The Ultimate Gem Guide (2023) | Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links 

9:46

I thought Konami removed Duel Quizzes because they were preparing to give players a better way of obtaining gems, but I was so wrong about it. 😂

It broke my heart when I noticed the Duel Quizes were gone 😢 all of those sweet gems just gone

Rewatching this video again, hope you’re doing well homie. This channel was SO helpful after taking a 3 year break from Duel links and starting my account from scratch. Now I have a bunch of my characters maxed out, and have some decent Cyberse, Hero, and Blue eyes decks (cause they literally gave away the blue eyes one lmao). Anyway IMPORTANT POINT, when you up your stage level all the regular duelists respawn! This is incredibly helpful, and you can use this just for exp or tactically use it to upgrade many different stages basically at the same time. I have maxed out two of the world all ready, so yeah it helps lol. I’ve only been playing for like 2 months.

Day 1 player here, I just came back to Duel Links after I quit it after 2 years of playing, the game became a bit harder but its still so fun and unique, I dont know much what to do and what boxes I should go for so I hope you do a video talking about something like this , thank you for this video it was really fun to watch it even tho I already knew most of these things since the system didnt change that much. (I already hit King of games back then so now im scaring the newbie players with my icon and some unexpected decks haha)

a "strategy" that I use to preserve the gems on my account is to NEVER farm the characters when I'm not building any decks (even because our gems expire), so I just farm the gems of events/ranked, and when I want to build a deck, usually I'll have 9999 gems on the counter, which are the event gems, and if I need more gems, I finally farm the characters. Of course, you can do this smartly by leaving your characters with little XP to level up to the next level that gives gems, which optimizes your time.

I learned all of this on my own 2 months in but it's always nice to be on top of the new information

I just noticed I have over 2000 of those blue orbs. I just don't have the time to sit and click the autoplay so much during the day. I also always ignored the vagabond. Your tips helped me

man I swear you make the best content lately like I literally look out for your videos every other day

I just wanna say, you're probably the only DL player I still watch. Keep up the great work, rly love your content!

Thanks for this considering it gives us better perspective on the life time value of an account and how many decks a person could make by grinding alone

Thank you for the detailed guide 🙏

Love this channel This has nothing to do with the video but the character unlock ticket I didnt even realize was in the game until this Thanks!!!

i remember hearing someone say in a video years ago that getting your duel monsters stage missions all finished makes you get better rewards from events but i don't know if that's still true or not. i think it's definitely the most worthwhile of all the worlds to do stage missions in since you get other rewards like mats and sleeves themed to monsters from that world which is fun to me

Cheers for a bit of insight into dl mate you just gave me a few ideas

I subscribed keep up the good work my guy

Good job 👍

As a Duel Links player named kidnamedToe Thank you I just spent mine on the selection 06 volume and I need that joker deck

As someone who just got back in after a hiatus, thanks for the help and encouragement

Petition to add auto duel at the gate🥹Pls konami

11:38 Same bro the Black-wings players were making me crazy

The Ultimate Gem Grind 💎

I dont think the original needed an update becase it was great. Still watch it from time to time. Been good watching your content for a year, time sure flies.

Im new i love your videos even your discord is amazing and people too and i just love and like your videos from now on i will be here i hope forever ❤️👍😇

as a free to play player fucking thanks, this video makes me so much more optimistic about having to spend money. I wish farming wasn’t so stupid. Summon a god card, play shiny cards, do 10000 damage, activate a spell and trap and do every extra deck summon. bonus for having few life points or 3 to 0 cards left in your deck.

It's been awhile. Sigh been waiting for this forever thanks Ghost stop ghosting us. Pls post more often my friend

Thank you for the very informative video. I am a fairly new sub but I have enjoyed every single one of your videos. Keep up the great work 😊

The DSOD event was great for farming for the rewards Just put bunch of High Level monsters that can be normal summoned in dimension duel and let the auto duel normal Summon Blue Eyes. It takes time but i maxed out Aigami thanks of the event for last 3 levels. If someone want to farm at the gate some cards,build a Stall Montage Dragon with Draw Sense:Earth skill. Just add a bunch of high level monsters and many copies of Montage Dragon and add some card that stops a direct attack like Kiteroid,and don't forget about "anti magic attack" spell(idk how is called,is that SR quick play spell that activates at the start of the battle phase and doesn't allow the set traps/spells to be activated ).

I quit duel links a year ago and forgot to save my progress, the onlt deck i remembered how to play was a gimmick puppet deck and i spent all my tickets and gems investing into darkness gimmick. Now i need gems to make an even stupider destiny board deck, thank you!

It's here 🙏

Love the video, and it makes you realize that Konami has a hard on for DM world and leaves the other ones behind. I wish it wasn’t as painful to grind the levels for characters. I mean instead of a 1.5xp bonus they should slap us with a sexy 2x or 3x xp campaign

Don’t forget each week the ranked duels rewards reset which is basically rewards for just participating in it.

God I wish I knew this when I first started. This and your box reviews can be really helpful for any new players. Great content as always bro

Not sure how true this is for everyone or how reliable of a method this is, but.... ive noticed if you lose your first duel against the vagabond, he will spawn immediately afterwards giving you one more shot at the full EXP. This may be common knowledge im not sure. Just picked up on it a while ago. Anyways great video! Even us dusty old players had some stuff to learn it seems.

Not a bad guide. Here's a free tip from both a P2W from the early days and Gem Baron these days: Nox. If you don't use Duel Links a lot on a physical phone this emulator not only plays games much better than most mobiles but did you know you make backups and then use those to re-roll? You can't do that in Master Drool hell for trying to uninstall the alt it will take out your main game file. XD Using this system I can take the bad pulls from a box and just etch-a-sketch-shake to get what I want and this has helped me make some fun styles of beginning almost like how to speed runners do for games. I once thought of making a guide on that but I'm glad I didn't since the Quiz nerfs. Though some of my best deck strats still stand: When you only have two tickets and a few months to use them wait and watch what people play in rank. If you see a certain staple coming up a lot like for example Needle Ceiling probably won't hurt to waste the UR on that. Also the Red Eyes Structure is still pretty GOATed and should get you through not only the base missions but can still sweep people on ladder and is good to build around and learn the game with while piling up gems. Get a nice base, make a back up if you're on Nox and then you have a nice re-roll machine for later. Honestly people who throw DL away to go play Master Drool make my head hurt when the game has CAPPED GEMS and unlike DL if you lose you get literally nothing. Worthless game.

Orbs are not totally useless after you've leveled up all characters. I use them to farm double the gate keys when that multiplier event comes up.

Thx you

Thanks

Probably unpopular opinion: If the game wasn't this grindy, it would be the best Yu-Gi-Oh game

Well im out of duel orbs to get keys and im out of keys to duel the gate, is my only option to play ranked now?

hi, i'm a beginner. all i got is the yami yugi deck the game starts out with. should i stay on stage 2 and just grind for a while and collect gems, coins & and gate keys or should i just do the stage missions and fly right through til i get to lvl 45?

POG

Here and ready to watch king

This is not a game, its a job

Will the winged dragon of ra ever be able to obtain again?

Bro Crowler's name in 2:03 💀🤣🤣

found this video while searching why number 27's effect is not working. might as well ask while I am here. I had its effect working yesterday on bronk while using a cyber dragon deck but when i try on say yuma with and without his skill it wont work i beat the monster with number 27 and end my turn but the option to use its effect does not show up. please help and thx

Old video, I know, but have you ever had maxed out duel assessment reward items (like jewels or gold) in your account while still dueling? I'm wondering if you have the max R jewels for example (99,999), do you still get R jewel drops at random from duels? Does the system recognise you've maxed out on those and give other rewards from the pool?

nice

i will grind grind and grind

Forgot to add that the Vagabond exp varies depending on the difficulty level of its deck, Legend (hardest) gives you more exp than Bronze (weakest). You gained a new subscriber btw

The only reason I didn't use the duel quizzes was chz I wanted to save em I started playing again last month and poof when I looked they were gone 😞

ohboi i love grinding gems for 2 months just to open 1 main box

Is there any chance for Number 56 (Galaxy-eyes ) cause I am a galaxy-eyes player

"If you need gems and you have a lot of duel orbs..." Define "a lot." I honestly feel like I never have enough duel orbs, which will probably be a dead statement by the end of 2023. Jokes aside, I'm still waiting on the non-existent event unlock ticket that will never exist. My imagination is a terrifying location for ideas that will never make it into reality, but I unlocked every character before the character unlock ticket was first introduced. I'm keeping the dream alive anyway since there is one particular event I missed out on that I wish I could do and I will be playing until the game dies. Who knows what will be introduced in the future? As far as the guide goes, I wish I knew about reward multipliers earlier. I didn't really need to learn about them at first since I was too busy trying to unlock characters and making it harder than it actually was to do it. I've purposely slacked off on stage missions though to keep standard duelists easy to auto-duel against. Though, are you serious? Only DM goes past stage level 30? I guess that's something I would know already if I wasn't slacking on the stage missions. And, as much as I say I'm slacking off, non-DM worlds being capped at stage level 30 doesn't make me look that lazy. There's even one world or two that is stage 30 by technicality. If I'd collect the stage mission rewards, they'd be maxed out from the sound of things.

If u finish a stage, the normal duelist resets

I don t why i subscribed but i just did it

I wanna say there is another way to refill your standard duelist without orbs. I keep the missions lower on other series and when I run out I go and finish up an easy stage. The level up refills them. I am trying to figure out what the dollar value of a gem is if anyone knows?

Kamikazi decks for PVP if you're desperate in grinding(out of keys)

Yeah there is a lot of gems in DL, but it takes so much time😢

I didn't play during the last DSOD event, does someone know when eill it come out again? :')

You kinda forgot to add whenever you complete a stage mission it refreshes the amount of standard duelist in your world so you won't need to use up your duel orbs to reset them.

Hello Nice Video Hows it going for you? anyways keep it up // Adam

I almost never level up my characters beyond level 34 after that it’s just not efficient

My dude what about the replays?

I played for like 3 years without knowing about reward multipliers, fuck me thats a lot of time i wasted lol

Honestly, i wish that i could experience Duel links from the start again with all the knowledge i have now.. lately Duel links hasn't been much fun for me, i think just the crawl towards the half off gems and dream tickets along with grinding characters to lvl 45 is what's kinda killing it for me. I wish there was a way to sort of time travel back to day one, since i got into it at the very start of 5DS era, kinda got uninterested up and down throughout the game.. next i had picked it up was in the DSOD world era, which i liked but it just felt too hard to get into so i eventually left it again. I think around the ArcV era i got way more interested and i haven't stopped being interested since it began, and i've been playing pretty much ever since. But i really wish i experienced the game back then, because i missed out on so much limited time stuff that'll probably never get put out again :( Another thing i've been thinking of is maybe also having a 2nd account and playing completely from scratch with that but.. don't know if i'm entirely up for that but sounds fun to start off at least

My big bro had done all characters

Friend, how can I summon a monster in a different row or column? it always start in the middle column

Gimme back my challenges Konami so I can start a new account and get to 9999 gems on day 1 😂 I really regret not completing all those missions now 🤦‍♂️

Every gem i get i spend it on future circuit for firewall dragon and i still have not pulled him

Can you show your stats? Click on the person icon and you can show us

Cool youtube man

6:37 i have close to 4k duel orbs that I don't really use unless a character has a great amounts of level up gems then im all in or level up the stage with gate duels so i DON'T have to use my duel orbs 😂😂😂😂

Why’d they get rid of the free duel quiz gems? 😮

The sequel because yes?

YOOOO

Just putting this Here in case anyone reads it. Dinomist was a very good Deck to invest in and I think is underrated. It’s very fast as a farming deck and can get u pretty high in Ranked. Also remember that Spinos’s effect isn’t a once per turn. P.S: All the cards for it are SR and under and the whole Main deck is in Forces Of Infinity. For extra deck it’s optional But it can get u out of bad situations sometimes.

With the exception of Girag from the Zexal series (currently resting at level 27), I have all characters unlocked and max level.

Is world chalice a good deck cz im tired of grinding i need a cheap deck

I wait xp ubdate and i will give 500+ orbs like last time i did

POV Konami saying f u to new players trying to get gems for cards 😢

Number 26?

I've been playing since GX and I've only ever maxed out Yubel (45) 💀 Yubel is my go-to main but lately been trying out the Rose Dragon girl with my unbeatable aromage deck that no one is ever prepared for so they lose effortlessly in Legend 😂

Norentino KEKW

Hi

how to unlock every character guide when?

I have 5100 duel orbs i dont use idk why

Thanks for the info. The game is still better than Master Duel :)

If only gate had auto duel... where is the mastermind who will create an ai which can auto duel while we are... you know... doing something completely legal :)

Maths

Lol 🤣 sad now I really got time to do em they poof gone.

3:49 Yeah you must have No life, No schooling, No job, No dreams, and No goals to do that in a short time 😂😂😂😂

Who the hell is spending months to get all those characters to lev 30

This game was so much better back in the day.... I hate the "new' Yu-Gi-Oh... Way too much to learn and it's now all about how to win in one turn... Takes the fun out of dueling. And what happened with the voice actors???? They aren't there anymore. It's sad to see this game fall by the waist side.

Why u guys still playing even tho we saw how Konami can be f2p with MD and instead of improving DL they keep bury it over and over
