How to Earn Dragon Gems
Earning Dragon Gems requires patience and strategic gameplay. Here are the most effective methods:
Dragon Stars
Dragon Stars are collectible items that yield Dragon Gems upon tapping. They're a reliable source of free gems.
Acquisition Methods:
- Level completion and in-game objectives.
- Event rewards.
- Merging high-level objects.
Optimal Strategy:
Instead of immediately tapping Dragon Stars, merge five at a time in your camp to create a Magnificent Dragon Star, providing significantly more gems per tap. See our Merge Dragons Power Guide for a deeper dive into game mechanics.
Kala's Shop
Kala's Shop periodically offers exclusive gem-purchasable items:
- Dragon Nests: Expand your dragon capacity.
- Premium Chests: Contain valuable items; purchase selectively.
Waking Up Dragons
High-tier dragons sometimes require gems for faster awakening. While patience is usually best, gems can be useful during time-sensitive events.
Avoiding Wasteful Gem Spending
Resist the urge to spend gems on time-skips or instant merges. Focus on long-term investments like Dimensional Jars and Dragon Nests.
