Free Gems

Media

The quickest and easiest way to earn up to 60 gems is by clicking on lavaflame2's Youtube, Discord, and Twitter links on the "Buy Gems" page.

Raids

Once you've unlocked the second Contract shop, it's possible to buy +2% chance per level (up to 20%) for a gem to drop in any Raid encounter. With 12 tickets earned daily, this averages out to 2.4 gems per day, or 4.8 gems with a maxed out Counterfeit Tickets AP perk.

Events

Seasonal events award some amount of Gems after spending event currency gained by farming monsters. The Lunar and Christmas event has a chance to earn both small and large sums of gems, whereas the Spooktober and Thxgiving events had stores that sold small guaranteed amounts of gems.

Gem Portal

The Gem Portal is a special Rift in Summoning that can be activated once for 500 Gems. While not exactly "free", the Gem Portal acts as an investment which returns a net gain of 1,000 Gems.

Pachinko Arcade

One can earn free Gems through the Arcade rewards, earning small amounts of Gems. If one's lucky to get the Gem Jackpot from the Arcade, they get 2000 gems.

Hoop Challenge

Through the Hoop Challenge Secret recently added to the game, a person can earn Gems according to their performance up to a maximum of 50 per day.

Cards

Card packs are opened from the "Packs" button on the Cards screen.
