Not sure if I should be outraged at how ridiculous that amount is for a browser game and the amount of games you could buy on steam with that amount, or if I should be happy it's not as much as regular mobile/browser games allow players to dump into their games to get the feeling they're winning :D

you can get gems in quests.
You don't need all mythics.
Idle games are about patience

You could buy $700 worth of icecream at the grocery store too.
In neither instance is anyone a) making you b) suggesting it's a good idea c) providing no options for a lesser purchase.

unironically racing to "finish" an idle, is nuerotic

how many gems can you get from quests? 200 when starting the game then 5 per day? Mythics can only be purchased with gems, and lower levels are useless unlike level 6 which provive massive bonuses. All 10 pets seem to give really good bonuses.
The argument that eventually everyone can get these is interesting. Total cost for them is 6000 gems, we get 200 when starting out and 5 per day IF you do the quest number 3. It would take a measly 16 years for a free to play player to get the current 10 pets to have the QoL of a P2W :D

You can refreash the quests multiple times per day with the pretige bonus. 3 or 4 times, i never count them corretly. (15~20 gems per day)
So its a few less years then your math.
But on the other hand, there will be new pets soon.

It takes a ton of time everyday if you want to prestige 3-4 times a day :o
The dude should just give like 50gems for logging in every, it would give more incentive to new players and existent players to continue playing for longer, and every few months just make more pets or whatever for the whales to fix on
This would be especially relevant if there's going to be interaction between players in the future like pvp or guilds or others

I know the gems for the regular pets stays the same, but you get more shards if you have more to start with (half of current cap goal)
My current cap for Dog is 50, so the next cap unlocks at 86, so I get 43 shards for 50 gems.
I haven't seen the one mythic I have repeat again, so I don't know if a similar rule holds. For a mythic pet it's double the current cap for 200 gems. Your math is assuming it stays at 20 shards per 200 gems.
If it stays similar to normal pets, you first purchase would get you 20 shards for 200 gems, then 60 for 200, then 300, then once more to finish off the pet -- or 800 gems per pet
-- but, if you get the 400 gems / 40 shards, you can 'skip' more levels. 40 gets you to lvl 3, 280 to level 5 - which is probably close enough to full level - also 800 gems.
But I'll only know if I see the same one repeat again - or if someone else stops by...

I got the rabbit with the first 200 free gems and haven't seen it again. This might mean the shop is done in a way to always show you all pets of the lower level pets you have.
So unless I get all pets to 1, I might never see the rabbit again. Which would mean that to get any pet to level 6 you'd need all others to be at level 5. So no bee line to dog or cactus 6.
I'm not sure if the premium pets follow the same rules as the regular but it's likely they don't

And then the next guy comes along complaning about how daily logins are a dark pattern to keep you hooked, etc. The dev can only do wrong :/
Oh, btw. I've got 2 mythic pets on lvl 1 and both have been offered again to me in the shop. If he didn't change it in the meantime it's definitely possible to focus on just 1 pet.

You are just complaining for the sake of complaining, and likely haven't even played the game much.
>It takes a ton of time everyday if you want to prestige 3-4 times a day :o
You can REROLL daily missions 3 times per day, for a total of 20 gems per day, WITHOUT prestiging. Rerolling is a separate mechanic from prestiging. And every time you reroll, the third row is guaranteed to be 5 gems. So with your math, that's still under a year of daily playing to "max every pet".
Which leads to the next point - maxing every pet is just a bad idea. Saying all of the pets are "good" is irrelevant. They aren't all equal. Maxing a mythic Owl is a horrible use of gems, for example, when player level is largely worthless. Focusing on dog, hare, and cactus is totally reasonable.

Good luck with that, I unlocked the +1 reroll challenge and didn't get any rerolls at all so I'm stuck with getting 5 gems per day

Don't forget that when you hit mission 25 or 26 you generally get another gem mission for even more gems per day.

If you know what you are doing you can get 100's of gems a day, so yeah this really isn't an issue.

Not through quests, though. Quests cap out at 4 rerolls a day with all prestige there is now, so it's 20 gems daily if you do them all.

After you get to higher level quests (above 25 I think) there is a small chance to get gems as a reward. If you save scum you can continuously reload the game until you get gems as a reward for your next quest. I am guessing that is what lVleIkor was talking about.

Forgot about looking at this, but yeah what Kira said. Think it's above 20 but you can always do 25 to be safe.
