One more tip: don't buy gems from the store or even when you get the Philosopher's Stone. Wait until you get a pop-up offering 50 gems for $0.99, or your local equivalent. Once you buy some gems for the bargain price, you'll eventually get another offer to buy 100 gems for the same price. Take advantage of that if you need gems. The final offer if you've taken them up on the first two is 150 gems for the same price ($0.99). These are pretty good offers and that should give you enough gems to play until you can start completing collections and getting your tools that way. The 150 gems offer will continue to pop up every once in a while.

I think with G5 being the publisher of SS, the prices are a lot more reasonable.
