Long term Gem plan


If you feel like you're in the game for the long haul, not in a massive rush, but also no opposed to throwing some money at Blue Byte, a Gem Pit investment can end up being quite profitable for you.

A Gem Pit costs 20,000 gems, and contains 40,000 gems that will be extracted over the course of a year (around 108 per day). This may sound like it will take forever to recover your costs, but it's probably not as bad as you might think.
If purchased during one of the not all that uncommon double gem sales, you can get yourself 22,000 gems for 50 euro.

Note: For the purpose of this post, I'm going to assume you do this, intend on not spending gems on anything else, and log on every day getting your weekly bonus.

You buy your first pit, it has 40,000 gems, and you have 2,000 gems left over from your 22,000 purchase.
Day 1, you have 1 pit pulling out 108 gems per day, and will be getting +100 gems per week for your weekly bonus, so you will be getting ~856 per week.

Week 21, You have reached 20,000 gems, and buy a second pit. Your pit has drained to ~24,124.
You are now pulling 216 gems per day, and will be getting your +100 gems per week for the weekly bonus.

During week 35 (14.5 weeks passing). You reach 20,000 gems again, and buy pit number three. Pit 1 has drained to ~14,750 gems, and Pit 2 is down to ~30,626.
You are now pulling 324 gems per day, and getting the +100 gems for the weekly bonus.

Week 44 (8.5 weeks passing). You reach 20,000 gems again, and buy pit number four. Pit 1 has drained to ~8,365 gems, Pit 2 is down to 24,241, and Pit 3 is down to 33,615.
You are now pulling 432 gems per day, and getting the +100 gems for the weekly bonus.

Week 50 (6.5 weeks passing). You reach 20,000 gems again, and buy pit number five. Pit 1 has drained to ~3,526 gems, Pit 2 is down to 19,402, Pit 3 is down to 28,776 and Pit 4 is down to 35,161.

Week 55 (5 weeks passing). You reach 20,000 gems again, and buy pit number six. Pit 1 runs out just towards the end of this run, Pit 2 is down to 15506, Pit 3 is down to 24,880, Pit 4 is down to 31,265 and Pit 5 is down to 36,104.


And you can keep this up until pit 10 if you'd like, or take a break and buy a endless copper mine or something else.

There's also other incidental things I haven't take into account here (and couldn't really to keep the advice general) that will provide extra gems.
> Sometimes BlueByte give out small amounts of gems as general presents or to apologise for issues.
> Some quests end with Gem rewards
> Every level-up from 17 onwards provides some gems
> On the official forums, BlueByte occasionally hold competitions with Gems as prizes for the winners.
