I don't feel it's easy to earn gems until you reach higher levels. I do recommend getting the stadium as soon as possible and always competing. I have better luck with dragons that would go in the habitat displayed. As for the race track, you have to use the dragons that can place for you. I've had success with Forge for Blast Furnace, Steel for Dramora, Sonic for Electric Skies, Seaweed or Swamp for Marshlands, Snow for Rime or Reason, Rainbow (although the gems and Gold work, too) for Shimmering Faultlines, and Moss and Tree for Ulster Meadows. I hate it when Cherry Road comes up because I don't have Paper or Sakura. I will never be able to turn the wheel. Also, please note that it costs 50,000 Dragoncash to compete in each race.

I had fifteen "friends" and only three ever gave me gems. In the beginning, I used them to collect money from their party hats. Later, when I didn't need money as much, I clicked on each name, scrolled down to the bottom of their Game Center data and removed them.

At level 26, I have way too much money and food. Not enough gems.
