I do spend a lot more goods than I would if I used diamonds, but I produce so much I am always looking for a way to dump coins and supplies anyway. In the end then, I get about 85% of the negotiations right out of the box. Thanks to Darielle my diamond count is now growing. In the end I spend about 100 diamonds, almost all on the third tier, and since my fs does silver, I spend less than I make. But never more than 25 on a chest and about 1/2 of the time I don't have to do that if I start with the Magic 4 as I get through without the need.

On the 7 and 8 choice chests, I go for the Magic 3 and expect I'll spend some diamonds. Since these are mostly on the third tier I usually do my best and on the 6 choices have to run through a few first rounds before I get the Magic 4 (though sometimes I'll run with 3 but that's a lot riskier than 4). And if I can't figure it out and/or think the odds of this third round to thin, I just bail and try again.įor the 6, 7 and 8 choices chests I take more time and try to increase the magic 3 to magic 4, 5, and 6. That gets me 80 to 90 percent of the chests without spending diamonds. That leaves the 3 and it's pretty easy to guess where that goes. Almost always one of those has used one of the other two remaining choices, so it must be the other one. If any of my choices has been used on two of the remaining 3 negotiations I know it must be the third one that wants it. If all three are 'wrong choices' I now know which of all my remaining choices (usually 3) will be used. Once I've gone to the third round I find that if there are 3 or fewer choices and 3 or fewer negotiations left 90% of the time I can figure them out. That leaves one remaining good and one remaining slot.pretty easy. Again, looking at my remaining two goods (I assume the remaining three slots take different goods even though that may not be the case), and often one of the remaining goods will have been offered to the one of the two remaining slots. In looking at the three most of the time at least one of my remaining goods has been used on two of them, and that means that good should be offered to the one to which it was never offered. The results are usually that I get at least 2 successful negotiations. After that, I hit enter and see what happens. The goal is to get each slot to have something different AND to use all the remaining goods in at least one slot. then I look for places were what I offered before matches what I'm offering now.and change them. I fill the remaining slots - which should be 3 or 4 (if it's 5 I usually bail out), using the remaining goods from left to right.

Most of the time, even if you have 4 still needing successful negotiation, you can easily figure out or hit by chance 2 of them. Second round I just look carefully at my choices and see what can be eliminated. I'll come back to discuss when you have 6, 7, and 8 goods to offer in a minute. Everything on the outside of the foul line, including the area behind home plate, is considered foul. These foul lines create a boundary on each side of the field between fair territory and foul territory. So the magic number is three of some combination. The baseball diamond is defined by two lines, called foul lines, which meet at home plate and extend outward, perpendicular to each other. The 3 is that the number of 'not needed,' and hits OR, that the choices I have in goods to offer the second round. If the number of goods I have can offer is 5 or less, I do my first round and count to 3. Here's my forumla, and my thanks to Darielle for first suggesting to me that you don't have to spend diamonds to cater the spire. Whereas diamonds of any carat size hold value and find use, diamonds between L and V color grades appear less often in jewelry.Now of course what a 'good try' is, may not be exactly clear. (Conversely, value goes down exponentially as the color grade decreases). (Once these diamonds have enough saturation to show these colors, they are automatically considered fancy).Īs with other diamond grading scales, diamond value goes up exponentially with each increase in grade. Such diamonds have enough color to be considered “fancy,” along with pink, green, and blue diamonds. Yellow or brown diamonds that make it past the Z grade, however, instantly go up in price. Thus, the more color a stone has (yellow or brown), the lower the grade. The most highly valued diamonds have no color. Any stone within that range falls within the “normal color range.” The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) color scale for white or colorless diamonds ranges from grades D to Z.
