    What a $100 Chest of Gems bought me...

    I've played this game for about 7 months -- I'm level 96 and, until a day ago, had spent no more than $100 total. However, I had an influx of iTunes Cards in my life so decided to buy the Chest of Gems... $100 and 14000 Gems.

    This is what it bought me...

    -Upgraded one X-Bow from level 2 to 3
    -Upgraded the other X-Bow from 1-3
    -Filled up my Dark Elixir and began upgrading my Golem to Lev 2


    Then it was all gone.


    Yikes... This game is freaking expensive. Not sure I'll ever do that again.

    *facepalm*...because you used the gems to buy resources. Never use gems to buy resources, it is such a waste

    Only use gems to speed thing up. That could have been soooooo much more useful.

    No, half the cost of my Gems was on time -- not resources. I instantly upgraded the X-Bows... Assuming you think spending them on speeding things up is better? How so?

    Because gaining resources is easy.

    Congrats on your maxed xBow. You just saved about a month of your game time. xD

    You should have farmed the resources needed for the upgrade and then used the gems to finish the building time. It'll take a bit longer, but your gems go to better use

    lol not sure if srs post.


    but raiding for resources takes less time than waiting for upgrades at your level. you could fill your stores in under the time it takes to upgrade some of the defensive structures ie teslas xbows maxxing wizards etc.
