Fighting FOMO is HARD…

I almost bought this guy…but didn’t.

Fighting against FOMO is HARD!

The struggle is real…

Why would I want him? What did I realize? Why didn’t I get him? What now?

(NONE OF WHAT I WRITE IN MY ARTICLES IS TO BE TAKEN AS INVESTMENT ADVICE. I am neither an advisor for this nor suggesting any financial action on your part. DYOR)

Why would I want him?

This is a level 1 SSSR warrior, the highest that I have ever had. Just take a look at his stats!

If you add his Attack, HP, & Defense then you’ll get 1035. Compare that to my current warrior…

If you add his Attack, HP, & Defense then you’ll get 1106. (Notice that my current warrior is at level 3.) This is only 71 points higher than Bathory.

The biggest difference & the real reason I wanted him was the Purple Expedition drop rate at 50%. The normal floor price for purple material is $25, which is a lot higher than the blue material at $2.50.

This is 10x my current income!!!

Therefore, he should drop a purple material every other time he goes on an expedition. With a 48-hour expedition time, he would produce about 1–2 times every week. This would mean he should earn at least 1 purple material every week. I would then start selling those purple materials for $25 each.

1/wk = $25. 2/wk = $50.

This would potentially earn me around $100 — $200 every month!

What do the numbers say?

I currently need $254 to make an ROI. If I bought him then I would need $466 ($212+$254) to make ROI. This would almost double the amount I would need to make ROI.

My current average income is around $4/week. This would mean that it’ll probably take me around 64 weeks (1.3 years!)

If my income goes up to $25/ wk (selling 1 Purple material per week) then I should make ROI in around 19 weeks (5 months). This would be 11 months earlier!

If my income goes up to $50/ wk (selling 2 Purple materials per week) then I should make ROI in around 10 weeks (2.5 months). This would be 13 months earlier than the current income!!

Sounds like I should have bought him…

So what happened???

At first, I wanted to buy him & almost did. I was going back & forth in my mind, whether I should or shouldn’t. ($212 is a lot of money!)

To buy him I would need to move some money around from my other wallets, because I didn’t have that much money in my Tiny World wallet at that time.

This is when I stopped…or got stopped…

It just so happens that when I tried to move the money around Binance blockchain was undergoing maintenance & couldn’t determine how much gas fees would be.

I then decided to pause & take another look.

Then what?

Well, It was already late at night & I needed to get some sleep. So I let my brain think about it in my sleep. I’m glad I did…

This is what I came to realize:

1. I had already made ROI way back in April & now I was back at 56% ROI ($254 left to make)
2. Way back then I was making about $1.90/ day. Now I’m making about $0.52/ day. The in-game earnings have gone way down since April & may continue to go down soon.
3. There haven’t been very many Purple (or higher) materials being sold in the market recently. Mostly Blue, Green, & Gray materials are being sold at the moment.
4. It may take even longer to recoup my investments than I have previously anticipated.
5. I should be able to reach 400 castles & start selling 3 materials/equipment at a time. This should also cost a lot less than $212.
6. If I can sell 3 materials & 3 equipment at a time then my earnings should go up 50%, which would then reduce my estimated time to ROI by a lot. It’ll probably be around 11 months…or less…so no go on buying him.
7. I can’t end this list on 6 so here is number 7…I can get way better earnings with my $200 in other projects & not have the money tied up for so long here.

Now What?

Now, my strategy has changed yet again…to get to 400 castles ASAP.

I’ll do this by upgrading my current set of equipment al to level 10. I’m already at 316 castles. This should then get me right over 400 castles. I’ve already got 2 pieces of equipment that are ready to be leveled up. I just need the crystals to do it.

I’ll also start mixing the items I sell & start selling more items quicker.

• Sell 1 Blue material & 1 Green material at the same time
• Sell 1 Blue equipment & 1 Green equipment at the same time

The lower Green items should sell faster than the higher Blue items. They will sell for less but more often. The higher Blue (Yes, I’ve started earning Blue material from time to time.) item will take longer to sell but will earn more in the process. Mixing them should help me earn the most efficient way, at this time.

I’ll also keep at least 10 BUSD in the in-game wallet for smaller upgrades to equipment & forging when needed. Money spent here will be recouped by material/ equipment sales, especially when selling something that moves quickly.

In Summary

So I’m glad that I found this hero. I’m also glad that I didn’t buy him & came up with another strategy for getting back to ROI ASAP. Time will tell whether I made the right decision or not.

Knowing what I know now, I would have spent a little extra money & bought this hero earlier in the game. He would have helped me increase my earnings A LOT! (Lessons learned)

Now I need to concentrate on making ROI first then looking into buying more heroes.

I’m glad that I didn’t let FOMO win & fought the good fight.

FOMO can kill if you not careful…

Also, as a side note, after waiting & watching for a few days, his price has just gone down again.

So, I’ll continue to watch & see if his price continues to go down. If he is a real good deal after the new year then I’ll look again at buying him then.

As always, thank you again for reading my articles.
