💎 Gems

Gems

Gems are Timelords' premium currency: the one thing you buy with real money and spend on ranks, permanent perks, cosmetic auras, custom armor, and boosters. Everything they buy is convenience or cosmetics; nothing that gates progression is behind them.

Overview #

Gems are the server's premium currency. You buy them from the webstore, and they land straight in your in-game balance. Unlike every other resource in the game, Gems are never generated by clicking or mining, and they never reset. No reset (Seconds, Chrono Dust, Time Leap, an Intelligence Generator wipe, or an Era reset) ever touches your Gems, your ranks, your perks, or your cosmetics. Once you own something bought with Gems, it's yours for good.

💰
Real-money purchases only ever grant convenience and cosmetics. You can't buy power that a free player can't reach by playing. Even the stat buffs on ranks and the Gems boosters are things the game hands out through normal progression.
💬
You can also earn a handful of Gems for free just by voting, no spending required.

Getting Gems #

There are two ways to add Gems to your balance:

💳

The Webstore

Run /buy (also /gems or /donate) and click through to the webstore in your browser. Purchased Gems appear on your balance immediately, ready to spend in-game.

🗳

Voting (free)

Use /vote to vote for the server on listing sites. Each vote grants 1–10 Vote Tokens, and the Vote Shop sells a Pouch of Gems (100 Vote Tokens → +50 Gems).

📜
On versions before 1.21.6, /buy sends clickable chat links instead of a dialog window: one to open the in-game store, one to open the webstore. Either way you reach the same two places: spend Gems in-game, buy Gems on the web.

Spending Gems #

Open the in-game store with /store (aliases /shop, /perks, /ranks) to browse everything Gems buy. The store is split into four categories:

CategoryWhat it holdsRead more
Ranks A single-held ladder granting a chat prefix plus permanent, toggleable stat buffs. Ranks
Upgrades Permanent one-time perks: ×2 Stats, Extra Warps, Custom Armor, and more. Store Perks
Boosters Timed potions that give a temporary boost while they last. Potions
Cosmetics Custom Armor skinning plus rotating premium auras that trail you as you play. Auras

Each store item shows its live Gems cost, whether you already own it, and (for ranks) any upgrade discount. When you buy something, the cost is deducted from your balance and the unlock sticks permanently.

💡
Cosmetic auras rotate. The Cosmetics page features 3 auras at a time, swapping every couple of days. Right-click an aura in the store to preview it on yourself before you buy. See Auras for the full picture.
