SIGNAL here with another Word Domination video
and this time I’m going to answer the question
- How many gems does it take to buy all of
the booster cards?
Watch to the end to find out.
I created a new Word Domination profile in order to
search for glitches.
But this account still needs all of the booster
cards, so I used the FACEOFF glitch from my
previous video to rack up enough gems to buy
them all.
Let’s see if RNGesus was my friend.
For my first 10 tries, I got 9 new boosters
and only 1 duplicate which I converted to
card gems for later use.
My next 10 tries gave me 6 new boosters with
4 duplicates.
Then my third set of 10 tries, gave me 4 new
plus 6 dupes.
As you might expect, the odds of getting a
new booster are reduced when it gets down
to the last few to complete your collection.
I tried to avoid converting duplicates to
card gems because I wanted to see the fewest
number of gems I could spend.
The problem is, if you run out of gems before
you flip all the cards to get the card you
want, then it’s a losing battle.
If you’re trying to complete your collection
of boosters, here’s a few tips to keep in
mind.
#1. Know exactly which cards you’re after.
I take a screenshot or photo with my phone
as a visual reminder.
#2. Pay attention to the 3 daily cards that are
available to buy.
EPIC cards go on sale over the weekends, but
they cost 400 card gems.
#3. If you don’t get the card you want on the
first try, look at the remaining cards and
decide if you have enough gems to warrant
re-rolling for another chance.
#4. The lesson I learned is to always have enough
gems on hand to be able to flip all 9 cards
if needed.
The first time I made a purchase this way,
I spent 274 gems after flipping 8 cards to
get the one I wanted.
The amount of gems required for subsequent
re-rolls on the same random card attempt is
randomized, but there is a pattern.
The first try is always 50 gems, but additional
tries can vary in cost between 23 and as high
as 184 gems for 1 re-roll!
I thought 350 gems to buy 1 booster *should*
be enough.
But after this experiment, I figured out that
the maximum it would cost to flip all 9 cards
for 1 booster is 550 gems!
50, 23, 26, 31, 37, 46, 61, 92, 184
If you don’t have enough gems on hand to
buy everything at once, it will cost you more,
because you’ll have to back out at some
point.
So, I flipped a total of 113 random cards
to add 41 boosters to complete my collection.
That means 74 of those flips were duplicate
cards I already had.
And, because I didn’t have enough gems on
hand a few times, I ended with 530 card gems,
of which I only used 20 to buy a booster card
that was on sale that day.
Total number of gems spent...drum roll please….
5,446!
To be honest, it’s a lot more fun AND rewarding
to play the game, complete the daily challenges
and earn enough gems to buy random cards only
when needed.
What booster card are you still waiting to
get?
