Spending gems. In-game markets and stores.

This will be useful for everyone.
valid for Dino War version 1.3

Even if you not paying real money in game you can still earn some gems. You can get gems during special events, selling things on players market, hunting monsters. This tips will help you to spent gems effectively. The most NOT effective way to spend gems offers you every time you trying to do something with no resources for it. For example trying to teleport to location will ask you to spent 2k gems. That’s default price. Don’t pay it! Read the following text and you will know how to get same teleport with 50% discount only for 1k gems, or for no gems at all!

I will sort out some ways on spending gems in efficiency descending order, as I think it is. I also will try to clear the fuss about the markets we have in game, there is at least 4 of them, so be patient.

• Donate to alliance technologies. This will not only empower your alliance, but will give you alliance market currency. You can spent that on alliance store(Alliance->Store). High ranked players of your alliance (R4,R5) can choose what items will be presented there, but every member can check out the whole stock line in the right tab, and ask R4 to add item for you. Most of the items available there are highly important and useful. You can donate with 3 tabs using simple resources or gems, kind of lottery here. Spending 10 gems in right tab donations is really most effective way of spending gems because it gives you a lot of alliance market points, and after all calculations it’s really effective, relatively to other markets and stores. Middle tab 10 gems effective too, because as I noticed, pressing middle or right tab often leads to re-open middle and right tabs with gems or not gems donations available.

• Private Store(main screen->Store button). Some special deals are really effective here withup to 80% discounts. That’s the place where once a mount you can buy two advanced teleports with  50% discount which will be 1k gems instead of standard price 2k.
• Players store. That’s the one we have in the building “Trading Post”. You can put things on sell and you can buy things that have been put on sell by the players in your zone. Putting and taking things takes time, because caravan are sent to the closest market hub location. The price for the buyer is constant. The price for the seller depends on your “Trading Post” level slightly: the tax charge goes down with leveling up. Things can be bought with about 50-30% discount here. But stock line is pretty “nothing special”. Actual buyers are rich players with lots of gems and less online time. If you can login to game every few hours you will have plenty of this item types, and can sell them. But if you have gems and need more of this item types then don’t buy them by default way, buy them here. A tip on beast Plug-in Parts and components being put on sell here. It’s really hard to get high level Plug-in Parts, but we can smelt low levels to make high levels. The prices for top levels are much lower than for the same amount of low level components. So if you want to spent gems on them – try to catch the most high level components to buy. If you wish to sell something quick – sell the ones of higher level. The price for Plugin part level 5:

• Arms dealer. Deals in gems has 40% or 10% discount from default price. Don’t be very impressed, you might find better discounts in weekly or monthly Private store sections. Not gems deals could be very useful to get extra gold, or exchange simple resources to balance them. You have to make 4 any Arms deals a day to complete daily reward.
• There is some items for which I don’t know any discounts, but they are really good way for spending your gems. Press on your Headquarters, then “Base buffs”, in the “Combat” section there is a list of combat buffs. In last line there is March capacity boost. I don’t know any other way to obtain it then buy here for 200 gems. With it you can do much bigger marches and therefore be much stronger in any battle against other players, monsters, tough Intel bunkers etc. Other items which buff your combat abilities can be bought in other ways, like alliance market. Items which lowers down enemy combat stats can be bought only here too, but they not so effective as March boost.
