How to Get Free Gems in Merge Dragons

Gems are the main premium currency in Merge Dragons. You'll need them for a wide range of things, from the shop to waking up your Dragons, and they don't come cheap (50 Gems cost around $1.00 depending on the deal).

There are several ways to earn Gems in-game, which may be enough for moderate players. To get a large amount quickly, the gift card method is more reliable, and it works for other games too, including free Dice Rolls in Monopoly Go.

Get Free Gift Cards to Spend in Merge Dragons

The fastest way to buy a large amount of Gems is by earning Google Play or Apple gift cards on Freecash, then spending them in Merge Dragons. This lets you add thousands of Gems at once without paying out of pocket.

Freecash is a platform where you earn gift cards by completing simple tasks on your phone, including testing new mobile games. Withdraw your balance as a gift card and spend it on Gems in Merge Dragons.

Getting started on Freecash takes under a minute:

1. Log in with Google or Facebook.
2. Pick a game to test and tap the green button in the pop-up to install it.
3. Complete the tasks, which usually involve reaching a certain level.
4. Once you hit $20.00, withdraw to a Google Play gift card or Apple gift card.
5. Use the gift card to buy Gems in Merge Dragons.

Rated 4.6 on Trustpilot from over 301518 reviews, Freecash has a track record you can verify before signing up.

For smaller amounts of Gems, in-game farming methods can cover the basics.

Log In Daily to Collect Rewards

Daily Rewards don't hand out Gems directly, but logging in consistently lets you unlock Purple Dragon Stars. Merge enough of them and you'll convert them into Gems.

You don't need to play for a set amount of time to claim a Daily Reward. A simple login is enough.

Complete Quests to Find Dragon Stars

Quests occasionally drop Purple Dragon Stars, which merge into Gems. They're rare and tied to quest progression, but they add up as a secondary source over time.

Connect a Facebook or Apple Account for Free Gems

Tap the cloud save icon in the bottom-left corner to bring up the account connection menu. Linking a Facebook or Apple account awards 25 Gems as a one-time bonus.

25 Gems won't stretch far, but the process takes seconds and requires no gameplay at all.

Wait for a Deal Before Buying Gems

For players who do spend money on Gems, the standard price is rarely the best option. Merge Dragons runs in-app promotions regularly, so waiting a day or two almost always surfaces a better deal.

The 30-Day Dragon Gem Payout bundle offers strong value and is worth considering as a first purchase.
