What to use Lucky Coins on

@rpbthree Your pretty much set! What I would do is spend the lucky coins when your level 41 and have Rainbow Riot on your GPM and make 3 coin rolls on it. This way if you get set items they will be the newer more powerful ones.

Agree with Killerkea. Next update is in the workings and it may bring extra caves and probably 4 new xp levels. You’ll want to save your coins for getting epic sets updated when you reach the new max level.

Otherwise, the golden cauldron can be handy for crafting the stamina potions, health and rage stuff. (diamond is a waste of coins) This prevents you from wasting too much friendship essence.

The events can be very rewarding in the sense of xp, mastery and winnings. It’s nice to be able to throw some stamina potions at an event league. Just make sure you keep a good supply of essence, because the ending event prize wheel takes 10 for each re-roll.

Don’t worry about the anvil. You’ll be relying mostly on epic set items which are much more powerful than the crafted stuff anyway.

Spending LC on mastery is a waste since you will eventually get the mastery anyway by spending snoutlings in the dojo and playing. I guess it all depends on what you have. A lot of people used the GPM exploit to get 50 to as much as 90 set items so those people don’t need set items as much as me since I didn’t exploit that bug. Set items can be used by 5 classes so it improves up to 5 birds.

I’ll use a level 9 Tricksters as an example. Equipping Tricksters with my best pig item he does 848 damage, with a level 41 set item he does 1013 and he does 1094 if he has the ballista or robot set. Having a complete set also provides a lot of other benefits. For offhand items my best pig item would give him 1744, a level 41 set item that isn’t plushies would give him 2047, a level 41 plushies would give him 2517 and a plushies set (Save Me!) adds about 50% to your max health so that would effectively be 3775. You can see that max level set items are far superior than a 10% boost you might get if you level up. If I gave all my birds 1000 mastery right now, none of them would level up. Playing the events is one of the best ways to get tons of mastery.

Even if you already have all your birds equipped with set items, if they are old set items (8 or more levels below the max) you will gain a lot more benefit by upgrading a set item than by upgrading mastery.

Let’s use a lower figure than what you are getting and say there is only a 10% chance to get a set item during rainbow riot. That works out to 1 set item for every 30 LC, but it is really closer to 1.2 set items for every 30 LC since 10 spins increases your rainbow 20%. Therefore 75 LC can be either 1000 mastery for all birds that you have that are below level 10 or approximately 3 set items on average. For me, just getting one set item improvement is better than the 1000 mastery for all birds since I only have 8 of the 15 sets and most of what I do have is old so I won’t use many of those sets. Also I’m patient and will eventually get all my birds to level 10 without spending any LC. Some set items may be duplicates, but an improvement as little as 4% for one item is about the equivalent of a one level of mastery improvement. Upgrading from a pig item to a set item is anywhere from a 17-44% improvement. The improvement is even greater if that set item completes a set because of the set bonuses.

@killerkea @kerravon — Thanks for your advice. I suppose the difference in perspective is due to being in a different situation. I have complete sets for each bird, some sets all level 41, and 3 complete sets for some birds. I am beginning to get my favorite birds to level 10, but still have a ways to go. Level 9 to 10 is a real bear without any events. The closer I get to having all my favorite birds at level 10, the more desirable spending LC on set items rather than mastery will become. I suppose I could assume we will get 6000 mastery for all when Rovio compensates us for Christmas event debacle, but we haven’t seen that yet.
