[Discussion] Starting a new account just to build Dark Worlds?

Discussion

Dark Worlds is the one of most expensive decks available, even for a 62P + Box Sales player such as myself. It has interesting mechanics that make me want to build it — but I don’t want to dig into my current account’s scarce Gem supply to do so. Hence, I am wondering a Dark World World account is a good idea to use to play the deck, dedicated to putting all of its gems into Dark Worlders. Or is it a bad idea for one to do so.

It's a good idea.. if you have the time to farm on both of your accounts at least event exclusive stuff on your main acc while maxing your characters for gems on your DW acc.

Moreover, if I was you I would wait to see reports from whales to know if the deck is really good in this meta or not.

If you do, tell us how it goes it's always interesting to know.

I don't think investing that much on a single deck is worth for f2p players. Dark worlds may be strong now but we dont know for how long they will be viable and that box dont have any universal staples. If konami decides to nerf dark worlds or if they become powercrept by something you will be stuck with a lot of worthless cards. F2P players should invest in universal staple cards that will be around for a long time and can be used in multiple decks like floodgate traphole, Mirror wall and etc. Never invest everything you have in a single thing. That's a rule not only for DL but for life as a whole.

Reroll until you get 2 copies of Snoww within your first 2150 (43 packs) gems. If you don't have the patience for this then I'd say it's not worth it

thats definitely a bad idea, starting over means missing out on event exclusive cards, characters, etc that your main account has already accumulated

Dark worlds are expensive regardless if you start your account over. you’re still gonna hit that wall where you need to grind more gems out to get the cards you need

your best case as f2p is to just continue moving forward and attempt to make a dark world deck like i am. Im f2p and have been playing since the release i got 9999+ gems saved up right now to make the deck but its still not guaranteed ill get the everything ill need to make it

“starting over means missing out on event exclusive cards, characters, etc that your main account has already accumulated“ Wouldn’t matter to me if I’m exclusively playing Dark Worlds on that account.

“Dark worlds are expensive regardless if you start your account over. you’re still gonna hit that wall where you need to grind more gems out to get the cards you need”

It’s significantly easier to grind gems on a new account rather than an old one. You start at the bottom of the wall climbing up for Dark Worlds. Your main account is already 25% of the way there, but your new account brought specific climbing gear for the wall and starts traveling at a significantly higher rate.

Seems like you already made the decision

Ehh... Just want to play an expensive deck for the sake of playing an expensive deck on a F2P account. What I’m not sure is how long would it take to get all the cards, similar to the decision to start a new character in Path of Exile.

oh i see your just gonna switch between 2 accounts, if thats the case power to you. what would your deck lineup be once you get the cards though? im thinking 3x Snoww 3x Ceruli 3x Rain Beaux 3x Broww 3x Dealings 3x Lightning 1x Dragged Down 1x Dark Smog

Pretty much it unless they release much more support.

I wouldn't abandon your current account for it. If you have the time and interest to operate 2 accounts, then I don't see any harm in doing so.
