So I just got 10000 Waru... is that alot? I know you can get gems, but what's the usual amount of Waru you get from the daily box? Can easily afford The Lumiere (as if I'm really getting it now... lvl 30!), but I'm aiming for the 19x19 house, which I should be able to get by this evening. The achievement log for getting the homestead measures based on your farm area (now it's 15x15 = 225 [unit area], completion is 17x17 = 289, Manor is 19x19 = 361). Even here you can see that expanding is extremely worth it. Using only 2x2 buildings, you can get 50 buildings on a 15x15 farm (there will be dead space unless you optimise with 3x3 buildings), while 17x17 gets you an extra 8x2-1 = 15 buildings, and 19x19 gets you yet an additional 9x2-1 = 17 buildings.



After my exams, I'll spend half a day to crunch out the numbers for all the shops.

Captain Obvious: Gems >>>> Waru. But the secret shop does have very decent stuff for the Waru cost.

The box usually gives out 2k or 5k waru.

FYI, someone wrote upthread that you must buy the 20k house upgrade before you can buy the 50k one.

Also, I'm sure you know there are (non-gem) buildings you can buy at your level, that generate waru twice as fast as the red mushroom manor. They take a little longer to pay for themselves, but considering they never expire, I believe they're a good investment.
