[GL] F2P Gems Summary - May 2019

Hi Everyone

In November 2018 I decided to keep track of all the gems we get every month. This information should be very useful for planning, and I hope it will help some of us.

I am planning on doing this for the foreseeable future too in the hopes of getting a rough idea of our income on both "slow" months as well as "packed festive" months.

[Conservative/Confirmed Event Gem Estimation for June 2019] (https://www.reddit.com/r/DissidiaFFOO/comments/buq2fj/gl_obtainable_f2p_gems_estimation_june_2019/?st=jwdkl1zy&sh=69723763)

Now for the caveats:

• All dates are in UTC

• I will assume, for this analysis, that every obtainable Gem is obtained on the first day it becomes available. Even though probably very few people are crazy enough to clear 92 summon boards within 2 days, it is technically possible. Funny thing is, even if I were to remove summon board rewards, we would have still ended up with 65k gems which is the highest amount in the past 7 months.

• I found it was necessary to break the income down to 2 categories of "For All" and "For Some", which means that those Gems are obtainable for everyone or just some of us respectively depending on when you started playing the game (e.g. "for some" of us who are new and have not completed x2 Cycle Quests before, we get 500 gems for completion per quest, while those of us who have done them before, we get 0 gems). On the flip side long term players can unlock 92 summon board rewards, while players who just started are limited to 75.

I have decided to only put a short version of the summary in this post, but the full breakdown can be viewed in the spreadsheet below. If you spot any mistakes, please let me know!
