Was that different in the past? Did you earn more gems for recipes beyond level 4 back when extra slots cost 24 gems? I've only played BS for close to 2 years now.
I was wondering the same, and I've been playing for three! There was a way to earn gems the non traditional way, but I could never figure it out and the player who discovered it left. His name was fecsuper or something like that. Now THAT guy was legendary, but he played on rs. He's the guy who figured out most earning potential with math by floor layout.

Anyway, I'm sure TL figured it out by now and fixed this beautiful flaw, so no point speculating anymore,
