Dark Tower Free Gems and Daily Rewards: Calendar, Quests and Shop
ONI Games · Published
Every way to get free gems, gold and crystals in Dark Tower: Idle Villain TD: the seven-day login calendar, the three daily quests and their bonus, free gems in the shop, the idle vault and the Abyss, what to spend gems on, and an honest look at what the shop sells.
Dark Tower: Idle Villain TD gives gems away every day: 10 gems in the shop every three hours for an optional video, 5 to 10 gems for each of the three daily quests and 20 more for finishing all three, gems on days 2 and 5 of the login calendar, 3 or more gems an hour in the idle vault and 4 gems every ten waves deep in the Abyss. The login calendar also hands out gold, crystals and a free relic chest every seventh day.
We make Dark Tower, so every number in this guide comes from the game's code.
The 7-day login calendar
The calendar opens after your first battle. Claim one day each day; it turns over at your local midnight, and a missed day does not reset it.
| Day | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1 | 300 gold |
| 2 | 10 gems |
| 3 | 10 crystals |
| 4 | 800 gold |
| 5 | 20 gems |
| 6 | 25 crystals |
| 7 | A free relic chest |
The gold days grow with your world: three times as much in world 2, nine times in world 3, and so on.
Daily quests
Three quests a day, picked from these, with targets that grow with your best wave (below 15, 15 to 39, 40 and up):
| Quest | Targets | Gems |
|---|---|---|
| Defeat enemies | 250 / 500 / 800 | 8 |
| Reach a wave | 10 / 20 / 30 | 8 |
| Defeat bosses | 1 / 2 / 3 | 10 |
| Choose Dark Powers | 3 / 5 / 8 | 6 |
| Cast spells | 3 / 5 / 8 | 6 |
| Buy upgrades in battle | 15 / 30 / 50 | 5 |
| Buy Factory upgrades | 3 / 5 / 8 | 6 |
| Collect the idle reward | 1 | 5 |
| Start a Lab research | 1 | 8 |
| Open a relic chest | 1 | 10 |
| Play battles | 2 / 3 / 4 | 6 |
Finish all three and claim a 20-gem bonus. The boss, spell, Lab and relic quests only appear once those features are open. Abyss waves do not count for the wave quest.
More free gems
- The shop: 10 free gems every three hours for an optional video.
- The idle vault: 3 gems an hour in world 1, one more per hour in each later world, for up to 4 hours (longer with the Idle Vault research and the Hourglass of Ages relic).
- The Abyss: 4 gems and 8 crystals every ten waves past 50. See our Abyss guide.
- Gem Hunter: an epic Dark Card that gives each kill up to a 1.5% chance to drop a gem.
What to spend gems on
| Item | Gems |
|---|---|
| Relic chest | 30 |
| Lucky Chest: gold worth half to one and a half of a battle, plus 1 to 8 gems | 20 |
| 40 tower crystals | 60 |
| A revive | 5 |
| Finishing a Lab research now | 7 for 5 minutes left, 24 for an hour, 114 for a day |
Relic chests are usually the best use: relics are permanent and grow with every copy. Our Dark Lab and relics guide has the odds.
