What's so special about Priest of the Sands unit?

[MSH]

Have seen a guy on my battle list with more than 600 Priests of the Sands.

Thought he was a hacker as I got my only one through the latest LTQ, Set’s challenge. Then I checked out the in game store and found that Priest of the Sands is sold there for 210 gems. I never buy gem units, so I don’t have a comparative cost/performance table/info for them, but quite a few other players I know have dozens of Priests of the Sands in their inventories, so perhaps the guy I mentioned is legit, after all. Just spent a few thousand real dollars on those priests…

Are Priests of the Sands A/D 226/205, 210 gems indeed the best cost/performance gem items on sale? Do you habitually buy them?

You answered your own question here. YES! best value for money. However, if you are able to complete the boss events for less than 500 gems, id say there the best value for money units although they are not always readily available like the POS units. Personally i haven't gone into the mad rush of purchasing them yet as I purely focusing on massing my gem army from boss events and LTQs.

"YES! best value for money" Thanks, Proprioc3ption - as suspected
Boss events at my levels (172) are quite impossible to win beyond the first 10 - 12 rounds without a massive gems outflow, but LTQs are still doable...

It's funny you mention this unit.

When I had my Gamefly trial TapJoy Gems. I, too, purchased a Priest of the Sands. Why? As stated prior, their stats are best bang for the buck with Gems. Was it the smartest decision I made? Meh, probably not. But, it's my game.

LOL, when you say "One", or even a few, I understand, but when I saw over 600 - that, at least for me, was a bit strange...Well - different strokes for different folks, I guess

[BadNews]

The player with best stats got over 900 POS. I think he will have a full indestructible army soon. lol

[Dexter Morgan]

Wish I had 600. Maybe one day

[Dhusagar]

Why would anyone want 100, never mind 900?
@210 gems each, that is 21,000 gems - or nearly 15 vaults!

[Dexter Morgan]

They Are the best deal as far as gem units go. By far

[Zenobia]

Still, 600 of those cost 126,000 gems. Which is 84 "mountains of gems." Which is 8400 dollars! I've bought gems, and will buy more before the Set's Challenge event is over, but can't imagine spending $1000 on this game no less 8k! Probably well over 10k if you assume someone who spends over 8 grand on one particular type of unit likely spends on other gem things as well.

Well, if I were filthy rich, perhaps I would spend that kind of money on a game. I have no idea what I'd spend my money on if I were a millionaire lol. But this middle class American about to fall off the fiscal cliff in 4 hours can't imagine spending that kind of money.

$80x 20 (30,000gems)=$1600 with 20% sale + bonus claim month (50,000gems)= 80,000gems

$1600x2 months = $3200 = 160,000 gems

Or

$80x50 = $4000 ( 75,000gems)+bonus claim month (125,000gems)= 200,000 gems


Every gem spender uses the 20% sale plus the bonus claim month

Buy in bulk, save a few bucks, get your gems. All you need is good finances. Ding, ding, get your gems. Give up your holiday money, and get your gems.

Sorry, what is bonus claim month?

[King Gabriel388]

Sorry, what is bonus claim month?

Gem bonus Club Membership, you gotta join up. Kristin is the cool babe at Gree that looks after me for now.

Buy a month, bonus received only once a month:
5 Mountains of gems = 2,500 extra gems bonus
10 " = 15,000 extra gems
20 " = 50,000 "
End of month, send in claim form/ email to your rep at Gree.

I'm surprised you did not know about this, Kruppe. Most big spenders are acquainted with the gem program.

[Zenobia]

Wow - the escalation of the bonuses is impressive!
