Okay so I have tried finding a guide on this but cannot, and as I started I used my gems not wisely and ended up with 24 but I have now obtained 130 from mushrooms etc,
I don't plan on purchasing GEMS, maybe once with a 10$ iTunes card, but can you be successful without purchasing GEMS. Any successful players want to share there stories ?
I ask because I know like Chief and Godson have thousands of Gems, and I wanted to know is that the only way to become strong.
you dont need gems to be successful,all you need is patience and dedication
Patience is the answer.
Gems are only used to speed up build/train times and boost Mines/Collectors.
So unless you're in a hurry, there's no need to buy/use gems. EVER. Just be patient and dedicated.

Yeah because i've been playing for almost a week, and I am level 16 and my friends tell my i'm doing pretty good. I don't spend gems anymore, and I haven't had any problems.
However, when I am higher level will I be raiding less because of the time it takes to create troops?
ok, good question, but easy answer.
Obviosuly you can
The obvious answer is yes... You can't auto produce armies as much without gems. However, I am nearing my 6th week playing, and I haven't spent any cash, but I'm pretty active when it comes to raiding and building... spend your free gems on extra builders as you get them. And just raid as much as possible.Quote:

As others are saying is all about dedication and time. Beeing active is the key and learning from experiences to develop strategies.
Good luck without gems. It is better for me. More challenging.
There is no sense of pride when you gem. that is simple.
No, the only way to be good is gemming.
Gemming is love, gemming is life.
My point exactly, everyone gemming it's like :P without the gems you'd be no where.Quote:

Gemming requires no real skill from what i'm hearing.Quote:

dosnt require any skill to not gem either.
some people learn how to attack, some dont, wether or not they gem is irrelevant as 95% of the playerbase does not know how to attack.
Depends on what you consider successful. For sure you can get real far. You can make your defense and get your walls and heroes pretty far as well. I say pretty far as there's a point that people will eventually stop playing the same so yeah technically you can max without gems but that would take years without boosts playing hours a day.
You can probably get to champions without boosting barracks as well if you use barch or some fast 50% strategy and have insane amounts of dedication.
If your idea of success is breaking into the leaderboard than no you can't lol.
Those who are anti buying gems ever remember if it wasn't for people buying gems this game wouldn't even be half as good or even abanonded since no company can pour money and time onto something that doesnt make money. I boosts my barracks quite often and have been farming 30,000k de (50k yesterday) per day lately so even with both heroes and lab going Ive had to use some gems to finish heroes a couple days early to restart them does that make me less skilled than someone who sits there and gets raided all week cause he farms too fast?
Anyways op have fun on your quest. Try to plan your builders days wisely that way your not sitting on full storages all day. So have one finishing every day for walls than next building. How often you raid will determine how far and fast you progress so master fast builds like B.A.M.
Well,
The more YOU gem, the more $$ Supercell makes, which makes the game better for ME and EVERYONE ELSE.
So the answer is NO YOU WILL SUCK IF YOU DON'T BUY GEMS.
I mean, I don't want to be in the leader boards, I just want to be very strong, have a good clan and do clan wars. I am pretty sure I can do all of this without spending money on gems. But I believe I might buy a few gems. But for builders that is.
You're good to go with 3 builders up to TH7, and 4 builders when you hit TH8. If you don't spend any gems on boosts/buying resources/finishing buildings, you will have enough FREE gems to buy your 4th builder at TH8.Quote:
