If you think you can do without enough Dragonvale gems while playing the game, then you are very mistaken. In Dragonvale, gems are more valuable than money and as a matter of fact, it is for this reason that they were integrated into this game. The following are some of the major reasons as to why gems are important in the Dragonvale game.
- Speed up the game
Sometimes, without enough money and gems, the game can become slow. Gems play an instrumental role in speeding up the hatching time of eggs, the growth of dragons and even the purchase of other islands for expansion purposes.
- For Transactions
Sometimes, you can use your germs to buy rare dragons and eggs. For instance, a rainbow dragon is worth 2500 gems while a fog dragon is worth 1,000 gems. Germs can also be used to purchase essentials in the market.
- For Tending the Park
Your park is a floating island that has bushes, trees and rocks. Gems are useful for clearing bushes, making nurseries and breeding places in this island. Remember that the larger the bushes, trees and rocks, the more gems they will need so as to remove them.
The following are the ways that you can get Gems:
- Through buying them
You can as well use your coins to buy gems though this is pretty expensive. You can buy them from friends or from the market depending on your preferences.
- Visit Friend’s Parks
You may not earn much from making friends and visiting their parks but what you will earn will be worth much more than nothing. Once every day there will be small party hats on your friend’s island when you visit their park and by touching the party hats, you will be able to get some rewards though the amount of money to be received depends on the size of your park at the time of your visit.
- Through your dragons and eggs
Babysitting your dragons is a way to earn you some cash that you can in turn use to purchase germs. You can also place your dragons on sale so as to earn gems from them especially when they are from the rarer breeds such as the rainbow dragon.
- As gifts from Friends
In Dragonvale, you may send a single gem to three different friends in a day as a gift. However, not many “friends” in this game are that kind to give you their hard earned gems for free! Therefore, as much as a friend may send you gem as a gift, he will expect you to return the same hospitality.
- Through trade with Friends
A friend can add you up on the game and send you gems on the understanding that you will trade something in return. For instance, a friend may agree to send you a hundred germs in exchange for a dragon egg that he needs and you have. Therefore, you have to know that such dealings are a matter of understanding and trust between the two of you. Trade means that you exchange your friend’s gems with something else.
Regardless of the methods that you will use to get your Dragonvale gems, you better ensure that you always have gems with you as you play the game. Do not spend all your Dragonvale Germs on clearing forests and rocks from the island. Rather, learn to preserve them and use them only when need arises. Being wise and patient is the key to successful play of Dragonvale.

How do you use coins to buy gems? This article seems to say you can. But in the marketplace I have never seen gems offered for coins, only real $. Please explain.
I would like to know this as well. I have never seen coins-to-gems an option, but I sure would be interested in that. Even one gem for 100,000 dragoncash would be a good deal as compared with the other options available.
I love that you can give up 50 precious gems for a measly 169,000 DC, though! That’s a priceless joke!
Can someone please answer these questions. I really want to know too.

Has anyone else purchased the gem tree? I’m not sure how it works – apparently I need to have friends? It’s a spendy bugger just to sit there looking pretty.
Also, how many folks have treated a dragon to level 15? Leveling to 10 is a drop in the bucket compared to getting one from 10 to 15! I put a Blazing there last night, and realized after the fact that doing so cost me a whopping 317,440 treats! Leveling to 10, by comparison is a measly 20,460. Yikes. I don’t think I will be creating many level 15 dragons….
It seems it does not do anything other than increase the number of single-gem “gifts” to friends. Looks like I would need to have six friends to take full advantage. I should have saved my 100 gems and used them to upgrade the nursery and hibernation den.
This post is mostly full of the ol’ smelly brown stuff.
Yes, you can buy gems will real currency through in-app purchases.
Yes, you can “gift” a single gem a day to “friends” (though I am not convinced this actually works, as I have never had my total increase through this mechanism, but I also don’t know for sure that any of my contacts send me gems).
Yes, you can receive gems as a reward for silver or gold prizes from the stadium once per 24 hours. NOTE: Use pure-element dragons to guarantee gold or silver placement.
What can you not do to receive gems?
Purchase with Dragoncash.
Trade with Friends.
Sell Dragons (you can only get DC when selling dragons, regardless of their rarity).
Visiting the parks of contacts (you can get small amounts of DC by activating the party hats. If you’re level 25, you’ll likely see about 18,000 DC per daily park visit through this mechanism).
Anyone else have a different experience?
Yes, you can get gems from friends, without the tree you can send out 3 gems per day. however you can recieve as many as people send you. You will know every time you get a gem because when you log in, the game will tell you who sent you the gem.
Selling dragons does not work as it only gives cash. Visiting packs only gives cash as far as I have seen.

The gifting tree makes gems that you can give to your friends. Instead of 3 gifts a day it makes 6.

I would like to trade gems daily with you?? Let me know. Thanks
Attention!!! Don’t fall for Youtube videos or other scams that say if you send them a gem they can send you 500 or more! They take all your gems, and you never get any back. It’s great for them, but not great for you! And NEVER try to get gems through the jailbrake method. You may get your gems, but you’ll mess up your whole device. Even if you have backed up your memory with icloud, it’s not worth it. My ipod got all screwed up, it wasn’t worth it.
I am new thanks for the info…I just got my gem tree don’t know how many I get? Know anyone else that would like to trade daily gems? Thanks…love your islands..shirley
