![]() ![]() If you just play single player arena matches, these typically last 2 minutes and you earn 1-5 gems, for a rate of 0.5-2.5 gems/min. How to get all these gems? Other than just through normal progression (which would be hard to estimate time), I identify three major ways to get gems, and calculate rate of earning gems: Note that you can discount the above prices by 40 if you intend to keep the starter non-blank heads you get. This will cost 820 gems per type you buy for a total of 3280. Finally the last and cheapest way is to create three additional profiles and buy each head type separately (the main will buy the first head type) and then trade the heads to your main at the end. Total cost of this ‘smart’ strategy is 4640 and this is the minimum without using multiple accounts or getting heads in trade. Alternately, you can buy heads from enough different types so that you avoid the premium pricing (ie never buy heads at 15 or 20 if other heads types are offered for less). Total cost of this sequential method is 4795. You can buy each head type in turn, though this will be the most expensive way as you are paying the premium on the first head type. To buy all of the heads and get this achievement will take a large number of gems based upon the method used. This system seems to be in place to raise the price if you try and buy different heads types on different profiles. Additionally if you have too many of one head type then the price for that head type may be higher than the price for other heads. Note that 'star heads' do not count into this calculation at all. The cost of new heads depends upon how many total heads (counting blank ones) you own, based on the following table: ![]() Head cost seems initially confusing but upon further testing proved to be fairly straightforward. When you purchase a head it gives you a random unacquired head of that shape. These machines cost gems, starting at 10 gems and increasing based on how many heads of that type and total that you currently have (more on prices in the next paragraph). The gift shop sell the heads from four vending machines sorted by type. In order to pop the achievement you must possess all heads at one time, acquiring a head and then trading it away will not make progress towards the achievement. For each type of head there is one default “blank” head that is untradeable (you always have it), the other 63 can be traded. The heads can be acquired by purchase from the vending machines in the gift shop area, or via trade form another player. There are 64 heads of each type and thus 256 total heads. This achievement does not count special heads (the star category), it only counts the four regular types: circle, triangle, square, rectangle. This achievement is for acquiring all of the prisoner heads.
