What do you spend your Gems on?
Yesterday I spent $25 to get my fifth builder, lvl3 Dragon upgrade had 3days to go so I finished that to use since we were in the middle of a war, and I have around 600 left for boosting barracks for farming.
Ofc Builders are the most important useful way to use gems but 5th builder was 2,000 gems so no way Ill get that unless I buy a google play card.
I usually spend my Gems on.....
Boosting Barracks, I have 2 lvl9 and 2 lvl7 Barracks, I usually boost the 2 lvl9 Barracks.
Boosting King: When I boost 2 Barracks I usually boost my King too.
Emergency War Army: happened a couple times where I loose track of time and theres less than an hour left in war mode and I still have both attacks!! Boosting wouldnt be fast enpugh, so I gem my war army and spells, very pricey, almost 150 gems for 10 Dragons and 3 Rage Spells, but I cant let my team down!!
Freeing up a builder thats almost done, esp when sitting on alot of Dark Elixir: So my Wizard Tower has 30min to finish, I cant wait bc I have to go do smth, but I have the 20,000 DE to start my king upgrading to lvl5, no shield and if I log off there goes 1,500 DE from some th9 destroying my base....
So instead of getting my DE raided Ill finish if theres like 30min or less to go and i cant wait it out online. Then I can dump that 20k into my King and not worry about it.
That has only happened once before though, if its a gold or regular elixir upgrade Im not that worried since its not nearly as big of a grind to farm that back......
I NEVER gem gold elixir or DE!! Thats prob the worst way to spend your gems, to fill my gold and elixir from 0 to 6 million each I think its something like 3,000+ gems, so like $25, crazy.
I also never spend gems to "wake up" my King, its dumb to spend 40+ Gems to Heal him instead of waiting 30min when you can boost him for less than 1/4 the cost, you still have to wait around 7min but it lasts for 2 hours.
Over a corse of spending the same 40 gems to heal your King once, you can boost him 4x and he will get healed a total of 40-50 times.
Also for Clan Troop Requests instead of waiting 20min I think its 41 gems to 'request now' like maybe a war total emergency, but other than that boost 2 barracks my king and spell factory.
Boosting the Spell Factory I have done a few times but when Im farming I hardly ever use spells, so theres not really any point, maybe when im a higher level or trophy pushing....
If you use alot of spells 7min Lightning and Healing Spells and 11min Rage Spells beat how they normally take SOOOOOOO long.
So what do you spend gems on? WHat do you think is a good way to spend gems? What is a bad way to spend them???
Worst use of gems is to use for gold to 'skip' when searching for a raid hahah, I think its like 3 or 4 gems every single skip!!! ;)
