The bond is back baby! Woot!
Bought bronze silver gold and platinum and got tidal siren, Sagittarius, Leo(of course) and Capricorn! Booyah!
Very jealous of those dahlias you guys above pulled. One of my guild mates got a paragon.
This run of the bond is amazing for what you can get!

ok here are some stats from our guild.
3k draws: - 51 draw total (includes some alts) - 11 people got at least 1 five star, no one got double five star. so hit rate per draw of 10.8% - anathema, 2x blossoms, cancer, dahlia, gorgon, 2x sagittarius, sea wiz, spirit siren, titania
7k draws: - 46 draws total - 15 accounts got at least 1 five star, of these 3 got at least 2 five stars, one got 3 (draw was faen mester, swordmaster, paragon, bewitcher and killer queen) - hit rate per draw of 8.3%. Overall seems to me the hit rate for five stars per card drawn across the 3k and 7k draws is probably 10% - 5 stars drawn: angel prime, ash beast, cancer, gorgon, 2xkiller queen, 2x nidhogg, 2xparagon, liege, pit dragon, 2xsagittarius, revenant, sea wiz, bewitcher, spirit siren, terror dragon, tidal siren
15k draws: - 6 draws in total - tidal siren, capricorn, bewitcher, terror dragon, mimir tree, anathema

Wow you guys had godly pulls! I bought all chests but the fourth one and got no 5 star except for the guaranteed one (cancer) But I'm happy Alice is back next time I'll be able to buy them all. Last time I had Pit dragon and Bewitcher (guaranteed)

I have just done bronze, silver, gold for the first time, was on a sojurn from DH when the 1st bond happened My plan is to keep the bond payouts, save up for alchemy 50k and then drop on the next bond, if there is one? Did anyone manage to do both Alice Bond events or is it a one-time event like alchemy?

Bonds are independent. It's not because you buy some chests this time that you can't get them anymore next time.
If you really want to play smart you need to buy gems and save like crazy until you get 145k gems at which point you can buy all chests every two months (assuming it's a regular event) and make 85k gems each time that you can freely invest in the mine and maze. In that regards this game is fantastic because it gives players the means to generate gems for free. Just imagine you can spend 40k gems every month for FREE.

Well, for this to work you hav to get the initial investment of 145k gems, which is approx. 2000$ best case ... Even with 'best offer gems' from Star membership, (gaining 3000 gems per month) you will need around 3 years of star membership and 6*36 = $216 - EXCEPT if they decide to change the Alice's bond scheme or close this event lol

Its not exactly awesome, because I am beginning to fall behind in tourney from having 'dated' decks and cards. But soon I'll be able to get some cool stuff.

In that regards this game is fantastic because it gives players the means to generate gems for free. Just imagine you can spend 40k gems every month for FREE. Thats good news that you can buy them every time As for your plan, yep thats what im gonna try and do as well.... just need to resist spending those blue shinies Gonna be a bit short for the 50k on the next one, but long-term.... great potential. Once you hit 175000 gems you will be able to get every bond every 2 months, that will pay back 259800 gems in total.... as you said thats 85k profit, rinse and repeat!!! This event would fully justify a one-off Star payment... thats about 3000 gems in a month, not including login bonus, just enough to get you started. From there you can just keep saving, albeit for quite a long time to hit the jackpot

Keeping star will speed things up, plus there is about 500 gems a month from login AFAIK? I do reckon your right that IGG would knock it on the head if it gets too popular though...

Even with 'best offer gems' from Star membership, (gaining 3000 gems per month) you will need around 3 years of star membership and 6*36 = $216 - EXCEPT if they decide to change the Alice's bond scheme or close this event lol Actually no dude. I am a star player. It took me about five months to save from scratch to 20k. The first bond happened at that time. I hit 20k alchemy to 25k and bought bronze,silver,gold first run. Got a tidal siren and pit dragon, saved ever gem for next run. Each payout on the bottom three was about 4200 gems, so I made sure to save extra 300 per was week so the total bond rebates would add up to 36,000 gems. Then I did a one time $99 gem buy on a 50% day to get my 25k extra to push to 60k. Alchemy(50k) gives and extra 10k for about 72,000 that saved by the next run. And I've been spending here And there too. I will save all gems to bring my total this run to 100k(spent 8k on faction war for a prize rank), then next alchemy(100k) should yield 20k more(19-20% usually), then I'm home free until they stop doing the bond, however I think they will likely keep it, its too good for p2w players to not spend after they've blown $$$ on previous events. Like this run, which happens immediately after a back to back sky arena/faction war. Everyone spends gems, then they gotta spend more for the bond. Now. For a f2p player, it is unrealistic to ascend the heights of platinum and diamond bonds in a reasonable time frame. I agree with that. But for a star player. In a top5 battle guild(takes about one-two months to have cards to be in one), plus star bonus, and miscellaneous stuff(login, one or two maintenance,plus Facebook surveys/feedback) it is easy to save 20k gems in two months. Then, either do what I did with a gem purchase, OR, keep saving for two more months another 20k for second run and you're in line with what I did.

Could not resist a quick Excel spreadsheet Keeping STAR, and having just got bronze, silver and gold i have worked out that i will be able to buy all bonds by aug/sep this year. That's presuming i spend no gems and that AB does not get pulled. If you start from scratch, buy Star for just one month, and save up your login reward gems, you could be up to 32k gems by April next year... just food for thought as that is about $500 of gems for $5.99 investment. But as said, the chances of AB running that long is probably not high.

All on HB's, but no revives. Can't even afford to do oinari in mines cause I need heroes more. Its a hard knock life I guess.

Umm, on Guild War days my guild normally comes in about 300ish, thats 15 gems each. I normally burn out quite quickly so only get 25k treasure on average, but could get more if i tried.

Still get my ar@e handed to me though. Last meld day was kind though, have revive Fafnir and revive Mimir's now so doing alot better I now get why you are all out farming Thallasa's being F2P. If you can get on the Bond-wagon you increase your chances of a 1st rebate bonus 5* to help out. I got Dahlia from Gold last week.

That's the best returns I heard so far Yep, I count myself very lucky. Got 2 from one splurge of 8k gems?!? The Human boosters, when only 5 x 5* crits available(inc the GM) is the one to go for. I think it is on average 1 x 5* per 8000 gems, so better to then have a 20% chance of a GM, than normal boosters where you get GM and tons of other 5* crits from all factions. Voldrox, hate to say it, i have 3 Dahlias in total... but to be fair i would have preferred to have spent no money and be F2P like yourself. Luckily i have now managed to be star only for a long time, and with Bond payouts will hopefully never spend again. It is nice to be able to auto through Gauntlet again

Okay, thought I should say this, in light of all the bond talk and things that get too popular getting nerf'd... For those now reading this, please note... Alice bond sucks. Bronze is the only good one, so always just buy that one. Don't bother exploiting, er, 'wasting' gems on the bigger bonds. I'm sure IGG will keep it around for those big spending p2w guys that wanna blow all their gems on that rubbish and all the others out there don't need that.

4 Revives and one recycle 2, wow that is over kill for me. You get so used to not having so much rebirthing abilities that I'm not even sure how I would deploy p e or two revives, let alone having four! Geez dude. Same here, I don't think I will have enough space for 4 Revives in my tournament decks.
