Camo outfits (like Golem) are coming out on TH at next reset, so here's how to get them in as few keys as possible:

On days 1-3, there are 5 gems, 1 for each part that can be won that day. If you already have a part, that gem disappears. This means that if you have 0 of that days parts, you get 5 chances to win, 1 part=4 chances, and so on.

On days 4-5, there are still 5 gems, but each is for the 3 items that go in a given slot. Example: 1 of the slots holds a random leg item you don't have. If you already have all 3 legs, that gem disappears and you only have 4 chances left to win.

The key here is that which parts you have affects your chance to win, so you can increase your chance to win by trading away certain parts. Any camo part can be traded 1:1 for any other camo part, so the only limit is your total # of parts.

------

Note, if you only want 5 parts, just follow the guide until you have 5.

Guide for day 1: Stop before getting 2 parts. It doesn't matter whether you get 0 or 1, but the chance to win goes down after that first one, and it'll go back up on day 2.

Day 2: Trade any day 2 parts you get for day 1 parts before you use more keys. This way you'll stay at 5 chances to win. If you get 6 total parts, stop (since that means you have one you can't trade).

Day 3: As day 2, but trade for day 1 or 2 parts. You can now go all the way to 15 parts, but I recommend waiting till day 5 anyway for the extra daily keys.

Days 4&5: Now you need to minimize how many slots you have all 3 parts for, so any time you get all 3 legs or all 3 heads etc, trade 1 away.

Following this strategy means you can stay at 5 chances to win until after your 11th part. As an example to show how much this helps, my method costs about 37% fewer keys than getting all 15 parts as soon as they're released. If you only want 5 parts, my method saves about 56% over getting them on release day. Member since 10/21/13. Maxed 3/18/15. Comped 3/18/15. Trimmed 10/10/15 (#1058). Current goal: True Comp

And yes, freezing slots helps too, and whatever else you usually do to get more keys, like daily challenges, troll invasion and whichever D&D gives a free key token this week (currently Penguin Hide and Seek).

Using this method, I can get 5 parts without using any bought keys (and without having to destroy earned ones because I hit the cap of 10).

And yes, I had to split this out or I'd have run out of room in the last post, so I put all the important stuff up there. There should still be enough room to quote it along with a short message, not that I know of anyone who likes to do that *cough*cuddle*cough*. Member since 10/21/13. Maxed 3/18/15. Comped 3/18/15.
