Just like when completing the Knight class, now I don’t have to touch this one again either

Nice gem stash
you buried the lede, right? 138K gems.
How on earth do you have 8.6 million gems and 138k gems but just now getting Zuul’Goth? 
another milestone completed

It’s not a matter of “and” but a matter of “because”.
If you don’t waste gems chasing leaderboards (or pets) then they can really rack up.
I believe he is also from the BNLT time of the GoW history.
BNLT meaning of course Before they Nerfed Legendary Tasks. They used to have gems available in them.

Pretty much, yeah, except I wasn’t exactly getting gems from legendary tasks back when that was a thing. My gems would steadily grow and then get a big portion wiped out by bad luck through about late 2017, and have generally been an upward trend monthly since then. Building a gem stash over a huge amount of time isn’t hard when you get most feasible tributes and only buy in what is necessary and have a low interaction with events due to having not that high of a playtime overall. And obviously no leaderboards, because theres no way I could afford the time expenditure to even reach top 100 on a single account (and no, not because I have multiple accounts, because most don’t even get any battles on most days).
I use a different collection strategy for each account, but the main one sees the bulk of any playtime.
(all legendaries, 21 mythics, of those I care about missing Euryali, acct is 3+ years old but in a casual guild the whole time, not even finishing all basic tasks and no kingdoms except magic attack above 5*, and most everything else at level 9, yes, level 9)
(all legendaries, 31 mythics, all meta picks I care about for general use but missing a few “usable” ones, acct is 3+ years old, kingdoms all at between 5 and 9 stars, guild was a 4-6 LT guild before epic tasks and is now a 0-1 ET guild)
(12 mythics, missing some meta picks, only a few I’d care about crafting, acct is 2 years old in June, casual guild for over 95% of that, missing Borealis and most imps, just got my last epic a couple weeks ago, kingdoms all at 4 stars, been using my gems to supplement event keys)
And yeah, the last post really was to show off my (late) Zuul rather than my gems. I’m sure my gem pile has been in the background various other screenshots I’ve posted since at least the 100k mark. The gems stashes come from what I’ve been saying to do all along about what is and is not a smart pick to either circle back to give you more purchasing power long term, unlock content, or give you tangible bonuses to be more efficient at that content, rather than using them to rush other milestones the game gives you but are functionally dead ends in the RPG progression loop. I’m missing a lot of potential stats, even on my main (a sizeable number completely intentionally, in fact), but it only matters for content where I get hard-stat checked, which is already generally not fun for me so not something I care to play anyways.

When last did someone get tributes as “much” as this? Lol.
Pretty sure I am not gonna buy the lottery tonight.

Whoever dies with the biggest gem hoard wins, right guys?
The win only counts if they bequeath their account to me, though.
Would be cool to see who has the most though.
What’s considered “a lot”?
I scrimped and saved for years to get a stash of 100k. Now I keep that as a minimum base amount and spend any gems over that amount on whatever I feel like.

I’m actually not sure what a lot is, since it’s all relative. Personally, I would think that the median for the entire population of players to be in the mid to low thousands. Then maybe top 10% to have over 50k, top 5% to have over 100k and top 1% to have over 200k.
All just guesstimates of course. But that’s how I imagine the shape of the curve to look.
Yeah, I look forward to the day I can actually use the class I want for all the different events instead of the class I’m levelling. I truly hope they never increase champion xp beyond lv100.

All rare troops upgraded! Soul count is hurting for sure.
Random notes:
- Last rare upgraded was Warhound; second-to-last was Warlock.
- The “Casual PvP” team is actually a PvP defense, though it can function on offense as well.
- Yasmine Purple does not contain Yasmine, and only has 2 purple troops in it.
- Last time I checked, Bomb gets censored now. The team originally had Sunbird and Firebomb but has now been converted to a Soul Farming team.
- I think its a bad UI design where I can’t display 2 rows of medals owned. It shows one and cuts off the number for the second row, which is the one thing that probably matters.
Troops at Gold:
2 Mythics
7 Legendaries
14 Epics
19 Ultra-Rares
143 Rares

Are you ok? Do you need help? The first step is admitting you have a problem.
