Talk:Giant Plant Habitat/@comment-96.241.42.104-20130513161001

this has to be the single best use for gems, after the epic breeding island, upgrading the EBI/cave, and upgrading the nursery. plant dragons are suddenly worthwhile again. and making it cost gems is far more balanced than upgrading shrines with gems, which i thought removed one of the few real challenges in dragonvale.

for the curious, filling this habitat with 5 level 20 plant dragons earns nearly 1300 dragoncash per minute. the next highest earning habitat is a large sun/moon with 3 eclipse or solstice dragons (948). so for 300 gems, you could put 12 of these habitats on a single island with a plant boost and earn over 15,000 dc per minute. the downside is that they fill up in less than 40 minutes.
