Thank you for sharing pond 😁I have watched a few videos about this and your video was the best to understand the entire process of success

Yesssss I been waiting for a video about gear

Hi Pond, thank you for your videos. This old video is great and seems to become standard for gambling for gear. In my calculation, this gambling part is not effective. I suppose that all the product and materials are dissembling into the basic green materials. It has 29.8% chance to lose 45 basic green materials if the product is green shield or amulet, 6.4% to lose 33 basic green materials if it is blue, and 63.8% to gain 39 basic green materials if it is purple. Which, on average, gives only 0.298 basic green material per chance. Though you can repeat the process, it is not dragonite effective. The way to bet should be crafting the weapon or helmet, using 3 long-time green material and one short-time purple material. Is is 68.9% to lose 15 basic green for green helmet or weapon, 14.8% to gain 15 more basic green for blue one, and 16.3% to gain 135 basic green for purple one. This method can give 13.89 basic green material per chance. The latter method can reduce the dragonite and time required, so it is more effective than the former.

Your a legend once again Pond....This will definitely improve my gear quicker.....Thanks

Thanks for the video, despite being 2 years old, still useful.

Interesting - What I've been doing pretty successfully is taking 1 common item that's purple - Phoenix Feather or Mystic Iron for cavalry - and 3 green rare items - Dragon Tendons and craft either the Helmet or Weapon. If you craft 20 times, (20 purple common items and 60 green dragon tendons) the averages give you 3 blue, 3 purple and 14 green equipment. Break that up and you go from 60 green dragon tendons to over 200.

Hi Pond!, I found your videos very helpful; I have a question, how do you unlock the 5th legion?

@LordOfPondtail

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Sandra, there are a 5th and 6th legion you can unlock. The defensive legion is available to all players and is in Master City Defense research which you unlock at C25 when you upgrade your institute to lvl25. It stays in your castle and you access it from the garrison menu in the Fortress. I have a video on this here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoCitMh-orDWf7g.html The 6th legion is only available to players who have unlocked the VIP Shop. At lvl2 you can get the gatherers guild privilege and this allows you to send a gathering party which as no heroes, but you can put gathering gear on it. So it makes it easier to get 9th chest on gathering Mondays.

Uh in my experience you’ll find you have pretty good luck doing this... okay another green. 😂😂😂 Solid video Ponds! Thanks man! 🤘🏻

Hi, going back through some of your old videos lordofpondtail. I have tried your technique with blue and white at my level and works great. I have been producing the normal materials to produce an archers coat. I already have an orange one, do you think it uses less dragonite to produce 3 more orange and combine or to just produce a new gold one. I don't have the gold materials yet, so no idea how much it takes. Does it require dragonite to combine 4 orange to gold in your experience? Thanks. I've been sharing your channel almost daily now in our alliance. Keep up the great work.

@@LordOfPondtail dude, *everyone* shares your videos. Yours are the best in the English speaking world. :D I'm not sure if it's unfortunate or fortunate but I only finally was told about this gambling thing a couple days ago. I don't think I saw you mention doing all 10 L15 Destroyers every day but that is also huge in getting mats. My state has been around for 16 months at this point, and I have done those destroyers semi religiously almost every day. So, I'll take it as fortunate I didn't know sooner cuz I have a healthy pile of mats accumulated. I also have 1.2M gems as I'm a natural born hoarder. I do think this method isn't quite as good as crafting helmets or weapons with 3 green rare mats and a common purple though, and that's what I was told to do. In 5 or 6 dozen crafts I've added several hundred green dragon tendons in less than an hour of actual time doing it. But without the huge stash I already have this would not have been possible of course. I was told that mathematically speaking though, the 3 rare greens and 1 purple give the best bang for the buck. Either method beats the heck out of the years long grind of creating the mats in the blacksmith at any rate. Thanks for your videos.

Thank you

I do the same but I don't use the green I use the white on the dragon tendon , so it's 3 purples and bottom right tendon is a white instead of a green,

I do this method but I use blue instead of green for the rare material. It’s a hair under 70% chance of success, and this way when it fails it’s not such a loss on your basic materials. Just costs a little more dragonite.

Thanx 🤗 I was 'forced' to watch this by Drunky 😂 Shout out to all the wonderful players in #178 and K1R 💖💖🦄💖💖

Why can I not see the purchases I made in the Alliance shop? Is there a process that needs to be done? Please help. I listened to many of your videos, but this not covered...Thank you.

Hi Brenda, yes I use this method for all 4 types of gear: Scavenger, Steel Cav, Wanderer, & Dreadnaught.. You'll need this method for the final four pieces of gear that require the rare material. First 2 of each set only need common materials. :)

So green gives you a better return for your gems. 250 gems per green chest. You need 16 green to make 1 purple material.16 x 250 = 4000 gems. One purple chest is 4500 gems. Only thing is you have the hassle of combining all the green materials, but that only takes a few seconds :)

Would you say it more cost efficient to do it with the 3 green non rare and a white tendon . This way it cost the least dragonite and also you would never lose on rare.

@LordOfPondtail

3 жыл бұрын

Hi James, you do save dragonite doing it that way, you'd never lose a rare mat using any of these methods as the rare is always the same level as the lowest possible outcome. The issue is time, you're going to have to do a lot of gambling at this level to get gold material.

Two questions. 1) Why do you gamble with purple and green rather than purple and blue? Is is simply as you split the losing percentage? and 2) Why do you suggest waiting till you have 200 material chests before you opening them? Otherwise thanks, this video has been incredibly useful and got me to gold pretty swiftly!!

@LordOfPondtail

3 жыл бұрын

A1. I gamble purple and green as the percentage difference from blue isn't that big and you get a much better return on investment for that rare material. The only issue is you're losing a lot on the common materials if you pull a green piece after gambling, but I'm generating plenty of common materials so it's not an issue. A2. People generally find you have a better chance of getting orange materials when you open 200 or more chests.

Lord why didn't you combine all the purple equipment to make gold equipment ?

Gambling with 1 purple material (for cavs it is syone or feather) and 3 green tendons is better. Crafting Spear or Helmet. Success rate is pretty good. Getting 2/10 purple pieces gives you 1 and a half orange tendon.

Glad you pointed this out. The math strongly favors this instead of Pond's recommendation, and it's what I do myself. Pond's recommendation has a rare material ROI of .638*16+.064*4+.298*1 = 10.762. That's a 63.8% chance of improving one item 16 times (purple is 16 greens), a 6.4% chance of improving one item 4 times (blue is 4 greens), and a 29.8% chance of not improving. In comparison. gambling with spears or helmets gives you a 16.3% chance of 3 purples, a 14.8% chance of 3 blues, and a 68.9% chance of 3 greens. That's .163*16*3+.148*4*3+.689*3 = 11.667 ROI - an 8% increase in rare material ROI over Pond's method. If you're gambling enough times for the math to average out, that additional 8% adds up quickly. You do a lot fewer gambles to reach your goal, and they have a greater return in aggregate. Note that this math totally ignores the loss in strength of the non-rare materials. It assumes you totally don't care about materials being downgraded in the process. I've been working on a complete mathematical chart of all ROIs with all combinations, to find the one case that has the highest ROI, but I haven't finished it. I'm not positive that purple/green is the optimal gamble, as compared to orange/blue, purple/white, whatever.

Any reason you don't use a blue tendon? Odds are 75% for purple then. Thanks for the vids man.
