The continue price should start at 20 gems, then go to 50, then 100. I think the next price is 200 gems but I’ve never gotten that far and only ever at most spend gems on the first 2 continues as 20 and 50 gems respectively isn’t that much and definitely not as bad when you earn gems which will cover the costs.

There’s only been a few times that I’ve paid gems for a 3rd continue and that’s when the ToF “allowed” me to get really far with minimal pigs and given me good prizes and lots of gems, though this rarely happens. I won’t ever be willing to spend 200 gems on a continue as knowing the ToF’s nature I’d just get a pig on the next 1-2 floors which isn’t worth 200 gems.

Here’s some advice/tips:

1. If you have the ad video available (some don’t have it for whatever reason) then you should always use it to leave on, as you only get the one video. It’s a get out of jail free so save it right for the end of your run. Some players don’t have the video as an option and at that point I would ignore the ToF altogether.

2. The first continue is cheap and there’s no real loss to paying for it; 20 gems is a negligible amount that you can get right back from doing a few of you Daily Quests, so don’t be afraid to pay it since it’s inexpensive and pretty much a free continue.

3. When you get a pig, look at what prizes you have and determine if they’re worth spending gems over. For example, only apples and feathers are not worth spending gems over to continue; a pig as early as floor 2, 3 or 4 and you only have 20 feathers and 2-3 apples, keep your gems, use the video and leave. If it were a few random spells, I’d be willing to spend the gems to continue as for me a couple spells is definitely worth a mere 20 gems.

4. If you get a pig on floor 2 or 3, use the video and leave. A pig this early is never worth spending gems on and it’s usually a bad sign that you’re going to get another pig on the next 1-2 floors so you’re better off leaving with whatever you have. The only times I ever would pay for the 1st continue that early is if I had spells and/or gems as then the cost is covered. Speaking of gems:

5. If you’ve earned gems from one or more floors, use them to pay for the 1st continue. It should cover the cost so it’s essentially a free continue, saving you the video. If you’re lucky enough to get more gems as you continue up the floors then you can likely cover the 2nd continue. Once you hit the 3rd pig and the continue costs 100 gems, it’s best to use the video and leave, unless you’ve earned even more gems, in which case pay the 3rd time and use the video on the next pig.

6. If you get up to floor 5 with no pigs, you should definitely spend the 20 gems for the 1st continue, as really the prizes only start becoming acceptable past floor 5. Even if you get a pig on floor 6, spend the gems and keep going, then depending on what you get, continue again with gems or use the video and leave.

7. If you’re 1-2 floors away from a safe floor after using the video, this is a trap. The ToF wants you to think “eh, I may aswell go on up to the safe floor since it’s so close”. Don’t bother, you’ll most probably get a pig and lose everything. Better to be safe than sorry.
