[GL] Obtainable F2P Gems Estimation - May 2019
Hey everyone,
Some of you may know of my series of retrospective Gem counts for the past months. As a reference, here is the post I made for the March Summary (April to be posted once the month ended):
[F2P Gems Summary - March 2019] (https://www.reddit.com/r/DissidiaFFOO/comments/b7nakw/gl_f2p_gems_summary_march_2019/?st=juwyj4rc&sh=c610bcf7)
Right. Now that the shameless plugging is out of the way let's get down to business. With the calendar of events now published, I've compiled an estimate list of gems we will be getting in May based on my experience in the past months.
Why is this useful? Let's say you want to pull for Quistis, you should see from the list below that if you start saving for her banner on the 25th of April, you will get ~44.850 gems before her banner goes away. Important notes about these numbers below the table, make sure to read!

IMPORTANT: This list is just a low key (very conservative) estimate based on past values and the event list. It also does not contain login bonuses (400 gems every 8 days), account level gems (100 per every 10 levels), irregular rewards etc. Tickets are stable at 47 for character events 8 for Lost Chapters (for any irregular event your guess is as good as mine).
Couple of extra notes for this prediction:
-
Where you see a question mark it means that it is not confirmed (mostly banners) so just a guess at this point. Should NOT affect the numbers, only the potential banners and planning.
-
Not sure about the Chocobo board, so until I establish a reliable baseline, it is not included in the prediction
-
It is unknown how much each of the heretic events will award, I based my estimation on the usual format of Catalyst and Rising each having 100 x 4 and 250 x1 plus a 250 EX for a total of 1550 per event. This may be different.
Thanks again for reading! Any suggestions are also welcome, but I do not plan to make this as long and as detailed as the retrospective summary.
