Quick Answer
More Than Gems rewards eligible gem spending over two separate days. The useful planning targets are 7,000 gems per day for a commonly documented total of five Universal Legendary Sculptures, or 25,000 per day for 13. Completing both 25,000-gem days costs 50,000 gems and awards 26 sculptures. These are cumulative daily rewards, not extra sculptures added on top of earlier milestones.
Check the active event panel before spending: it determines the eligible purchases, reward quantities and reset countdown for your kingdom. There is no confirmed universal date for the next event.
Choose a Two-Day Budget
| Plan | Day one | Day two | Total gems | Documented sculpture total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One smaller day | 7,000 | 0 | 7,000 | 5 |
| Two smaller days | 7,000 | 7,000 | 14,000 | 10 |
| One maximum day | 25,000 | 0 | 25,000 | 13 |
| Mixed budget | 25,000 | 7,000 | 32,000 | 18 |
| Both maximum days | 25,000 | 25,000 | 50,000 | 26 |
The order of the two days can be reversed. Leave the second day's budget untouched until its counter resets.
Our arithmetic makes the trade-off clear: moving from 7,000 to 25,000 on one day costs 18,000 more gems for eight more sculptures. That is 2,250 gems of spending per additional sculpture. You also receive whatever you bought, so this is a comparison of bonus milestones, not a shop price for sculptures.
If you have 25,000 gems, spending 7,000 on both days leaves 11,000 in reserve and earns ten sculptures. Spending all 25,000 on one day earns three more sculptures but leaves no reserve. Choose based on your next account goal and planned purchases.
What Should You Buy?
Make the purchase list first, then choose the milestone it supports.
| Your next goal | Purchase to evaluate | Check before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Reach an important VIP level | VIP points | How many points remain, and what daily benefit unlocks? |
| Finish Castle requirements | Books of Covenant | Your actual book shortfall and whether it blocks the next Academy upgrade |
| Build equipment or a commander | Relevant shop items or event purchases | Availability, purchase limits and whether the active event counts the spend |
| No useful upgrade identified | Keep the gems | Extra reward chests do not make an unwanted purchase useful |
Do not interrupt essential early progression just to wait for an unannounced event. Likewise, avoid buying a large pile of generic speedups solely to force the 25,000 milestone. A smaller completed target can suit your account better.
Before the Daily Reset
- Open More Than Gems and read the current spend counter.
- Calculate the shortfall to the target you chose.
- Make an eligible purchase you already wanted.
- Return to the event and confirm that the counter increased.
- Claim the unlocked rewards before the relevant deadline.
- On day two, confirm that you are looking at the new daily counter before spending again.
Spending 50,000 on day one does not complete day two. Spending 12,500 on each day does not reach the 25,000 milestone on either day.
When Is the Next More Than Gems Event?
There is no dependable global timetable. Published guides disagree on the interval, so this page does not turn a past cycle into a promised future date. Use the event calendar guide to find your kingdom's active schedule and record reset times.
Compare the Two-Day Budget, Not Just One Chest
In the commonly documented reward structure, 7,000 gems earns five universal legendary sculptures per day; reaching 25,000 brings that day's total to thirteen. Daily progress resets, so decide how to divide the budget before spending.
| Plan | Total gems across two days | Universal legendary sculptures |
|---|---|---|
| 7,000 on each day | 14,000 | 10 |
| 25,000 on one day only | 25,000 | 13 |
| 25,000 one day, 7,000 the other | 32,000 | 18 |
| 25,000 on both days | 50,000 | 26 |
The move from 7,000 to 25,000 on one day costs another 18,000 gems for eight more sculptures, plus the other milestone rewards. The gems still buy the VIP points, books or shop items you chose. These figures therefore describe the event bonus, not the full value of the purchase.
For example, an account with 20,000 gems can reserve 7,000 for each day and keep 6,000. Spending all 20,000 on day one misses the 25,000 checkpoint and leaves nothing for day two. More spending is not automatically a better plan.
Choose the purchase first. VIP can be valuable when it reaches a daily sculpture milestone; books can make sense when Castle is the actual T5 blocker. Buying items you do not need to manufacture event points is still wasteful. Confirm the live reward table and eligible purchases before using the plan, then set a reminder against the in-game daily reset so you do not miss the second day's claim.

FAQ
Is 7,000 or 25,000 gems better?
7,000 per day uses a smaller reserve and has better bonus-sculpture efficiency. 25,000 per day earns more total rewards when you have useful purchases and can afford the extra spend.
Are the 13 sculptures at 25,000 additional to the first five?
No. The documented total is 13 for the day, including the earlier five.
Can I split 25,000 across both days?
You can spend that way, but the counters are separate. Neither day reaches the top milestone unless that day's total reaches 25,000.
Does buying gems count as spending gems?
Buying a bundle and spending your gem balance are different actions. Read the event's eligibility wording; do not assume a cash purchase itself advances the gem-spend counter.
