True cost of 10-gem seed packages for new plants

Ever wonder how much is the true cost (in gems) of buying seed packages for the new plant from the new shop? 

With the 8.4.x update, it has been confirmed the new system for the 10-gems seed packages for the new plant will be increased by 3 gem on every purchase.

At first the sound of 3 gem increase per purchase seems low but do not be fooled as this soon adds up.

For example, with the old system. when you buy the 10-gems seed packages from the shop 10 times, it costs (10x10) 100 gems, with the now shop introduce on 8.4.x, buying 10 times seed packages means you will need to spend more than twice as you would have before, yes you have not read it wrong, more than twice, because the total cost of gems required to buy 10x is 235 gems!.  

This gets worse if you need to buy more than 10x as the cost escalate in an alarming rate, the next 10 purchases would cost an additional 435 gems and if you are going to buy the maximum allowed quantity of 50x, the total cost is an eye watering 4175 gems!

I attach an image of the table I made for reference, so if you do need to buy, you can at least at a glance and know how many gems you need to save for your new plant.

EDIT:  please check revised table on post #5 for correct comparison between the old and new system.

  • 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.
