[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 287092, member: 134"] [B][I]Here's the summary after playing the app for 52 days[/I][/B] Level 39 (+2) Tickets 27,735 (+10,000 approx) Coins 301 (+246) As you can see, I went farming for coins. Didn't matter what level of challenge I played, I always got at least one coin instead of a table part. Sometimes I'd get 2, on a rare occasion I'd get 3 but that was few and far between. I pretty much stopped playing the Premium challenge unless I knew it was an easy table for me, and even then I didn't try and try over and over again, failing 3 times was pretty much my limit. Same went for Pro more or less. I did find that cycling through the Basic challenge over and over meant playing a rotation of like 3 tables, so that also got boring fast. Let's just say I've played a LOT of Black Rose, Party Zone, and Junk Yard for some reason. I really don't know how many of you will be able to exploit farming for coins like I did, as obviously you first have to max out all the tables. It is something to keep in mind though if you find yourself buying all the tables outright next time offered. Here's what you'd have to do... 1. Buy a pack of 300 coins 2. Play for parts of the 3 newest tables. 3. As soon as you have the 100 parts needed for full upgrade, do it. This will speed up collecting on the remaining tables. 4. Playing to the 15 star goal of Basic and Advanced will net you 6 parts in total each. Pro will get you 8 parts, Premium 9. 5. Expect it to take at least 30 days to earn enough parts for that first upgrade IF you are playing all the challenges to 15 stars. 6. Once that first table is upgraded, you'll earn the other table's parts within 10-15 days probably. 7. Once you have upgraded all 3 tables, you need to bank coins for the next go around. 8. I was earning around 25 coins per day, just farming for them. I wanted to beat the next release by having 300 ready to go. 9. You can now choose to relax on farming for coins. Or can you? 10. I plan on continuing to play daily and earning more coins, but not with any sort of purpose.

Obviously none of this is ideal, but for those of us that want to spend as little as possible (or anything at all), this is the reality. [B][U]Next Time[/U][/B] More of the same, still updating the score chart. I slacked off on doing that this last week, mainly because most of the scores I need to grab are in the Premium challenge.
