User blog:SophieMo/What is the best use of crystals?

What is the best use for crystals? I am at level 37, almost 38. I am a ios user so no free crystal offers. In the past I have bought crystals only for the tree & then saved leftovers and added to from challenges to get bank. Saved up crystals from them and got crystal rose. My plan has been to not spend crystals on anything unless it produces more crystals, except for a dino habitat. I have just gotten a $50.00 itunes gift so thinking I may spend some on my game. I do not have a crystal storehouse so I may get that.

I only have 6 dino habitats and only one is a 3 dino one so thinking about a 4 dino crystal habitat. Which is best? Why? With the fusion I have really been enjoying the dinos and making higher tier dinos without spending crystals, but the habitats eat up space.

Should I wait for bingo to come back around then spend some, although my past spending crystals on bingo once or twice has not yielded very good results.

Wait for "packages" with crystals, dinos/habitats, & misc to come out then buy?

Wait for another crystal producer to come out? I did not get the crystal store or star as I learned here that they weren't a good value.

Something else?

I have no problem waiting and don't want to buy and then regret.

 * That is a tough question. The very first thing I would determine is how to purchase the crystals. At this point, you could either play Theodore's treasure, once or twice, depending on what option you have, or you could wait for a sale. The reason I ask this first is that how many crystals you have will help determine what you can afford vs. what you want to get with / what you want to save for crystal producers.

Skipping that, I would say that a crystal storehouse would by far be the preferable choice over a crystal habitat. The amount of space it would save you would be enough to fit 4 habitats in, so even when at max expansion it would still be better. In the meantime, it will help even more. At least that's how I would compare those items.

As for saving for crystal makers or spend now. I still think a crystal storehouse would be a wise investment. It will always save you the space, and it will help tremendously while you max out your expansions. I would personally wait for crystal makers after that, and hold off on the habitat.

Of course, if you do buy the Theodore's treasure and win big, all of this might not matter :) 1 day ago by GeoFruckReply edit
 * Thanks for the responses. My Theodore's treasure option is 19.99 Has anyone had good results with it?

Some good logic there about saving space with crystal Store house & replacing with coin habitats.

I am not jailbroke.

I am leaning towards waiting for a pack to come out with crystals & extras, get a storehouse with the crystals and then wait for more crystal producers to come out. That is if I can keep from accedentially spending them on hurry cost or expansion. Spent about 130 2 weeks ago without even seeing the hurry or confim screens, made me very mad. So I don't want to have a ton of crystals and try to hold them for a long time because they have a tendency to get used 20 here and there when I don't mean to. I have since changed direction of how I collect and grouped things differently, which has helped a lot. 1 day ago by SophieMoedit 1 day ago by A Wikia contributor edit 1 day ago by A Wikia contributorReply edit
 * I couldn't recommend theodores treasures every time I tried it on both pad and phone I won the lowest amount coz my devices are JB didn't have to spend money on it but for those that do seems a waste. As for accidentally spending or disappearing crystals keep taking screen shots of your village often so u have a record tinyco will return them they gave me 1000 that disappeared and over 700 when accidentally hit the hurry on expansion
 * Personally think the packs are better coz you usually get same amount of crystals that you would if just bought them in a sale plus you get rare dinos now so think there a lil better value than just crystals but I'm no expert. As for spending crystals I've only spent them on other crystal producers sbingo(risky but can be worth it) but best thing was crystal storehouse and placid plains habitat it only cost 99 and holds 4 dinos. I'm on iOS to so no how hard it is to get crystals but if your jailbroke look around there are ways to get them
