Where to spend gems early (and how)
BigBoB rule from KitKiller: gems are not “candy”. Until the right moment — they are fuel for VIP and More Than Gems.
1) First goal — VIP 6
Raise VIP to 6 as early as you can. At VIP 6 you unlock a permanent second builder. Without it, early growth crawls.
Until VIP 6 you are the only exception: you may spend gems on VIP (and related VIP progress). Waiting forever for the event while stuck on one builder hurts more than it helps — the gap between More Than Gems runs is huge.
2) After VIP 6 — stop spending. Stack gems.
Once you have VIP 6:
- Do not burn gems on random chests, cosmetics, panic speedups.
- Hoard gems (самоцветы) and wait for More Than Gems («Больше, чем блестяшки»).
If your wallet is empty every week — something in the plan is wrong. Farm and save; ask in chat how BigBoB pulls daily gem income.
3) Event: More Than Gems (2 days)
Duration: 2 days. Each day you spend gems to climb reward tiers.
| Per day | Full clear |
|---|---|
| 25 000 gems | all daily milestones |
| 2 days | 50 000 gems total |
Spend those gems on VIP / VIP shop / normal gem sinks that count for the event — not into trash. For ~50k gems you get roughly:
- 26 golden universal sculptures (5 + 8 from the high tiers across two days, as in the official math)
- plus strong speedups and resources
That package is why serious players always keep a gem reserve for this event.
Early milestones (start of the track)
Examples on the ladder: 300 → 1 500 → 4 000 → 7 000 gems spent — keys, star sculptures, XP tomes, speedups, resource chests.
Top daily milestones
| Spend | Highlights |
|---|---|
| 7 000 | 5 universal sculptures, keys, XP, speedup/resource chests |
| 12 000 | 8 starlight sculptures, XP, speedups, resources |
| 25 000 | 8 universal sculptures, XP, keys, chests |
Two full 25 000 days ≈ the 26 universals everyone talks about.
4) Next VIP milestone — VIP 14 (minimum)
Continuing the plan: after VIP 6 and the gem-saving habit, your must-have VIP floor is VIP 14.
At VIP 14 you get 3 golden sculptures per day. That daily income is what you need to keep leveling legendary commanders without starving for heads.
Treat VIP 14 as a long-term target you push toward with VIP points / gem spends that also feed More Than Gems when the event is up — not as an excuse to dump gems into junk between events.
5) BigBoB checklist
- Push VIP 6 first (second builder).
- Then save until More Than Gems.
- On the event: plan ~25k/day, hit the top rows, claim everything.
- Keep climbing VIP toward VIP 14 — 3 golden sculptures/day for legendaries.
- Compare gem sinks anytime on /gems.
- Unsure before a big spend — ask R4/KitKiller in chat.
Official guides say “always save for More Than Gems”. We agree — after the second builder. Before VIP 6, growth tempo matters more than perfect gem purity. After that: stack for the event, and lock in VIP 14 for daily golden heads.
