Let’s dive into the Complete, No-BS Guide to Getting Gems and Gold in Epic Heroes War.

First Things First: Why Gems & Gold Feel Like Unicorn Tears

Let’s get real for a sec. Epic Heroes War isn’t shy about making you work for its shiny currencies.

Gold is your everyday bread-and-butter: used for upgrading heroes, fixing buildings, buying that extra health potion when you’re about to face the Nightmare Boss.

Gems are the glittering crown jewels. They’re for the fancy stuff: reviving heroes instantly, buying exclusive skins, skipping wait times, or unlocking those “Oh wow, this actually changes the game!” premium features.

The game doles them out like your grandma gives out candy—sparingly and usually when you least expect it (looking at you, 3 AM daily login). But here’s the secret they don’t tell you: It’s all about strategy, patience, and knowing where to poke the bear.

The Ultimate Gem & Gold Grinding Playbook (From Someone Who’s Done the Grind)

1. Daily Quests & Login Rewards: Your BFFs

(Or: How I Learned to Stop Forgetting to Log In)

Okay, this sounds obvious, right? But hear me out. I used to be the queen of forgetting. I’d think, “I’ll log in tomorrow!” and then tomorrow becomes next week, and suddenly my Gold stash is crying in the corner.

My “Aha!” Moment:

Set REMINDERS. Like, actual reminders on your phone. Label them things like:

“HEY! YOUR HEROES NEED GOLD! LOG IN OR THEY’LL BE SAD!”

Seriously. I now get a notification every morning at 8:15 AM (right after my coffee brews) that says: “Daily Quest Time! Don’t be a bum, log in!” It works. I’m now that person who logs in before checking Instagram. (My cat judges me, but it’s worth it.)

Pro Tips:

Never skip the “Bonus Objective” in daily quests. Sometimes it’s “Win 3 matches with a Support Hero” – easy peasy if you pick my main, Luna. Other times it’s “Deal 500 damage in one match.” Go for a quick Bot Match. No shame!

Login Streaks are GOLD. If you miss Day 7 of a streak, you lose the big reward (like 50 Gems!). I once missed it because I was at a wedding. A wedding. I got so many side-eyes from my family when I whispered “NOOOO, MY GEM STREAK!” during the vows. Worth it? Debatable. But now I set two reminders.

2. Events, Tournaments & “Free Stuff” Pop-Ups: Hunt Like a Treasure Seeker

Epic Heroes War loves throwing events at you. Sometimes they’re obvious (big banners shouting “FREE GEMS!”). Sometimes they’re sneaky, hiding in the corner like a shy kitten.

A. Limited-Time Events = Gem Goldmines

Every few weeks, there’s an event like “Dragon’s Hoard Festival” or “Shadow Arena Challenge.” These usually give bonus Gems/Gold for specific tasks:

Win 5 matches with a specific faction.

Collect 10 rare drops from a boss.

Just log in for 7 days straight.

My Epic Fail (and Fix):

Last month, there was a “Double Gold Weekend” event. I swear I saw the banner. But I was distracted because my dog had just eaten my snack. So I ignored it… for 48 hours. When I logged in Monday, the event was gone, and I’d missed out on 200 Gold. Rude.

Now I:

Check the “Events” tab EVERY time I log in. Even if I’m just checking mail.

Join the official Discord. Players post event reminders constantly. One guy in my server sends daily memes like, “Don’t forget the Gem Fest ends in 3 hours! Also, here’s a cat photo.” It’s glorious.

B. Tournaments: Where the Big Gems Live

Tournaments are competitive, but they pay out HUGE rewards. Think 100+ Gems for top placements.

But here’s the kicker: You don’t always need to win to get rewards. Many tournaments give participation prizes. Like, if you just show up and play 3 matches, you get 10 Gold. Play 5? Maybe 5 Gems.

My Tournament Horror Story:

I once spent 3 hours grinding a tournament, only to realize I’d forgotten to select the correct hero faction required for bonus rewards. I got nothing extra. I yelled so loud my neighbor texted me: “You good over there??”

Fix It Like a Pro:

Read the fine print. Seriously. Double-check faction requirements, hero levels, everything.

Aim for “Mid-Tier” Prizes. Don’t stress about winning #1. If you’re mid-skill like me (I’m decent but not a god), focus on hitting the “Top 50%” or “Top 25%” brackets. Those often give 20-30 Gems. That’s a skin right there!

3. Smart Grinding in the Arena & Shrines: Work Smarter, Not Harder

A. Arena Battles = Steady Gold Stream

The Arena is your bread-and-butter for Gold. Win matches, get Gold. Simple! But do it smart:

Early Game: Play Bot Matches (yes, even at level 30+). Why? Bots give more Gold than player matches sometimes, especially if you’re just starting a new account. Plus, you can test new heroes risk-free.

Mid/Late Game: Stick to Quick Matches (under 5 mins). Longer matches waste time. If you’re losing badly, retreat! Surviving 3 minutes gives you some Gold; dying instantly gives you nothing.

My Arena Hack:

I set a timer for 30 minutes every evening. I play Arena non-stop. When the timer dings, I stop—even if I’m on a winning streak. Why? My brain turns to mush after that, and I start losing. Preserving your win rate = more Gold long-term.

B. Shrines of Depths: The High-Risk, High-Reward Gem Machine

Ah, the Shrines. Where dreams go to die… or get gloriously made.

Every time you open a Shrine of Depths, you could get:

Common drops (useless)

Rare drops (okay)

GEM DROPS! (rare but possible)

BUT. It costs Gold to open them. So you gotta be smart.

My “Shrine Strategy” (Tested Over 100 Times):

Only open Shrines when you have a “Shrine Boost” active. These come from events or daily quests (like “Use 3 Shrines Today”). The boost doubles your chances for rare drops, including Gems.

Save your Gold. I used to blow all my Gold on Shrines immediately. Bad idea! Wait until you have at least 5,000 Gold saved. Then open 5 Shrines back-to-back for better odds.

NEVER use real money to buy Gold for Shrines. Seriously. I did this once after a rough day. Got nothing. Cried into my cereal. Not worth it.

Fun Anecdote: Last week, I opened 10 Shrines with a boost. Nine gave junk. The tenth? 5 GEMS. I screamed so loud my cat jumped onto the roof. Worth it.

4. Save Your Gems Like They’re Your Last Slice of Pizza

Okay, this is crucial. Don’t spend Gems just because you can.

I used to blow Gems on instant revives mid-battle because I was lazy. Big mistake. Now I treat Gems like candy: only on special occasions.

When TO Spend Gems:

✅ Buying a Limited-Time Skin you really want (and it’s on sale!).

✅ *Reviving a hero during a critical event match (where losing means missing out on big rewards).

✅ Skipping a long cooldown if it lets you complete a daily quest you’re this close to finishing.

When NOT to Spend Gems:

❌ Just because you’re impatient for that 30-minute cooldown. Wait it out.

❌ On “Mystery Boxes” that promise “Maybe Gems!” 95% of the time it’s trash.

❌ To flex in chat. No one cares that your hero has sparkles.

My Personal Rule:

I only spend Gems if it directly helps me earn MORE Gems/Gold long-term. Example: Using Gems to revive during a tournament final that gives 50 Gems for winning. Otherwise? Save it.

5. The “Side Hustle” Methods: Little Things That Add Up

These won’t make you rich overnight, but they’re like finding $20 in your old jeans—delightful when they happen.

A. Claim All In-Game Mail Rewards

Check your Mail tab every time you log in. Developers often send:

“Welcome Back!” Gold for returning after a break.

Event compensation (like when the servers crashed last month—they gave 10 Gems!).

Pro Tip: I leave the game logged in 24/7 on my tablet. Why? Sometimes “time-sensitive” mail expires in 7 days. If I’m already online, I don’t miss it.

B. Friend Invites = Free Stuff

Invite friends! You both get Starter Packs (often 50 Gold + 1 Gem).

My Story: I invited my skeptical brother. He rolled his eyes… then got hooked. Now he sends me Gem gifts because he feels guilty for taking my starter pack. Victory.

C. Watch Reward Ads (If You Can Stand Them)

Sometimes the game offers “Watch an Ad for 10 Gold.” It’s boring, but if you’re multitasking (like folding laundry), do it. 10 Gold x 10 ads = 100 Gold. That’s a hero upgrade!

Final Thoughts: Patience & Pizzazz

Look, getting Gems and Gold in Epic Heroes War isn’t magic. It’s consistency, strategy, and not crying when you open 10 Shrines for nothing (we’ve all been there).

Remember:

Log in daily. Even for 2 minutes.

Chase events like they’re the last slice of pizza.

Save Gems for things that matter.

Enjoy the grind. Seriously—if you’re not having fun, what’s the point?

And hey, if you ever feel stuck? Join a community. I’m in three Discord servers full of heroes who share tips, meme each other, and sometimes just vent together when the game rigged a boss fight. We’re all in this gem-hungry mess together.

So go forth, hero! May your Shrines drop Gems, your Arenas overflow with Gold, and your cat never knock over your phone mid-tournament.

Happy grinding! ✨
