I think your question addresses the concept of opportunity cost. Do you plan to expand your land or get more diamonds?Quote:

BTW, one of my goals is expansion, expansion, and expansion so I have all available pets, but the opportunity cost is having an incomplete fishing boat. It's OK because I don't enjoy virtual fishing. :)
I have to feed my donkey many times before I get a tool, but it eats more than other pets, about every hour or two.
Lynn's post is a good short answer.

Personally I am getting ALL pets first; then worrying about fishing book.
I'm not all that concerned about any of the things you mentioned. All I want to know is why this donkey is any different than the other donkeys, and I'm guessing the answer is - he's no different. So it seems foolish to buy him when I already have two donkeys. And if I want more I will buy two more of the other kind.
Difference is if you don't buy them, you can only have a maximum of 4 Donkeys; not 6.Quote:

Careful. Don't give them any ideas. They might decide to change carrots to CARATS.Quote:

First, check the Anatolian donkey on other farms to c if you'd want it. That way, you won't regret it later, after purchasing.
Playing Devil's Advocate to some of the comments here (yes I know it's not answering the op's question anymore after it was clarified) but expansion materials are easily found or traded. So buying a donkey just to get materials is to me a non valid reason.
Fishing gives you diamonds that you can use for other things, e.g. hiring Tom.
It also seemed to me that gold vouchers are far more common at certain levels. Mostly right after you become able to use them for certain pets. I used my gold vouchers to buy the donkeys when I could. In hindsight I wish I'd have fished more with them because it seemed like when I needed gold vouchers to fish, they were rarer than hen's teeth. Obviously if a complete fish book is something you don't care about, it's not important.
The Anatolian donkey gives you 35 experience points when you wake him/her up. The other two give 25 pts (Andalusian I think) and 30 pts (Provence if I have it correct). Is 5 more experience points worth 20 gold vouchers to you? I have one of each just because I like variety. In time you won't have anything left to spend vouchers on. You can always save more gold vouchers later.
Noticed this with the above post.Quote:

Why? Because more pet's = more bonus item drops for the rest of your farming days. It's not a one off deal, it's something you can benefit from every 6 hours. Depending on how often you play that's 1 to 3-4 times a day.
I consider the benefit here much the same as spending Diamonds on additional machine slots.
Fishing book however, it's a small, one off Diamond benefit.
Economically speaking, I find pets far more important.
Pets also give XPs for levelling up if no expansion items are given.Quote:

I have all the pets - love the pets, the XP & tool drops.
Oh but I DO care, SmallChange. Thanks to all for the insight. Interesting to see the thread spin off in other donkey-related areas.Quote:

It's good that AndyApple responded, if a little late in the day!
As that has necro'd a thread on which the last post was over a year ago, I'm going to close this thread now.
