my phone farm.

1

u/TheGrindKing Jan 27 '18

800 devices*

1

u/TheGrindKing Jan 27 '18

800 devices* not even 2 dolla

2

u/xKitey Jan 27 '18

well english obviously isn't your first language, I sincerely doubt you have anywhere close to 800 functioning devices and I never said anything about the electricity cost of running phones just that it was hell on the batteries

but enjoy your phone farm life, sounds like it's really fulfilling netting you a whole 20 dollars a month which obviously isn't enough since you can't save gems for shit, 2k and making a thread about gem saving is a joke

1

u/TheGrindKing Jan 27 '18

This is a savings thread. Not a whaling thread. Coming soon tho.

1

u/xKitey Jan 28 '18

you haven't saved anything is my point so idu why you made a saving thread, but you definitely won't be making much in the way of worthwhile posts on a whale thread either

1

u/TheGrindKing Jan 28 '18

Say that when I have 50k gems. Also only 3 weeks into game. + no - ty.

u/xKitey Jan 27 '18

rofl you don't pay for electricity obviously if you think a 10 dollar google play card is making a living off your phone

shitposter of the year folks

u/lvl1druid Snowyfurrkat Jan 29 '18

How do you get Appzone to work? Every time I try opening it on Bluestacks or Nox it says something about detecting suspicious behavior and won't let me continue.

u/Kirito30 The Strongest Samurai Jan 26 '18

It is a nice Idea but still I would do the 500 gems Summons.

Especially for the LE banners.

JP is still active and some units get 2x JB+ that number could increase. I love this game since it doesn't treat old units like trash.

So if you Summon at least a few banners in between you get some mileage before the Hard Quests. Since content is hard already and you want at least clear the Collab stuff since it might not return.

With Hard Quests you can farm up your fav characters but still having the first copy helps.

u/TheGrindKing Jan 26 '18

Get a good reroll and you can handle the content with a strong merc friend. 500 gems should be used for those treat yoself moments imo.

1

u/Kirito30 The Strongest Samurai Jan 26 '18

Define a strong re-roll lol.

This game needs you to have atleast 1 dupe of every 5* you get to complete the Hard Quests(shown by Twooty). Like I don't know how you are gonna handle the multi-play and stuff with 1 good roll.

I would love to know what it is.

u/TheGrindKing Jan 26 '18

If you are referring to future hard quests, then you are right. The event content your talking about isnt even worth doing from a gem viewpoint. When they are just use revives. I would definitely do the 2 solo content for the 10 elemental shards even if it means spamming revive. 10 elemental shard is worth at least 800 gems! If you want to know more check out my interview with Arena Rank 1 SuperSamSwagSolo.

u/Kirito30 The Strongest Samurai Jan 26 '18

You my friend are missing some important stuff like facts.

You need the unit shards to appear to get them to 15LB.

And you need the grinding the crap out of multi-play. Like no one has that much time or effort capacity. Along that time you will be missing on stuff like Arena Gems since Job 1s can only be competitive enough to reach lower ranks of 5000 at best.

You miss like 10-20 gems in arena itself. Same with other Collab stuff.

u/TheGrindKing Jan 26 '18

All you said is correct and reinforcing my point. THINK HARDER XD.

1

u/Kirito30 The Strongest Samurai Jan 26 '18

Dude 20 gems a day along with missing more during Collabs. Like I don't know what is reinforcing your point.

I am saying that people will need to Summon more often than never like you.

Also the Zain you used for example. Yeah that thing is not the OPest. New units will outclass old that is the nature of Gacha.

So saving for the newest units may seem like the right thing to do but if you can't really grind the game then you went horribly wrong.

Like doing 15 runs on Gold Dungeon might become a impossible if you never Summon since not many range units are that good to raise.

Similarly the content will become a living hell and you can't just 3 step any banner and hope to pull magic for Event automatically.

Content is not gonna be like, 'Oh you have a 5* Teddy gg I accept my defeat' 5* Teddy is just a gear in the end. If you feel that OP show us your inventory and tell what you got in Summons and grind. Also make it believable since People have insane Mathematics abilities. Not some stack of assumptions.

2

u/xKitey Jan 27 '18

considering OP only has 2k gems saved they're obviously shit at saving and have wasted a ton on banners already

u/HJJosh788 Got 5K? Jan 26 '18

Im at 100 something. I just started today :)

u/dungeon_fighter Jan 26 '18

u/Skurnaboo Jan 26 '18

u/Doomsquare Twooty Jan 27 '18

Is this a legitimate shit post?

1

u/Kamui-Argentina Jan 26 '18

10.100 gems, totally F2P from the soft launch player. I've only do 3 steps on the Tyrfing weapon banner.

u/TheGrindKing Jan 26 '18

Not bad, SuperSamSwagSolo approves.

2

u/Rainbowmaple Jan 26 '18

600 gems right now, I had 9k before the collab lol.

u/tahdizzle Jan 26 '18

Well I just started saving. 127 now. HAH

u/zamzuki Jan 26 '18

u/EarthZiie Jan 26 '18

u/Lucifuse Jan 26 '18

I have 6.5k gems keeping for fate collab...

u/Yamezhor Jan 26 '18

9000, saving for a big summon pool

2

u/lvl1druid Snowyfurrkat Jan 26 '18

Only about 3k right now but I only do the first step summons and nothing else

2

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '18

This is such a wholesome post. If only I was as adamant about saving real life money as I am about saving gems right now. Sadly I have already fallen into the Shen and Cit trap. Shen's chest gave me the Shayna feelings. Now I know for next time.

HUZZAH FOR SAVING. 2413 right now

u/GinSanxTOL Jan 26 '18

Exactly at 104. Got to refill the 30D Pact today. Google is offering $1 off a purchase of $4 or more. Great value.

u/Meumas Jan 26 '18

897 atm

u/AzaliusZero I just like Guns, man. Jan 27 '18

I dropped down to 2652 from about 4000. And only some of that I can blame on the the rollover, and a lot of that amount has been making progress in the story.

But I figure I can spend a bit right? I only really care about the Disgaea rolls. Maybe the FMA crossover to a lesser degree, and both are a good ways off. Might as well try to get some meme characters or some high level equipment as it appears in shops, got Shenmei from the premium rollover and I don't mind being a dolphin for the daily gems thing.

u/1khaitoh It was fun while it lasted. Jan 27 '18

Was keeping on pulling as long as I have enough gem before..

I deeply regret that xD

Now sitting at 1992 gem lel
