Gem Lode

Gem Lodes are tiles which can be gathered to obtain Gems. Gem Lodes spawn from Levels 1 to 5 during Special Events such as Kingdom Clash (KvK).

Unlike other resource tiles, Gem Lodes spawn in intervals, with a few minutes in between the low levels, and over an hour between Level 4 and 5. Gathering the Lodes, or leaving them partly gathered, has no effect on the spawn rate.

A large number of Level 1 Lodes will spawn. The number of Lodes that spawn decreases with each Level. Gem Lodes Levels 1-4 will spawn up to three times. Level 5 Gems Lodes will only spawn twice.

Lode Level	Gems
1	10
2	50
3	100
4	200
5	500

To increase Gathering speed for Gem Lodes:

• Research Gem Harvesting I and Gem Harvesting II
  • Each research will increase Gem Gathering Speed by 10%, for a total of 20%.
• Upgrade the Familiar Gemming Gremlin to Max Level to unlock and upgrade the Permanent Effect Skill: Gem Gathering Speed.
  • When upgraded to Max Lv. 10, this skill will increase Gem Gathering Speed by 10%.

Note: Gathering Speed boosts from Talents, Equipment, and other Research do not boost gathering speed for Gem Lodes. However, army capacity and Gathering Troops Travel Speed bonuses do apply.

Also note that the Noceros' instant gathering skill will not work for Gem Lodes.

Kingdom Clash Rewards

After KvK, Gem Lodes spawn every 6 hours, starting with Level 1 Lodes, and increasing up to Level 5, in the winning Kingdom. If only two Kingdoms have competed against each other (1 vs 1), Gem Lodes will only spawn in Levels 1-2, throughout the defeated Kingdom.

If three or four Kingdoms have competed against each other, Gem Lodes will spawn in Levels 1-4 throughout the defeated Kingdoms. The exact Level of the Gem Lodes depends on the number of Kingdoms participating in KvK and their Rank in the event.
