Free Gems can be obtained by friends gifting them to you. An infinite amount of Gems can be received daily (assuming you have an infinite amount of friends willing to gift) but only 3 Gems a day can be sent to people on a player's friends list. See the Strategies page for additional information on gifting Gems.

The Dragonsai Gifting Tree can be purchased for 100 and will allow the player to give away 3 additional Gems per day.

Free Gems can also be obtained by winning in the Colosseum. A silver trophy is worth 2 and a gold trophy is worth 5. A bronze trophy does not reward you any.

Gems can also be obtained by winning races at the Dragon Track, though it is very rare.

Gems can also be gained by Gemstone Dragons in the Gemstone Island.
