I have never earned gems for simulating games, since that I never really believed simulating games was a big deal. I have earned my gems by working hard on the levels and earning them every month. I also don’t get a question of the day anymore I also think this a bug and should be fixed as you can see ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/codecombat/original/2X/9/97a0e4831b1f9b49a9ecaed9af0c2bad185feec7.png)  
I want this to work I haven’t found anything like this in topics. I have gotten ladderville pop-ups

Okay, you are not quite making sense right now…

Your title is Not Earning Simulation Gems, but you spend most of this topic talking about how you earn your gems and asking about a different topic. What, exactly, is the point of this topic?

I can’t earn simulation gems and don’t know how to do simulation matches.

You simulate games by going to any ladder on a multiplayer game and clicking the button that says “Simulate”. You update the number of gems you have earned by clicking the speaker button multiple times.

In the top right corner of your screenshot, there is a sound speaker button thing. Click it multiple times. Eventually, the achievement should show up.

Okay so now how do I earn simulation gems, if that is a thing I don’t know.

You earn gems for simulating games . . . same kind of gems as when you complete a level…

As for “how” has already been answered…

It has a chance to update every so many interactions, like playing levels, etc. Clicking the speaker control is just the fastest way to generate these interactions…

The multiplayer “ladder games” are the ones where you compete against other players, such as: Cavern Survival (dungeon), Dueling Grounds (forest), Multiplayer Treasure Grove (forest), etc. There is currently at least one in every world-region (Dungeon through Mountain). You get to the “ladder” page, usually, by clicking on the level on the map and selecting “Scores”. You only need to simulate in one so pick one and go for it. (Games simulated doesn’t care which level you are on (for “count of simulations” or “level to simulate”.)

If you want to know how many gems, well **Search!!** , um, I mean, check out this post… 😊

> I’ve finally gotten simulating ladder games for gems and exp working, so if you’re just shy of that piece of gear you need, go on over to a multiplayer ladder and hit the simulate tab, then start simulating. Or just leave a tab or two open on this link: You earn 20x0.4 gems and exp from simulating, where x is the number of games simulated, so you can snag a few hundred gems pretty quickly, but it will slow down a bit as you simulate more and more games. If you eventually simulate millions of …

No, it gives you more as you progress through the simulations. I’m on 90,000 and I’ve got about 1700 gems. It only gives you one achievement, and that only shows you your total gems you’ve received but you should still receive more because it gets updated.  
I hope this makes sense.

A post showing the formula to see how many gems you will earn based on your simulated games and where to see how many you have received.

> No, 263 is not a lot to get the gems you want. I have over 500,000 simulations for the 3800 gems. That brown bar is from the Achievements section in the game in the bottom right corner, the trophy when you are in the maps. With your 263 games, you should have about 185 gems. The formula is below. 20 \* games^0.4 (^ = power), so games to the power of 0.4 multiplied by 20 [Achievements] Have you beaten all of the regular levels in the game? Another good way to get gems is maxing out the re-p…
