Hi everyone!

With the new LD/BT era just around the corner, I put together a spreadsheet to help plan out your resources for the next year of the game.

>>Link here.<< Go to "File" then click on "Save a Copy" to get a personal version that you can edit yourself!

This spreadsheet helps track gems/tickets and Ruin's Books and Ingots (weapons, not armor resources), and Character Board points, and should update totals for you automatically.

To keep it simple, I've based it off the assumption that people using this tool will also be planning to complete 100% of the content we get. Please note that the amounts in the "Earned Resources" table can be edited if you prefer a different amount in any of those categories.

I've based the gem and ticket estimates off of u/vetheran's monthly GL F2P/Obtainable Resources (thank you so much for your extremely helpful work!). Ingots/Books/Character Board pts. were based off lowest monthly totals to date. Some months will hav more resources than the estimated.

I've done my best to be accurate here, but on the lower end of the scale. This is not meant to be spot-on, but a low-end estimate so that hopefully you have a few extra resources at the end of the month compared to the forecasts.

----------

Instructions:

1 . "Starting Resources": Enter your starting amount of resources for July on the top left table, this is the only month you will enter information here. Do not edit this for any other month, as it will automatically calculate your totals at the start of that month based on your activity the previous month!

2 . "Earned Resources": You can edit the amount of estimated earned resources on the top right table to your preferred amounts if you do not like the generic estimates.

3 . "Planned Character Pulls": Five slots by default. The default reserved gems are split into what tier you are willing to pity (EX, LD, EX/LD, LD/BT, BT, or EX/LD/BT) with the worst case scenario being pitying all 3 weapons separately for an eye-watering 275k gems (seriously, how unlucky could someone be to get to that point? But, better safe than sorry when planning!)

IMPORTANT! Next to the "reserved gems", enter the total you actually spent on that character after you pull for them, and it will update your remaining resources automatically. If you got them with tickets and did not need to spend gems, enter "0".

• If you need more rows for additional characters, you can right-click on the last row in this box and "insert row above" to add another character, and this will automatically add the amount of resources used for that character to the total at the bottom.

4 . "Planned Realization Material Allocation": is for tracking ingots/C.B. points. Please note that you should only mark the "Booked?" tab as Yes if you have not booked the character yet, as this will add the ingot from using that book to your totals.

5 . "Extra Resources": Here is where you can add any extras from unexpected events, extras from costumes/ingot chest purchases, stream rewards, Dimension's End 13 Bonuses, etc. You can also add any ingots you get from the monthly Cactuar Cycle events, as I did not include those in the monthly ingot estimates.

6 . "Ending Resources" should NEVER be edited, changing the totals of any of the cells here will screw up every other month below it, just don't do it :) .

Sorry for the wall of text!

Anyways, if you have any suggestions, feedback, or catch any errors, please let me know and I will fix them as quickly as possible and edit the link for a new version.

Good luck everyone, and may your pulls be ever-lucky!
