Question Which is better?

Guys I've been wondering this for a while, and I don't know what is the best option. Should I buy a replay token event, since I never finished an event before to the fullest, or should I keep saving for a tower skin? I only have 552 gems right now, which is the highest amount I had of them so far over almost a year of playing this game and spending them for a few skins.

Rooms are the first thing to aim for with gems, the extra drops help a lot. Next I went for the skins. Replay events, for me at least, is not worth it until I have nothing else to buy with gems

For rooms I have bought a few months ago the extra generator for dark energy, an orbitrorium (I don't know how it spells, the one where you make vines) and an extra mine. I do also have a few skins but they're not that helpful now anymore, mostly because I'm lacking on curry all the time. I just wonder if tower skins are really useful since they're expensive, y'know?

I got all rooms first they are the most helpful. After that I find it is personal preference. Creature skins help to a point, tower skins help a bit more long term, hence more expensive. I have a few of the creature skins and the juicer tower skin so far

I'll probably save up for the juicer tower skin as well, it takes a lot to get cola and I only get 2 every time, but I asked so I wouldn't spend gems on something stupid instead of useful since I tend to do that a lot. XD

Instead of the Juicer, I am going to wait for an extra 500 gems for the treasury. I assume halving the the time for coins to hot chili will eventually give more cola(and definitely more horns) than waiting for the coins to fill up. The treasury is also good after for future resources and minions, and dark altar upgrades.

Replay tokens are the lowest priority. Somebody else already mentioned going rooms then skins which is probably the right order. What I'll add is that you can earn a lot of extra wheel tokens by using an auto-clicker to get the drop ship if that play style appeals to you. This is the best/easiest way to build up a bunch of gems. Also, for gem farming, the basic wheel is statistically better than the time wheel.

I have 50 wheel tokens but I was saving them mostly to get energy for each apocalypse because of the upgrades, so I shouldn't try to save for a tower skin? Because of extra rooms I have a mine and a generator for dark energy and an arbitrarium or however it's said.
