Whether you're aiming for the Prismatic Ruby Squid or the dazzling Diamond Panther, this egg is your ticket to building a truly elite pet lineup.

Why the Gem Egg Is So Valuable

The Gem Egg is often considered a Prismatic or Divine-tier egg due to the pets it can produce. Here’s why players are chasing it:

Top-Tier Pets Inside

You’ll find a range of gem-based creatures, including:

  • Emerald Snake (Legendary)

Game-Changing Traits

Some pets offer unique abilities, like the Topaz Snail, which can generate Cleansing Pet Shards—an essential resource for enhancing pets at higher levels.

How to Get the Gem Egg (All Current Methods)

Unlike limited-time event eggs, the Gem Egg has several permanent ways to obtain it. Some require time, others resources, and some—well, Robux.

1. Smithing Event Crafting Method (Best F2P Option)

Thanks to the Smithing Update, you can craft a Gem Egg using the new Pet Crafting Station.

How to Do It:

Find the Pet Crafting Station:

Head to the main island’s Smithing area, near the giant furnace and the Blacksmith Smith NPC.

Gather the required materials:

  • 1× Common Egg (from the Pet Eggs Shop)
  • 3× Common Coal
  • 1 Million Sheckles

Crafting the Coal:

Common Coal is created by throwing Fruits, Eggs, and Gears into the central furnace. The rarity of what you submit determines the rarity of the coal you get.

Begin Crafting:

Place all materials into the Pet Crafting Station and pay the fee. The Gem Egg takes about 10 minutes to finish.

2. Treasure Digging Event

If you enjoy RNG, this method might pay off.

How it works:

Dig squares in a 5×5 grid for prizes. The Gem Egg has a 5.43% chance of dropping.

Cost:

  • 1 free dig every 5 minutes
  • Restarting the board costs 1 Trillion Sheckles or 59 Robux

3. Buy It From Raphael’s Pet Eggs Shop

Sometimes, the Gem Egg appears directly in Raphael’s rotating stock near the Gear Shop.

Important:

  • High rarity means it shows up very rarely
  • The shop refreshes every 30 minutes
  • Many players use Discord stock alerts to catch it in time

4. Purchase With Robux

The fastest route—especially if you want multiple Gem Eggs quickly.

Gem Egg Packs:

  • Single Gem Egg – 149 Robux
  • Bundle of 3 Gem Eggs – 429 Robux
  • Bundle of 10 Gem Eggs – 1,249 Robux
