Actually 100 gold can buy you less than 7 to 10 evolution of any Super Rare of them. If we need 9 epic dragons to release Glacius, we would need more than 900 gold just to take them from 7 to 10. 1000 gold won't get you all the food needed. But I found the best solution is, indeed, combining both methods of gathering food, both harvesting and buying with gold.
