Buy Water Tower or Wait to Mine Gold?

JenabeJenabe Posts: 5
I am looking for some advice from experienced farmers. I am not spending any real money on gold, only collecting it through the game and I have finally reached 1300 so I can purchase the water tower. I am curious if I should buy the water tower right away or if I should wait to reach 2000 gold and then mine it to double what I have.

Anyone who has any thoughts on this, I appreciate your advice!

    The water tower is one of the best gold buys in the game, if not the best. Don't hesitate to get one as soon as you can. It made all the difference in the world when I was a struggling farmer ~

    Agree with djgreeneyes, although I never bought a watertower on one of my farms. I managed very well without it (thx to a huge amount of patience), but I know from my coop-members that it is a very good investment!

    BUT: since you do not want to buy gold, I do believe it would be best if you go for the mine first. Just to build up a reserve stash of gold. And then - asap: the watertower!

    The water is probably the best purchase with gold you can make

    But if you collect the next 700 gold so you have 2000, your gold mine will turn it into 4000 gold. Spend 1300 in the tower and you will still have 2700 gold.

    So buy now and have a water tower
    Or wait and have a water tower and 2700 gold

    Your choice :) but I know what I would choose

    If you decide to first use your gold mining licence, you probably still have the task Goldseeker?
    Then you will receive 300 gold extra. If you want to play it save, keep the 300 gold in the task, so you can't lose it by accident.

    And.. if you have a lot of patience:
    Mine for gold when it is Prime Spending (the blue shoppingbag). Then you will receive a free gift. The best you can get is 5 violet seeds. Make sure to click the gift-icon in the Prime Spending to receive it!

    If you actually have a gold licence on hand then mine it is my suggestion. If, however, you don't have a licence yet then water tower first.

    Go foe water tower, gold mine will not have long term effects like it.

    Mirja3, I have the gold mining license I received but I never got a goldseeker task, or did I lose it in someway? How would I know?

    Have you used the mine before?

    If you buy a water tower, you will get its benefits faster, but it will be a long time before you will get enough gold to use the mine.

    If you wait to use the mine, you will be able to get a Tower in 48 hours after that (Plus more gold), but you lose the benefits of the tower until then.

    I'd do the mine.

    When you used the gold mining license in the mine, as soon as you received your gold afterwards - the Goldseeker task will pop up in your left hand tasks. But this will only happen once, by using the mine for the first time (for gold).

    - If I remebered the announcements right the Goldseeker task will pop up if you have more than 3000 gold on your acount and a gold mining licence.

    - And dont forget about Omar: one of his deal is gold mining licence for 1500 gold (so it means 500 gold extra). This is a fastest way to earn gold for non gold users.

    Having said that, I think that it better to wait and use a gold mining licence first.

    Thank you....Jiesta and aaabbb1 for the info I thought I lost the task. I'm not ready to use the mining license right now. I'm still collecting gold as I level up, can't have too much free gold......can we?
