Given what I'm having to do to stand a chance of getting what I want if I log in every day for 6 months straight I still think they're being ludicrously stingey with Stargems. Will see how this goes as they keep adding new ways to get em I suppose.

Please tell me you didn't pay real money for this scratch.Originally Posted by Tari
You can't get that many SG without spending cash at this point.
Supporting the game is good but supporting shit is bad.
It's true that you can't get that many SG without spending cash, but you don't necessarily have to have spent said cash on SG itself. If you've got a ton of chars, its more than possible to have collected that many if you wear new costumes daily/do bingo/login rewards/etc.
Max you can have is 20 characters isn't it? And you're going to need to run Tacos on most of them to fun burning all those clothes...
Right now, the max number of Stargems you can reliably earn for free per day is 2 + 2n where n is the number of characters you have. +1 if you're premium.
As a breakdown:
Guaranteed:
- 1 per day by logging in (you get 5 Stargems every 5 days, making it effectively one per day. +1 if you're premium because you get 2 stamps per day instead of one)
- 1 per day for logging into PSO2es
- 2 per character per day for wearing a costume for something like 20 hours.
Not Guaranteed:
- Getting Magatsu Bonus Keys
- Bingo Cards
- Because Sega felt like giving us a bunch of Stargems
- Event rewards (seems the current event is going to give us a whopping 20SG?)
So far, that's it. In a week you'll be able to get 15 SG per week from 2700 Casino Coins. This adds effectively 2 per day if you can afford it. You get 1 Casino Coin pass per day, which is a minimum of 100 Casino Coins so a mere 700 a week. If you want to keep this up, you're going to have to gamble well.
As mentioned, you do get periodic bingo cards which can be 15 times the number of characters you have but it's not necessarily reliable. For one thing, you might have to run content you're not geared/leveled up for...
If you want to exchange for the item you want, you'll need a total of 40 SG items (assuming it's a costume you're after). For this you'll need a total of 3200 Star Gems. It's a 6 month period, so lets say 4 weeks a month making 24 weeks. You'll need to earn ~134 SG per week in order to reach that before these costumes are gone forever along with the exchange.
134/week works out to around 20 SG per day (rounding up). Let's just assume you can only get the guaranteed ones (2 + 2n). You will need 9 characters or more and naturally keep up running Tacos and XQCOs on probably all of them in order to fund it. And you'll need to log in every day, on every single one of them.For 6 months. If you have less than 9 you'll need to make up that SG/day decifit up some other way.
Please do check my numbers.

You numbers do not seem wrong, but you must realize that it is plenty possible to do all of this without running anything, provided you buy the correct items (stock up on 105ks after every scratch) and have enough money to be able to afford waiting to sell them (can't sell all 20 back every day at a profit). Logging on every character every day and managing the costumes would be the real chore.
If you plan to farm SG from additional character, just wear 100k costume and turn them into recycle badges.
They save a lot of space and sell more than worn cloth.
That works if you have shop access all the time. If you don't, yeah you can just save up the recycle badges you'll generate and sell them all off whenever you get a pass. You'll still need the meseta up-front though, so even if you don't have to run them all the time for all alts you'll still want to run them so you're not bleeding too much while you're not selling items.
Let's also not forget that you're probably going to want to use that meseta for gear and stuff...
e: EX Exp Booster today. That's 8/40

Seems like the exchange is for the default variants only and does not include the battle-damaged Apprentice.
This is assuming the trailer is an accurate representation of what we're going to end up with. Ugh.
Yeah, I saw that. So it is useless for me after all.
