Gems and gold are the progress engine — they buy units, upgrades, and evolutions. This is the farming loop that makes the most per hour and what to reinvest in so you never stall. Same loop, better decisions, more gems per session.
Most guides only mention one or two. Here are all the reliable taps, from biggest one-time income to the everyday repeatable farm.
First-clearing each story on normal and hard grants roughly 1,800 gems per story (creator-reported, treat as approximate). This is your largest guaranteed lump income and it reset the table for every other source to grow from. The moment you can beat a story you haven't cleared, the first-clear gem is free money waiting on the map.
The creator's beginner guide lists a starter batch — THANKYOU!, TYKaito!, Origins, AO, Release! (creator-reported). Codes rotate, expire, and replenish, so the reliable habit is checking the live codes page at the start of each session rather than trusting a stale list. Every working code is free gems and gold you'd otherwise miss.
The devs run timed events and giveaways that pay gem bonuses while they're live. Because schedules change without warning, the reliable signal is watching the game's official channels for announcements. Events are the one source here that's timing-sensitive — you can't reclaim last week's event gems, so check for new ones often.
The everyday engine is replaying the story stage your team clears fastest for gold and gems. This is less per clear than a first-clear, but it's repeatable and it's what funds all your upgrades between lump incomes. Master this route and every other system in the game grows from it.
Earning is half the game; the other half is not wasting what you earned. These four rules keep your gems compounding instead of evaporating.
Creator guides steer beginners to strong, guaranteed units over chasing rare summons. Exact odds are community-reported and unconfirmed, so a known strong unit risks less than an unknown roll.
Always spend toward the upgrade that lifts your next clear speed — a unit, a star level, or an evolve — because faster clears mean more per hour.
Ask how many farm runs a purchase costs. If the payback grind is longer than you want, a cheaper upgrade wins.
Gems in your wallet are resources not growing you. Buy the clear-speed upgrade next rather than sitting on a stack for a someday pull.
A quick reference for deciding where your next gem goes. Effort is per rare or one-time source; weekly is the repeatable baseline.
| Method | Effort | Reward | Weekly value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Story first-clear (normal + hard) | Low for each clear | ~1,800 gems per story | One-time per story; sweep leftovers |
| Redeem codes | Minutes at session start | Free gems + gold per code | Repeatable as codes rotate |
| Events & giveaways | Varies by event | Gem bonuses while live | Timing-sensitive, check often |
| Repeatable farm (fastest stage) | Core daily grind | Gold + gems per run | Every session, compounds |
First-clear and code values are creator-reported and should be verified live; the table compares types by effort and payback, not exact rates (which are community-reported and unconfirmed).
The best early spend is a strong unit you farm with — the rarest unit is an endgame reward, not a first goal. Treat summons as the lottery they are, funded only once your core team is solid.
Use the gem planner to compare how many farms a purchase costs. If it's longer than you want to grind, a cheaper upgrade wins. Schools on numbers, not feelings.
When grinding gets slow, evolving a main unit into a stronger form raises your whole farming ceiling — the farm gets faster, so the gems flow faster too.
We don't dress up guesses as facts. The ~1,800 first-clear gems per story and the THANKYOU!/TYKaito!/Origins/AO/Release! codes are creator-reported and marked as such — verify them on the live codes and story pages. Exact summon odds, drop rates, and gem/gold prices are community-reported, not on any official table, so a precise percentage you find anywhere online (here or elsewhere) is unconfirmed and will drift as the devs patch. The reliable edge in Anime Origins isn't a secret rate — it's the habit of sweeping first-clears, redeeming codes early each session, and reinvesting into clear speed instead of hoarding or rerolling. Players who follow that loop steadily out-earn players hunting a single lucky pull.
Money method is the through-line — everything feeds it.
