Gems do fall from ESO Blades Gold monster plus they arrive in chests too, but the slow grind gets really old after a while even after paying to get a few gems for ahead. Some of those mythical weapons arrive in chests as I haven't seen it myself but I've gotten some decent ones that I couldn't craft/enchant yet. It'd be fine if it was lopsided in favor of paying jewels when you do and they don't get you that much further. Not whale amounts here, I got a packages that were little but they did not help that much except to relieve my own impatience for a brief amount of time. Otherwise it's still a ton of mindnumbingly abyss runs. A game! The stone item requires work.
I've had a fantastic time and have not paid for a thing although it's definitely not a marathon match with all the timers/cash-skips. Then you are going to need to pay, if you're expecting to be able to pick it up and play for long periods of time. The timers are not really that big of a deal, if you play with with it . Gold torso takes six hours unlock, unlock all your wooden chests (5 seconds to unlock) prior to hitting the six hour torso (because you can only do one at a time that way) and go to sleep. The following day you'll have a bunch of goodies for your next play session.
All that said, ESO Boosting will find waaaaay to a lot of timers with cash-skips. Even POTIONS contains them. It is unnecessary for them to be embedded whatsoever. The chests I will know, but crafting and constructing only actually leaves a sour taste. 10 minutes to craft 1 potion, or a few premium currency to skip that ten seconds. It's simply too numerous timers, because they're not that strong when you're crafting 15 + potions.
