Does Priming Gear Actually Save Gems? | Wrath's Playbook

#Evony #WrathsPlaybook #EvonyGuide Welcome to **Wrath's Playbook**— *Where Good Players Become Great Ones.* One of the most expensive parts of developing a general in Evony is refining Civilization Gear. Many players believe that "priming" a piece of gear before locking gold refines can reduce the total number of gems required to complete all four refinement slots. But does priming gear actually work? In this episode, we move beyond opinions and put the idea to a real test. We begin by examining the theory behind priming, review the available data, and then refine an actual piece of Civilization Gear through hundreds of attempts. Every major milestone is documented so you can see when gold refines appeared, when they were locked, and what the complete process ultimately cost. In this lesson, you'll learn: • How priming gear is supposed to work • Why locking an early gold refine can increase future refinement costs • What happened at 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 priming attempts • When each high-value gold refine appeared • Common mistakes that can waste thousands of gems • Whether the final results support the priming strategy The goal of Wrath's Playbook isn't to tell you what to believe. It's to present real testing, real data, and real examples so you can make better decisions for your own account. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 *EPISODE CHAPTERS* 00:00 — The Priming Debate Begins 01:43 — Breaking Down the Theory 03:33 — Reviewing the Test Data 04:39 — First 100 Priming Attempts 10:04 — First High-Value Gold Refine at Attempt 87 10:40 — Testing from 100 to 200 Attempts 15:15 — Entering the 200 Attempt Range 16:20 — Locking the First Gold Refine 21:34 — Priming Through 300 Attempts 24:12 — Locking the Second Gold Refine 26:37 — Priming Through 400 Attempts 30:10 — Locking the Third Gold Refine 31:16 — Reaching 500 Attempts 31:46 — Final Cost, Conclusions & Results ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 *QUESTION FOR THE COMMUNITY* Have you ever primed a piece of gear before locking your first gold refine?
