As you can probably see by the title, I am planning to save up 400.000 gems, or close to it anyway. Why would I want to do that?! Well, I have already saved up for a Bone Fiend and Golden Idol in the past, but I want more familiars! Since I couldn't decide on which one to go for next, I thought it was a good idea to go for [s]3[/s] 2 at once, yay! The prices are pretty hard to nail down, so the 400.000 gems is a very rough estimate. It may seem a bit high, but I have no idea what the prices will be like once I have finished saving up. I will be looking for sellers before that, but the plan is to keep this quest going until I have enough to buy all 3 of them at once. I have settled on these prices for now on when to start looking: Light Sprite ~ 42.000 gems [s]Skycat ~ 150.000 gems[/s] I got very lucky and won a Skycat from a raffle Cog Frog ~ 170.000 gems Total: 362.000 gems [img]https://i.imgur.com/vLvxGur.png[/img] [b]Current funds available[/b] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/icon_treasure.png[/img] 84.134.432 [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/icon_gems.png[/img] 157.829 [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/sb2t5bp2w6va891/watermidsmall.png[/img][/center] As an extra motivator and reward, I plan to do a mass hatch once I have obtained all 3 familiars. I sold my eggs for my last two saving quests, but I really do love hatching eggs so I want to save them this time around. I expect to pass two NotN festivals before being done, so hopefully I will have over 150 eggs to hatch by then.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/cPyRFWy.png[/img] [center][color=orange][size=5][b]The logistics[/b][/size][/color][/center] With such a big saving goal, it's important to be consistent and disciplined. I like to set some goals before starting so I don't go in entirely blind. Without doing this, it is going to take way longer than it has to. I don't want to set an end date on this one, but I will try my best to stick to the following goals & activities. Start date: July 1, 2018 [b][color=orange]Daily[/color][/b] [LIST] [*] Fairgrounds capped [*] Buy 6 babies for fodder (more if they are below 4.000t) [*] Level and exalt adults [*] Melt things at Baldwin (NotN stockpiling) [*] Minimum of 4 hours of coliseum farming [*] List new auctions before bedtime [/LIST] [b][color=orange]Weekly[/color][/b] [LIST] [*] [s]Two hours of Workshop Wednesday[/s] [*] Collect Auction House profit [/LIST] [b][color=orange]Monthly[/color][/b] [LIST] [*] Festival farming [*] Hoard sell the last day of the month [*] Treasure goal: 6.000.000 [*] Gem goal: 4500 [/LIST] [b][color=orange]Yearly[/color][/b] [LIST] [*] Chest opening in December [*] Farm like a maniac for NotN [/LIST] [color=orange][b]Venues for farming[/b][/color] Training Fields Woodland Path Blooming Grove [s]Crystal Pools (until blue turtle obtained)[/s]

Of course subscribing to the thread works as well. [LIST] [*] pulses [*] tetris [*] Belief [*] Ashki [*] Cakeless [*] Crusnik073 [*] gbot13 [*] Pleasant [*] Fawniti [*] SweetToothArt [/LIST]

[img]http://i.imgur.com/fUW8Z54.png[/img] [center][color=blue][size=5][b]The starting point[/b][/size][/color][/center] Initially I planned to take a break until September. I finished my last saving quest the 5th of June. I then took a good look at exactly what I wanted to do before starting a new one. Turned out there wasn't all that much. I finished gening all my gen 1 projects (except for 1 missing Wildclaw scroll). Another thing I wanted to do was level my permanent dragons to 25 which I also completed. After that, I simply did not know. I have never been a big spender to begin with, so why put off the next saving project for two more months when I can start now? Although I got a little burned out by the end of my Golden Idol saving, I am pretty excited to get started on this one. Let's see how long that excitement sticks around. :) Treasure vaulted: 28.136.843 Gems vaulted: 28.267 I sold a 5 digit gen 1 WC a little while ago which is mostly the reason why I already have a pretty solid starting point. I also hoard sold most of my inventory. It's really nice to have it so clean and I can't complain about the treasure gains either! (Baldwin loads so fast now, heck) There is not much more to say here because I haven't been trying very hard yet, it was still my break after all, but hopefully the next update will be a little more interesting. Besides treasure and gems gained, I also plan to add a coliseum section with where I farmed/how long I farmed and some loot spotlight from that month. If there are specific things you would like to read about, feel free to let me know! [b]Pings[/b]: @Buffykiev - @pulses

@Louretta
oh heck this thread is so nicely done and everything, it's inspiring me to actually care about my own for once- i'd love to be added to the pinglist! good luck!! >:3c

@pulses
Thank you! I like making my threads look nice. Lots of recources around to do so. :D I will add you.

Another one already? Oh my goodness, and three at a time!? That's awesome, best of luck! I love how organized you are! ^^

@JovaniSkye
Haha, thanks. <3 I got a little impatient. ^^

[img]http://i.imgur.com/cPyRFWy.png[/img] [center][color=orange][b][size=5]Month 1: July[/size][/b][/color][/center] I am very excited about this first update. It gives me an idea what I can do in a month and especially for my treasure goal. When I wrote my goals, I was a little careful to not make them too high. I am very happy that I managed to easily hit both of them. I might adjust the treasure goal a bit, but I will leave the gem one for now. This saving quest will take a long time and I am sure the profit is going to drop.

I did finish two venues for my egg challenge however. I also got a couple eggs for my future mass hatch which now has 5. :D [color=orange][u]Loot highlights[/u][/color] [img]https://i.imgur.com/LEMwsiZ.png[/img] @pulses
