Talk:Crystal Store/@comment-24.24.238.127-20120813230920

I had a breakthrough with this store, but TinyCo has seemed to fix this loophole. Before the fix, for the longest time until these past 2 or 3 days (weekend of 8/11 and 8/12), the hurry cost for the 2 Crystal recipe (1 day, 6 hours) was only 1 crystal.

Essentially, I chalked it up to a cost of 1,200 stone for 1 instant crystal.

I waited until the 8/10 market price for stone came at 169 per 100 so that I'd be spending 2,028 coin for each crystal (or 202,800 coin for 100 crystals). I had about 5 million coin saved up for that day, and I came out with almost 2,500 crystals depleting all coin I had. I used it on Expansions 28-32, costing the following amount of crystals, respectively: 216, 232, 232, 240, and 240. Why spend crystals for 5 instant expansions? Because the 1,160 crystals used for those expansions only cost me 2,352,480 coin, when alone those expansions would cost me a total time of 47 days and a total of 15.2 million coins, saving those amount of days and almost 13 million coins. I also bought 4 habitats, Calming Cloud, Groovy Glacier, Victory Volcano, and Jolly Jungle (wow, I love the alliteration). Lastly, I bought the Giant Warehouse. I had a little over 270 crystals bought left over for future purchases.
