The Rise of Kingdoms More Than Gems event lasts two days and rewards players for spending Gems on normal account priorities. The daily reward counter resets after the first day, allowing players to complete the same milestones twice.
The most important targets are 7,000 and 25,000 Gems per day. Spending 7,000 Gems commonly awards five Universal Legendary Sculptures, while spending 25,000 Gems awards 13 total sculptures for that day.
More Than Gems lasts two days and has separate daily counters. A practical target is 7,000 Gems per day, or 14,000 across the event. The maximum target is 25,000 Gems per day, or 50,000 total, for 26 Universal Legendary Sculptures across both days.
How Does the More Than Gems Event Work?
More Than Gems is a milestone event that tracks the number of Gems spent during each event day. As the daily spending counter reaches specific thresholds, additional reward chests become available.
The standard daily milestones are:
- 300 Gems
- 1,000 Gems
- 3,000 Gems
- 7,000 Gems
- 25,000 Gems
The counter resets after the first day. Gems spent on day one do not carry over into the second day’s milestone progress.

When Is the Next More Than Gems Event?
There is no guaranteed annual More Than Gems schedule. The interval can vary, so an estimated date should not be presented as confirmed.
To check for the next event:
- Open the main event menu.
- Review the in-game Event Calendar.
- Check upcoming event previews and countdowns.
- Monitor kingdom and alliance announcements.
- Confirm the event is active before spending Gems.
Do not spend based only on an unofficial prediction. An account may miss valuable milestone rewards if the event arrives earlier or later than expected.
For an overview of other recurring activities, visit the Rise of Kingdoms event guide.
How Often Does More Than Gems Return?
Community observations commonly place More Than Gems several weeks or several months apart. However, there is no dependable fixed interval that can be used to calculate the next date.
The safest planning approach is:
- Build a Gem reserve continuously.
- Avoid unnecessary impulse spending.
- Keep enough Gems for urgent account progression.
- Review the Event Calendar regularly.
- Do not assume the event will return on the same weekend or monthly cycle.
A long gap does not guarantee that the event is immediately approaching. Similarly, a recent event does not prove that another cannot appear sooner than expected.
More Than Gems Reward Milestones
The event includes five spending milestones each day. Universal Legendary Sculptures are the most valuable documented reward, but the event may also include speedups, resources, keys, and other items.
| Daily Gems Spent | Known Strategic Value | Recommended For |
| 300 | Entry milestone and secondary rewards | Players making only a small necessary purchase |
| 1,000 | Additional early milestone rewards | Small Gem reserves |
| 3,000 | Moderate milestone progress | Players below the main sculpture threshold |
| 7,000 | Five total Universal Legendary Sculptures for the day | Common F2P and low-spender target |
| 25,000 | 13 total Universal Legendary Sculptures for the day | Large reserves with valuable purchases planned |
| 50,000 across two days | 26 total Universal Legendary Sculptures | Maximum event completion |
Reward clarification: Reaching 25,000 Gems commonly produces 13 total sculptures for that day. It does not give 13 additional sculptures on top of the five already earned at 7,000. The final milestone adds eight more, bringing the daily total to 13.
Secondary rewards can change. Verify the active event panel before publishing or relying on exact quantities for speedups, resources, keys, or other items.
Do Rewards Reset on the Second Day?
Yes. More Than Gems uses two separate daily milestone counters.
For example:
- Spending 7,000 Gems on day one gives the day-one 7,000-Gem rewards.
- The counter returns to zero after the daily reset.
- You must spend another 7,000 Gems on day two to receive those rewards again.
The same rule applies to the 25,000-Gem maximum milestone.
| Plan | Day One | Day Two | Total |
| Practical target | 7,000 Gems | 7,000 Gems | 14,000 Gems |
| Maximum target | 25,000 Gems | 25,000 Gems | 50,000 Gems |
Do not spend all 50,000 Gems on the first day. Gem spending above the maximum daily milestone does not complete the second day’s rewards.
Should You Spend 7,000 or 25,000 Gems?
The 7,000-Gem milestone usually provides the stronger sculpture efficiency. The 25,000-Gem milestone provides more total rewards but requires an additional 18,000 Gems.
| Strategy | Two-Day Gem Cost | Commonly Documented Sculptures | Gems per Sculpture |
| 7,000 per day | 14,000 | 10 | 1,400 |
| 25,000 on one day | 25,000 | 13 | Approximately 1,923 |
| 25,000 per day | 50,000 | 26 | Approximately 1,923 |
Moving from 7,000 to 25,000 Gems costs an additional 18,000 Gems and adds eight Universal Legendary Sculptures. That equals approximately 2,250 Gems for each additional sculpture, before valuing the other milestone rewards.
Choose 7,000 Gems Per Day When
- You are free-to-play or a low spender.
- Your total reserve is approximately 14,000 to 30,000 Gems.
- You need to preserve Gems for Wheel of Fortune.
- You have no valuable reason to spend another 18,000 Gems.
- You want the strongest sculpture efficiency.
Choose 25,000 Gems Per Day When
- You have at least 50,000 Gems available.
- The purchases advance VIP, Castle, equipment, or a priority commander.
- You will retain an emergency Gem reserve afterward.
- The event overlaps with another valuable Gem activity.
- You value the maximum number of sculptures more than efficiency.
Do not spend 50,000 Gems merely because the maximum milestone exists. The underlying purchases should still improve the account.
What Counts as Gem Spending?
Normal purchases that directly consume Gems generally contribute to the event counter.
Common examples include:
- Buying VIP Points
- Purchasing Books of Covenant
- Buying eligible VIP Shop items
- Spinning Wheel of Fortune
- Buying eligible Courier Station offers
- Purchasing eligible event items
- Other direct Gem transactions
Collecting, purchasing, or receiving Gems does not itself increase the counter. The event tracks Gems spent.
Verification tip: Make one small planned purchase and confirm that the event counter increases before committing a large Gem reserve. This helps protect against unusual transaction types or updated event rules.
Where Should You Spend Gems During More Than Gems?
The best purchase depends on your account stage. More Than Gems should add rewards to spending you already planned rather than create a reason to buy low-value items.
1. VIP Points
VIP progression is often the safest long-term option because it provides permanent account bonuses.
Important milestones include:
- VIP 6: Important early account functions and permanent second-builder access
- VIP 10: One daily Universal Legendary Sculpture
- VIP 12: Two daily Universal Legendary Sculptures
- VIP 14: Three daily Universal Legendary Sculptures
Do not automatically target VIP 14 when the account is still far away. Calculate how many VIP Points remain and compare the Gem cost with Castle, Wheel, and other priorities.
2. Books of Covenant
Books of Covenant are a strong option when Castle progression is blocking Academy level 25 and T5 research.
Before buying Books:
- Check your current Castle level.
- Calculate how many Books remain.
- Subtract your existing Book inventory.
- Estimate future Barbarian Fort income.
- Decide whether the Castle is the account’s main bottleneck.
Books are commonly priced at 10 Gems each, so purchasing the final 5,000-Book requirement directly would equal 50,000 Gems.
Review the full calculation in the Castle Book requirements guide.
3. Wheel of Fortune
Wheel spins can be valuable when the featured commander supports a developed march and More Than Gems is active at the same time.
The same Gems may then contribute toward:
- Wheel milestone rewards
- Random Wheel rewards
- Commander-specific sculptures
- More Than Gems milestones
Do not spin heavily only because the events overlap. Confirm that the commander matches your troop type, pairings, equipment, and long-term investment plan.
Use the Rise of Kingdoms Wheel of Fortune guide to compare spin milestones.
4. VIP Shop
The VIP Shop can provide useful speedups and other progression items. However, not every item offers strong Gem value.
Consider buying when:
- The discount is substantial.
- The item supports an immediate account goal.
- The purchase helps reach a planned event milestone.
- VIP and Castle priorities are already under control.
5. Courier Station
Courier Station purchases should be evaluated individually. Strong discounts on speedups or necessary items can be useful, while normal-priced resources and unnecessary consumables may offer poor value.
Review the Courier Station Gem offers before spending a large amount.
6. Equipment and Other Progression
Developed accounts may have equipment, armament, event, or seasonal purchases that are more valuable than additional VIP Points or Castle Books.
Compare every option with the account’s current commanders and combat role rather than following one permanent spending list.
For a complete account-wide comparison, read the ROK Gem spending guide.
Best Strategy by Account Stage
| Account Stage | Likely Priority | Main Warning |
| Below VIP 6 | Essential growth and VIP progression | Do not delay basic development for several months |
| VIP 6-9 | Progress toward VIP 10 | Protect Gems needed for important commander unlocks |
| VIP 10, Castle incomplete | Compare VIP 12 with Books of Covenant | Do not buy more Books than required |
| Castle blocking T5 | Books of Covenant | Continue Fort farming and check the remaining requirement |
| Priority commander Wheel active | Wheel of Fortune | Avoid investing in a commander without a complete pairing plan |
| VIP 14 and Castle 25 | Wheel, VIP Shop, equipment, or account-specific needs | Do not buy poor-value items solely to reach 25,000 |
F2P More Than Gems Strategy
For many free-to-play players, 7,000 Gems per day is the most practical target.
Before the Event
- Complete daily objectives.
- Gather Gem deposits when practical.
- Participate in events that award Gems.
- Redeem active codes that include Gems.
- Avoid low-value impulse purchases.
- Decide whether your target is 14,000 or 50,000 total Gems.
- Keep an emergency reserve for teleports and important events.
Use the ROK Gem farming guide to increase your free Gem income.
During the Event
- Confirm the reward table and closing time.
- Check which account purchase provides the best value.
- Spend 7,000 Gems on day one if that is your planned target.
- Claim every unlocked reward.
- Wait for the daily reset.
- Repeat the process on day two.
- Stop unless spending another 18,000 Gems supports a valuable goal.
After the Event
- Rebuild the Gem reserve.
- Do not spend Universal Sculptures immediately.
- Check whether a commander still has future Wheel appearances.
- Record the event date for personal planning.
- Review whether your Gem purchases meaningfully improved the account.
More Than Gems and Wheel of Fortune
An overlap can be valuable because Wheel spending may also advance the More Than Gems counter.
Before using this strategy, check:
- Whether the featured commander is useful
- Whether you already have a suitable pairing
- How many Wheel spins you planned before the overlap appeared
- Whether VIP or Castle progress offers better permanent value
- Whether spending on day one or day two produces the better combination
Avoid increasing your Wheel budget only to complete More Than Gems. The overlap is most useful when both purchases were already part of your plan.
Should You Spend 50,000 Gems?
No. Every player does not need to spend 50,000 Gems.
| Situation | Recommended Approach |
| Below VIP 6 | Do not delay essential account development solely for the event |
| Only 14,000 Gems available | Consider 7,000 Gems on each day |
| 25,000-49,999 Gems available | Compare one maximum day with two 7,000-Gem days |
| 50,000 Gems with valuable purchases planned | Completing both maximum milestones may be reasonable |
| No valuable purchase available | Save the Gems rather than buying poor-value items |
| Priority Wheel approaching | Protect enough Gems for the commander plan |
| Castle blocking Academy and T5 | Consider Books after calculating the exact remaining requirement |
The maximum milestone is appropriate only when the purchases themselves have long-term value.
Comparing Gem-ready accounts? A large Gem reserve or high VIP level does not show the complete strength of an account. Players comparing available ROK accounts should also review unused Gems, Castle and Academy progress, unlocked T5 troops, commander skills, equipment, armaments, resources, Passport Pages, and current kingdom status.
What Should You Do With the Gold Heads?
Do not immediately apply the Universal Legendary Sculptures earned from the event.
Before using them:
- Confirm the commander is relevant to your current kingdom season.
- Check whether the commander has future Wheel appearances.
- Review the required pairing.
- Confirm that your equipment and troop technology support the march.
- Calculate the exact number needed for the next skill or expertise goal.
- Avoid dividing sculptures across several unfinished commanders.
Use the commander sculpture guide to review skill and expertise costs.
Common More Than Gems Mistakes
- Guessing the next date: Confirm it in the Event Calendar.
- Spending before the event begins: The counter must be active first.
- Forgetting the daily reset: Day-one progress does not carry into day two.
- Spending all 50,000 Gems on day one: The maximum daily milestone is 25,000.
- Stopping just below a milestone: Check the counter before ending your spending.
- Buying poor-value items: The event reward does not make every purchase efficient.
- Ignoring the 7,000-Gem target: It often provides better sculpture efficiency.
- Draining the Wheel reserve: Protect Gems needed for a priority commander.
- Buying too many Castle Books: Calculate the exact remaining requirement.
- Assuming VIP 14 is always first: Priorities depend on account stage.
- Forgetting to claim rewards: Open every unlocked milestone before the event closes.
- Spending gold heads immediately: Confirm the commander investment first.
