    The fastest way to get Gems is to purchase them with real money. [27] To purchase gems, tap the purple gem icon at the top of the screen. Then tap the price button below the package you want to purchase and confirm your purchase in the Google Play Store or App Store window.
    • Purchasing Gems on the Dragon City webstore (instead of in-game) can also give you a 10% bonus. For example, you can buy 72 Gems for the same price as buying 65 Gems in-game. [28]
    • Sometimes you can purchase gems at discounted prices. Look for offers to the right of your main screen, next to the number of Gems at the top, or in the Store.
    • Gems can range from $1.99 for 25 Gems to $99.99 for 1,700 Gems.
