Clash of Clans

Clash of Clans, just in case you have no idea what is it and what it’s about, is a strategic mobile game. This is where you need to use strategy to get through a number of levels in the game, as opposed to brawls. The phone version of the game is predominantly a single-player type of game.  

The game is available on both iOS and Android phones, hence its popularity among mobile gamers. Initially, though, the game was released for iOS alone, which was in 2012.

A year later, in 2013, the Android version of the game was released. You can download it from the Google Play Store.

When you play the game, you have difficulties in terms of challenges that you have to accomplish; for example, you have barbarians to deal with. You then have fire wielding wizards to deal with, too. The mythical factors are what make the game interesting and addictive.

How to Get Gems

There are a number of ways by which you can get gems in this game, and luckily, most are free. All you have to do is manage some simple tasks

You can, however, choose to buy the gems at the in-game store if these methods don't entice you.

1. Start Out Gems

The first experience of gems that you get with this game is when you are starting out. Here, you get up to 500 gems as part of your signing up bonus. 

The challenge, however, is that you have to spend 250 gems on the tutorial of the game. You might also have to spend 8 of these beginner gems if you rush the buildings and troops.

2. Removing Obstacles

The second way that you get gems in this game is by removing obstacles in your village. The obstacles include stones and plants. 

When you remove the obstacles, you’re likely to earn anywhere from 1-6 gems, depending on a number of factors.

3. Fight Other Players

For you to win gems here, you have to be online, and you have to play against other players in multiplayer battles. You have to ensure that you come out on top of these battles most of the time for you to get the most rewards.

For example, when you win trophies, you get to convert those winnings to gems. For example, 3,200 trophies awards you with 2,000 Gems, which could be up to 3,715 gems in total if you count all the trophies possible.

Additionally, when you defend your village against attackers, you also get to win some rewards. For every 1,000 attackers that you manage to defend your village against, you win 100 gems.

When you defend your allies against attackers, this is done by providing your allies with reinforcements. When you donate 25,000 reinforcements, you earn 250 gems.

4. Be in the Top Clans

An additional way that you can earn more gems is by performing well and being in some of the top-rated clans. If you're in the Top 20 players of the Top 3 Clans, you're at an advantage. 

The Top 3 Clans will get at the end of 2 weeks an additional 50,000 gems (if you're in 1st), 30,000 gems (if you're in 2nd), and 15,000 gems (if you're in 3rd).

How to Put the Gems to Use

Collecting the gems is quite an uphill task, but you also need to know how to use the gems in the game. Or else, why have the gems in the first place? 

The first thing that you can use the gems for is when you start up; 250 gems go to the tutorials.

Since you can’t avoid the tutorial, you have to spend the 250 gems. To move past the tutorials, you also have to use gems. 

Throughout the game, the gems are crucial to your survival, as you'll need them when you have to build a hat when you start. The in-game materials are also bought through the gems, so be sure to stay stocked up on gems when necessary.

Conclusion  

Most of the games that you play online are all about long-term strategy, and that’s why they have rewards such as gems to help you get through. 

With Clash of Clans, here is how you can earn the gems in the game free of cost and how to use them! Try out these methods in gameplay today.
