Talk:Across the Void Choices/@comment-37434202-20190423071002/@comment-3452092-20190424171318

I have a pretty clear method of handling diamond choices. With most series I don't buy any the first time through a first book or at least not until the first book is nearly finished. Usually by the time a book gets into the teens I know if it is going to be a book worth spending my diamonds on. I have partially created a list of the diamond choices I want most in each series which I put in a blog post on this site. At first it was the top choice, but I've made it so that it goes up to ten although I've only updated some series and even those, I've only partially updated.

I pretty much always buy animals if it's a series I am spending diamonds on. I also buy allies (unless I don't like them . . . Lena . . . still might get her though). Those are my top two priorities. Saving lives, upgrading things, and scenes with that series' friend group are next on the list. . . well, saving lives might be higher. Basically I look for things that extend the story and aid my MC. I'm playing a very long game. Some of these books I have played dozens of times without getting the diamonds I want.

Currently, I am picking two series and spending diamonds exclusively on those two series. Depending on diamond cost To purchase the diamond choices in the weekly chapters, I can purchase between four and six diamond choices a well doing this if I manage to get all the diamonds every day. The series I doing this with at the moment are The Elementalists and Across the Void. As things tend to work out I usually get three from The Elementalists and two from Across the Void. A couple weeks ago I messed this up by purchasing a fourth item in The Elemenatalists series from the from the first book. This week I actually switched that ratio since I only got the two scenes from The Elementalists and I got everything from Across the Void. So far since I starting doing this system about a month and a half ago, it has worked pretty well for me. I think when Across the Void ends I will take a few weeks to use the diamonds used in that to nab what I want from The Haunting of Braidwood Manor and a few more from Most Wanted and ''Hero. It does depend a little on what I think of Nightbound since that is starting in about an hour and I don't know how much I will or won't like it. If I do like it my system is going to get interesting, but I will wait a while before I officially start spending any diamonds on it even if I do like it.
