The Fastest Way to Free Farm Gems in Clash of Clans

by Loki on 12/04/2025

Gems are free... if you know how to get them. We turned medals, potions, and obstacles into a weekly gem stash.

Hey Gem-Miner,

We’re not gonna lie—Clash gems feel like currency crack.
Shiny, rare, and half the time you don’t even know what you’re saving them for. You just know you want more.

So yeah, we fell into the gem grind. Not the “buy 2,500 gems for $49” type. Nah—we’re talking pure, sweaty, free-to-play gem farming. It’s not glamorous. It’s barely fun. But it works.

And weirdly? It kinda changed how we play.

🛠 Selling Stuff = Free Gems (Just… Slowly)

This one's a sleeper strat. Like, it feels illegal that it works. But it does. Here's what we did:

Bought wall rings using raid medals, then sold them for 75 gems/week
Grabbed resource potions from the League Shop and sold those too. 10 gems per? Easy.
Said no to builder potions. (Tough choice, ngl.)

If you’re consistent, that’s 300+ gems a month right there—just from the shop. No attacks. No trophies. Just vibes.

🏆 Pushing for Trophies (AKA Gem Grinding’s Final Boss)

Okay, this is where things got out of hand.

We decided to push leagues just to claim the big gem achievement.
Spoiler: it paid 2,000 gems.
This would be the most gems you'll ever get by unlocking an achievement. But the journey?

League 30 sounds doable until you start running into TH13s with scattershots while your troops are still eating snack packs.

We had to:

Snipe Town Halls like sneaky goblins with anxiety
Use a hero potion just to survive mid-fights

Each match felt like dodging landmines with a toothpick army. But hey—it worked. Eventually.

🤯 Rookie Mistakes That Cost Us Gems (Learn From Our Chaos)

Forgot to assign helpers after unlocking them. That’s like buying Netflix and never logging in.
Sold builder potions... then instantly regretted it when upgrades slowed to a crawl. Takeaway: Don't sell builder potions for gems.
Blew shiny ore on upgrades that weren’t even priority. Earthquake Boots? Really?

🎒 Hidden Gem Sources Most Players Sleep On

Not every gem comes from grinding. Some just sneak in. Keep an eye on:

Achievements (like X number of Infernos destroyed, gear-ups done, etc.)
Gem Mine – yeah it’s slow, but passive income is still income. Bonus: Upgrade it to max as soon as possible.
Season events – Elixir Boot Camp, Dark Elixir Boot Camp... free loot = progress = more things to sell or claim.

Also, clearing obstacles is a huge win.
We pulled over 1,500 gems across a few weeks just by keeping the map clean. Remember, Builder Base has obstacles too!

Another Way to Get 200 More Gems Every Week! (Actually Works)

Look—we know this blog’s all about free gem farming.
But if you’re someone who doesn’t mind spending the cost of one meal a month on Clash, there’s one option that seriously boosts your gem returns: the Gold Pass.

Now before you roll your eyes, hear this out.

Buying the Gold Pass isn’t just about shiny skins or quicker upgrades—it’s a hidden gem-farming tool.

Here’s how:

You unlock 4–5 books and 4–5 runes every season
→ Each of these sells for 50 gems
Add shovels to the mix—again, 50 gems each
That alone gives you 500–550 gems/month
→ That’s 130+ gems/week, just from selling extra rewards
On top of that, you get 13–15 potions, wall rings, and more items that can be turned into gems

And don’t forget: Gold Pass also gives you a 20% boost, faster training, and reduced upgrade costs, which means your base levels up faster while you keep farming.

We're not saying you have to buy it—but if you are planning to get the Gold Pass (or anything from the shop), don’t forget to use code BLUE. It supports the creator without costing you extra—and it’s just good karma.

The choice is yours—but now you know how much it can really pay off.

😈 Don't Turn Gem Farming Into a Cult

This might sound weird coming from us but… maybe stop trying to hoard every single gem?

Look, builder potions, lab speed-ups, hero upgrades—they exist for a reason. Hoarding gems like a dragon while your Queen takes 7 days to level up? Not the flex you think it is.

There’s a difference between:

Farming gems to speed up your base
And flexing gem count like it’s a leaderboard stat

So yeah. Think before you convert everything into gems. Ask yourself:
Do I want more gems... or do I want a stronger base faster?

Sometimes, using the magic items is the better play. And if that means you “only” have 426 gems left? That’s still a win if your Queen just hit level 30.
