My criteria is that I only use it for the bosses (the three bosses at the main doors and at the very top). I don't like to waste it, so I only use it on the last guess. So far that's worked out ok for me.Last Spire, I used a spectral stone to help me finish convincing some ghosts. What is the best way to use one of these? At the beginning, middle or end of convincing? What are your thoughts on how well the work compared to not using them at all?
My advice to members of the FS I am in is to never go higher than the FS reward level unless you can do it with ease. Many players will strive to the top and use a crushing amount of resources and if the FS only gets to the Lab level then you get members that complain about the spire not being worth it.Do most players play the spire until the run out of resources? I am too stingy and too much of a hoarder to do that. I got to the top last week while only needing to convince 4 times. The rest were battles. I am still working to make my fighting more efficient. I even used auto battle several times because the one resource that is the most precious is time. The spire takes forever and a day and I can't play for hours on end.
I autofight Most all battles unless I see that it will be difficult or if it will be a fun one to play, probably manual fight 10% or less.@ed1960 Do you manually fight all the way? I can't get to the top in one sitting. It's like 48 battles or something and about 3 to 5 minutes a battle. That's a ton.
Is there a reason why you are trying to do it all in one sitting? You do have a whole week to clear 3 sections. Even if one is short on time, sporadic sprints are prob a more relaxed pace than full sprint.Do you manually fight all the way? I can't get to the top in one sitting.

Booo Mist Walker (see signature)! Check out Mist Walker Roulette. She can be baited with a Dryad. It's not 100% that she'll go after the dryad, but it's high enough that I feel comfortable deploying mages with her around now. It works in both manual and autofighting.I also don't have to get worked up about those stupid little rasta archer guys who kill my men every battle
My main city is parked at the start of Ch16 and I am building up my AW's and build troops 24/7 Most of the ones I use are well over 999 Squads and I feed the fire chicken and usually deploy a Military bldg or 2 (ELR or MMM). Also as @crackie said you can negotiate the lower levels once you get the hang of it.@ed1960 I need to get to your power and production levels cuz autofighting is so much quicker. I also don't have to get worked up about those stupid little rasta archer guys who kill my men every battle
Well keep it up with the spire Wiz and you will soon see that it's not too difficult to win by negotiations, I do it in my smaller cities.@ed1960 @crackie I don't fight it all in one day nor do I want to. Ed was the one who fights it in one day and I was merely commenting on what he said. I do some convincing but since Time is the good that is most important to me, convincing a boss is basically giving 25 or more diamonds away so it kind of stinks. I use the spire wizard now on the most intricate negotiations to try to save myself.
