Dragon Gems serve as Merge Dragons' premium currency, crucial for obtaining exclusive items, unlocking rewards, and speeding up progress. Whether expanding your dragon collection, acquiring rare objects, or optimizing strategies, mastering gem management enhances your gaming experience.
Earning Dragon Gems Strategically
Dragon Stars - The Primary Gem Source
These special purple stars represent the most reliable free method for obtaining gems:
- Obtained by completing levels and event challenges
- Occasionally spawn when merging high-tier objects
- Featured as rare event rewards
Pro Tip: Merge five Dragon Stars in camp to create Magnificent Dragon Stars, which yield significantly more gems than individual ones.
