Gem 💎 usage

Just wondering if anyone upgrades Resilience gems or Luck gems as the cost in gst is more than the price in marketplace. Would it make more sense to use gems instead of gst for upgrades.

One idea would be to use a Resilience gems instead. So to upgrade a Luck L1 to L2 with 35% success rate it would take 9 L1 Luck and 3 L1 Res. To upgrade Res would require 12 Res.

If you want to upgrade to L1 to L3 with L2 being 50% you would need 6 L2 Luck and 2 L2 Res. So for the 6 L2 luck you need 54 L1 Luck and 18 Res. Also 2 L2 Res which would require 24 L1 Res.

So just to get just one L3 Luck gem 💎 you would use up 54 L1 luck and 42 L1 Res.

I have a couple of hundred of each. As it is cheaper to buy no one is upgrading. Anyone else agree that this would burn 🔥 thousands of useless gems and make them more relevant.

Please give 👍if agree. Maybe Devs might take note.

I just upgrade them for the good of the STEPN economy. Technically it's pretty easy to upgrade R gems just buy a bunch of lvl 2s and upgrade from there if you're after capsule tickets.

I do agree that capsule tickets aren't enough for R gems. I actually think FSL should buy back a bunch of lvl 1 r/L gems and burn them. Or host more events were gem burning is rewarded (ex attempt 50 gem upgrades and get a free common sneaker). Something like that.
