In this series, I will be playing through Gems of War with a 100% free to play account. During the series I will be showing many helpful tactics for starting and progressing through Gems of War. I will also be giving out free redeem codes on occasion that give a range of useful resources to help you progress through the game. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to message below. In this episode I go over many of the things a newer player should do when first starting the game. I also show how to defeat Sheggra using only the starting troops.

Let’s play! Are these going to have the quests in then so we can capture the dialog? That would be good stuff to have! ---

Too bad they can’t give you a one off code to unlock all the troops at level 1 for your videos. ---

Fairly sure that would defeat the purpose of doing a lowbie series. He’s playing the game as it is, as a new player experiences it. ---

Techn9neee, the guy in 3rd or 4th place on the global leaderboard, ended up joining this small guild that my new account is in. That is how I already have so many keys. His output is over 3x the total output of the guild without him. xD ---
