Museum

[Walker]

In such cases. You are right. The museum gets heavy when spent. But that does not mean you should stop trying.

 

[Uhuru]

I will disappoint you.. a powerful Museum does not mean a purchased Museum, most often it is a cheater Museum.

 

[oddin]

We have players with strong museum that never paid anything.
We have players with EXTRA strong museum that paid around 100 euros for supplies and artifacts that you get from events
and we have players with almost PERFECT museum stats that spent more than 200 euros, are very good grinders (blueprints, supplies, oil) and are not cheaters.

Sorry to disappoint you all...

 

[Fufutus]

I think we’re getting somewhere, finally.

Remember, in most forums, and this one is no exception, it is a mortal sin to admit that you got better by paying lots of dollars.

However, the reality of the huge amounts of dollars spent on museum is so obvious (we see it everyday) that the zero dollar position is indefensible.

Indeed, we are now told that with “100 dollars you get an extra strong museum” and with “200 dollars you get an excellent museum”.

Now, take these numbers and multiply them by a factor of ten. Why? Because wrath child (otherwise very knowledgable and helpful) cannot reveal the real numbers because they contradict his/her original position, and, of course, break the #1 forum law (always pretend you’re not spending money).

So, on average, you have to spend:

- 1000 dollars for extra strong
- 2000 dollars for excellent

There are worse ways to spend your money but it’s still hilarious

 

[King Crimson]

Not necessarily. He was only talking about the museum. People are also spending money on crown sales or other sales but so what if they do?
I agree people pretend they don't spend but people will never stop buying their way ahead and it's their choice if they do.
I'm curious why it bothers you so much if people spend money. You almost seem to resent others that have better toys than you. And don't pretend it doesn't!
Maybe if you ventured to new levels you can have what others claim to have without spending.

Fufutus I have nothing to gain from lying. Accept this as the truth or not. I have seen my own progress in museum through multiple accounts and been leader of a top 30 alliance for more than you can imagine. So I have seen what good players can do and know how much everyone spends FOR THE MUSEUM.

https://dominations.fandom.com/wiki/RQ-2_Pioneer
32.99 euros during a past event

https://dominations.fandom.com/wiki/Vz-9_Avrocar
54.99 from the treasure dock offers or 32.99 from a past event

https://dominations.fandom.com/wiki/The_White_Death's_War_Kit
Given for free to all players during a past event

Those 2 defensive artifacts that were on sale the past several weeks, had a total price of less than 100 euros. Couple those with the white shirt (given for free during another event) and there you have 3 defensive artifacts that significantly boost your museum for less than 100 euros. Defensive museums with those 3 artifacts are very strong. Everything else is just grinding in museum and looting. A good player can do those effortlessly.

I also remind you that I am VIP level 2 and have bought the 2 starter packages, the estate, a few supplies and around 5K crowns in my 4+ year career in dominations. So I know what I am talking about and do not question my spendings. Just because you do not know how to play effectively this game, this does not give you any right to confuse other members in here with false assumptions.

I will stop trying to change your mind cause its pointless. Feel free to visit other alliances and see for yourself how other people are playing.

Dear King Crimson,

I am living in poverty. When you live in poverty, games like this are a means to escape. So when I see rich people like wrath child spending thousands of dollars, I get jealous. It’s only natural.

But there is entertainment value as well.

The efforts of rich people to hide their spending are comic. See wrath’s laborious answer below (that hides about 95% of museum costs).

I say, rich people be proud and declare your spending! Do not be afraid!

 

[True God]

If you have a lot of dollars the museum can work really well for you.

(Someone will now say “I’ve never spent a cent and I have upgraded my artefacts blah blah blah“. They’re lying. Don’t mind them. Find dollars.)

No thanks. Not spending money on a damned mobile game. What's the point?

 

[SomeRandomPlayer]

It's true that having a strong museum as a Global Age player would cost money. But, Space Age? Nope, no money required. Why? Use search functionality either here or elsewhere. Or don't, that's fine, but saying otherwise is a simple matter of ignorance.

Fact is, there are people here that either (a) do not understand the game, or (b) are trolls, or (c) both. There's no way around it.

At this point, every old time player should have 3 free war artifacts (and 3 free multiplayer artifacts), and a decent museum (both war and museum). Anyone that does not simply doesn't understand the game. No money required.

Fancy war legendaries are not needed for a good museum; but yes, they sure are tempting because of course they can help. But, grinding fragments into blueprints is the key to the museum; and understanding how exactly to do that goes well beyond anything else.

 

[Fufutus]

Hi somerandom,

Can you please list the following?

a) The three free war artefacts
b) The three free multiplayer artefacts
c) The starting benefits per artefact
d) The end benefits per artefact, after you upgrade them to the max
e) The amount of blueprints to upgrade an artefact to the max, per artefact
f) The total amount of blueprints required to upgrade the artefacts you mentioned, to the max
g) The total amount of fragments required to produce these blueprints
h) The total amount of time required to collect those fragments


Now do the exact same exercise for artefacts that are sold for dollars, and which, as you know, are ten times more useful than the free ones. Calculate all of the above for the good artefacts.

Let’s continue after you’ve finished

 

[King Crimson]

FOMO's a bitch isn't it?
At the risk of getting too philosophical about a mobile game; yes it's natural to be jealous of things others have that you don't. The trick is to be thankful for what YOU have that OTHERS don't.
You might have a sore knee but someone else might be a paraplegic. Get it?
Leave others to their devices and just worry about yourself.

 

[Walker]

The three free war artefacts are
WHITEDEATHS WAR KIT
Demarcation stone
I dont know the name of the third one
For multiplager
Sutun hoo helmet.

 

[oddin]

Me? A rich guy? Rofl....read carefully my answer.....VIP level 2 in 4+ years in this game

 

[Fufutus]

Thank you, King Crimson. You’re absolutely right.

PS: I see that wrath is a VIP. That means Very Important Person, doesn’t it?

 

[SomeRandomPlayer]

Plenty of good players use the free White Death Kit and free Demarcation Stone. The White Death Kit was available once for everyone (a free event track) while the stone has been available in multiple ways (free event track, a chest for rubies giving 5% chance, war chests during special events like the 5th year anniversary, ...). They each only have one great line for offense while they offer defensive lines (White Death Kit offers 2 great defensive lines). The Tizona Sword is available this month via war chests; it's okay (one great line); not sure what the odds are of getting it yet. General Pershing was also available for free but it's a poor war artifact.

So it's not a lot of blueprints/work to do those 2 or 3 lines for offense (although more work for defense). I see good players with solid museums depend on these as their only legendary artifacts. Some have purchased a 3rd war legendary with them, though, to be fair, but many haven't. Anyhow, there's no point in maxing every line if all lines won't be used. Same applies to most expensive legendaries too.

It's impossible to determine the required time, but considering we've had years to accumulate resources.... and Space Age adds fuel to the slow burning museum fire.

Sounds like you've given up completely because you'll never have the war legendaries that paying players have (as no F2P player will). That's fine but many don't give up and do fine. It's a choice. Anyone can do well with hard work and without paying; and while money does buy the better legendaries, they aren't required to do well.

Lastly, patience and planning help too. Save up fragments and only craft during special events (e.g., war artifacts with 5x chance of having 6% lines). Hoard Supplies and only use for great artifacts. And so on.

 

[Fufutus]

Thank you somerandom

The language that you and wrath (the wealthy elit of this forum) talk about free artefacts is revealing.

Free artefacts can help players build a “decent” museum, a “meh” museum, an average, mediocre museum. We knew that already. This is not what this debate is about. Everyone can get an average museum with average free artefacts.

But if you want the proper artefacts, the ones that we see every day in wars, you have to pay a lot of dollars. 1000 to 2000 dollars.

 

[King Crimson]

This is not what this debate is about.

What this post was about originally was someone asking for genuine help. What have you contributed to OP's question?

But if you want the proper artefacts, the ones that we see every day in wars, you have to pay a lot of dollars.

This is common knowledge across ANY mobile game. What exactly is your point? You haven't added anything to mavrick68 original question and every time someone tells you they don't spend you say they must have spent.
Learn to let it go bro.

 

[Fufutus]

I shall do as you say, King Crimson. Farewell.

 

[Zaxillaxifrage]

That you can get really impressive artifacts by spending lots of money is also something we knew already.

 

[Fufutus]

As promised, here are the figures:

One high level artefact: £75
Update five strands: 52500 blueprints = £1705

That’s a total of £1780

For one artefact only.
