You guys rock!!!!! I can't try to breed an Emerald because I just got Crystal and now waiting for her to hatch so I appreciate the gems SO MUCH xo <3

Good, glad you are getting lots of gems. Just wanted you to know these are gift gems that you don't need to return. Hope you get enough to buy out some of those longer breeds, allowing you more attempts. koala!

Hi Pixie, thank you for your post-- just a question, I only have 2 more days to get the Emerald dragon right? Or is that just how long the deal on it lasts? I was thinking the gems were so I could buy the emerald because it leaves in 2 days but now you have me thinking maybe it stays all month. I guess I was under the assumption that people were gifting me gems to spend 150 on buying the emerald but you suggest I use them how? I don't quite understand what you mean by buying out some of the longer breeds..sorry, this is all so new to me..thanks!
Nance, no these gems are a gift to help you get the emerald any way you want. Emerald is the birthstone for May and will be available all month. The deal, however, only lasts for a couple days. We do not expect you to spend the gems to buy the dragon, but you can if you want. As you say, it is much more enjoyable to get the dragon by breeding. You only had a few gems, but speeding up fails will help you be able to breed more times. Therefore, we are giving you gems so that you have the option to speed things up when you want. There aren't really many rules attached to a gem shower. I guess the one rule would be keep going for emerald until you get one, whether you decide to buy it or breed it. If you have other questions, let us know.
By the way, my ruby dragons recently flew over your park and dropped a gem. You might as well keep it, although you might want to pick it up with gloves.
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

Eew! Yuck! The least you could do is wipe them first Wapatango.
I have sent some over too, but mine have been thoroughly washed, then wrapped carefully in gum leaves. Don't throw away the gum leaves. It is a well known fact that these attract koala. They also serve to cushion the gem's fall so no dragons will be harmed if they miss the clear space beside the breeding cave.
Just to summarize the rules for a gem shower
Gems are a gift. No need or expectation that they will be returned
The recipient can do whatever she wants with them
It is expected that the recipient nominate a goal, and try for it for the duration of the shower. Sometimes the goal is set by the nominator.
The gem shower continues until either the goal is met, the goal can no longer be met (eg the dragon leaves the market) or another more worthy recipient is nominated, or the recipient opts out.
It is expected that the recipient informs this thread when the goal is met.
It is hoped that the recipient will join in future showers. But participation is always voluntary.
Feedback on progress ( or lack of it) is appreciated
Just to keep it in the same place: To start a shower, any member can nominate any other member. Self nomination is frowned on. A staff member will then activate the shower and change the title of the thread to reflect the current nominee.

Wapa and Greg have filled you in on all the ins and outs of a Gem Shower. We just want to help. Whether you buy, or breed is up to you. Let us know how you are doing from time to time.
Ok thank you so much! I would like to breed an emerald as it just seems more rewarding but it's also hard to pass up such a good deal! I will let you all know-- I'm up to over 50 gems now thanks to you guys!!
It is your decision to make, neither is right or wrong for the Gem Shower, only in what is right for your style of game play. We will be happy to help either way.
Just letting everyone participating in my gem shower know I just bred crystal and lichen for the first time (just hatched my first crystal)..alas, no luck yet... but that would have been asking a lot on the first try-- -was hoping!! ✨thank you again to all of you dropping gems my way✨ I'm determined to get that shiny green emerald one way or another!!
