Spending Rubies?

Which one should I spend them on? Some bonuses seems pointless.

Actually this is a very difficult question. On long term none of the possebilities is worth it.
The ruby powers are quite nice in the first Reincarnation, but they become obsolete very quickly since their bonuses are just additive.
An excavation reset is also pointless since this happens every Reincarnation.
A gem conversion (getting gems without abdicating) also is quite useless since most abdications are pretty short.
So the only thing left are time warps. For new players this is probably the most useful thing to do. But this means waiting until this offline time becomes really useful wich is at R42+ when you want to tier up your spells, and you only want to do a 5 day time warp since so you get the most out of your rubies.
But in the end you still will reach the end of content somewhen at wich you have to wait for new content. (Even when this will need several months) The only difference is that you did it 5 days faster and with 12 less unused rubies.

In short: All ways to spend them are kinda bad, but the time warp is still the best.

You can get you rubies back for 1 ruby.so buy some mana regen and some assistants. Later the Best use is time warp

Ok thanks.:)

Ruby reset costs increases the more Ruby upgrades you've purchased, just like Excavation Reset Costs. Just a warning. And Mana regen is probably one of the worst things to do. Royal Exchange and Gem Power are the best options for early-game.

Ok thanks.:) I dont seem to like them at all though. But Gem power might be a good one.

Weird, I already have bought 15 ruby power upgrades and it still only costs 1 ruby to reset them, and all other ppl also always told me that it always just cost 1 ruby to reset them...

[xaviersxmen]

Maybe it goes up if you do it like doingit onvce will cost 1 but doing it again will cost 2?

[Nico]

Nope, I just tested it. The reset costs will always stay at 1 ruby.

[xaviersxmen]

Sounds good.:)

You can buy 15 Excavations without it going up to 2 Rubies. It takes a lot of Ruby Upgrades. I made it mad at me once during a beta. Kept glitching up on me with how fast I was adding Ruby Upgrades, and hit something like 10 Rubies needed to reset once I finally got it to just add the upgrades. I had thousands of Ruby Upgrades, though. Can't remember what I was doing that for, though. :D It was the first time I used Debug for the betas.

[Nico]

Well, I had only 57 rubies to test it. And I don't think that without buying rubies you can get much more within a year.

[RogueFireWolf]

No, you won't be able to get much more. But yeah, Ruby Reset does increase in cost, it just requires a TON of Ruby upgrades to cause it to go up. More than non-Premiums will likely get in a couple of years.
