No, I never use coins. The more invested you are in the resource, the better the ROI (return on investment). Coins are easy but I'm pretty sure if you convert the same amount of coins into food, you're going to get more levels out of them. Food costs the same no matter how you bake it. One bit of food breaks down the same whether you're baking cookies or cakes, but you get significantly more for the time invested & the space needed if you have a limited number of bakeries when you bake cakes. On top of that, the XP bump every time you collect is awesome. Shards, of course, are best because they are a premium, hard to come by, only (really) available on one island resource.

I was leveling to about 45 with food but it didn't seem to be helping a whole lot. It seemed to be messing with how fast the amount of shards it was going to take to level once I changed over to that resource. But that could have just been my perception. I was going to play with it & try to level one time with just food but Wubbin came out & I've been cranking out food in anticipation of that. I'm still not entirely convinced they or the ones coming out later won't eventually be fed based on the fact the ones out now have been coded to be fed (and have likes) even if it can't actually be done at this point. I just don't see why they would drop code into a program that would never be used & I'd rather be over prepared than be caught short. I've learned to follow my gut with this game. So far it hasn't failed me.

I think I should add a signature that says 'Never Stop Baking' because I feel like posting it everywhere - lol. It's like creed number 1 for me in this game. :)
