I am not wishing to start a gem debate here, just generally curious. I just want to know who else got all five builders by completing achievements? I finally got my fifth builder on xmas day 2013 (1000 gems for 2600 trophies) and it was the best gift to myself ever! It took me just under ten months but I did it!
Who else get to their five builders with achievement/obstacle gems only? How long did it take?
Why did you do it though?Just out out of principle?And also does that mean that you've never boosted or gemmed anything,even during the 1 gem boost?
I got 2-3 legit, 4 bought, saved 800 and bought 10$ for the rest of 5. So 20 total, But $30 dollars back pre th7, Idk why I was stupid... peer pressure...
As I said, I don't wish to get into gem debates here. I did it because I wanted the challenge of doing it without buying gems. I have gemmed barracks and spells during 1 gem boosts but that is it for buildings or collectors. I have spent very little outside of that.Quote:

Haven't personally but my friend has got all 5 without buying any, he's probably played for about as long as you, if not a little longer, he's in the same clan as me, IGN callum if u wanna check him out.
I got my first four builders without buying gems, and I'm planning to get my 5th the same way.
Not saying that buying gems is bad, just that I don't want to.:p
Great! How many do you have saved now? Do you have your 2600 trophy achievement yet? Good luck!!Quote:

That's an awesome accomplishment! Not many can (truly) say they got all 5 builders without buying the last one! I saved for 4 builders without gems, but I decided to buy the fifth one with gift money because the sooner I have it, the faster I will progress. I could've also just saved gems and got it without money, but I know I love this game and a small investment would make it more enjoyable.Quote:

Go ahead, laugh.:p
:rolleyes:
I honestly didn't think there would be so few people. I didn't think it was that hard to do really? I knew I would have to wait a lot longer than most but I thought there would be plenty of others who got all five this way. I know of three others personally from other clan members or friends. Either way, good luck to those trying to do it and those who have bought theirs! We're all in it together!!Quote:

He means never spent money to acquire gems, not didnt use gems. If you took it that literally, he wouldnt be able to get the builder without gemsQuote:

19th day of CoC i had my 4th builder through achievements. ( would have been sooner if i realized that Th sniping exists above 1250 range :p )
Got third in 5th day. after staying in 3 days noob shield, it took me 2 days worth clashing to figure out th sniping. (i didn't read about this on wikia )
255 gems at the moment. i was pursuing masters in Th 7 but gave up @ 2412 because even with 1 k gems i won't get the rest easily.
Just need those 750 gems (1 k are easy from masters)
I don't even know what this means? Too stingy to buy money? Getting a builder from a website? Am I that much of a noob here I don;t get the context to this statement?Quote:

I could have gotten a 5th builder if I saved more and push myself to Masters for the 1K gems 2 months ago, but I dont feel like doing so,as I personally felt that I wont need a 5th anytime soon as now I maxed TH9 and all my builders are taking a vacation, and I only a farm half a day per week so even I go TH10 I dont think I can keep all of them occupied with my farming pace.
He is probably saying that he used one of those illegal ♥♥♥♥ websites to get the gems, which is against supercell's policyQuote:

Translation: He was too stingy to spend money. Instead, he used a site like appbounty or appnana where u accumalate points in exchange for gift cards. He prob got $10 from it and got his 5th builder like that. So he didnt spend money but got his 5th builder using a itunes card from points.Quote:
