I decided to do some rough calcs so I know how many FREE gems I earn every month.
Can anyone kindly check if they have the time? I can’t pretend that I’ll get all of it right! @Garanwyn
Thanks guys.
With formula and without formula spreadsheets are below.
Conservative key assumptions
1-2 gems earnt on average per Gem-earning event in a worst case scenario, say 1.5 per event.
3-4 gems earnt on average per Gem-earning event in a normal case scenario, say 3.5 per event.
Best case scenarios of 10, 20, 50 gems rarely occur so will exclude from analysis except for elemental chest
The player is neither hardcore (ie a player who will stay up in the nether hours) and neither easy-going and will regularly finish Gem-earning events (Average player).
The alliance is made up of players who are like the Average player.
Ignore Atlantis Rising and Atlantis Coins.
Gem-earning events include:
Mystic vision (assume twice a day, third requires the Average player to stay up at night)
Monster chest (assume 1-2 times a day, say 1.5 a day)
Heroes chest (say 1 time a day)
Titan-killing, each titan killed (say 3-4 titans killed a week, say 3.5 a week or 0.5 a day)
Titan chest, filled after 1.5 weeks.
Collect Gems II and Collect Gems I quests (say 2 times each per month, 10 gems for Collect Gems I and 18 gems for Collect Gems II = 20 + 36 per month = 56)
Raids tournament (weekly)
Alliance War result (assume the gems earnt is the same for both Win or Lose – to be conservative.)
Elemental chest (conservatively, assume appear once a month and assume earn 10 gems in worst case, and earn 20 in average case)
Alliance war chest (assume 50% win rate. Therefore will take 9 wars to fill 25 = 4 * 5 + 4 * 1 + 1*X ie. 4.5 weeks. Assume earn 10 gems)
Atlantis coins make it look like FTP get more gems than that because of more summons but your calculation sounds right to me. Counting gems only, some months I made 1 pull only, some months 2.
I’d take out a few gems in raid chest / monster chest’s worst case scenario. I’m not a hardcore FTP player so I had to speed up those chests by using 1 gem to keep them in my schedule of 2 monster chests / 1 raid chest per day.
I don’t keep close track, but this matches my experience quite well. The distribution is probably a bit different for me but it balances out.
I do a couple of pulls during the challenge event each month and have been slowly increasing my roster size. Some months I have the 100 gems for it, some I don’t. So yes, 650 or so.
If one pushed to get more chests done I imagine somewhere around 800 is possible.
Back in 2018 for a couple of months I kept track of the exact number of gems I was earning for free, both accounts. Average player here, 3 chest per day (maybe kinda lazy during Sundays). Just anecdotal, I know, but without War Chests and Tournaments, these were my results
Can’t confirm as i more often then not skipping timer, so i consume some of that gems and earn some more from more elemental chest.
I don’t have the numbers but i’m quite sure i earn less gems of that calculation, but still at the end of the month my gems are higher then the previous month.
TL;DR: i still overall get gems from skipping, but less of what i would have for NOT skipping.
I recall back when i start 2 years ago or so i roughly get 350 gems per month, with a lot less energy flags and a lot less events.
Probably 600 is a bit much, i would say more about 500.
My best indicator has been the Emblem sales: 175 gems for 10 emblems, or 350 gems for 20 emblems. This occurs every 10 days, and i was able to sustain purchasing 20 emblems for 350 gems using only free gems. Therefore, i use my baseline of 350 gems every 10 days, or roughly 1000 gems per month.
Maybe i’m a bit above average, as i will wait 20-30 minutes before falling asleep to watch a mystic vision, or finish a monster chest.
This is taken from my tracking sheet. Included on the sheet are titan loot and all possible chests.
My alliance kills all titans so titan loot and chests will be paying gems at a more frequent rate than most players, and they are the two highest paying sources of daily gems, but the missing data from war victories and mystic vision that I do not track should offset that. (I’m not sure that raid tournament loot contains gems but I can’t really remember, it isn’t on the loot tier list though)
So I would say your calcs are pretty good.
I complete 1.71 raid chests per day and 1.35 monster chests. I don’t spend to reopen monster chest, and raid chest gets opened at 4 or 5 gem cost, in terms of daily expenditure.
