Gems



Gems are a form of in-game currency that is used for purchases at the Market (as opposed to the Item Store). The difference between gems and gold or silver coins is that the main method of acquiring gems is by purchasing them with real money.

Gems are the primary method through which the HabitRPG developers receive financial support. In return for your generosity, you receive a certain number of Gems.

Players may also earn gems through two other means, both of which require a significant time investment: All methods of obtaining gems are designed to support HabitRPG and improve the overall user experience.
 * 1) Winning challenges that award gems as a prize
 * 2) As a contributor reward by helping the development of HabitRPG

Gem Uses
Gems can be used to purchase the following rewards: You may also use them as prizes in any challenges you create.
 * Eggs
 * Hatching Potions
 * Food
 * Saddles (to upgrade a pet to a mount immediately)
 * Avatar Skins
 * Fortify (although this use is highly discouraged)
 * Guild creation (creating a new guild costs four gems)
 * Certain quest scrolls.

Buying Gems


Enter the Options screen (direct link ). You do not have to select any particular tab. Hover your mouse over the Gems button and a plus sign ('+') will appear.

Click on the '+'. Select the method via which you wish to pay $5 ($US) for 20 gems. Currently, you can only buy 20 gems at a time, no more, no less. Purchases can be made with an American credit card, or through PayPal. Follow the on-screen instructions for the payment option you have selected. Voila! You now have 20 more gems, in addition to disabling ads and supporting the developers.

Troubleshooting Gem Purchases
If you encounter an issue that results in a loss of Gems or disrupted a credit card payment, contact admin@habitrpg.com with whatever information you can supply about the lost transaction.
