Or even more than so... you could e.g. aim for 6 gem pits...
For the sake of simplicity, let's assume a year is 360 days...

Day 0

• Build gem pit 1: -20,000 gems
• Gem pit 1 contains 40,000 gems

Day 180

• Excavated +20,000 gems ... build gem pit 2: -20,000 gems
• Gem pit 1 contains 20,000 gems
• Gem pit 2 contains 40,000 gems

Day 270

• Excavated +20,000 gems ... build gem pit 3: -20,000 gems
• Gem pit 1 contains 10,000 gems
• Gem pit 2 contains 30,000 gems
• Gem pit 3 contains 40,000 gems

Day 330

• Excavated +20,000 gems ... build gem pit 4: -20,000 gems
• Gem pit 1 contains 3,333 gems
• Gem pit 2 contains 23,333 gems
• Gem pit 3 contains 33,333 gems
• Gem pit 4 contains 40,000 gems

Day 360

• Excavated +13,333 gems ... gem pit 1 exhausted
• Gem pit 2 contains 10,000 gems
• Gem pit 3 contains 30,000 gems
• Gem pit 4 contains 36,666 gems

Day 370

• Excavated +20,000 gems ... build gem pit 5: -20,000 gems
• Gem pit 2 contains 7,777 gems
• Gem pit 3 contains 27,777 gems
• Gem pit 4 contains 34,444 gems
• Gem pit 5 contains 40,000 gems

Day 415

• Excavated +20,000 gems ... build gem pit 6: -20,000 gems
• Gem pit 2 contains 2,777 gems
• Gem pit 3 contains 22,777 gems
• Gem pit 4 contains 29,444 gems
• Gem pit 5 contains 35,000 gems
• Gem pit 6 contains 40,000 gems

Day 440

• Excavated +13,888 gems ... gem pit 2 exhausted
• Gem pit 3 contains 20,000 gems
• Gem pit 4 contains 26,666 gems
• Gem pit 5 contains 32,222 gems
• Gem pit 6 contains 37,222 gems

Day 454

• Excavated +20,000 gems ... rebuild gem pit 1: -20,000 gems
• Gem pit 3 contains 18,472 gems
• Gem pit 4 contains 25,138 gems
• Gem pit 5 contains 30,694 gems
• Gem pit 6 contains 35,694 gems
• Gem pit 1 contains 40,000 gems

Day 490

• Excavated +20,000 gems ... rebuild gem pit 2: -20,000 gems
• Gem pit 3 contains 14,472 gems
• Gem pit 4 contains 21,138 gems
• Gem pit 5 contains 26,694 gems
• Gem pit 6 contains 31,694 gems
• Gem pit 1 contains 36,000 gems
• Gem pit 2 contains 40,000 gems

Day 620

• Excavated +86,832 gems ... gem pit 3 exhausted... rebuild gem pit 3: -20,000 gems ... net balance +66,832 gems
• Gem pit 4 contains 6,666 gems
• Gem pit 5 contains 12,222 gems
• Gem pit 6 contains 17,222 gems
• Gem pit 1 contains 21,528 gems
• Gem pit 2 contains 25,528 gems
• Gem pit 3 contains 40,000 gems

After 620 days (less than 21 months) your intitial investment of -20,000 gems would have given you +66,832 gems.
A net gain of +46,832 gems!

From here on you would basically excavate 20,000 gems every month and build a new gem pit for -20,000 gems every 2 months.
A net gain of +10,000 gems per month. :)

You can only purchase a maximum of 5 :).

Oh dear... there goes my plan... lol... :D

In other words, after 454 days (a little more than 15 months) you'd have five gem pits.
After that you'd be excavating 16,666 gems per month and pay 20,000 for a new gem pit every 2.4 months... a net gain of 8,333 per month. :)


EDIT:
However, would that maximum be maximum 5 purchases, or maximum 5 gem pits placed in game at any given time...
Since an exhausted gem pit wouldn't go back to the star menu after it's been exhausted, I assume it's the latter, but can't be sure... :confused:

Just like all items with a buy limit in game, it's the total you can buy.

Does anyone can tell me what is the production time for gem pit on first level?

they are not upgradable, so you do the math yourself, 40k/366/24 = 4.55 gems/h so i would say a 12.30 min cycle

surely it is not worth it if you buy a gem pit and save the gems for a second gem pit - you get nothing from it as you just recycling the gems into pits

Each gem pit costs 20,000 gems and contains 40,000 gems...

Thus, if you invest 20,000 gems in a pit, use all gems excavated to build 4 new pits (costing 80,000 gems),
you'd still end up having 120,000 gems in the end, when all 5 pits have been depleted (after a couple of years).

All sound good as long as you make sure to log in every 24 hours.... good luck :p

Yes, Gem Pit is a Trade Shop item you buy for 20,000 Gems. Once placed, it will dispence gems to your storage at a rate of 40,000 over 1 year = 1 gem every 13.14 mins = 109gems a day, for 1 year.

So you get double your gems back, but paid out very slowly over 1 year. (by which time you could probably work as a paper boy and buy 10x that much to use instantly. lol)
