The shop has many offers including 1 time gem packs, gem bundles, and a 30-day magic gem payout. If you are just a beginner in the game, you will find that the 30-day magic gem payout is a great place to start. Find the purple magic stars To earn gems while playing the game, it is advisable to find purple magic stars before tapping them for gems. The easiest way to get purple magic stars is by completing a quest. When you do that, you may find a purple star falling. However, you need to know that the process happens by chance. This means that there is no tallying or rates that affect the number of purple stars that appear on the screen. Therefore, you are dependent on luck to find a purple star. If you find that a purple star appears on a level, you should not tap them but instead bring them to the garden. However, you need to leave them to rest in the garden for sometime and when you win that level; you can claim them when you are getting your rewards. The good thing is that you can save them up before merging them up at a later stage. Merge them in a set of 5 When you have saved about 5 purple magic stars, you have the option of merging them up all at once. However, some people are tempted to merge 3 purple stars. However, this is not always effective. You need to let them reach a number of 5 so that you can tap them for gems. Find gems on land The last way to find free gems is by finding purple magic stars on the ground inside the cursed garden. Unfortunately, these are rarer to find. Alternatively, you can unlock the premium land under the green trees to unlock the purple magic stars and a bunch of gems. After you gather the necessary amount of magic power first, you will be able to purchase the land. Watch advertisements Another way to find free gems in the merge gardens games is by watching ads.
