So in order to not derail the dev Q&A thread i am continuing this conversation here. > [@Dev Q&A (Get Your Questions In!) Thursday](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/dev-q-a-get-your-questions-in-thursday/31331/225): > > Imp of Love and Winter Imp is in the Soulforge this week, brudda. So 5 minutes ago i looked at the cost of crafting legendary troops in response to the above post… 800 diamonds each?!? Thats preposterous!! So to craft enough of them to mythic it would cost 4.8k!! I can craft 2 base mythics for that! So here we go everyone buckle up! Prepare to see me make a post that is so incredibly rare one would think it is impossible. ##WE NEED A NERF!## Devs please nerf the diamond cost of crafting legendary troops! Edit: i am a dummy! I was wrong about the cost of a mythic lol ---

Not often I disagree with you, but 800 diamonds for a Legendary troop is not that bad. If you gonna mythic it it will be expensive I agree, but that is rational. 800 diamonds to be able to get a copy of a troop that you are missing is not that bad. ---

> [@Vangor](#): > > So to craft enough of them to mythic it would cost 4.8k!! I can craft 2 base mythics for that! You do realize that ascension from legendary to mythic eats 5 cards, for a total of 4k gems, right? And that crafting a base mythic costs exactly the same, 4k gems. Math, it’s not just a good idea. 😉 ---

Yes but you need 6 copies to ascend to mythic hence the 4.8k Mathing is one of the few things i am good at ---

I’m also of the option that with a Mythic is ‘priced’ at 4k diamonds, a Legendary for 800 is in the ballpark of appropriately priced. This is NOT a comment about the rate of Diamonds a player can collect. ---

> [@Strat](#): > > I’m also of the option that with a Mythic is ‘priced’ at 4k diamonds, a Legendary for 800 is in the ballpark of appropriately priced You are right lol The cost of a mythic being 4k diamonds makes all the difference in the world!
