Just trapped Luminous and he is said to drop gems from adventures. As I had an empty adventure clock I sent all my specials from the element of the day on the longest missions. I got two drops 1, 1 & 3
Then I let the boys play. They say they didn't really get more than a couple each...so now I am wondering what kind of payout anyone else has gotten

I trapped nightshade, too...but with 360M gold I didn't pay attention

When I trapped Luminous I got 1 drop of 3 gems out of around 200 adventures. Seemed a very low drop rate.

Still, anything that turns energy into gems is good value. But definitely wouldn't be paying gems to trap him in the hopes you could make the gems back.

I paid gems for him to see what would happen. I got 3 gems. I run short and long adventures to see if a difference. So I will not be doing that again.

I Got 7 Times 3 diamonds via the adventure clock then ran it again just before it timed out and got 3 more diamonds so a total of 24 diamonds for a 15000 potion payout. Best villain by far

I certainly didn't do that well...more like 12 gems. But it does seem to be a 3 gem drop each time. I may not have paid attention

I maxed out my number of balloons for the day, and, even though I could only play 3 times yesterday, ended up getting 63 gems from Luminous.

see that? I'm giving you the stink-eye, really I am.

What sort of missions? elementals? shorter or long?

I maxed out regular balloons, and I have something like 10 adventure airships. (Sorry, iPad isn't with me)

I have all companions, so my times are the reduced times.

Ran all on the 16 hour adventure, returned with the adventure clock, and got 27 gems.
Ran all on various 3 hour adventures, and got 12 gems.
Ran all on the 7 hour adventure, and got 24 gems.

Total = 63

And will let boys run rampart ruins after homework till dinner and hubby may do some stuff tonight. And then we have till tomorrow early afternoon.
