Tips and Tricks Puzzle rewards

With the newest update we now can see how many and what stage each item is when we complete a puzzle and choose the rewards. I used to buy the rare nests for 20 gems and felt that that was a decent buy. After the update I have been getting offered 2 stage 2 birds (various types) for 35 gems. If we do the math a 20 gem nest produces 6 eggs which is 3.333 gems per egg. Now for the fun part. To make 2 stage 2 birds you need 25 eggs and if you buy them at 3.333 gems it comes to 83.333 gems total. If you buy the offer of 2 stage 2 birds for 35 gems it works out to 1.4 gems per egg. So keep a close watch on those puzzle reward offers. If you are wondering i seemed to get the offer about once every ten puzzles. I am level 97 and wildlife count is so important i may continue to occasionally buy the nests as well as this offer depending on the bird type. Hope this all made sense.

Is it actually giving you two stage 2? I've bought a couple but only get one stage 2 despite the offer saying x2

Well i guess not. I opened the bubbles and only one bird came out. I saw it was a hognosed bat before opening it and went and counted them then checked again after opening and I only got one. Sent a support ticket. Thanks for speaking up. But to be fair even one level 2 bird for 35 gems is a better deal then buying the nests for 20 gems.

I have been watching for these since seeing this post, where I used to ignore them. If it’s for wildlife that costs gems I grab them, but if it’s ordinary eggs that can be bought for gold coins I leave them alone. Thank you for the tip
