Talk:Magic Rock/@comment-2.102.60.78-20121230165934

hmm, I'm at level 51 but I got a bit left behind with Magic Rock and Wonder challenges so for the last five levels I've constantly had rock and wonder challenges ongoing, even so I'm still just building the Colossus and now Wonder Rock is done. I'm trying to save money for scooter stores and land upgrades as well as Wonder challenges and the rock. So over the last week I've starting paying attention to the market forecast to use it to my benefit, awesome page by the way, how do you get that data?, do tiny co give it to you or do you have to edit the game and look through some programming notes?.

Anyhoo, I've now got Ancient Storage and I'm building Pirate Warehouse, sucks that I had no crystals for the storage sale. So that'll give me 180,000 storage, at the moment whenever there's a bad day for stone pricing coming up I stock up all my storage capacity and use that for my recipes the next day, falls flat when stone pricing goes high for a number of days running but it's better than nothing.

So now I'm applying the strategy to rock upgrades, I need 240,000 resources of stone, woven fur etc to fully upgrade magic rock, at it's worse pricing for woven fur and secondary resources can get to be 10,000 cash for a 1000 units, imagine if I was so unlucky to buy on expensive days for each of the next rock upgrades. It would be 240,000 x 10,000 just for one resource, add to that the cost of the other resources and it's a shockingly long number. So I'm just going to check next month which day has the lowest pricing and buy 180,000 worth of that resource, lots of tapping on that 1000x button.

A good thing is that it's really not necessary to prioritise upgrading your rock, not at my level anyway, I think prioritising my land upgrades is far more important as extra area for stores is über valuable.

Though tbh im actually hoping to scale back my village and run it with a limited number of stores as I don't want to hit level 70 early as I've only fused 15 of the 49 dinos, when I get to lv68 I just want one Magma workshop in production. Hopefully they'll add levels 70-100 in one fell swoop so I can ramp up production again.
