Magic Gem Vault

## **Summary**

Magic Gem Vaults are buildings that increase the maximum capacity of Magic Gems which can be held at a time.

Magic Gem storage capacity needs to be increased in order to have enough Magic Gems on hand to purchase items as needed.

Magic Gem Vaults can be tapped after a specific amount of time for some Magic Gems.

With the update on February 10, 2022 the artwork for the Magic Gem Vault chain was revised. New images are now shown.

## **Cost**

The cost of purchasing Magic Gem Vaults from the Building Shop (tab 2) in the Buy Menu varies as it is based on the quantity and level of the Magic Gem Vaults found in the Homeland. Bubbled Magic Gem Vaults are not included in setting the cost.

The initial cost of a level 1 - Simple Gem Vault is 5 Magic Gems while the level 2 - Minaret Gem Vault's initial cost is 40 Stone. Subsequent costs will increase based on the level of Magic Gem Vaults found on the Homeland map, or the total Magic Gem Storage Capacity.

It is therefore better to build higher level Magic Gem Vaults from scratch by bubbling any that currently exist which will reduce the Magic Gem Storage Capacity down to a capped amount of 100 Magic Gems and then using **Stone to mass purchase the Minaret Gem Vaults at the cost of 40 Stone each**.

NOTE: Before bubbling any of the Magic Gem Vaults spend what you have in your Magic Gem Storage on items you need in the Shop such as Elf Eggs/Nests or Chests. Also ensure you have enough Stone accumulated to do mass purchases, it will cost approximately 10,400 Stone to create one level 8 Mythic Gem Vault.

In order to do this it is best to have a lot of available free tiles on the map as possible before mass purchasing new Magic Gem Vaults. Fill up the map with the new vaults then have your Elves construct all of them, once they are all constructed, mass merge them using the Merging Quantity Display and the Black Hole to ensure the merge is divisible by 5. See Game Settings for details on the two mentioned game features.

Bubble the newly created Magic Gem Vaults to once again reduce the cost of the Minaret Gem Vault in the Building Shop. Repeat this process until you achieve as many high level Magic Gem Vaults as you want. Once completed just leave the, hopefully, level 8 - Mythic Gem Vaults on the map to increase the Magic Gem Vault Storage Capacity. Keep in mind that the Mythic Gem Vault is a 2x2 building and will require a bit of space once a few of them are created.

If you have a lot of available space on the map and want to achieve one or two Mythic Gem Vaults in one mass merge . . .

* To create one level 8 Mythic Gem Vault in a single mass merge 313 free tiles will be needed. Purchase the Minaret Gem Vaults required for a capped cost of 40 Stone each (12,520 Stone) until the map is full.
* To create two level 8 Mythic Gem Vaults in a single mass merge 520 free tiles will be needed. Purchase the Minaret Gem Vaults required for a capped cost of 40 Stone each (20,800 Stone) until the map is full.

## **How to Get a Magic Gem Vault**

* Through the Building Shop (tab 2) in the Buy Menu
	+ Simple Gem Vault level 1 (initial cost is 5 Magic Gems)
	+ Minaret Gem Vault level 2 (initial cost is 40 Stone) <--- Is the preferred vault to mass purchase !

## **Building Magic Gem Vaults**

Once a Magic Gem Vault (level 1 or 2) is purchased from the Building Shop (tab 2) in the Buy Menu it will appear on the Homeland map as a 1x1 Build Site.
Elves are needed in order to construct them. Drag and drop Elves onto the build sites or double tap the build site to summon an Elf to construct it. The construction time can be sped up by dropping multiple Elves onto the build site or by tapping the arrow icon next to the progress bar above the Elf Dwelling to pay 2 Golden Leaves to complete the process immediately.
