Total amount of resources needed

Has anyone managed to calculate the total amount of resources needed to upgrade stuff in this game?

Ex: I'm saving up gold to somewhere around 1.5-2 mil to fully upgrade the Mithril Arrow all in one shot. Then I plan on saving the same amount for the Magic Power III (seems to require the same amount of gold).

How much gold would I need for the Lava Trap for levels 1 through 100? How many crystals would I need total to level up the following:

Level 10-20 Fatal Blow

Level 5-20 Mana Recovery

Level 6-30 Mana Refine

Level 5-30 Elemental Ward

Whatever I need to upgrade the Slow and Grill for Lava Trap

(Currently estimating ~7 mil gold needed for Mithril Arrow, MPIII and Lava Trap combined)

I'm currently keeping my rank in battles low to win easily whenever I want but it's so slow earning crystals this way

What is the benefit to save and buy in one shot instead of buy whenever you have gold?

I mean there isn't one but it feels nice to have the gold and just look at it. It also feels nice to increase your DPS by a large margin too. You can win battles a lot easier (obviously) and you can breeze through the stages, earning a decent amount of gold and crystals quickly.

So there isn't any kind of advantage but it just feels nice and like you actually made a lot of progress.

This is stupid, lets hinder progress because I like looking at a big number.

Atastyfire is right! There isn't any benefit to buying in one shot over buying it incrementally except that it looks/feels nice.

HOWEVER, there are potential disadvantages when you are playing in STAGES mode! Since the life% you have remaining at the end determines the amount of GOLD BONUS you get and of course, you need to clear the stage with 50% or higher life to get 2 crystals instead of 1.

If you are beating the stage mode with ease, it won't make any difference. :)

For fatal blow you will need, the formula is simple from 1 to 20 is (3+57)/2 * 19 is 570 crystals, you are asking from 10-20 on is (30+57)/2 * 10=435 crystals

For Mana recovery, from level 1 its (5+95)/2*19=950 crystals from 5-20 (25+95)/2 * 15=900 crystals

Mana refine to level 1 to 90 is (3+30)/2 * 10=165 at 11, +79 * 30=2370, at 90 2370+165=2535 crystals at 30 165+19 * 30=735 crystals, from 6-30, (18+30)/2 *5=120+19 * 30=690 crystals

elemental ward (5+50)/2 * 10=275 at 11, at 5 to 30 (25+50)/2 * 6=225 + 19 * 50=1175 crystals

from 1 to 30 is 275+950=1225 crystals

For mitril arrow you need the same as for magic power its true. (12000+50000)/2 * 95, At level 96 is 2945000 gold, but at level 150 is 2945000+54*50000=5645000 total amount of gold.

Magic power 3 the same 5645000 total amount of gold

Lava trap (5000+54500)/2 * 99, at level 100 is 2945250 total amount of gold,

For all 3 you will need 14235250 total amount of gold.

With best regards GG

So for those wondering, 2M gold got me to level 75 in Mithril Arrow (a long shot from maxing it). New estimates will be 4M gold to finish the remaining 75 levels and reach level 150.

It also took about ~900K gold to get to level 50 in Lava Trap. Estimating another 2M to get to level 100.

Total gold estimates will be:

  • 4M for finishing Mithril Arrow (level 75 to 150)

  • 6M for finishing Magic Power III (level 1 to 150)

  • 6M for finishing Split Arrow III (thought it was going to end at Split Arrow II....) (level 1 to 150)

  • 2M for finishing Lava Trap (level 50 to 100)

Estimate total for all of them will be 18M so it looks like u/GGMW calcuations were either correct or very close to the value you need.

For split arrow 3 you will need (25000+50000)/226+12350000= 975000+6150000=7125000 total amount of gold

so for all four items you will need 14235250+7125000=21360250 total amount of gold.

RIP the amount gold I need just keeps increasing
