Gems are a scarce resource which are required for performing block chain transactions. This includes activities such as minting items to your wallet using the Etherforge and purchasing account upgrades. Currently they can only be acquired by completing daily and weekly [achievements](https://whitepaper.etherscape.io/gameplay/achievements).&#x20;
