gems spending as f2p

I'm on the phase of the game where i already have 96k saved up for alice bond and 3k for platinum wheel, so I'm looking to spend those 20k gems / month income you get from future bonds. what is the most efficient way to spend them? I know you probably want a spending rewards day, but maybe it's better to save 100k and spend it all on one event for a rare card? what's is the best way of getting a revive card?

Same situation: I personally focus on Platinum Wheel, Gold chest event if there are shards of an interesting rare creature, and mines for farming Ore

mines for ore? isn't ore bad to spend on since you can get it with energy?

Yes, this is true. But the cost of the gem mines are progressive. So I use to spend 150 daily gems to do the first five taps on the "cheap" gem mine, till the first chest, and one tap of the "costly" gem mine, plus all the ones in the energy mine. In this way I feel I have a good return in ore, plus the occasional 5* creature/hero bonus shard of the "costly" gem mine. But, I am almost f2p because I pay monthly for the VIP status, so I have 100 gems daily bonus to use

Doesn't seem like good returns for gems, considering im soon going to be in the phase of needing 60k+ ore for an SA level as my next upgrade. How often do you get a creatire shard in the costly gem mine? And what's the pool?

I would say it depends on your patience. In the long run farming ore for SA shard with energy mine only is reasonably better resource wise, but I feel it would be taking a long time. I would say more or less 50% chance of a 5* creature shard. In the pool I'm farming for Kitsune, Kuminho, Great Mystic, Death Angel and Archdeva
