How to Earn Gems in Clash of Clans

Remove obstacles

Search for plants and rocks in your village. These are obstacles that need to be removed in order to build a certain structure at the respective location. There will be about 40 obstacles around your village at the beginning of the game.

Removing rocks costs you gold, while removing plants costs elixir.

Proceed to remove obstacles. When you remove an obstacle, you will receive from 0 to 6 gems. The number of gems that can be obtained is determined according to the rules below and will repeat after the last number. This rule never changes and always repeats in the following order:

6, 0, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2, 0, 0, 5, 1, 0, 3, 4, 0, 0, 5, 0, 1, 0

Leave space for plants to regrow. Plants will grow every 8 hours so you can continue to eliminate them and earn more gems. However, plants will no longer appear if all the spaces in the village are sealed. Additionally, plants must be at least one space away from other things, meaning the 8 spaces around the plant must also be empty.

The rocks don't reappear, but the plants do.

Achieve achievements. You will gain an achievement (Achievement) when removing obstacles from your village. After eliminating 5 obstacles, you will earn 5 gems. When you remove 50 obstacles, you will get 10 gems. When you remove 500 obstacles, you will earn 20 gems.

Complete achievements

Check out the list of available achievements. The Clash of Clans game allows you to earn achievements by completing certain in-game goals, such as upgrading buildings, winning matches, and collecting gold. Achieving these achievements helps you earn many rewards, including gems. The more difficult the achievement, the more gems you will get.

When you open the achievements screen (Achievements), you will see your current progress compared to available achievements. You should prioritize your time to achieve those achievements as quickly as possible.

Each achievement includes 3 levels and each level up brings more rewards.

After achieving all available achievements, you can earn up to 8,637 gems.

Compete with other players. You can get the most valuable achievements by competing against other players. Completing these achievements will net you thousands of gems. Some highly valuable achievements include:

Sweet Victory! - You can achieve this achievement by winning trophies (Trophy) in Multiplayer matches. If you have 1,250 loot, you will get 450 gems.

Unbreakable - This achievement requires you to successfully defend against attackers. If you can resist 1,000 attacks, you will earn 100 gems.

Friend in Need - You can get this achievement by sending reinforcements to your allies. After sending 25,000 soldiers like this, you will get 250 gems.

League All-Star - This achievement requires you to progress in the Clash of Clans guild. Joining the crystal guild (Crystal League) helps you get 250 gems, reaching the master level (Master League) helps you earn 1,000 gems, and when you become a champion (Champion), you will earn 2,000 gems.

Firefighter - You can get this achievement by destroying Inferno Towers. Destroying 5,000 towers earns you 1,000 gems.

War Hero - This achievement requires you to win many stars for your clan in battles. After earning 1,000 stars, you will get 1,000 gems.

Spoils of War - You can earn this achievement by collecting gold from rewards in Clan War. If you earn 100,000,000 gold, you will win 1,000 gems.

Complete less important achievements. There are many types of achievements in the game that are not related to battle but can help you increase your gem count. Although not as generous as the achievements you get in combat, if you want, you can earn this reward by upgrading your base. You will achieve many achievements by removing obstacles, upgrading the Town Hall, stealing gold, unlocking soldiers such as archers and dragons as well as completing become a campaign.

Typically, you can earn up to 20 gems for completing these achievements.

Collect your achievement rewards. After completing an achievement, you will see a Claim Reward button in the list of achievements. After pressing the button, you will be awarded a certain amount of gems for achieving the achievement. You need to get the reward yourself every time you complete an achievement, otherwise your rewards will stay there.

There is no time limit for collecting rewards, but there is no benefit to leaving them alone. Make sure you check the list regularly to see if you've achieved any new achievements and can claim rewards.

Use gems appropriately

Keep the original number of gems. When you start playing the Clash of Clans game, you have 500 gems in your hand. Since you were forced to spend 250 gems in the game tutorial, there are only 250 left. No matter what happens, never use gems to speed up the progress of village construction. You should wait patiently because you will need to use those gems later.

You cannot skip the game instructions to keep 250 gems. However, because you will use those gems to buy a Builder's Hut (builder's house) which plays an important role in the game, it is not necessarily lost in vain.

The game guide will suggest that you use gems to speed up production. This is essentially a trick by the developer to make players have to spend more real money on the game in the future. Ignore these suggestions and you will save valuable gems.

Do not buy resources with gems. The game Clash of Clans allows you to buy other resources in the game with your gems. Don't be foolish to do this. While it may save you some time, remember that you can earn all of these resources by playing the game normally.

Don't fast forward time with gems. You will constantly be reminded that time can be sped up using gems. While this can be an important factor in extremely competitive battles, it is just a waste of gems for most players. If you run out of things to do and are tempted to use time-speeding gems, consider playing another game while you wait.

First, spend all your gems on Builder's Huts. Builder's Huts are the most useful buildings you can buy because they provide more Builders. This helps you build other structures much more quickly. You should focus all your initial gems on building these Builder's Huts. Once you have 5 Builder's Huts, you can start using gems for other purposes.

Use Google Play Rewards (Android only)

Download the Google Opinion Rewards app. If you own an Android device, you can install the Google Opinion Rewards app from the Play Store. This app will occasionally send you marketing surveys, and you'll be rewarded with Google Play Credit for completing these surveys. Next, you can use the free Credits on the Play Store to exchange for gems in the game Clash of Clans. Most surveys usually only require you to spend a few seconds to complete but can help you earn from $0.10 to $1.00.

This is an official application developed by Google, so it is safe to download and use.

The Google Opinion Rewards app is not available on iOS devices.

Sign in to the app with your Google account. If you're not signed in to your device with your Google account, you'll receive a prompt to sign in. You can create a Google account for free.

Enable location features on Android devices. You won't receive many surveys unless location is enabled. This is because many surveys are designed based on locations you have recently visited.

Open Settings on the device and select Location.

Make sure location is turned on at the top of the screen.

Allow location access if asked while opening the Google Opinion Rewards app.

Complete all available surveys. You probably won't see any surveys when you start using the app, but they will gradually appear. You'll see more surveys if you visit businesses regularly and travel a lot. Your answers do not affect the value of the reward you receive.

You will receive a notification on your device when a new survey appears.

Continue answering surveys until you have reached enough Play Store Credits to purchase gems. Although it may take some time, there is a high chance that you will receive an unbelievable number of Play Credits. Once you have the necessary amount to buy gems, go to the Gem Store in the game and buy the appropriate package. Make sure that Google Play is selected as the payment method during the procedure.
