Hi.
Is it worth investing in a Gem Pit? Before I buy one, it would be helpful to know how long it will take to get my money back on 20,000 gems!

Hi.
Is it worth investing in a Gem Pit? Before I buy one, it would be helpful to know how long it will take to get my money back on 20,000 gems!
Cheers.
It takes slightly more than half a year to get the 20k gems back. It then takes another half a year to get the 20k profit.
Okay, thanks. At the speed I play then it is worth it.
Its takes 6 months to get back your 20k gems and 12 months for the pit to deplete :).Quote:

look at gem store.....it cost you 20000 gems to buy it
ok..so we will get 20k+20k of gems? in one year.. so if I now would buy 24k of gems, that is 100 Eur, and build gem pit -20k , I will have 20k+20k+4k = 44k of gems..
for 100 Eur..that sound good..so that I would have 2 gem pits in next year..or every half year new one
That is correct, buy one gem pit and you can get another in 6 months if you don't spend the gems before hand :).Quote:

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 :).Quote:

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.Quote:

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 cycleQuote:

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

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)
yes but scruffy its either a one time investment or keep paying for gems i just built one because we had the 300% gems on so now in 6 months i will buy another then 6 months after that buy another 2 then 6 months after buy the last 1 then i will end up with 100k gems for the price of 20k gems, i dont mind investing and waiting that long
Next time, please read the in-game descriptions. The shop says clearly that gem pits produce 20000 gems over 6 months, 40000 in total. And the maximum number of pits is 5. If someone is now wondering if you can get your well back into your star menu if you demolish it. NO you can't.
