Is it more cost-effective to use gems to purchase buildings or to purchase building bucks for My City?
CW might sell a lot more Building Bucks if there was more incentive to buy them. Gems get a bonus when bought and have multiple uses. Building Bucks are for…buildings. Offer up a plan where you can get a bonus like gems then people might buy both Bucks AND Gems. Maybe….
Just buy gems, BB’s are just a bonus lol.

1 gem = 25000 building blocks.
There is no reason to buy building blocks unless you are gifting them.
So you can purchase a Tier 6 building with 50 gems or 1250000 building blocks or any combination of the two.
I find it easiest to just think of cost of buildings in terms of gems.

Love the breakdown on your spreadsheet. Thank you!
For me, the only Building Bucks I use are the ones I get from the rewards or winning on SOR. Other than that, I use my gems almost exclusively for my city.
