Yes achievements and levels give rubies. Some achievements give 5 rubies once fully aggregated. I don't spend cash. I rarely use the rubies I have other than to grab some spyglasses. I should probably read the offers better because I see things like $9.99 for 200 event keys and if you are on detective level to me that's ten dollars for 8 turns. I've never seen anything that was pennies per turn so I might need to look better. I have saved enough rubies to get 2 tool sets or 1 detectives set (3 of each tool, and 10 of each tool respectively). The problem I have with these bundles of tools is I have tons of lanterns, spyglasses are only 7 rubies for 10 so I'm basically paying for pink bombs and flying time and I rarely need both at the same time. They do flash other tool deals or bundles now and again and I do the math and may use if it works out well for me. If you're like me and not looking to spend money then I would concentrate on tools. You can get tools from collections but for me I can always use more time for puzzles and I like the spyglasses for new rooms since they show where the item was hiding. Spyglasses are also great for when you're oh so close to finishing a puzzle and don't want to waste a flying time. I try to save pink bombs for time running out and on pairs since to me that takes out 6 items. Every one is different. This is only my 3rd event and I did fiinish the last two without spending anything. It's nice when they do pearl challenges during event so you can get keys while doing that. The current mini challenge takes time away from event and doesn't give keys but you can earn SOVs which are lovely. You'll feel your way around. You get a lot of great items early in the game by doing quests also. Eventually they will pay with less desirable rewards but if you are new to the game you should get some good ones for a while. Happy seeking!!!
