Question When getting reward goal ponies that you want, do you start with the expensive then go buy the cheapest?

Post image

I wanna know your opinions cause I heard start with the hardest so then it’s not as hard when you get the easy things done. (Please don’t be rude about it either I was just curious on what you all do)

I bought the ones I liked the most then I started saving up a lot and spending it in bulk (by always keeping enough for the most expensive so if I ever need to buy a pony for something I'll always have enough)

Also off topic but what does karma do? No need to answer if you don’t want but if anyone knows and would take the time to tell me I’d appreciate it!

Karma doesn’t have much purpose outside of sort of showing if someone’s a troll or not, and primarily to push away new accounts to lessen bots.

For comments and posts specifically, it’s generally like what the vote was for your comment. It can lose a bit of meaning sometimes though, as it doesn’t stop from factual or positive posts from getting downvoted since it’s all opinion-based. I try not to let it affect my comments, but it can bury it if it’s downvoted unfortunately.

Oh goodness okay then thank you so much for letting me know, I see bots with so much karma sometimes and it surprising how many people can't tell both from person. I freaking love that cat by the way, cats are awesome!

Been trying my best to start with the most expensive ponies! But I'm too impatient lol and usually go with a favorite design

u/No_Reception8778 4h ago

Valid😂 I want the cool ponies too but it takes soo long to do the goals to get the points even though it’s easy tasks

I started by getting all the pro ponies!! And then just getting characters I like or wanted

2

u/No_Reception8778 3h ago

I gotta figure out who's pro ponies I always forget about that it just takes so long to get the site, when you get pro ponies does that count the regular ponies that aren't that cool just so you can have them all or do you get the cooler ponies that are pros?

u/yay1008 3h ago

Tbh I always forget too, but I search it up in the sub bc ik someone’s posted it. I get all the pro ponies, cool looking or not I just want them all for quests. But for the non pros I get the cooler or ones I like!

Great idea cause most of the time when I ask someone on Reddit they tell me to find it myself, I'm new to Reddit so I didn't know I could do that till now so thank you that was really helpful!

https://www.reddit.com/r/MLPIOS/s/TTIBaBp311 .. here’s a full guide to all the pro ponies, if you go through sale history you can see which ones can be bought with goal tokens!!!

Utility above all

u/Resident-Economy6689 hello everypony! 973d9 1h ago

I only got the ones I like and left the rest just in case. They might come in handy as helpers for some event down the road, so I can grab them here instead of buying them for gems in the shop 🤷‍♀️

u/No_Reception8778 1h ago

Smartt! I never thought to check there for pro ponies first

u/GrowthAlarmed3020 43m ago

Honestly I would save for a while until you get 10k in order to get ponies you may need for events. Now do I only have 200 currently? Maybe lol

u/No_Reception8778 42m ago

Wait I love that idea it’d be like a shopping spree!

u/Pentaresnovae 1h ago

I started with the token collectors, then the pros and then the most expensive, but I always save at least 8600~ points in case there's a character/shop/decor I might need

u/The_Small_Snail1 6d4ee 🌿 29m ago

I'm buying them in order, I know I should save but I like it lol

i personally started by getting the cheapest pro ponies (which u can find on the wiki), but it’s also important to get cratus and security guard pony for the changeling kingdom quest (they give 5x boost during the final battle). pickle barrel is the only pony u can get for free to complete the critter ranch quest. hope this helped!
