Oh and we want us high level VIPs to be able to do this more than our free-account rivals. Thank You.

This idea has been brought to you by the Birchcoomb Foundation, by Mistfall International Inc., and by the Synvers Company.
To be honest I've been finding the shrine to be rather useless lately. I get about 1.5M coins per gem. Participating to GW gives me 10M coins. Banish between 10M coins and 30M coins each. Guild chests 4.5M coins about 3-4 times a day.

I'd rather keep my gems for other things, like buying stamina, clearing cooldowns, and grand investments.
