I think it depends on what level you are... Mine only took 585 in gold (level 78) some have taken 1600 gold...

[Allowishus79]

1280 gold, between 35 to 40 cases opened, two stamina refills and a bit more than one hour to get it done with resets+gold opens. I'm level 202. This is my third "30% off on upgrades" and that will give me a whooping 65.7% discount :cool:

[MrL]

I am level 68

[Dennis B]

Almost 1800 for me.

Level 133

it's pure luck, previous time i got it for free, this time i spend 2 vaults to get it with time resets. it has happened to spend 5k gold and not get the prize

I don't understand the whole timer reset strategy that people do. Why not just open them hourly (with gold if you so choose) and then with a few hours left just go crazy with all the timer resets? Even if you opened 8-10 a day, you'd save a ton of gold which could be used on crates or something else. Not a gold user so it really doesn't matter to me, just doesn't make sense.

There are times when you'll be luckier than other times, so I wouldn't recommend waiting until the last hour - but last few makes sense. You probably won't save "a ton", but maybe a couple hundred (which isn't significant to those that are going ape-ish to get the event over with).

[AliKat]

Jakers, the longer into the event it gets the less likely you are to get what you need...

That's my plan! I have a timer on my phone to check every hour >_>;

[mxz]

Jakers, the longer into the event it gets the less likely you are to get what you need...The minute someone does any respectable research on this I'd love to read it. There's not one shred of evidence that this is true, though. From everything I've seen, I actually think the evidence points to it being disproven.

u r absolutely right but...
there are some theories that you get the prize easier in first hours of first day. (i am not fun of them)
Another reason is that there are many players who are sitting in houndred thousands of gold so it makes no difference if they spend 1vault more or 1 vault less, they just want the prize ASAP

[honeybadger]

2 vaults in first 2 hours should put that superstition to bed. Damn Gree.

[murf]

Jakers, the longer into the event it gets the less likely you are to get what you need...

This theory usually includes this too:

It has to do with the more crates/briefcases you have to open, the less chance you have of opening one. Gree wants you to spend gold to open all your crates/briefcases. So later in the event you have more cases... You should try to have only a few cases on hand when you open them....

I love all these random theories....

One theory I've heard that might hold some water is:

The odds of getting an item when you open a briefcase get worse the more items you have (i.e. getting the first item ~50%, getting the 10th item, ~2% after successful open). Now if you use the timer reset and don't exit the Event screen, the odds won't reset until you are attempt to get the 10th item. So, you maintain the ~50% chance of getting items 1 thru 9 instead of diminishing odds if you exit the event screen and allow your device to re-sync with Gree's server's.

Empirically, I have only tested this once. I accumulated about 30 crates before I began opening them. Then I opened them all never exiting the event screen using the timer reset and gold open option. It only took me 300 gold to get from 1 thru 9, and I spent the rest of a vault of gold without getting the 10th item.

So take this anyway you want.

[NTM]

ur to speed guy's....

here a result from my 2 account :

8/10 and 6/10

i got screen with the amount of gold i have when i start..

io opening all hours and all cash options.

u don't need to spend so many gold, i proof it another time

So take this anyway you want.Myself a few select friends tested a version of that around the new year, the TLDR summary of the results was that it didn't work. Odds get recalc'd every time, unfortunately. :(

I'm on 9 and just to get there has been 1 1/2 vaults. And so far for 10 that i haven't got its another 1/2 vault. F'n lame bikes and hammers that don't do squat for me as well.

[Ham]

Well I got the first 5 for free using cash out of my first 8 crates. Then I saw what looks like the shortest 20% sale ever and purchased a swift 650 gold. Burned through that to get to 9 now I'm going to use the remaining 100 or so on opens only. Wish me luck!

20% sale??? it's BS if there was a 20% sale that was brief... I never saw it at all... They need to remember time zones

[Ben Weston]

Blnt on first open with cash, moved to gold and opened 8 on the trot with success, no resets. 6 good opens later and I had my 9th thenburnt through 800 gold on resets/opens for the tenth.

[coachbob]

Using Gold, I had 8 Bonds after 9 case opens. #9 was on open 58. Don't have #10 yet after 144 opens. Anyone want a Carnival Sledgehammer? I got a bunch of 'em.

8/10 & 8/10 No gold at the moment, left 2 day's why spend 2 vaults ? u think there is only a numbre of Bond ? lol..

[buddylee]

20% sale??? it's BS if there was a 20% sale that was brief... I never saw it at all... They need to remember time zones

I think it was for android only. I saw my friend's game (android) and the 20% sale, but when I flipped over to my iOS, the sale wasn't there.

[Butt Futter]

There were some iOS guys in my syndicate that had the sale also. 1 guy had it for 9 minutes. lol

[MrL]

I started this thread - it cost me 2700 gold bars!!!

I am very disgruntled that it cost me this much. There was a bug fix on my iPad this morning and on my first attempt after the update I got my 10th.

Coincidence?

Advice please if you do not think it was a coincidence.......

[cms5423]

Am I missing something? How are you people able to spend 800+ gold bars on an event. How are you getting that much gold?

[TRAZ]

Am I missing something? How are you people able to spend 800+ gold bars on an event. How are you getting that much gold?

You buy it in the game.

[Butt Futter]

It's called real money. You use it to buy gold bars.

[cms5423]

It's called real money. You use it to buy gold bars.

Haha yes I understand that, but I find it shocking that people would spend that much real money on this game (that would amount to hundreds of real dollars!) Even people who play WoW don't spend that much real money

[Butt Futter]

Gold bonus program + 40% off sale + iTunes gift card sale = lots of money being spent.

[NTM]

Haha yes I understand that, but I find it shocking that people would spend that much real money on this game (that would amount to hundreds of real dollars!) Even people who play WoW don't spend that much real money

yup that true.. i come from Roseonline and the game are realy fun... and interactive not like here.. i pay too.. but i'm alwways shocked like u.. if u dont pay u have nothing.. or who say he dont pay lie.. don't search all pay.. :/ but price are realy expensive..

that a game for millionaires.. when u see the amount of point last battle i'm affraid...

Thanks MXZ

[Jazza]

Ive got 9 so far and i haven't used any gold :D

[gulp]

good luck. i am on 7 open cases. using cash only (no gold). wondering if you really spend money to buy the gold or are you getting gold from offers?
wish to get tot 10 but don't think i'll make it without gold.

[gulp]

in the event info it says gold (100% chance to open). i thought it would take 10x15 gold to get to the end. this is wrong i understand.

[Chips]

You are guaranteed an opening, but not necessarily a 10 item. It might be cash, respect, or one of the weapons.

[gulp]

thnx chips

[ponyman]

i used just over 1000 gold bars.

i got #1 with cash,
then 700 bars to get from #2 to #9.
back to cash for 1.5 days with no luck,
then 350 ish gold for #10.

yea baby - 30% off building upgrades, what a item...
saved me 1.5 mil on my 1st upgrade. it will most likely save 10's of mil over the long haul.

[Jakers]

Well, I answered my own question about why people race to get the item so quickly.

[Quintino]

I got one with 270 gold. Started using gold at 6th. No refills

[NTM]

cuz they can't wait, that all.. ^^

After 182 opens, I sill don't have #10, so I'm giving up kinda pissed off.

[Kyle42o]

2 vaults blown trying to get from 9 to 10, I feel sick to my stomach haha!
