Total cost to clear the entire hat set: 1,000 gems, 2 Express Tickets, and 20 Normal Tickets. I still despise the Tower of Fortune.
Let’s be real for a second: The Tower of Fortune is one of the most predatory, manipulative, and frustrating mechanics in mobile gaming history. The rigged double/triple pig combos on floors 22-24 and the blatant "gatekeeper pigs" right before jackpot floors are pure psychological garbage.
I used 2 Express Tickets (1 bought with event tokens—since the shop caps it at 1, and 1 saved from the season pass). They carried me smoothly through floors 30 and 50, netting me EVERY hat except Floor 40. The algorithm literally held that single Floor 40 hat hostage! I had to spend ~1,000 gems and ~20 Normal Tickets just forcing my way through to get it.
And then the game has the nerve to push a ridiculous "Event Currency Pack" in my face for HK$788 (~$100 USD)! Absolutely insane greed. They design impossible token requirements just to force you into buying these absurdly overpriced bundles.
Quick questions for the community:
1. How many event tokens (cookies) does it actually take to upgrade the rest of the hats to 3-star? The shop prices for the higher tiers look ridiculous!
2. Is it worth blowing 6,000 Arena Coins on those 500-coin Legendary Chests to gamble for extra event currency, or is that a huge scam?
