What do you use gems for?

[BitterRivals]

Boosting

[trevo45]

gemming troops/spells for war

Yup... I did the noob thing of buying stuff early on. Total waste of massive amount of gems.. Only boost barracks and heroes.. I wouldn't even boost spells. If you farm in the right way there is no need. You can easily raid enough for any upgrade right up to max xbows in a few days.

^This would be the way I would go.

I would boost, but whenever I do I am either interrupted, or I can't find any loot

I'm just saving them and finishing a few buildings here and there early. I think I'll boost a lot more in the summer though

[jto858]

I try to just boost but if I am sitting on a ton of loot I might gem the shortest time builder so I can spend that loot rather than have it get raided

[Bwit51]

Boosting all my collectors

[LOLduke]

Shields...

[Treborray]

I normally just boost with them

[TheMightyCats]

After you have 5 builders, what is the next BEST thing to spend your gems on? I was thinking of filling my gold storages or DE. Is that sensible? Barracks-boosting isn't all that expensive, let alone 1-gem collectors boost events. I'm a near maxed TH9 btw, thanks!

Sometimes in clan wars, you have to gem troops so you can use both attacks without running out of time. You could save gems for emergency situations when you need to gem troops in order to be able to use both attacks without running out of time.
