Monster Hunting
With a guild, you can hunt monsters on the map. The maximum gems per hit rise with monster level:
| Monster level | Max gems per hit |
|---|---|
| 1 | 200 |
| 2 | 400 |
| 3 | 600 |
| 4 | 800 |
| 5 | 1,000 |
Hunting is the best repeatable source, so build heroes that can hit higher-level monsters.
Colosseum
The Colosseum unlocks at castle level 10 and pays gems every three hours by rank: 500 at rank 1 down to 10 at rank 5,000. Climbing even a few hundred places raises your daily income noticeably.
Daily Sources
| Source | What it pays |
|---|---|
| Mystery Box | Usually resources, sometimes 50 to 100 gems; after 20 boxes in a day the next one gives 5x |
| VIP chests | Similar to Mystery Boxes; more chests at higher VIP, earned partly by logging in daily |
| Challenge Hero Stages | Gems for clears with restricted heroes (after Skirmish 2: Ridge Attack) |
| Gem Gremlins | 50 to 500 gems |
| Solo event | 100 gems for finishing level 3 (refreshes hourly) |
| Hell event | About 2,100 gems for finishing level 3 (refreshes every three hours) |
Hell events are the biggest single payout on the list, so plan resource use around them.
Buying Gems or Accounts
Gems are sold in the official store. Lords Mobile accounts with high might are sold by third parties too; IGG can recover or ban traded accounts. See the Lords Mobile page and our accounts guide.
