    Ruby stash comes back every week. (Saturday)

    We are also working on something to bring back past events into the rotation (including Lowlands and New Year)

    Agree with FabDub: Demo Dan is where it's at. A VIP pack or two would help you with some Gold cards, but to begin with, the white/blue card combos are cheap to complete first so you can grind better for those gold cards.

    Make sure to do the Lucky Hit each day and the short special events, and IMHO the Legendary Hit (10 gems for one gold gear) is worth hitting a few times. Otherwise, save up for characters that get rarer gear and use those. (I went through the first 80 levels or so with really lousy gear. A few good pieces can really make things work much better!)

    And as Fandub taught me - focus on Precious. Go ahead and recycle other Salesman/Industry cards to buy Precious Frenzy/Industry cards instead. Don't bother with the pets. Super Grenade cards will make Dan much more powerful.

    And don't spend gems to extend your dig - you can always play again in a few minutes. Don't bother with stages that cost gems. Go ahead and use any keys you have to open chests as you find them - they're pretty random, until you get characters/gear to boost their rarity. Check TapJoy daily for the easy Sears/etc. deals where you get a gem or two just for opening a web page!

    Did I leave anything out? :eek:

    What sort of load out are you using to get so much coin?

    Nice! Any tips on how to get the decent gold gear? Is it just a case of making it at the factory?

    No, it's a case of luck. I've made a few gold gears and none are anywhere near the +140% I've seen here, except a "+160% chests" which I got and thought "+160% useless... I get +160% once, and it's useless. Incredible". :p

    Same here, all my over 100% stuff is chests. I'm sure someone posted a treasure crate item at over 100%. Cba to trawl back through thread though lol.

    Gold cards cost double to craft, but at least you know what you get :)

    OK so the stuff in getting from chests is purple at best. Am I missing a trick somewhere?

    I know - I was in a gear makin' mood! :)

    Nope. Even with my "Boost rarity of Gears drop by 30%" / "13% chances chests contain twice the rewards" and Knight Penny, I have yet to get a gold/legendary gear from a chest. I did see a significant reduction in white/common gear though.

    I was pretty excited to discover that it is May with the new May mine and new artifacts, so I assumed. But I played it with my artifact grabbing set up and hit several treasure chest, but didn't get a single artifact. Is it a glitch or are there no new artifacts in the May mine?

    I checked the App Store and there was an update. It's working perfect for me. Btw devs, performance on a 4S is great since the last updates you've made :)

    Yup, right after I posted I have realized there was an update. The dungeon mine works fine now so I am assuming the May mine will be right now too. Too bad I already used today's turn and lost out on the chance to collect artifacts. Oh well, there are certainly more tragic things in life than missing out on a few artifacts in a game. ;-)

    That's actually not true. It is possible to get Legendary (golden) gear in chests.
