During your adventure you will acquire a small amount of emeralds for completing battles and quests. To get more Emeralds you can always purchase them with real money by either tapping on the 'Shop' button in Emerald City or by tapping the '+' besides your Emeralds on the top bar where you have the choice of several different packages. Another way to get Emeralds is to visit the Emerald Tree in the City Hub in Emerald City. The Emerald Tree is a friendly denizen of Oz who grows Emeralds instead of leaves and once every 24 hours you can tap on him to harvest the Emeralds. After collecting them, a timer will begin counting down to show the next time you’ll be able to collect more emeralds.
