@pba2014 – When I got to 1,753 challenges I was pretty much out of gems so I had to decide on the long harvesting process or take advantage of the discounted gem sale prices and treat (and lower) myself to a IAP package of 1,200 gems. The price was $15.35 for 1,200 (today’s on my app it’s showing $21.78 so I guess the summer sale is over).

So yeah “gasp!” ..”say it ain’t so ABGoFast”…well kiddies, I never claimed to be a clean racer…I sometimes treat myself to PEGs (performance enhancing gems) … it gives you a rush like no other … way better than just going fast. It’s like going super fast!

I do admire all the clean / no IAP-PEG racers out there but harvesting gems is not much fun. Here are my top 5 favorite things to do to harvest them though…I can probably get about 50 to 75 in one gaming session but no @angryde when it comes to being a harvesting master:

1. daily event = 10
… obvious to all of us
2. watch video = 15
… last two times I’ve done this, I could watch 5 videos * 3 gems once a day
3. seedway track #2 – fruit splat
… almost always 2 or 3 gems on this track every second race
4. rocky road track #2 – time boom
… almost always 2 or 3 gems on this track every second race
5. lucky boxes – don’t use the rewards
… I’ve seen some posts that these are more rare in this update for iOS…not on android…my app friends should know, I’ve given at least 3 to 5 to each of them in the last week
… I have also noticed that if you get all the special “free” items and don’t use them, they don’t repeat…then the game seems to only give you +3 gems OR any of the 4 power ups…unfortunately you also run the risk of getting the +200, +500, +800 lousy bird coins (btw…over 7 million of those now!)
6. multi-player
… when I seem to win the 5 races (don’t get me started on some of the crap programming inside this setup), the rewards have mostly been gems or coins … since it’s 50/50 on this, I don’t waste my time with this option cause doing 5 wins and getting +500 or +200 bird coins usually means I’m adding my own coins to the swear jar!

As far as the repetition of challenges goes, it’s sucking the life out of me … no variety at all … same 10 or so then they repeat over and over (am I Bill Murray in Groundhog day??) … the next new ABGo! update has to breath life into the game for me by taking this multi-player thing to the next level OR open a new track with new driver characters (cough…Stella’s new friends? the Transformers? so many new games coming that I worry we won’t get much anytime soon)

The only reason I’m still playing ABGo! (besides the growing addiction to PEGs) is for some silly reason the idea of getting 2,000 challenges and achieving @nacho18’s forum goal is consuming me! I must have it. It will be mine … my precious!
