I spent about 1000 gems or so (800 from what I had when the update came out and 200 earned) on PS pinatas to get them maxed (still waiting for a PS Pinata to give me at least 2 more Threepeater seed packets to fully have all PS plants maxed at this time). But anyway, if you watch gem ads each day, you'd get to 200 in 2 weeks. To get 1000 gems, that's 10 weeks. 10 weeks times 11 worlds... and yeah... 121 weeks. Aka 2 years and around 3 1/2 months. Obviously, this doesn't take into account RNG and excess gems from playing levels, as well as Travel Log pinatas.

I really hate getting Lost City or other world pinatas that have all plants needing 100 seed packets after level 2. And this is only ONE THIRD of leveling. Not to mention the later two thirds are more grindy This is why I'm not grinding but trying to beat levels... Like someone said, AE day 34 is impossible without boosts/power ups/leveled up grave buster explosive abilities. I had to use some power ups for that level and I ran out of sun...

Any tips for day 35? (zombot 2.0) BTW I'm not using leveled up plants. his Plant Food effect deals huge chunks of damage (most likely because the damage chains as both mini-Parsnips hit it multiple times), and even 2-3 Plant Food can take out an entire phase. You don't even need it leveled up. actually Parsnip PFE is so strong that even at LVL1 it can take out a garg (not sure about JM garg) with just 2 PF in opposed to Guacodile which can barely take a garg to half health using 4 PF
