The alchemist is fully worth it

Here is a rough version of the math: A fully upgraded alchemist costs 5850 gems. We can round that up to 6000. Thats 4 runes of gold. If you have a gold storages that can fit 30 million gold, and only use a rune when the storage is completely empty, thats 120 million gold for 6000 gems. With a fully upgraded alchemist you can get a little over a million gold every 16 hours (2/3’s of a day). This means that you could get what you got from those runes from the alchemist in 80 days:

120 million : 1 million = 120 120 x 2/3’s = 80 days

Now with the easy gems from the resource potions I would recommend everybody to upgrade this thing to the max👍
