One of the most common mistakes inexperienced players make is to spend too much time, emeralds or money to get additional soul stones. Don't do that - be patient. It is fine doing the 3 quests you can do per day that reward soul stones. But otherwise just wait, they will come eventually. Their actual effect on your hero's power isn't very high anyways.

Same as above: be patient. Do not spend Emeralds on Exp. Potions or a ton of Energy. Experience will slowly come. Patience also prevents you from overleveling your otherwise weak team and make the Tower unnecessarily harder!

Do not overdo it here as well by buying a lot of Gold for Emeralds. Be patient again. But choose your skills to focus wisely: pick skills that have an increasing chance to work on enemies when their level increases!

You can force this a little more, as you have a bit of a way to go. Also increasing item levels (the "color" of your hero) unlock higher levels for Glyphs or Ascension.

Now we are talking! Trust me, you cannot have enough Skin Stones. It is probably the most limited resource, and what you need the most over the whole lifetime. Esp. as more and more skins for existing heroes are released. This is something worth to spend Emeralds on and pick in highly in Event Shops or Hero Chests.

You get a good amount of Glyphs every day by being active in an also active guild. And also from Emerald Waterfall events that are constantly up. So you do not need to spend a lot here. However, i still feel always a little short on them, so it is totally fine to pick some extra ones from Event Shops and Hero Chests here and there.

Overall not a huge effect on the power of your heroes. You also get Titan Sparks from developing Titans quite steadily. So no need to rush this one!

Ascension can be very important for heroes that have special Ascension skills, that you want to unlock. This alone gives this a high priority. But Ascension resources are also VERY scarce - grab anything you get you hands on! Btw, i prefer buying Ascension mats in the Secret Wealth shop over spinning the Astral Seer: Secret Wealth sells chests thats lets me choose exactly what i want!

Artifacts boost your heroes more than anything else, esp. as they boost very specific and valuable stats. While Artifact materials up to Gold have a relatively good availability - esp. from Expeditions - the Red artifacts are much harder to obtain, mostly because there are so few shops and other opportunites to get them. It is a very good idea to pick the latter highly in Event Shops or Hero Chests!

Regarding other artifacts: I think that the Artifact Chest is very bad value for money/emeralds and i prefer picking up "Flawless Artifact Chests" from Event Shops and Hero Chests instead. 

Chaos Cores and Artifact Coins come in good numbers with Valkyries' Favor. If you do not have "VF", then you have to either focus a bit more on the Artifact Chest or pick them up in shops and chest unfortunately.

If you wanna spend money, then it should be here. What they offer:

• A valuable totem fragment that pretty much requires spending
• A shop that offers a lot of different resources
• Overall very good value for money (in terms of "Emerald Value" per money spent)
• Limited resources for the new hero or titan: soul stones, artifact fragments, exclusive skin stones etc. Resources that will be uavailable for a while after!

Note that you will have to spend a bit more than just the Battle Pass to finish all chapters of an adventure. In that case it is VERY recommended to spend on the Daily Charges!

Overall both good value for money and an important totem fragment. You cannot pick rewards, but have to take what is on the "lane" though.

I do not like AoC, because i find it boring and easy to exploit. Anyways, the ticket is relatively good value for money, comparable to a Season ticket ... IF your guild is fairly active and at least make it to castle level 40 or higher. The chests drop random items but hero skin stones in very high numbers. The Battle Pass also offers some Emeralds, Explorer Moves and a Legendary Gift of Dominion.

Overall good value for money. Unfortunately you cannot choose your rewards. And there is no totem ...

Still good value for money. For new players i personally do not like the amount of Golden Thread you get without providing necessary Patterns. This devaluates the ticket a lot if you do not get Patterns elsewhere. On the other hand it is a good supply for Golden Thread if you are in need.

This is for completing the event by winning the game seven times and getting two Totem Spheres among a lot of other stuff. It is a lot of money, requiring probably 5 big bundles for 235 EUR, but also a lot of value: two Totem Spheres, orange and red Gifts of Dominions, a lot of Emeralds from the bundles and a lot of random resources from the game itself. If you want to spend A LOT of money at once, then this is the place. If you are conservative with money than play this event without any spending - it is fine.

Mysterious islands can have good rewards and resources that are otherwise hard and limited to obtain (catalyst and patterns mostly). But i think that the Season tickets and Battle Passes above give you enough moves already to pick the good stuff form the islands. The subscriptions overall value are not comparable to the tickets above when it comes to the other stuff.

If you need plain emeralds in higher amounts, let's say to level up your totem, then you probably have no choice. But generally the value for money is not that great. On a longterm perspective it is probably more efficient to horde emeralds slowly and reserve them on important resources, such as totem levels.

They are usually not worth it with very low value for money.

Enough said.
