Earning Dragon Gems
Earning Dragon Gems requires patience and strategic play. Here are the most effective methods:
Dragon Stars
Dragon Stars are collectible items that yield Dragon Gems upon tapping. They’re a reliable, free gem source.
Acquisition Methods:
- Level completion and in-game objectives.
- Event rewards.
- Merging high-level objects.
Optimal Strategy:
Instead of immediate tapping, merge five Dragon Stars to create a Magnificent Dragon Star, yielding significantly more gems. See our Merge Dragons Power Guide for a deeper dive into in-game mechanics.

Kala's Shop
Kala's Shop periodically offers gem-purchasable items:
- Dragon Nests: Expand your dragon camp.
- Premium Chests: Contain valuable items; purchase selectively.
Wise Gem Spending
Resist the urge to spend gems on time-skipping or instant merges. Prioritize long-term benefits:
- Dimensional Jars
- Dragon Nests
- Rare items from Kala's Shop
