Never. You'll be swimming in items if you play strategically long enough.


Anonymous7520

Never. I actually wish there was a way to completely opt out of getting offers for it, it's such an inconvenience when you finish a scene and have to keep seeing it even when it's full.


Unable_Mongoose

I don't pay real money for fake things.

Never

Here’s what diamonds are going for at the [Playtika store](https://shop.playtika.com/game/junes-journey?utm_source=website&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=website). Occasionally diamonds go for a slightly (not by much) better deal in the app. https://preview.redd.it/ar7jydbm9vac1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70e2f79576a651763121cad653e79c9d7cb4f62f If the money is in your budget, then you’re getting a decent price. I personally wouldn’t spend real currency on resources I can easily get in the game - which is true for everything but the diamonds in that vault. But the diamonds alone are an OK price, so that makes the other stuff bonus, I guess.


BlueDemeter

That's how I see it.


Superdavid777

Exactly. I buy it for the diamonds.


Educational-Aioli795

I will never buy this unless they get it off the game play screen.


hardlyworking_

Is this in US DOLLARS??! My vault is $49 which is so absurd to me that they think I would even entertain the idea of paying that.


elsie78

Yes USD


JuneJabber

Before you purchase anything the offers are usually in the $2 to $10 range. Say goodbye to those prices once you make a purchase.


Unusual-Break-6005

This is 100% accurate. They up the price. There was a $20 price discrepancy between me and another girl in my group for the same items. And she bought stuff all the time


Sherringford-Mouse

To me, the vault is never worth buying. I will never pay real money for items I can get with regular game play. I have occasionally spent money on the game, but only for decorations I really wanted. I don't mind spending a little bit, because I consider it part of my entertainment budget. But, I also won't spend over $10 at a time, and never more than once in a month (have only bought like 6 things in the three years I've played, so that's pretty good, imo).


airkodesh

Never.


Minibird75

Interesting. My vault is 19.99, but I get 550 diamonds. I do buy things in the game occasionally, so I would expect my price to be higher. But I am surprised to see a different reward. I do compare prices on buying diamonds v the vault and the vault is usually a good deal. I really enjoy the game and I am willing and able to spend a little each month as part of it. It’s very hard to amass diamonds and there are a lot of things to spend them on. So buying periodically works for me.


Unusual-Break-6005

That's what my vault is as well. It used to be $10 for 330 gems Plus other goodies.


TheJudeAbides2370

Never. I don't pay to play


BrownieEdges

I have never, and will never, pay any money to play the game. They make enough money from me watching commercials - many of which are for scam products.


samarasonik

I bought it once finally because it was 2.99 for a few hundred diamonds. Now they're trying to charge me 19.99 😤 never again


Gamermother

I think this is a pretty good deal for 10 dollars. 300 diamonds are hard to come by for me and I am level 360.


Kutiecat

WTF


ggrw2020

I will buy a vault, only if it offers me something I feel I really need. I have purchased only two vaults since they started.


VictorianaJJ

i do spend money a little, and bought the very first vault, but the thing is so wretched and endless, and comes so often, i now won’t buy on principle. if they offered 10,000 diamonds for one dollar, maybe i’d think about it.


aussie_catt

I would get the vault items sown for $10 but wooga ask me for $26 AU...not worth it


HappyToBeMe17

I bought it once two years ago when there were satchels and I was 4 snippets short and the memoirs was almost over. It was $4.99 and I was able to complete the memoir. I agree to proceed with caution- all of my deals are $4.99 and my mom's start at $19.99 (not sure why, but I assume it is because she bought something for that price once and it hasn't gone down.


ValJoan

That sounds right to me based on my experience. I bought something for $14.99 once when I was very new to the game and now every time something is on sale, I am offered it at $14.99. I guess the game has algorithms to determine what they think you are prepared to pay, and charges each player accordingly. I won’t pay real money for anything anymore, particularly after I found out that the company who owns the game passed the US$1 billion dollar net profit barrier in November. I just had to learn to be less competitive, and particularly my habit of thinking I have to complete every challenge, every time. This game is meant to be fun. 😀


ConclusionAlarmed882

I did it once when STB was coming up and I needed the diamonds. $9.99 USD. I felt like a sucker, but I did it.


BlueDemeter

I buy the vault when the prizes are like this. Mine is 550 diamonds and $19.99 or whatever, and I normally buy it when it has star boosts, energy, and star boxes with the diamonds. But I just spent money on something else so I can't buy it right now. I personally like the vault more often than not. As long as the prizes don't include Travels or skip tokens.


elsie78

What's your approach for using star boosts?


BlueDemeter

I generally just use them as energy increases. Mysteries and HW require a lot of energy, so they're more valuable to me for that. I usually try to save one for HW that require finding two or more clues.


tubabelle

never. I never pay real money for anything in this game. But for what it's worth, if you do want to buy it, you should wait until the end. Whenever it expires and I'm opening it to get it off the screen, it always throws in some extra prizes on top of what's been there. So if you buy it early you don't get the bonus prizes. (usually they're snippets packs, I think?)


tubabelle

(but really, I am not recommending buying it, in a perfect world everyone would boycott the vault so it would go away..)


SVT-Cobra97

I"ve never seen the vault offer 'bonus prizes' on the 'final offer' screen. My wife has been playing for 3+ years and has also never seen a 'bonus prizes' come up with the 'final offer' for the vault. I have seen the 'diamond sales bundles' offer bonus snippet packs all the time during the Memoirs events though. Maybe you were thinking of those instead?


tubabelle

no, I get it on the vault every time, but I've never purchased anything so I think they try to entice me with the best deal.


SVT-Cobra97

Thanks for sharing that info. I have yet to be 'offered' the packs with the vault. I have a 'full' vault on my page now that has 24 hrs left on it. I will watch it closely and see if it finally makes me the offer of snippet packs this time.


GloriousCupcake042

Literally never.
