The problem is that Zynga also games the drop rate and it goes down after 50+ completions ... so even if you start off well, and estimate that your current pace is enough, later you'll find that its getting much harder to farm gems while you are also ending up on target lists way too often (like every few mins).

Last SG I tried to see how far I'd get with a lowbie alt - made a bunch of other mistakes too, but the 'highlight' of my adventure was taking 2hrs+ each to complete a couple of sets (iirc #52 & #53) ... I'd get a 5th gem, then lose it before I can attack for 6th one. Eventually just got frustrated and gave up on even getting Western Clock, just lost interest in trying at all.
