And we got our first cosmetic pet! I’m hoping for Gem Mastery buff as least, but he is July 4th Event exclusive pet, so that’s okay. At least Snow Bunny’s friends are planning to come in the future!
Cosmetic pet? Why? what for? We already have cool looking pets, If anything, this should have some kind of extra special bonus that is rare and desirable! otherwise, why? I dont spend time looking at people’s profiles.
I believe in freedom of choice, which is sending me a clear message on what not to spend 5k gems on. How about making the cosmetic pet rescue repeatable throughout the 24 hour event? You should totally do that if you believe people deserve freedom.
On the bright side, it doesn’t have to be the 5k that others are suggesting.
Assuming absolute 0 luck, from Tier 3 to Tier 6, you can spend 1000 Gems for 10 Lil’ Freedoms. You get at least 1 from the Pet Rescue and 1 from a 3rd day login bonus for the July 4th thing if you’re still on track for that.
You need a total of 31 pets to reach Mythic.
So after Tier 1-6 (for 1,075 gems), you’d have to spend a max of 2,000 more gems: 20 * Tier 7 (100 gems) to get to 31 copies. 1900 with tomorrow’s login bonus. Hopefully your luck isn’t absolutely horrible and you can get extra pets from the baskets while purchasing Tiers which will cut the cost down more.
You’d be hard pressed to find a bigger waste of gems. 3000 gems to get him to mythic and what do you get in return? 20 gems and part way to a minor orb.
Cosmetic pets shouldn’t exist. They should be at least +5 to a gem mastery.
It does seem a little silly. Right now there’s barely a sliver of incentive to get cosmetic pets to mythic.
Unless later on something is going to be added that’ll be impossible to get if you didn’t have the foresight to get mythic cosmetic pets now… but that’s just me being cynical.
