    It is my experience that ~150 delicate gems give you a 90% chance of having one successful climb back to 7. I use that as thumb rule when determining when it's "safe" to gamble. If 150 delicates can get you back to 7 3 or 4 times, great, but the worst case scenario of 150 delicates = 1 climb back to 7 has been the one I ran into quite a few times.

    I did follow your advice and upgraded stars in their order listed in workshop.
    While the odds listed for 12 to 13 and 13 to 14 are same, I don't believe that to be true. So it makes sense to go for a set rather than have one gear peak high above the rest. On top of that, there is a rumor going around that uneven star levels give a penalty in combat.

    For those who do not coin gems like myself, I suggest patience and filling up your feasting halls. I send out 90 farming hits 3 times a day.

    Selective memory clouds our judgement regarding star levels.

    And gambling always invites superstition, rituals and procedures on how to get it done


    Bottom line is this: If I suggest to players to go into town hall and use praying from the comforting menu before trying the upgrade, someone may do it. And if their upgrades work, they will swear by my "method" and recommend it to others as well. But does it actually impact the upgrade? Of course not, hence my superstition remark earlier.

    Based on my experience:

    90% chance to recover back to 10, have 200 delicates and 100 flawless
    905 chance to limp back to 11, have 300 delicates and 150 flawless

    To crawl back to 12 on Wednesday night when I tried to up my rings to 13, it took me 1100 delicates and 400 flawless. No, I am not saying to avoid doing upgrades on Wednesdays, I am saying that's the number of gems you should have.

    the rumor is true but not accurate.
    I testedit. If you have one set at zero then your heal rate goes down. I know that for a fact. s for other things it may influence, I did not test it.

    Ok, so I am going to tell everyone how much money I have spent on just gems in order to get all of my gear except for the last 2 to star level 13....
    Over $2,000 USD, just on gems.
    Wow, that' lots of money. It sure is. It is about 20,000 game coins just on gems. Gems cost 1 or 2 game coins depending on the gem you buy. Now, what does this tell everyone...
    It should tell Evony that a player who spent over $2,000 USD just on gems and does not even have a full 13 set has spent way too much money. It should also tell Evony that they need to change the star system because if a player wants to hit a full 15 star set I would figure that $2,000 is more than enough if they want to coin to get it.
    It also tells me that players who have MORE stars than me have spent at least as much as I have or have farmed enough to get, oh, 20,000 gems in a period of only a few months... kinda impossible so I don't even wantto hear arguments about how players who farm alot can do it, that is a bunch of BS.

    It also tells me that if the players who have more stars than me did not use their own money then they used someone elses money, or they got like 50,000 game coins by um, "magic" (*cough* exploits).
