How many crystals do you have?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Right now, I have 1.2 million Crystals.

  • But I have been saving for a couple months now. I did not spend any of them which is why I have this much at the moment.
  • But Crystal amounts can change as we are telling others about them.
  • They can increase or decrease at any given time.

 

  • We should not feel bad if we have less and others have way more. We all increase in Crystal amounts eventually, and also spend and decrease them.
  • Others might have more Crystals than me, but that's totally okay.
  • We all play with our own limits and have our own progression in the game.

Also, if you guys want, you should save your Crystals and other items and open them during Sales. I find this very rewarding because I have saved all my things for a special occasion, and you'll be able to enjoy it more. (I can't wait for the next 50% sales!)

In last 50% sale, i had 800k, but only spent 200k to microupgrade the last 3 gun and 6 hulls, plus last 2 modules and 6 major drone, each by 1 step, ending up 600k left,

Currently since last sale i have 1400k now due to double fund events, by the time of next sale, i may have more than 2000k at current speed, thanks to shard containers and container free premium, wtih calculation of each mu step for rest garage items, max spending of 300k in next 50% sale, and will left over more than 1700k.

at legend end game, crystal become more and more like mines, since you earn them faster than the time you can spend them, as the only left items are hull immu augment and rare AP,stun augment which only can use tankicoin.


tanki should add drone which can use mine per minute to enable gun to leave mine at destroyed enemy tank, or use crystal per minute augment to enable crystal armor defense power, 

so that extra resource can be used instead of sitting in garage

Got 1.902.925 crystals. Waiting for 50% sales or higher. Only Striker and Magnum at Mk7-20 and Gauss is Mk7-3. The other turrets are all Mk7-20. Crusader is Mk1-0, Hopper and Ares are Mk4-0. All other hulls at Mk7-20.

Guess I'll spend my crystals on protections. From all 15 protections, only 5 are Mk7 (just one fully upgraded to level 20). The other 10 protections are all Mk2-0. And that Crisis drone that I got from Ultra Container, I'll start to upgrade it.

Now I got 3.174.014 crystals... So, when is the next 50% sale ?

This thread gives me anxiety and depression ? I probably will not be ever able to reach a 1mil crystals marks just by saving.. My most was 600000 just until yesterday then this rico titan m6 kit showed up for 258000 crystals and then I had to buy two m5 turrets... And now tomorrow sale on MU.. Mann I will be left with only 1-2 k crystals tomorrow ?

Once you reach the Legend rank, getting (and keeping) 1 million crystals is fairly easy.

I've been sitting at over 1 million for the past 2 months now.

Legend what?  "Low-rank" Legends still have a lot of items to upgrade and expand garage.

Unless you only have 1 or 2 combos, there's tons of things to upgrade and spend crystals on.

Protection modules are very costly and are/were a needed item to compete in legend battles.

Same with Drones.  Almost a must have and they cost a mint to upgrade.

 

I see you've been cheaping out on your modules... hindsight is 20/20 now with modules not having as much value due to criticals.  But upgrading all my modules sucked away a huge chunk of my crystal reserve over the years.  IF you ever go to upgrade your modules you will see those million crystals disappear quickly.

My Marshall account will have 9 modules at 42% after the May Day sales. Even with the 30% discount for the 41 and 42%, those upgrades will have cost 720,000 crystals

That account had nearly 3.5 million crystals on the 27th February (my last post in this thread), but now that's down to 2.9 million crystals, even though I've earned 328,000 crystals from Shard containers for that account since they were introduced

2.9 million might seem like a lot, but getting another hull and turret to Mk7-20 (have two hulls and two turrets that are getting there) and getting another upgraded  Drone (I have a "fun" Drone with several upgrades, but not one of the supply boosting ones) will eat a big chunk of that

Shard containers have made me much less careful with crystals. I'm still not convinced that it isn't a reckless update; I have a new account that is already awash with crystals and supplies are only 5 hours of playing

I break my record again (04-10): qw0aHlm.png
(which not including 100,000 crystal spent on mu 2 step at normal price some 2 hull without speedup while waiting for sale)
(also not including saved 100 gold supply from shard containers)
so roughly earned 1.1M in 2 weeks since last sale, which is (03-28) OUUIjwf.png (ranked up twice since that)
----------------------------
it looks like a lot, but that comes from double battle fund, shards containers and missions, battle fund only contribute 1/3 of them (236K + 113K for 2 weeks)
if you look at https://ratings.tankionline.com/en/,
rating page, there are people getting 1M per week just from battle funds. not counting other sources
----------------------------

before last sale (03-27), that is pWyvuw1.png (which not including some cyrstal I used to MU some steps at normal price without speedup without sale while waiting for sale)

20 days before that at (03-07), that is 8GDBaDY.png

===============

side note:
I already have 9 MK-7/20 turrent, only having vulcan to MU 6 more steps to be MK7-20, and some other gun I dont use (rico, shaft, thunder,fire)
also 3 hull at MK-7/20, 7 hull to mu at MK7-15 (5 last step each)
[basically in old days, took me 1 year to fully MU 2 guns and 2 hulls]


1 drone at lvl20, 7 drone at lvl12+ (still 8 step each)


15 full module set at MK-7/20
[took me about 7 years to MU all module max since MU system introduced, imagining old tanki crystal income is very tough]

I think I'll start earning a lot more per week if I ever get to Legend because there's no disadvantage for earning XP and you can really take advantage of double funds and/or premium

I could probably stop being so cautious now because I've got to Marshall with enough crystals to create a 9999 combo if I wanted one,  but I'm finding the supply-spamming (I have over 200,000, never going to run out) a bit boring

Ohh yeah, I forgot to say this, but I only buy micro-upgrades during sales. Which means one or two micro-upgrades per month. And it's also why my Mechanic Drone will probably take a year to max.


And I wait for the 50% sales to buy the rest of the turrets.
I'm actually planning on  buying every Mk7 turret except Gauss in June, during the Birthday celebrations.

 

I also wait for 50% sales to buy Augments. 



As for hulls, I only need three hulls. One light, medium, and heavy hull. My medium hull, Hunter, is my preffered hull for battles. And previously, I used Wasp and Mammoth to have a bit more variety in Pro Battles, but today, I just use them to do the special missions. I don't care about overdrives at all, which is why I don't bother upgrading 7 of the hulls.



And yeah, I only buy three modules. I know it's better to have more than three, but honestly, I'm just too lazy to go to my garage and change them in battles. And since MM battles only last like 7 minutes (actually more like 5 minutes cause of my internet),  I don't wanna waste 20% of the time just to go to the garage and change them anyway.

Yeah, it can be a real pain visiting garage during battles. 7 minutes is just too darn short - and as you say - they NEVER are actually 7 minutes.

That's the way it should be now. Tanki is/used to be a slow process of upgrading, which made it better in my opinion. Now it's a 1000,000 mph kill fest. There are just to many things out there that can take you out, and continue taking you out with great ease. My account shall remain the way it is, there is no way i can possibly earn the funds to compete at legend level.

Not using it in about 4 years has taken it's toll. The game has moved on so much, just far to many items to get, that in real terms will cost a fortune in money to achieve.

Shame it took this path of p2w only to get any decent results in battles. I think i have played about 10 battles and won't be attempting any more.

The fun has certainly been taken out of the game. It's now who has the most the money, as opposed to who can earn the most crystals to obtain better equipement.

The above is from March 1, 2021.

Now I have 3.5 million saved for 50% sales!

I cannot wait to get my Perfect Tank 9999 GS.

(I will have around this much by TO's Birthday because I don't play right now.)

Gathering crystals now is a really easy, yesterday alone I gathered above 100k. Crystals don't have value anymore

If we back 4 years or more back, it's a real competition.   One day I exhausted myself and overworked in a day just to gather 100 crys to buy something.. Now, 100 crys is a joke.

Now, got 4.147.489 crystals. Guess on June, at Tanki Birthday (hope 50% sales), I'll reach 5 millions crystals. Going to spend a lot of crystals...

RN I have approx. 500k of them. Planning to buy Mk7 Orka module on the next sale and get my Spider module upgraded to Mk8.

No need for me to focus on Falcon/Grizzly, as they are useless to me even though Railgun/Thunder are annoying.

Had over 2.5 million, spent it and upgraded Trickster drone as soon as the update for it came out (couldn't wait for the very soon MU sale)
