Acquiring Gems

Updated: Oct 10, 2022



1. Daily Shrine/Temple Donations. This seems like a waste of gems at first, but it will get you more gems in the long run. The Shrine/Temple is almost always at the center of the city and looks like a statue or a monument of some kind. Offer a tribute daily at the Shrine. You can use 25 gems to buy a tribute every day. Fill up the tribute meter to unlock enhanced gifts. It takes 7 tributes in one week to unlock enhanced gifts for the following week. The server gives you 100+ gems per day as part of hourly gifts so making offerings actually doesn't cost you anything. Enhanced Daily Rewards also give you a 24 hour Bubble instead of an 8 hour Bubble and 2000+ gems each week, so it is worth doing.

2. Complete the Daily Monarch Event (though Kill Event, known as KE, may be one of the events that you just want to avoid if you are not skilled at it. Unfortunately, KE lasts a couple of days each week, so use gems wisely and make sure you have enough to get you through KE each week). There are 4 events that will give you an average of 500 gems a day (the higher your Keep level the more gems you get for completing Monarch Events.


3. Mining Gems. On the World Map you will find Gem Mines all around. You can mine them for gems every day. BEWARE!!! Although you can mine them every day, any time you put troops on a Gem Mine to mine your troops are exposed to attack even if you have a Bubble up on your city. During KE and Server versus Server (known as SVS or Server War), gem mining is particularly hazardous. Although most servers have rules against attacking people on gem mines during the week, those rules are thrown out during KE and SVS, especially SVS. If you put your troops on Gem Mines during these two events in particular, you will likely get attacked and they will either get killed, captured or wounded.

4. Crack Crazy Eggs. When participating in Alliance Wars, killing monsters, farming, etc., if a Special Event is going on, you can earn Hammers. Then you can go into the Special Events Menu and select Crazy Eggs and then select one of the Crazy Eggs you want to hatch. The 3 Hammer and 12 Hammer Eggs usually (but not always) drop gems. The 3 Hammer usually drops 200 gems at a time and the 12 Hammer usually drops 1,000 gems at a time.

5. Compete in the Undead Invasion. Your individual and alliance bonus rewards will give you another 1,000+ gems on average depending on how well you do and how well your alliance does. Some alliances do not like to do Undead Invasion, however, because the healing costs outweigh the amount of gems you get. Ask your alliance leaders (Rank 4 or Rank 5 on the Alliance Members list, known as R4s and R5) and see if they would be willing to participate in it if you are interested.

6. The World Boss. He shows up once a week on the weekend. When he shows up, attack him 5 times. The better you do against him the more gems and gold you earn. He doesn't kill your troops, but he does wound them, so the only down side is that you have to spend resources to heal your troops. You can actually defeat the World Boss, but it usually requires an Alliance War with a lot of higher level alliance members putting everything they have into the rally to do this. Attacking the World Boss, however, is usually just something you do to get gems and gold. You can locate the World Boss on the World Map pretty easily. He is the unique, red glowing marker that pops up. Tip: The game designers updated the World Boss at some point so that if you are not that tough you can just send 1 troop each time you attack, suffer only one wounded troop, and you still receive 50,000 gold and 200 gems each time. You have to hit the World Boss pretty hard to get more than that, so most players under Keep 25 should just send 1 troop and a General for each attack. Note: At the end of the weekend, the World Boss Event ends. Everyone in the Alliance is then awarded additional gems based on how well the Alliance did as a whole against the World Boss. This is one benefit to hitting the World Boss with everything you've got, especially if you have higher level troops.


7. Daily Login Rewards. Often during Special Events, the game awards you with items that may drop gems, so make sure you at least log in once every day to collect your Daily Login Rewards.

8. Battles. The Battle of Gaugamela (known as BOG) and Battle of Constantinople (known as BOC) are two of the biggest gem-rewarding events you can play. Especially BOC rewards you 4 boxes of gem items even if you lose and 8 or more if you win! Then, on top of that, you win tokens and such that you can spend in the Battlefield Store and purchase even more gems from there. I've acquired over 30,000 gems at one time from winning in BOC before! In order to play these battles, your alliance must be Ranked in the Top 10 alliances on the server based on Power Level.


9. Wheel of Fortune. Finally, when all else fails, spin the Wheel of Fortune in the Tavern. You might just get lucky and win some gems there. The Wheel of Fortune is 100% luck, so don't count on it too much.


11. Barbarian Invasion. By attacking barbarian castles you can earn rewards for reaching certain scores, gems will be some of the rewards.

10. Buying Gems. Okay...so I said, "Finally" with the Wheel of Fortune, but in truth there is one more way to get gems. You can spend real money to buy packages that have gems in them. Special Events usually have discounted prices for these. Pretty much tap on anything flashy and glowing on your main screen and you'll probably pull up one of these offers. Either that or go to the Gem store and right away it'll show you all the offers on packages to buy gems.
