How to Farm Radiant Gems: All 9 Elements and Best Sources

Radiant Gems are the fuel behind Pal Awakening — collect 50 of an element's gems and you can craft that element's Awakening Crystal. There are nine flavors, one per element, and each drops from a specific roster of high-end Pals of that element, on top of a shared World Tree loot loop. Every dropper for every gem is below, with the odds and where to hunt.

The Fast Routes — World Tree & Expeditions

Before farming specific elements, know the catch-all sources: World Tree treasure chests and fishing spots roll on the whole gem pool, the Ancient Relic Recycler can spit them out at every relic grade (see the Recycler guide), and both World Tree Pal Expeditions include gems in their reward pools — the expedition board earns them while you do something else entirely.

What Radiant Gems Are For

Each element's crystal costs a flat 50 gems: Neutral Awakening Crystal · Fire Awakening Crystal · Water Awakening Crystal · Electric Awakening Crystal · Grass Awakening Crystal and the rest follow the same pattern. Awakening is the endgame power system — pick the element your ace Pal uses and funnel every gem there first.
