Gems
More actions
Gems are the sole currency in Growtopia (besides the imaginary currency used when trading items, or the Rarity rating). Gems can be found through In-App Purchases or through normal means of play.
Gems can be obtained through many different sources. Breaking tiles or using items can sometimes yield a number of gems, the amount per item depending on the item's rarity. Harvesting trees also yield gems, generally more prominently than the items themselves.
Purchasing any items, item packs, or upgrades from the Growtopia Store the first time will give the player the Recycler tool. This allows the player to get rid of items in their inventory in exchange for gems.

There are also special tiles which can yield large amounts of gems when broken. If a Mystery Block is broken, each block broken can drop 10-50 gems. However, the high rarity of the item makes this a bad suggestion in the long run. Another item that will yield even more gems, up to 200, is the Pot O' Gold, distributed on St. Patrick's Week. However, it is also very rare and valued at 200 rarity, making it the most statistically rare item in the game, and the limited quantity of the item gives it a high value in trading, so destroying it is not recommended.
Farming
There is a higher chance of getting gems from trees, so it is a good idea to plant a large amount of trees in a line and simply break them all. The items most reliable for this are items which are self-sustaining; items which can yield more seeds than the initial count after harvesting. There are many items which do this, such as Rock, Grass and colored blocks. The higher the rarity, the more gems you can get out of it.
A common gem farming method is "Purple Farming," which make use of the Purple Block. The tile's reliable self-sustainability combined with the short two-hour growth time and the generally high gem drop-rate makes it popular among most players. The Pastel Purple Block also works well, giving slightly more gems due to being one rarity value higher.
