LOL !! I broke down and bought enough to get the rest of the way to a superchest (meh, $20 I won't miss too much). Ag, some Au, and the superchest - TEMPEST

Very lucky me! I spent $10 with my progress bar for the super chest about 1/3. First spin I hit 2500 condoms an kept winning more. Then got Lancelot and fury back to back, 1000 gold, and win a rogatka on the superchest!

Won a Haechi and Scourge off Silver chests. Seriously? Can you post a screenshot of your rewards log?

So against my better judgement, I spent another ~$50. That one cost me a few of my favorite items crossed off my grocery list, so I'm done blowing cash.
Didn't do too bad for the price, though. The take this time:
1 Doc 1 Rog 1 Gareth 1 Fujin 1 Tempest About 1300 Au About 1 million Ag
The Doc is my first, so kind of stoked about that. The Gareth was the second one I got today. Bought a Rog through one of the special offers just last night so feel a bit of a knucklehead for that. And picked up a Fujin a couple weeks ago with WSP, which makes this one a little redundant, but it'll come in handy, I'm sure.
Been wanting a second Tempest since the July event. Very pleased when one popped up tonight. Gonna stick 'em both on a Natasha with a couple Molots and see what happens.
Course, now I'm gonna be leveling crap from here to Groundhog Day.
Meanwhile, a reminder to all: The cash disappears fast when you're just tapping a screen.
I suggest you find a way to remind yourself it's real money you're spending. I made a point to go into my checking account and subtract from it every time I bought a pack of keys. Helped keep me from getting even stupider than I did.
Luck.

My system for making sure I stick to my aim of not encouraging pix's strategy with rm: I only permit myself to spin (i.e. gamble, which I very seldom do in rl) when I am about to finish an upgrade, since what I win is irrelevant until then. It will also make it easier to stick to my strategy of not bothering with bronze chests.

I bought Twice. I got a heavy dash (worth it), a light dash (unknown value to me) another fury to chill out with all the other furies and the mountain of Zeus from last update, and a tempest... you really don't need more than 3. I'd rather they remove it from the selection. It's not worth it)... not so much gold, and some trash bots . I wasn't too disappointed, as I got a great dash. And some things I may possibly use in the distant future. All in all a wash.
I bought a second time, this time I got lots of keys. But I got the infinite spin machine working this time.
I got 8 aphids 3 rogs and couple geppard. 5k gold and two more light dash (ugh!)
Now I was ticked off. Till I realized those dang rogs sell for 1m a piece, aphids go for 300k and geppard s vendor trash for 500k.
Now. All the sudden this was a solid deal. I needed silver anyway. So I didn't get all that I wanted. I guess some light dash bots may be ok. But I did get 5k gold and 6m in silver. So I didn't get ripped off. I just more or less broke even , and got a dash with a second dash free

Let us know if you run out of food, we'll send you a care package of spaghettios. ? On a more serious note, that's very sound advice about subtracting from your checking account immediately after buying keys. The gambling factor makes it all the more dangerous when it comes to spending real money (just one more roll!) I'm fortunate that my iTunes is directly linked to my bank account, more specifically my casual spending account (my fun money lol) which has limited funds at the best of times, so when the bank account runs dry, iTunes cuts me off, haha ?

Won a Haechi and Scourge off Silver chests. Seriously? Can you post a screenshot of your rewards log? I read about someone striking a dash bot in another Black Market post by rolling 20 silver chests at once and getting a dash bot so I thought I'd give it a shot. All 20 rolls were terrible but I had about 4 silver chest rolls left. Managed to score the Haechi and Scourge one after the other on my remaining rolls.

Bought some more, ground some more, rolled almost exclusively silver chests after two gold duds. Got my way up to a Super Chest, won a Tempest. Add that to a Gepard, Magnum, and Gekko, and ~1500Au.
Done spending now, now it's time to bank Au for like six months from now when you can buy dash for the incredibly inflated IP. I just wanted a Dash MkII and a pair of Scourges.
It'd be nice if with the Superchest we got to pick our reward, haha.

Funny, why would one troll about color of the chest or its prize.. but ok, thats more of rhetoric questions, i guess ppl troll about everything.

So I had a few beers this evening. And despite my better judgement I succumbed to the temptation. In future as I go to get the bottle opener I am giving the iPad to the wife for safe keeping. But anyway, to the point, â¬109.99 for the big chest (「whiskey tango foxtrot」 was I thinking). Did not keep track of how many spins me and the 4 year old got, but we won about 8k in tokens, so probably about 20 odd gold chests and a few supers. The loot: About 7k Au A Zeus An ancillary Two Orkans Three gekkos A Garry A Jessie And a Big fat blue Bulgarasi To be honest in real terms, based on what I already have, the benefit from the spend / gamble is the gold, one of the Orkans and the Dash. The Dash came out of a gold chest. If I wasn't lucky enough to get the Dash I would be mighty pissed at myself ( a little pissed at myself regardless). Still, I have one to play with now, better go read up on what it's supposed to do and how to pronounce its name properly.

that's why its a silver chest :-)
PS: I just keep getting keys, silver (miniscule amounts in reality), gold and more keys from the silver chest. Rolled 17 times so far as a result of two big key rewards. the best item came from one spin of a bronze chest where I won a Jesse (but I am not sure if it will get much action).
I don't think I will put RM down. this is like a bait to awaken many peoples gambling addiction when they have a weak moment. I wonder how many human behaviourists it took to come up with this strategy.

Well, I'm a 「smart person」. It's my bday next week so I figured I'd buy some more keys as a pre-bday present to me. I bought 1,150 keys and rolled all silver chests, here's what I got: 5 x 30 keys 1 x 100,000 Ag 2 x 150,000 Ag 1 x 250,000 Ag 1 x 300,000 Ag 1 x 40 Au 1 x 50 Au 1 x 70 Au Quit while you're ahead they say. ?? Although I'll probably buy one more time later this week so I can at least fill the superchest bar, cuz ya know, I'm a sucker for punishment.

I was playing more at first with the motivation of getting keys, but reality is that in the vast majority of cases the chests lead nowhere. Which is understandable in a way since it is basically an additional income offered by Pix.

Does anyone have an estimate of how many silver chests it takes to reach the superchest?

Does anyone have an estimate of how many silver chests it takes to reach the superchest? I'm guessing 60'ish? I've opened 41 silver and 1 gold, and I'm about three quarters of the way there... assuming that a gold equals ten silver.

Well thankfully I didn't blow a lot of money this event. 20 bucks netted me less than 1k gold in total. Nothing else of note. Spun 1 gold chest for 850 gold the rest silver chests. Just kept winning less condoms than the spins were worth. But the birthday event I cleaned up on so it is Ok that I didn't get lucky this time.

There is no way I play (well) enough to open 65 silver chests... 65 bronze maybe
it seems the only way to be 'lucky' is to throw £$€ at it ... which is what pix wants ... you are not winning you are buying something random ....
hey ho ...back to the grind
