Hi all!
Crazyfight here and today i'm gonna teach you guys about how to:
1) level 70 in less than 40 days
2) increase your gold income enough to upgrade before you even care about gold event
3) you will also forget to buy your x2 gold pack
4) and your gem cavern have max level with no delay

the goal of this guide is to prevent the same mistake of all high level player has encountered and suffer before the game release till now
but everything have its cost, your gear and squad will be weak as a level 70 but don't worry when gold and gem issue is no more when you pass though this trial
so let's get started

I/ when you can auto 24-3 normal:
- 160 exp with 6xx gold wasn't bad and yet it have the highest exp ratio not including daily event map, if you gonna level up fast, build the market place and grab the energy pack sell with gold from it and dont forget to grab the lunch and dinner energy bonus
- just do it when you get to 70
- skip the events, it slow down your progress a lot

II/ when you need gold:
- so lets talk about gold, i don't farm the gold mine much and on that time i have no power to grab more than 60.000 gold each time i run the legendary gold map so don't feel bad when you don't have any hero good as gold farming
- when you farm the 24-3 normal map for exp, it will drop out a bunch of bags, there is your gold sauce but don't laugh at me when it didn't work, i know some people here was realized upgrade them to level 1 have more price on selling so i will say that: with 1* euips, you can +1 them before selling but with 2* equips, you can +2 them along with +3 for 3* equips
- think twice on expedition, with me that is a shop open everyday for you to buy some stuff with cheap price, just send what you gonna need (hp pots, exp pots, gold, energy, etc) don't bother send expedition with the things that not necessary for your future use
- build gold mine, farm, iron quarry, not just gold mine can provide you gold, you can sell all the material they produce for gold either
- fusion altar's expedition give you gold items that provide you more than the amount of gold you obtain from gold mine's expedition (60.000 gold)
- make sure you don't ever write your name on global chat with the "has update his equip to +15" you will do it later

III/ when you upgrading your garrison:
- anything but not the academy, your daily job key is enough for you to promote your hero, its a waste
- anything but worker hut, you don't upgrade your equips cuz you need gold and the problem about your building delay is come from your level up speed i get to level 70 just 12 hours before i can upgrade my garrison to 20, don't think when your level is ahead of your garrison you can slow down also i never let my energy bar fill full
- anything but the alchemy lab, even you can craft the exp pots, you only can use it for your hero
- anything but the merc camp, you need gems for 10x summon and get your five star from it, not from the merc camp
- anything but the towers, you don't have any slot left
- and don't build the worker hut

IV/ when you upgrading your hero
- don't use one star fodder even with your 3* units
- don't use pots to level up, unless you can't put it in the farm squad
- don't express the maps, if you have time and heroes still haven't max level, auto it
- don't upgrade your skills until you reach it's final form including newbies
- don't waste gold on your equips, +6 is enough

be note:
- with the fastest speed as possible as a free to play player i can make sure that you will have enough gold to upgrade your garrison with max speed but barely enough time to level it max after you level up to 70 and after that, you don't need to care about your level anymore
- also with gold, the last level of gem cavern cost me 3 million when i still have 3,5 million gold so its also perfectly enough
- i don't have the help from x2 gold pack and gold mine, you too
- again after you reach the goal of this guide, you will be a lot weaker than other people at the same level but now with the higher gold income, no problem on upgrading the garrison, a plenty of exp and hp pots stack on your bag, you can now start to upgrade your equips and do anything you want without bother about gold and gems at all
- be patience and smart, that is our only way to beat P2P players

Im not sure if this is a good idea. Sure you are rushing to get the gem cavern but missing out on events? Events give a lot of free gems too and its not like you are not leveling at all. I am level 60 close to 61 in just 33 days. Never skipped out on doing events that i could do since they gave out free gems for achievements and a free 4* set. I also love the worker hut. Lots of hammers that saved me a ton of gold in equipment upgrades. 

This is a new approach/perspective in making yourself way through the game with gold production in mind over the competitiveness of your squad. I just don't know if this is recommended but I guess this is great to those with the same view of the game. Im just level 61 in my first month of playing and I think Im behind with my garrison buildings since I lack gold and I focus much on events which I think gave me decent equipment sets for my heroes

Thanks for the efforts though!

Thanks for the guide guys,  the beauty of F2P:

- enjoy levelling up for free, if developer highjack the game, you can just delete it. No money wasted, only time.

- if we win in arena, it is an encouragement that we are doing it right and using the best of our free resources and given heros.

- if we lose in arena, well let's improve and share in the forum. Or perhaps the winner is a p2w player with better heros, well since he pays, he wins. 
   We keep our money and still enjoy the game. 

As long as we do not fall into developer "level up fast" traps and advertising promotion and lose real money. Losing or progressing slowly is fine.

PS: Once you start paying real money, be it a small amount, you be tempted into the perpetual paying trap of endless upgrading when u get beaten in arena. Not to mention developer constant addition of new characters to suck in the money.

Enjoy guys.....

If you are a p2w player reading this, well you can troll it.

Whenever I see posts like these about f2p and p2w, I'm reminded of this post, lol.

I specifically agree that the game is pay for convenience ^^

I like how f2p player diss p2w players. The p2w players are the one who are paying for you to have a game to play.

This thread isnt even about that. All it takes is one random troll.
Back to the point though. The guide is great if you want to rush the gem cavern as fast as possible(56 days is really really fast). But it comes at the price of having little to no progress on your squad and forgoing any boons from events. 

Finally started upgrading my gem cavern to lvl5. It will take 4 days to finish(with a workers hut) and today is the 63rd day since I started playing. Playing normally without skipping events, doing story quests until I got access to the legendary job quests, farming 24-3 every now and then also without buying energy at all. Thats 67 days to a maxed out gem cavern and I even got myself a team that can clear Legendary Capitol without potions.

This is a really terrible guide with terrible advice. So what if you got the gem cavern maxed after 56 days? At the end of 56 days you find yourself with a gem cavern but a rubbish team that can't clear anything.

Missing events is the stupidest thing you can do especially as a F2P in this game. Each special event gives at least 200 gems from achievements alone. Much much more if it's the pillars kind of event.

Missing gold mine daily is the second stupidest thing you can do. This is not a game where you farm the gold the normal way through quests. Gold mine is your biggest source of gold and to get more gold from gold mine you need a decent squad to clear 8/9/10 floors of legendary gold mine. Rushing for gold and ignoring gold mine is simply stupid /incoherent.

I'm at day 6x and farming all events full time and I have a level 3/4 gem cavern. You are at best earning 6 gems per day more than me from the gem cavern until I catch up to level 5. But over the course of these 2 months I have earned all event gems from achievements possible (let's say 200 per event and average 2 weeks per event, so a total of 800 gems just from the event achievement chests and much more from the recent pillars event.)

How long will it take the gem cavern to earn that many gems?

Yours (OP) is the biggest mistake. Not other playerz

Some things I would like to point out:
1) Previous events (around halloween and carnival), did not have such good prizes (aka a lot of gems). That time, gems were given out in much less amounts. Current events give more gems,especially the twin tower events. So, the guide was applicable then. Due to patches and all, this guide may no longer be exactly viable. 
2) You also need to consider that gem cavern is a LONG term investment. At that time, with the available information, while I wouldn't say that it is the BEST choice, it was a rather forward thinking. In the end though, it likely couldn't have worked, since many changes happened...
3) Finally, hindsight is always 20/20.
