Best Crystalarium gem

[Ne_Obliviscaris]

Ok I assumed diamond was the best gem to duplicate from people on Reddit. However, on a video someone said that gold star fire Quartz is actually better gold per day. This true?

Hmmm Gold Star Fire Quartz would need to produce 5 times as often as Diamond to be equal value.

However it does look like it better:

I'm gonna set up two crystalariums to feed a diamond to Grandpa every couple of days so I can force him to repeatedly bear witness to the glory that is Seedy Farm.

If you have the time to manage the fire quartz daily. sure. Or you can just toss a diamond in there and not worry about it for days.

That's the way I'm seeing it, yeah.

i am already fully occupied with hops each day so diamond seems to be the easy solution

[Seelen]

Its better to count the full days, so it would be something like this:

Diamond 5 days - 750 -> 150 per day
Fire Quarts 1 day - 150
Star Shards 4 days - 500 -> 125 per day

I never realize the time differnce on the gems till now, intresting info to think about.

I'd rather just get a few of those machines set up and stick diamonds in it. The time it would save you compared to checking firequarts everyday makes up for the exceedingly little money you make back off fire quarts easily.

If you think about the time you have to invest for that small gain it's just not worth it.
I went with diamonds and it works very well. Have 10 machines giving me a present every fifth day or so. It's a nice small bonus every fifth day for hardly any work at all.

i know how you feel... you need something that can give you the day bill right?
Diamonds is the best choice... but some hows Fire Quartz is nice
since Fire quartz is daily and Diamond is every 5 days...
AmroWazzan: Ehhh dude im not gone wait this much...
yep

(Fire Quartz: Fast - Worthless)
(Diamond: Slow - Worthy )

There... chose what do you want

btw i know that im late 2 years xD
but you dont know who will come from the future lol
