A lot depends on the skill of the player, how quickly they can beat a challenge, how many challenges they can fully complete, etc. There have been days where I've cleared all 4 challenges in about an hour, other days where I've spent that much time on a single challenge. At my current rate of collection, I should have parts for 2 of the 3 tables to fully upgrade in 2 days. That means it will have taken me 13 challenge cycle days to earn that. The 3rd will probably complete a day or two after. I have 131 coins right now, so I'll be able to upgrade one of those fully. I'll have enough coins to upgrade the 2nd table within 7 days. The third will take 14 days time to collect after that, as I'm averaging 7 coins per day. Keep in mind, I consider myself a better than average player and I'm earning from the Premium challenge always the 5 star reward, usually the 10 star, and rarely the 15 (that one is a beast to beat). The Pro 15 star goal reward has consistently given the best rewards, whether it be a large ticket pack or a +6 parts pack. The Premium 5 star rewards are rather crap considering the cost to play, and the 10 star reward is only +5 table parts and ticket packs that are medium to high in count. I did get a +4 coin today from it, but that is not the norm. I would love to know what rewards people are getting from the Zen coin card flip. The flips tend to be fairly consistent to each goal reward level. When coins weren't so valuable, I was flipping them and getting a lot of table parts. If there were more coins hiding under them, it would totally be worth it. Maybe I'll flip some once I can upgrade everything. It'll be 12 coins to spend in one day, another 12 the following to see if there's any sort of regular pattern. You can see why I'm not doing that currently!Taking all the guess work out of this, all the times it feels you're getting nowhere, and instead tracking all this hard data, it's making me see the path needed to earn these tables. It does require playing daily, it does require figuring out the best way to score with each table for each type of challenge, and it does require that you spend your assets wisely. As I keep mentioning, this is all being done under the best of circumstances. I'd be very curious to see how long it'd take me to even get the Advanced challenge unlocked for all tables if I were starting with a brand new account today. From what I've tracked, Basic challenge consistently issues a total of 6 table parts if you complete to 15 stars; +1 for 5 stars, +2 for 10, and +3 for 15. That's at minimum, as I've had +4 pop up now and then too. But spread out over 10 tables, and needing 2 stars to play the Advanced challenge, that's gonna be a while until all tables are available. Once Advanced is opened though, it's +2/+3+5 parts daily on top of the 6 you earn from Basic (so a minimum of 16 daily), and the ticket count is much better. If I had to guess I'd say after a week you'd be able to play in Advanced more often than not. 2 weeks after that you'd maybe even have a table or two that could play the Pro challenge.And yes the ads suck, but my new goal has been to try and finish all the Advanced challenges is 5 tries or less. I feel like I've beat the system when I do! Then there's days like today with 1 ball AFM and I had to suffer through ads A LOT.</blockquote>
