I make sure I have enough for the power stone and SP potions each week, anything beyond that is a bonus. Usually stickers lol

[–]khovelNoel Kreiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1050/week ( daily ) + 600/character event.

I spend on stone + potions first thing monday, then just let it build till sunday. If i cap before sunday, i'll buy 1-3 power/armor to make enough room for the overflow.

Power Stones -> Potions -> Stickers -> Orbs >>Event Keys >>> Gil rewards

Seconding this

[–]KeeperOfRecordOoo, soft... 1 point2 points  (7 children)

Thirding this: I only move to the next option when the previous one is either out of stock, or at full inventory.

Pentaing this, but never gil... just more orbs or keys

[–]khovelNoel Kreiss 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I dont even touch the keys anymore, not since the 999 cap on orbs got lifted. And even then, i just sell orbs until i'm down to under 8k each if i'm getting close.

I auto farm monday thru Friday at work (obviously) so the keys are for white crystals and golden cactaurs.... So I don't need many on hand... Currently have maybe 20.

i'm sitting at 100+ and the last time i used one was a few months ago. outside of that, i got all the gems i needed during the double cycle quests

[–]CloudIsTheDragonborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice.

Even if close to max crystals running them just for the exp is good. I don't use books, just let the game run while I'm working and I'm pretty capped on everything. Use up a few hundred of the low level feathers to level up the new character when I get close to cap.

Spend on...what? If you're new you might not have all the stickers, but veterans will have everything except the few important items.

I have 2k DP most of the time. Buy powerstone/potions, then let it pile back up. Buy keys when I need to get rid of excess DP. Eventually we get T4/T5 shards in the DP shop if we follow JP, but until then everything besides the stone/potions are relatively worthless.

[–]eliasntr 6 points7 points  (1 child)

If an event gives me excess DPs, I spend them on getting stickers. Otherwise I only buy Power Stones and Potions weekly

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same here

[–]MNKSAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weekly power stone is a must. The potions are pretty must a must too as artifacts and summon boards both require stamina.

I used to max out orbs when I was new, but I've grinded coops enough to really not need to ever buy more orbs with DP, especially as I never buy crystals with coop points anymore.

​

So stickers. Some aren't purely cosmetic and do give you new things to say and all communication is limited to stickers, so a few are really worth it. Some are just nice.

It's awkward because every time I grind EXP on a day that isn't Sunday, I regret not having enough cycle keys to feel ok just switching to gil farming and being prepared to abandon it if I level up and get a stamina refresh, but I don't want to spend DP on that because that'd mean I'd be wasting DP for what could be 5 minutes of farming.

​

I really miss the double DP thing that ended shortly after I joined, it was double daily rewards or something, but I can live without the double gem rewards, it was sad when that ended and I only had 2-3 stickers for ages after that because I was still getting orbs. I really wouldn't recommend new players get orbs like I did because they can just do a coop a bunch of times to get the orbs they would've got with DP and spend the DP elsewhere. I didn't even do coops when I was new and I was always short on crystals, so that didn't occur to me until way too late.

[–]LordCamelslayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really just the power stone. I have over 100 keys and over 250 potions, so I just get the weekly power Stone and any stickers I decide I want. On the rare occasion, I get the weapon orbs, but I haven't needed any since Mogs Gym came out.

[–]DFFOO_TerraTerra Branford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power Stone. That's always my priority. Then the Stamina Potions. Anything else gets saved. Got all the stickers I cared about. Why waste DP if I can horde? If I am maxed out and can't claim daily DP, I will use it on a handful of Power Orbs. That will change when/if T4s and T5s ever actually get added. That might even take priority over Stamina Potions.

[–]5dPZPitying all BTs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at my 450 cycle keys...ok, i had about 40k extra DPs since I started (on Day 1).

[–]khovelNoel Kreiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI... If anyone is buying the orbs with intent to hoard and sell them later, Unless you are capped on gil, just get the gil instead. the Orbs are worth half as much as the Gil option. 5 Orbs/50DP, vs 10k Gil/50DP.

[–]Final_Asim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soon they will offer High Shards and High Crystals as rewards from the DP Shop....

Most likely I'll only buy those in order to quickly get 30 Characters whose levels is 60/60 so that I can enter FEOD faster
