Thanks for the feedback. I'm desperate for some epic champs but I've held off buying any shards. I'm F2P but getting worn down and don't hold much hope if they have any decent sales on.

I think I'll go with the mine > market > pit suggestion, thanks!

Take it with a grain of salt because there are probably more knowledgable people on here. 

I use Gems for Energy 40=Refill. 

I never unlocked the mine because its 500 gems and takes 90 days to get those back. For me it wasn't worth it. I plan on playing a long time but I'm F2P. If I was P2P I'd definitely open the mine and max it. 

To fully Max out the Mines, It will cost you 1,500 gems.

You get 15 gems every day when you have it maxed out.

In 100 days, You will have the 1,500 gems (100 times 15).

You will get all the gems you spent back from it!

It pays for itself in the long run.

After 100 days, Any Gems you get become profit.

You can than use those gems as profit to buy Market Slots + Sparring Pit Slots.

The mine pays for itself + helps you buy everything else for free.

All it takes is time.

When I started playing this game, A Wise Raid player level 60 told me to fully unlock the mines.

He told me not to think about it!

He told me to just do it!

He told me the same thing I just told you.

I told him what happens if I quit the game before I reach 100 days?

He told me to buy the mines anyway!

He said it doesn't matter - just do it!

I told him why doesn't it matter? 

He told me: If you quit the game before 100 days, your not going to give a flying flip what you spend them gems on. 

He was a very Wise Raid Player. lol
