Emeralds are the game’s premium currency, and some stories can become quite expensive, especially if you’re pursuing multiple romance routes.
are the game’s premium currency, and some stories can become quite expensive, especially if you’re pursuing multiple romance routes.Lucky for us, there are multiple ways to earn free emeralds, including watching ads, completing chapters, collecting daily rewards and much more.
We understand that building a substantial balance takes time and patience. But it’s entirely possible to enjoy your favourite stories as a free-to-play (F2P) player. Here’s how to make the most of the game’s rewards system.
All ways to earn free emeralds in League of Dreamers
Section titled “All ways to earn free emeralds in League of Dreamers”Before we get into the details, here’s a quick overview of the available rewards.
| Method | Emerald rewards |
|---|---|
| Watching ads | +2 per ad |
| Dreamer’s Roulette | Min +5 per spin, one free spin and one ad spin |
| Daily login | Increasing rewards for consecutive logins |
| First chapter of a story (first time only) | +15 |
| Completing a new chapter (first time only) | +2 , and +2 if you watch an ad |
| Completing a book of the story (first time only) | +15 , and +2 if you watch an ad |
| Completing an entire story (first time only) | +101 |
| Replaying chapters | +2 per chapter, if you watch an ad |
| Completing jigsaw puzzles | +10 per puzzle |
| Promo codes | Varies |
| Free to play events | Varies |
Watch advertisements regularly
Section titled “Watch advertisements regularly”If you watch ads often, this can be one of the best ways to collect emeralds. Each ad rewards you with +2 emeralds, and the game allows you up to four ads to accumulate at once, giving you +8 emeralds for watching a full stack.
However, there is a useful trick to maximise these rewards.
The ad recharge timer changes depending on how many ads you’ve watched from the stack. When it’s full and you watch the first ad, it takes one hour to replenish back to the full stack. If you watch more ads from the stack the timer becomes shorter, meaning that if you watch all 4, you only have to wait 30 minutes for the next ad to become available.
Our recommendation is to check the game every 30 minutes, instead of waiting for the full stack to replenish. You can set a timer or turn on notifications for the game to get reminders when your ad is ready to be viewed. This way, you can take advantage of the shorter recharge time and collect more emeralds throughout the day.
Spin Dreamer’s Roulette every day
Section titled “Spin Dreamer’s Roulette every day”Dreamer’s Roulette is another easy way to earn guaranteed +10 emeralds without spending anything. Every day, you get one free spin, with an opportunity to watch an ad for a second free spin.
The lowest emerald prize is +5 emeralds per spin. Most free spins tend to land on this reward, but you might occasionally be lucky and get more emeralds, keys or an outfit.
So even with the lowest rewards, that’s additional +10 emeralds per day from your two spins.
If your goal is to save emeralds, we recommend not spending currency on wheel-exclusive outfits, as this can drain your currency quickly.
Collect your daily login rewards
Section titled “Collect your daily login rewards”Don’t forget to open the game every day, even if you don’t have time to read any chapters.
League of Dreamers rewards consecutive daily logins with free emeralds and keys, and the rewards increase as you maintain your login streak.
The longer you consistently log in, the more valuable these rewards become. Missing a day can make you lose your progress, so it’s worth opening the app just to collect your daily bonus.
Keys are only awarded on milestone days, for example: on day 14, day 50 and so on.
Earn emeralds by completing stories and chapters
Section titled “Earn emeralds by completing stories and chapters”Reading stories in the app can help you to replenish your emeralds too. League of Dreamers offers several rewards for progressing through stories.
Here are the rewards for completing stories, books and chapters for the first time:
| Emerald rewards | For |
|---|---|
| +15 | Completing the first chapter of a story for the first time |
| +2 , and another +2 if you watch an ad | Completing a previously unread chapter |
| +15 , and +2 if you watch an ad | Completing a book of a story for the first time |
| +101 | Completing an entire story for the first time |
Replay stories to earn more emeralds
Section titled “Replay stories to earn more emeralds”You can also earn emeralds by replaying chapters you’ve already completed. Finishing a chapter again gives you the opportunity to watch an ad for +2 emeralds.
You can revisit stories and routes you’ve already played using your free keys. We recommend not spending any emeralds for those playthroughs. If you don’t want to read or don’t have enough time, you can just click through the chapter quickly without reading it, just be careful not to accidentally click on any premium choices.
Complete jigsaw puzzles for free emeralds
Section titled “Complete jigsaw puzzles for free emeralds”Another way to earn emeralds is through the game’s jigsaw puzzle mini-game.
Each puzzle can be unlocked by watching 10 ads. There is a 5-minute cooldown timer after watching 5 ads in a row. After that you can watch another 5 ads. Once you’ve unlocked and completed the puzzle, you’ll receive +10 emeralds as a reward.
The growing collection of puzzles means that there is a substantial amount of additional currency available for players willing to put in the time.
We recommend unlocking puzzles gradually while doing something else, as watching ten ads for a single puzzle can feel tedious.
Redeem League of Dreamers promo codes
Section titled “Redeem League of Dreamers promo codes”The developers regularly share promotional codes that can reward players with free emeralds, keys and occasionally exclusive outfits.
These codes are often announced through the game’s official social media accounts, such as their official VK, and are also shared by players in English-speaking communities such as Reddit.

Take advantage of Free-to-Play events
Section titled “Take advantage of Free-to-Play events”League of Dreamers occasionally holds special events that allow players to enjoy premium choices without spending emeralds.
One of these is the story Free-to-Play event, typically lasting around 72 hours, during which premium story choices in selected completed story becomes free. All unlocked premium choices remain free after the event has ended.
These events are a good opportunity to experience stories you’ve been saving for, unlock romantic scenes and explore different choices without worrying about your emerald balance.
More recently, League of Dreamers introduced its first Emerald Euphoria event to celebrate the game’s fifth anniversary. Running from 31 October to 3 November 2026, this special event made emerald choices across all stories free for 72 hours.
There has been no official confirmation of when or whether another Emerald Euphoria event or story Free-to-Play event might take place, so we recommend keeping an eye on the developers’ announcements and community updates.
If there is an ongoing event and you don’t have a lot of time to read or play, or have a lot of keys saved up, you can always use the click-through method to get as many free choices as possible during the event and then replay the stories at your own pace at a later time.
How to spend fewer emeralds in League of Dreamers
Section titled “How to spend fewer emeralds in League of Dreamers”Earning emeralds is only half the challenge. Knowing when to spend them is just as important. Here are our recommendations for making your emeralds last longer.
Avoid unnecessary wardrobe purchases
Section titled “Avoid unnecessary wardrobe purchases”This is one of the easiest ways to save your emeralds. Many wardrobe choices are purely cosmetic, so we suggest avoiding spending them on outfits, hairstyles, accessories and makeup, unless they provide a stat improvement or influence the story.
If you really dislike the free options, consider purchasing just one outfit or hairstyle you really like. After future wardrobe changes, you can return to your wardrobe and dress your main character in the items you’ve already purchased.
This allows you to enjoy a preferred look without paying for new cosmetics every time the game offers them.
Focus on one romance route at a time
Section titled “Focus on one romance route at a time”As tempting as it might be to romance every love interest, we recommend focusing on one character per playthrough. Premium romantic interactions are often the most expensive choices, so doing that for multiple characters can become very expensive quite quickly. Once you replenish your balance, you can always replay the story later to explore another character’s route and then try romancing multiple characters at once.
Use stories you’re less interested in to earn emeralds
Section titled “Use stories you’re less interested in to earn emeralds”Consider using the emerald mining trick. If you have stories you have no interest in, or you’re not ready to read them yet, we recommend playing them without spending any emeralds at all in order to get all the rewards for reading the story for the first time. This will allow you to save currency for the characters and stories you’re actually interested in.
Prioritise choices that actually matter
Section titled “Prioritise choices that actually matter”Not every premium choice is equally important.
Some unlock additional dialogue or cosmetic changes, while others can improve relationships, increase stats or influence important story outcomes.
If you’re trying to save emeralds, it’s worth checking which choices have meaningful consequences before spending your currency.
Our League of Dreamers walkthroughs include premium choice costs, stat changes, relationship improvements and other important outcomes to help you decide where your emeralds are best spent.
Is League of Dreamers free-to-play friendly?
Section titled “Is League of Dreamers free-to-play friendly?”League of Dreamers isn’t necessarily the most generous romance visual novel app when it comes to premium currency, if you consider the cost of some romantic scenes, outfits and important story choices. But its reward system does provide several opportunities to earn emeralds without spending real money.
It requires time, patience and a little dedication.
