Are Quoin Upgrades Worth It?

I need help rationalizing the purchase of quoin upgrades at 40,000 iMG. Currently I get 37 iMG per quoin. If I buy an upgrade at 40,000 iMG I will get 38, but I will need to pop about 1000 iMG quoins before it pays for itself (if I've done the math right). So is it really worth buying the quoin upgrades? Thanks for your thoughts on this.

  • Well, Favor Quions, Timer Quions, iMG Quions, that give a higher amount of the reward is completely worth it- my friend found this uncommon iMG Quion that gave her 8K iMG, so really if you think about it it could take 1,000 iMG Quions, or just like, 5.

  • Well, I've found even bigger imagination quoins since I found that 8k one ;) A crazy one in the Wintry Place dropped a little over 13k in my lap the other day.

    But that's sort of irrelevant. The way you have to think about it is: Okay, I got this quoin so now I earn one more x (Where x is currants/mood/energy/imagination) than I did before. And it cost me 40k imagination. If I hadn't gotten it then after 40,000 quoins I would have less than I would if I had bought the upgrade.

    This is because you would still get the 37 every time if you didn't by the upgrade. The upgrade only makes it so you get 1 more for each quoin. Sooooo, you need to grab 40k normal quoins before you break even.

    But that's all mathematical mumbo jumbo. I personally have a multiplier of 139. What the heck else am I gonna spend it on? And now, when I'm lucky, I'll get a favor quoin in the ancestrals that gives me 555 favor with all the giants. So, yes, I'd say it's worth it ;) Just because it's fun to see a quoin that gives you 13k imagination. 

    And of course the ancestral quoins often have a multiplier of 10-20 so you'd only need 2-4k of those to break even ;) And if you play for the next year you'll probably break even eventually. It's a long term fun investment ;)

  • donating to shrines dumps lots of iMG back to you, too...might as well use it, and after a while all thats really left to get are the quoin upgrades, i think..

  • elf has it really :) Unless you want to have an energy tank over 10k, quoin upgrades are the way to go. Or you can save imagination to spend on future endless upgrades, of which I'm sure there will be a few.

    Perhaps mood loss slowing will work on an endless curve of some sort ;)

  • Thanks for the input. Very helpful.  I will plan on buying them when I have enough iMG above 100,000 iMG. Don't ask why 100K----it just feels like a good security blanket number, at least for the time being. lol

  • Quion multiplier upgrades take a very long time to pay off, strictly looking at iMG ROI.

    But I reeeaally like them :)

  • Two other thoughts:
    - The upgrade also makes all other quoins bigger.  I spend less time doing mood and energy maintenance because the quoins basically cover it for me
    - If you run at 90% mood, you get 20% bonus img from quoins... so it's really only 33,333 regular quoins :D

  • I figure it this way, I'm at a 28.4x upgrade now and I get way more from all the quoins, so I need way less of the energy and mood and can focus on the IMG. It may take awhile to have it balance out, but what else am I going to do with all that IMG? Buy brain upgrades? Pfft.

  • I maxed my brain capacity to make the quoin cards show up more easily ;)

  • Yay! Thanks for input. I'm gonna buy the upgrades whenever I have extra iMGQ
