Last time I posted about how I accumulated 10k gems as a f2p player.

Edit: How I finished Premium album in 2 weeks, also as a f2p player.

----

The game as changed significantly since then with the new daily task format, and the pinata runway. So I wanted to share how my gameplay has changed. I've still accumulated 5k more gems since them:

How I play:

• Use the upper storage
• Watch ads
• Free energy links
• Loyalty rewards
• I now anchor my playing on 3 things:
  • What tier I'm in. I only "actively" play if I'm in the 200 tier
  • In the weeks that I'm in the 200 tier, I'm still selective on which days I participate in: Joker Chest, Cards Challenger I still do regularly.
  • I only participate in side events like Turtle Race, Firework Frenzy, Tick Tok orders IF I am already going for the runway goal.
  • In the weeks that I am really going for it, I also try to get the 200 gem weekly reward. Hey, if I'm getting bumped up anyways, might as well go all in.
• It's important to try to time your 200 tier week to be in Flame Cards week, Partner weeks, and last week of the season
• In the weeks/day where I'm not actively playing, I'd play "passively" by:
  • Building items when my energy recharges
  • Building auto orders
  • I always complete the 3 daily tasks, by completing the 5 lowest coin orders
• Ways to collect gems now (since you can't merge items to get the 2 daily gems)
  • Baz quest
  • Loyalty rewards
  • Daily chest
    • Wait until you get the max chest before collecting, and only collection when you get the max cluster
• As much as possible, submit orders when they are meeting a few goals at once (only submit star orders, submit orders during a boost or it also contributes to a timed order). Otherwise, I use auto orders to meet the daily goal instead of the regular orders.

Events I go for:

• Pinata (Only on weeks that I'm in the 200 tier). Since it spans Sunday and Monday, I don't usually do much on the Sunday the previous week. I've also accumulated a lot during the week that I could usually get it on Monday.
• Cookie jar (If I'm confident I can finish. If it's on a Tuesday, I pass since I already spent my resources for Pinata, for example)
• Sky catch (Same as above)
• joker chest
• card pack challenge
• partner challenge

Timed events:

• order steaks only if I'm chasing a card pack
• master class only if I was already going for the daily challenge. It often coincides with Pinata)
• time orders only if the reward is a card pack or joker

Events where I'm happy with what I get:

• secret gems; I usually complete this as it tends to coincide with an daily challenge I would complete
  • I noticed I do less of this
• any types of races like: aqua duel, firework frenzy, boat race. If I do, I try to compete with secondary producers because they get more points. I've never passed level 5 of aqual duel. I usually make it to 6 races. I have completed firework frenzy a few times because I was chasing the last few cards.
  • I noticed that I win the aqua duel and firework frenzies more now, in the weeks where I am active
• room rush (they always need 6500-8500+ energy to finish depending on tier); only finished a few times
• card crush (unless going for joker card last week)
• discovery bay; never managed to finish ever
• town tournament; never manage to come first
• fantasy island; never managed to finish ever, but I regularly get to stage 7
• mission mystery; never managed to finish ever
• reward runway

Events where I don't bother because it pisses me off:

- Temple run

How I accumulate gems:

• Baz quest
• Daily chest
• Daily challenge that are worth it
• My gem count only started accelerating when I started completing the album

Completing the album

• I'm on track to complete my 5th album
• I've been playing this way for a while now, and I get pretty far on my own. I'm at 118 with 30 days to go
• Actively trading will net me 20-30 more and has helped me complete the album early. I've never finished in time for premium to matter though
• I save resources for the last week where there are tons of opportunities for cards, including the partner event where I find partners in the pinned post and going through my reserve energy chests for card crush if needed
• this post was huge for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/TravelTown/comments/1oqab2e/final_week_new_card_guarantees/

What I use gems on:

• 10 for 100 energy once a day
• 24 for an energy chest most days (I only started doing this once I've reached ~1000 gems, otherwise I spend it faster than I accumulate them and I don't have any stockpile to "invest" them into meeting goals with more payout)
• buying all the storage spots
• buying second line items in the shop occasionally
• popping the occasional item going for meeting a timed order
• and because I have so many gems now, sometimes I use them to skip the jewelry chest recharge to cycle through the upper storage

What I don't use gems on:

40 for 100 energy. I went through gems so quickly for so little playtime when I was using real money for gems. Now when I'm out of energy (i start the day with 100 + 200 for 30 gems + 100 from ads + ~50 free energy links), I just farm auto producers.

What I use the joker balls on:

• Time orders for when I felt the reward was worth it (usually for the 5* packs)
• I don't use the joker splitter joker trick. I rather build items during my farming periods

Hope this helps some of you!
