SigmaStroud 1 Posted May 2, 2016 So I've honestly enjoyed the game so far and have earned enough gems for a couple packs, but now I'm out of campaign missions. I've gotten a couple decent medals, but nothing too great from them. Now, with all these events happening every week, how the heck am I supposed to have enough gems for these? It takes WEEKS of logging in every day to earn 3k gems and by that time, you miss the event. I have no problem with microtransactions in a game like this, I can even deal with the log in every day to get gems, but there HAS to be a way to actually get enough gems aside from paying $15 every darned week for timed-events. Is there any way around this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SigmaStroud 1 Posted May 2, 2016 None that I can see at the moment Well releasing time-exclusive events is kinda bull then. As it stands, it takes at LEAST 3-4 weeks of logging in every single day in order to achieve 3k. If they're looking for money, $15 is a little (LOT) much to pay for a mobile game. Especially on a weekly basis. 1 riku1995 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is which is why I try not to spend my jewels to much unless I need to and if I do its only the 600 pack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinode 3,056 Posted May 2, 2016 What you should be doing is saving them as much as possible. As in, not jumping in at the first event that seems worth it. Look online and see if there are any upcoming Medals that you really want and save up for them, but learn to be patient. It's good to always have a spare 3k in case of a surprise. being F2P, you can't get all you want, but you CAN manage what you have well. 2 Solarclaw and Hix reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted May 2, 2016 Honestly with how little you actually obtain in-game Jewels, I don't understand why they just don't make these 3000 deals just 1500 instead, it's still a reasonably high price and it's much more achievable within a week-long period (though just barely if you're starting from broke). Cause with no new quests where you can get 150-300 every 5th story quest or so, there's almost no sure way to get more other than to pay that $15 a week, and I am TRYING to save for a con this month, so I can't invest in that anymore at least until next month. I have 3000 now, but now there's the Zootopia boards and the deals and everything else and now I don't know what to spend anything on. I don't know if I should just hoard everything and keep saving up and buffing my current medals (I mean, my storage is kind of tight right now) or invest in whatever is still available before it goes away. I mean, there's 2 weeks until the Zootopia stuff is gone, but the other stuff might be valuable too and like you said, it takes a while to save up without purchasing more jewels, so I really don't know where I stand. It's not that I'm against microtransactions like this, I just wish that they either toned down the price of the jewels or the price of the deals to make it more reasonable, as it stands now this is way too steep, it's as if they expect that I have nothing better to do or spend on than this game.

Oli 1,679 Posted May 2, 2016 What's the Daily Gems Quest? *Quests. Excuse my grammar. There are 3 extra quest updated daily with 3 different missions. So you can gain 90 extra jewels each day. As for now, this is only available in the japanese version. 1 xxClouDxxmoon reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrman92 3 Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) very interesting i do agree that next update should come halfway through the month and it should include the Daily Jewel/Jem's Quest otherwise these limited edition boards are pointless unless you plan on spending money on the game Edited May 3, 2016 by Mrman92 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxClouDxxmoon 901 Posted May 3, 2016 Just make sure when you're saving you actually spend it wisely. There could be a better deal around the corner. And the Daily Quests sound awesome ^^ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for now, this is only available in the japanese version. Nope, it's a single quest now in JPUx. It offers 200 jewels a day. Before the latest JPN update it used to be 3 daily jewel quests, which added up to 180-200 jewels depending on the day.

Well in my opinion that current event wasn't as good as the last. then how will we know about these deals coming up? I have no idea :biggrin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Swagblader 280 Posted May 4, 2016 Then in theory, you shouldn't ever spend your jewels. Even if the current event is good, how do you know the next isn't going to be better? We don't. But all we can do is complain to SE about how they f'ed up the Zootopia medals, and how they are not getting our hard earned cash if the damn medal can't even raise attack by 2 tiers.
