I'm just wondering if I'm doing things right. Considering some other gacha experience, I am expecting Jewel frequency to drop after a certain time. Following the same experience, I reached stage 75 not worrying much about full stage completion yet (satisfied with 2/3 medals) for the purpose of pulling on the 3000 Jewel banner as fast as possible. After said pull, this is my situation:

I sell the moogles as fast as I get them (already sold the ones in the photo), power up my strongest units with the nephews (that sounds wrong) and considering each of the Keyblades I have has specific uses based on the type of advantage you need, I power them all as soon as I get materials (have 4 slots in all but the first one since I'm missing that Orichalcum). I also power up every avatar but don't go for cosmetic stuff.
What are some general pointers from this point on?
Also, I'm semi-tempted to get the 3000+1700 deal so I'm also wondering if that is worth it. I don't plan on spending much if at all on this game but I usually go for starter stuff as they can get you a long way.
1. Jewel frequency will drop once you catch up on the Story missions (currently there are 350 in NA). You'll also get 30 for beating each Special/Event mission for the first time.
2. DO worry about doing each optional objective for missions. Mythril Shards are primarily obtained this way and are necessary for every Keyblade level up. The Avatar coins are also quite useful.
3. As far as keyblades go, the most powerful thing you can do is get 5 slots. The attack bonuses are nice, but unless you're maxing Starlight (the first keyblade), they're limited to just one attack type.
4. Good work with the avatar boards, just get those first 3 (the AP, Cost, and HP increases), then go to the next board. You can come back and clean up later.
5. If you're going to buy the $15 upgrade, this is the week to do it. With the 1AP event and the VIP quests together, leveling/evolving medals is absolutely broken. Went from 5 6* medals to about 30.
6. If you do decide to buy the $15 unlock, do the Cid daily quest every day. You'll be glad you did later on.

EDIT: So, apparently I'm crazy for this. I have no idea how you people don't need a ton of storage.
8. Make sure you understand the process of evolving and guilting medals, it's how you make them truly strong.
EDIT: 9. Don't worry about getting medals to 6 stars initially. The keyblade cost for 5 stars and below is small enough that you'll probably never even notice the mechanic is there, but you'll have to start managing it if you use 6* medals. And a deck of 5* medals will get you through most of the story missions/a lot of the Special/Event ones.
