How to Get Free Diamonds in Evony: The King's Return

Evony: The King's Return is a strategy and empire-building game where Diamonds (also called Gems) are the premium currency: they speed up construction and research, buy VIP status, summon generals and let you push stats past the cap that gold alone allows. Unlike many other mobile games, Evony's Diamonds aren't completely locked behind a credit card: the game hands out sizeable amounts through daily quests, the World Boss, server events and alliance activity. It's not a currency that piles up on its own without effort, but an active, organized player can pull in several thousand a month without spending a cent. This guide covers the free methods that actually work, with approximate figures drawn from the community and the game's official guides, a table of the most reliable recurring sources, and an honest estimate of what you can expect to earn per month depending on how much time you put in.

What's the fastest way to get Diamonds in Evony: The King's Return?

We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Diamonds, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.

~200 Diamonds/day Daily

Daily quests (individual + alliance)

Every day you get two batches of tasks: 10 individual quests (gathering, training troops, healing wounded soldiers, etc.) that hand out 100 Diamonds when all are finished, and 5 alliance quests that hand out another 100 on completion. This is the most reliable source because it doesn't depend on luck or on competing against other players — just on logging in and playing a minimum each day. Set reminders so you don't miss a batch, since they don't roll over if the day resets before you complete them.

~150 Diamonds per march, up to ~600/day at VIP 5+ Daily

Gathering marches with Advanced Dispatch

From VIP level 5 onward you unlock Advanced Dispatch, which lets you send up to 4 resource-gathering marches that return Diamonds on top of the base resource once completed. Many players queue these up before going to bed and collect them in the morning. Managed well, this can add over 4,000 Diamonds a week, though it requires active VIP time (not just the level reached, but VIP time actually consumed) and generals with a gathering bonus.

Variable, based on damage dealt (from hundreds to several thousand per fight) Daily

World Boss

You can attack the World Boss up to 10 times a day, 6 days a week, and it pays out Diamonds based on the damage you deal relative to other participants on the server. Numbers circulating on forums mention up to 5,000 Diamonds per hit for top attackers, but that figure belongs to heavily developed accounts with high-level troops — an average player will earn considerably less per hit. Even so, it's one of the most profitable sources if you have strong troops and show up on active days.

~3,500 Diamonds/week Weekly

Monarch Competition

This is a weekly event with five phases (gathering, training, research, etc.) where completing or ranking well in each phase pays out Diamonds as a reward. You don't need to win the whole event — just actively participating in each phase is enough to build up rewards consistently. It's more predictable than the World Boss because rewards depend on your own targets, not just on comparing your damage to everyone else's.

Variable Daily

Alliance activities and donations

Joining an active alliance gives you access to rewards for taking part in alliance wars, donating resources to the alliance building, and completing the guild's collective goals. Many alliances hand out Diamonds or items redeemable for Diamonds to their top contributors. How much you get out of this depends entirely on how active your alliance is, so picking an organized alliance (not just a big one) makes a real difference.

Between ~8,000 and ~40,000 Diamonds according to community sources, split among all participants based on performance Every patch

Battle of Constantinople and limited-time server events

This large-scale event, along with other temporary server events, holds some of the biggest free rewards in the game. The high figures quoted in guides and forums refer to the total pot split among the server's top performers, not what each individual player receives. If your account isn't among the most developed, your actual share will be much smaller, but it's still a worthwhile one-off source if you prepare ahead of the combat phase.

Variable (grows with streak days) Daily

Consecutive login and server gifts

Keeping up a daily login streak earns VIP points and, at certain milestones, direct Diamonds through Server Gifts and reward calendars. The more consecutive days you log in, the bigger the reward for that day tends to be, though exact amounts vary by server season and no fixed value has been documented by reliable sources.

How much free Diamonds can you get per month?

Source	Estimated amount	Frequency
Daily quests (individual + alliance)	~200/day → ~6,000/month	Daily
Gathering marches with Advanced Dispatch (VIP 5+)	~4,200/week → ~16,800/month	Daily
Monarch Competition	~3,500/week → ~14,000/month	Weekly
World Boss	Variable, depends on account development	Daily
Battle of Constantinople / server events	Variable, one-off event	Every patch
Estimated total	~15,000-25,000 Diamonds per month for an active, organized free-to-play player (not counting the World Boss or big events, which depend heavily on account development)	—

This figure only adds up the most predictable sources (daily quests, Advanced Dispatch marches and the Monarch Competition); the World Boss and events like the Battle of Constantinople can add quite a bit more, but they vary so much by account level and server activity that giving them a fixed number wouldn't be honest. It requires active VIP status and consistent play; without Advanced Dispatch (VIP below 5) the figure drops considerably.

Frequently asked questions

Are Evony's Diamonds really free, or do I have to pay eventually?

You can get meaningful amounts for free by playing consistently (daily quests, gathering, events and alliance play), but there's no way to match what a paying player gets. It's a premium currency with genuine free routes, not just window dressing: use them to speed up your progress without relying on payment, but don't expect to compete with heavily monetized accounts on these sources alone.

How long will it take to get enough Diamonds to summon a general or make a specific upgrade?

It depends on the cost of what you're after, but as a reference, an active player with VIP 5 or higher can build up between 15,000 and 25,000 Diamonds a month just from recurring sources (quests, gathering and the Monarch Competition), not counting one-off events that can speed things up considerably if your account is well developed.

Is it worth using free Diamond generators or third-party sites for Evony?

No. Sites and apps that promise unlimited free Diamonds are scams or attempts to steal your credentials: Evony has no vulnerability that lets you generate premium currency from outside the game. Any search result advertising a 'hack' or 'generator' for Diamonds should be treated as fraud, not a valid method.
