Re: True cost of 10-gem seed packages for new plants

Thanks for the overview. You just made one mistake =P

In the old shop the price for Pinata wasn't 10 gems - it was 25 gems. So buying the Pinata 10 times is actually cheaper now. In the old shop it was 250 gems in the new shop it is 235 gems. So now you save 15 gems.

However, if you want to buy more than 10 Pinatas it gets very expensive.

    @PowerTossThanks for the correction, I honestly thought it was the same cost in both the old shop and the new one. 

    Will redo the chart this evening and see how they compare.

    If you remember ye goode olde days of the old streak system every time you lost,  the price of retaining your streak was an extra 10 gems added each time and was eventually capped at 250.

    This meant you either were a brilliant player that never lost, didn't get very far, had to buy gems from the store or work around the problem.

    If i recall correctly this meant that to retain your streak (with it's lovely up to 10x multiplyer) could cost up to 3,000 gems to retain your streak.

    Thereafter 250 gems per loss.

    I suspect the same zombie nibbled brainz are behind this.

    Revised table with the correct 25 gems per seed package with the old system as pointed out by @PowerToss .

    So it seems that if we are buying 11x, then it is even, from then on the increase is quite steep.

    @eieio_31310This is just too ridiculous,they really need to increase the amount of gems in daily quests and Arena leagues if they want to do it..

    @HenryThePear  It is ridiculous, I've heard of players who got m200 level plants by buying seeds for gems, probably from the resources doubling bug.

    @Saeed_blover 

    I don't like the new system, if a plant is good i would like to upgrade it.

    I liked explode 0 vine and got all the seeds from arena to take it to level 4 then spent over 2,000 gems to take him to level 7  (in 3 profiles).

  • @Saeed_blover For me the old system would have been better because I am going to buy Shadow Peashooter packets to unlock him . So I will need to spend a lot for that

    @Abhay_ZombieWolF  Shadow peashooter seeds might be available through pinata party, penny's pursuit and streak rewards and it usually takes 250 seeds just to unlock.

    LOL,  glad you have found a good use of the quarantine time.   👿

  • @eieio_31310 I mean what else can I do eh... xDDD I am doing my best to avoid her at all costs....but i mean poor her...we are just doing our job- this is definitely an occupational hazard/ risk for sure...

    Occupational hazard indeed and that is why NHS staffs being seen and praised as brave front line workers against the virus.

    I hope you and your flatmates are all ok as your services are still greatly in demand.

  • @eieio_31310 She is getting better....I am waiting for my swab results to come back but regardless of my results I am told, I will have to self isolate anyway for 14 days. So just being careful and trying not to catch anything... xD But probably wouldn't matter anyway, because working will increase my exposure risk... :/
  • @HenryThePear It will be a good time (if i don't catch it) 😉 I am just going to catch up on my sleep...so tired after my night shifts... last week, i worked 5 nights..basically 60+ hours... the most soul destroying week ever....

  • @eieio_31310 It is revenge time xDDD i am slightly behind arena due to my working hours so now i will be able to finally catch up and make it to 1000 crowns by the end of season 😛 not to mention, making good use of 'lagniappe' for witch hazel and shadow pea 😉
