✭✭✭✭✭Extract the Major ones, keep the Grand ones if there's any possibility you're going to make a few more characters eventually. I have so many alts I use all of mine for leveling.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Extract the scrolls for crown gemsHaving enlightenment, free scrolls from rewards or store pots and all those events we thrown into its not really worth to use those, but that's obviously depends if you have anything else saved up. For me personally at 1800+ exp gain seems fast enough to not be bothered with any boosts.5 -

✭I can't vote because it's "other" for me. It 100% depends on your own personal needs. I try to explain what I mean:
- Do you have several other experience scrolls, of those that are not tradable for gems? If yes, how many? If you have a lot, then the ones with tradable for gems are less necessary and you have less pressure on you to "lose" them for gems.
- How far are your CPs (or level)? OK for you? Or you want more? And if more, how urgent is it for you to build them up?
- What for do you need the gems? Something that you want absolutely and for which you have not enough crowns? Or do you have enough crowns to cover?
Once you have answered those questions, it will give you an overview of the different alternatives you have and it's then with you to decide what are your priorities, depending what is the most urgent to you.
I believe that none of us can make that decision for you because it's by far too much depending on your own personal boundary conditions and priorities.I'm out of my mind, feel free to leave a message... PC/NA1 -

✭Extract the scrolls for crown gemsYou're 41 CPs from 2k. That's what, 1 rnd per day for a week? Don't not convert those scrolls. You can buy a full radiant apex for that gem.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Extract the scrolls for crown gemsI'd definitely convert the scrolls into gems because you can get XP scrolls (and other XP boosts) from other sources, but you only get crown gems from items in crown crates, and you could save yourself a lot of money/crowns by converting those scrolls and using them for the items you want.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Freakin_Hytte✭✭✭✭✭Use the scrolls for experienceI would save the big ones and extract the middle and low ones. You get so many of those from other sources that you don't need the extra ones from crates0

✭✭✭✭✭Extract the scrolls for crown gemsGems are more rare resource, so you should extract them. You can get exp boosts from potions, the free scroll, events, etc. Gems only come from extracting.3 -

I completely forgot about Mythic Aetherial Ambrosia. I will buy those and extract the scrolls for crown gems.
Thanks!PC NA4 -

✭✭✭✭✭Extract the scrolls for crown gemsExtract because a) you can get equivalent potions in game (even though they last less) for gold, and b) you are at a high cp level so grinding is not a priority (especially since there's not enough passives stars and only 4 slottables).3 -

✭✭Extract the scrolls for crown gemsJust use the free scrolls from daily log in rewards or buy or make XP potions.0 -

It's a reward from a crate. All crate rewards can be extracted except for collectibles you don't already own. Duplicate cosmetics are automatically extracted for you.
You can't extract your free scrollsEdited by spartaxoxo on October 17, 2021 3:36PM1 -

That explains why I've never seen this because I don't do crates.

✭✭✭✭✭Extract the scrolls for crown gems- You can get experience point just by playing the game (and you have a lot of CP already).
- You can not get awesome mounts, emotes, outfits, costumes etc just by playing the game.
So the answer if obvious, at least for me. If I had the possibility - I would extract as many crown gems as possible. But the final decision goes to you op - it is up to you.Edited by Tommy_The_Gun on October 17, 2021 6:02PM1 -

✭Extract the scrolls for crown gemsCaveat being I have 200+ 50% scrolls, 100+ 100% scrolls and 27 150% scrolls...so no real reason for me to keep them.
If you have all the CP you need, no real reason to keep them.--- HuntGod ---
