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.

For Android users, the same opportunities are available with the additional option to rate the game for an extra 20 gems.

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 maxxed out Counterfeit Tickets AP perk.

Events

Seasonal events award some amount of Gems after spending event currency gained from farming monsters. The Christmas event has a chance to earn 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 an 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.
