Gems and Guild Coins

The Gems / Coins settings decide what the bot is allowed to buy when it needs an item you don’t have. Nothing is bought unless you turn on Use Gems or Use Guild Coins and tick the item.

In the Account Window, open the Settings tab > Gems / Coins. The page has two groups: Guild Coins and Gems.

Guild Coins #

Option	What it does
Use Guild Coins	The master switch for spending guild coins. Nothing in this group is bought while it is off. Default: off.
Shield (8h)	Buys an 8-hour shield when the bot needs a shield and none is in the bag. Default: on.
Withdraw Squad	Buys a Withdraw Squad when the bot needs to recall a marching army and none is in the bag. Default: on.
Gathering Boost	Buys a 7-day gathering boost when Gathering Boost is on in General Settings and none is in the bag.
Food Boost, Stone Boost, Wood Boost, Ore Boost, Gold Boost	The same for the production boosts ticked in Turf Boosts in General Settings.
Buy VIP Points Up to Level:	Buys 100-point VIP items with guild coins until the account reaches this VIP level. 0 turns it off. Range 0-15. Default: 0.
Reserve Guild Coins	The bot never spends guild coins below this amount. Range 0-99,999,999. Default: 0.

The note (Guild Coins will be Prioritized over Gems) means that when an item can be bought with either (shield or Withdraw Squad), the bot uses guild coins first.

Gems #

Option	What it does
Use Gems	The master switch for spending gems. Nothing in this group is bought while it is off. Default: off.
Withdraw Squad	Buys a Withdraw Squad with gems when none is in the bag and guild coins can’t be used.
Shield >	Buys a shield with gems when none is in the bag and guild coins can’t be used. Pick the size in the list next to it: 8 Hours, 24 Hours, 3 Days, 7 Days, 14 Days or 12 Hours. Default: off, 8 Hours.
Gold Hammer, Steel Cuffs, Soul Crystal, Crystal Pickaxe, War Tome, Archaic Tome	Buys these items when a building upgrade or a research needs them and you don’t have enough. Default: only Gold Hammer on.
Reduce Upkeep (50%) / Reduce Upkeep (25%)	Buys a 7-day reduce-upkeep item when Reduce Upkeep is on in General Settings and none is in the bag. The label shows 25% or 50% to match the size you picked there.
Buy VIP Points Up to Level:	Buys 500-point VIP items with gems until the account reaches this VIP level. 0 turns it off. Range 0-15. Default: 0.

How shields are bought #

When the bot needs a shield (see Protection Settings):

1. It uses a shield from the bag.
2. If there is none, it buys an 8-hour shield with guild coins (Use Guild Coins and Shield (8h) on).
3. If it can’t, it buys the shield size picked next to Shield > with gems (Use Gems and Shield > on).

The Preferred Shield option in Protection Settings works differently: it can buy your preferred shield with gems whenever Use Gems is on, even when Shield > is off.

Other places that use these switches #

• Use Gems also lets the bot buy a Cabinet Expander when the gear cabinet is full and that option is on in Equipment Settings.
• Reserve Guild Coins is also respected by Guild Fest missions that spend guild coins.
