Gems for mobile Conversation

[Schnatze]

Hey my fellow players,
yesterday i maxed the first girl cassie and i have the option to buy the phone conversation with her for 10 gems.

Is this worth the 10 gems, what benefits do i get out of the conversation, or is it just story?
I would invest the gems into more timeslots rather than a story conversation if it is just that.

Thanks for your help in advance :-)
Bye and have fun

It's bonus flavor text. It's fantastic to have more with the ladies, but I'd save it for after you've completed the main 12. I wouldn't put the diamonds into Time Blocks either, you'll be drowning in extra time soon enough. Boost multiplier is the one that'll help most

[Schnatze]

Oh thank you.. I didnt realize it is a permanent multiplier.. I will got for that :-)
Cheers

Like the commenter above mentioned, I would save the gems for speed boost multipliers and save the phone flings for the end. Time blocks are plentiful as the game progresses so it would be a waste to spend diamonds on them.

Just another note of agreement: Time slots bad, speed boost good. Time slots from getting achievements add up fast. There are a lot of potential achievements (700 or so?), since each girl has 9 and each job has 10. Be sure you get the free achievement for watching the credits.

It's painful, but worth it in the long run, to save up for 64x boosts before buying much of anything else. The exceptions are spending enough to complete parallel events (they can be done without diamonds but are challenging) and possibly buying the monster girl bundles on a 50% sale (which is an option like once a year).

Plus the time blocks you get once every week or two from login rewards. Once you're in the endgame, the number of time blocks you need goes down massively - most jobs require fewer at max levels, and hobbies shut down entirely once you reach their max level of 75. I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 130 unused time blocks that I literally can't allocate to anything other than dailies, and that's without ever having bought any.

Rough estimate please: How many years of gametime would it circa take to unlock all multipliers, characters and bonus stuff without spending money, if someone starts today?

For multipliers, my experience was somewhere in the neighborhood of 1-1.5 years, but that was through what I can now look back and admit was highly inefficient gameplay - never used a single time skip, and didn't buy any of the diamond speed boost until I was already at max x2048 reset boost. Most of the gems I earned from leveling girls and daily logins were either hoarded or spent on gilding. If you played efficiently, you could probably take that down to as little as six months.

Characters are another story entirely, however, as many of them are tied to limited-time events that, at this point, come back less than once a year due to how much of a backlog there is of them. If you happen to time your return well with the re-release of some of the earlier LTE girls like I did, though, it can give you a bit of a boost to your progression in the "core" game as well, as the whole "each girl you have at Lover level multiplies the amount of hearts you get for interacting with everyone else" rule includes all the extra characters as well.

The game does reward you pretty heavily in the mid- to late-game for spending a few bucks when you're able, though; two of the best money-making jobs in the game are tied to ownership of the cash-only girls Charlotte and Suzu, respectively (though the new best job is tied to an event girl that will probably continue reappearing around Christmastime). There's not really any pressing need to spend money on gems, though, unless you're impatient and really want to pick up an LTE or Phone Fling character without waiting for their event to return. You'll get a decent trickle of gems over time for free, as I mentioned earlier, by logging in for your dailies and progressing through the levels for each girl for the first time.

Tiny thing to pick out of there:
Are you sure, phone characters have reruns? I thought I had read somewhere, that only other time-limited characters come back after the initial intro, while phone chars become gem-only.

phone fling girls have only one run and then gem only
So make sure to get those daily diamonds

That's a shame. I just started playing the Steam version late last year, so I only have Peanut, Nova, and Lotus. I do wish the Phone Flings were priced closer to the bundles. If they were more in the $2-5 range, I probably would have picked up most of them by now.
