- The Farmer: Listed at 1,599 gems in the Workers shop (capped at
Farmers hired: 0 of 10). He grows crops on his own farm and sells the harvest for you. - The Bard Band: Listed at 1,599 gems in the Workers shop. The unit adds two stage lute players providing

Sources you can reach tonight
You do not need Robux to collect initial gems. Manual labor and active gameplay provide direct gem earnings.

Check the exact milestone toast banner captured during play:

When these milestones unlock, the screen displays:
Milestone reached: Stargazer (Bronze)! Mine 10 gem asteroid crystals. Claim it in Quests > Milestones.Milestone reached: Prospector (Bronze)! Mine 50 gems. Claim it in Quests > Milestones.
Gems do not deposit into your inventory automatically. Open the main menu, go to Quests, select Milestones, and click claim.
World events offer repeatable gem mining. When the banner announces:
A gem asteroid is about to fall! Watch the sky.
Step outside and scan the horizon. Fallen asteroid deposits yield raw gems when struck with a pickaxe and advance the Stargazer milestone track. Exact impact coordinates and respawn intervals are not fixed by any published schedule.
VIP patrons provide occasional windfalls. Creator Pouro reported at 03:02 and 04:50 in video UIgohfZD2Sg:
"The king gave me a tip of 14 gems."
"The king left 14 gems as a tip."
This 14-gem tip is a single event observation from one author. It proves royalty can tip gems instead of coins, but it does not establish a fixed schedule or guaranteed amount.
Server challenges also award gems. The game listing states Server challenges with gem prizes, though exact objectives and prize payouts were not recorded.
Passes and Robux purchases
For immediate currency or perks, two official game passes are registered in the Roblox API for universe 10771350522:
- Share Pass: 49 Robux (Game-pass ID
2040158626). Premium members receive this pass free, unlocking blueprint sales on the Build Market. - Tavern Pass: 999 Robux (Game-pass ID
2040608555).
The passes API returns a name and a price only, so the reward tiers behind the 999 Robux Tavern Pass are not described here. The shop has a Gems tab, but what it sells and at what Robux rate was not recorded.
The hidden-gems video, and what it does not prove
A YouTube video by Jessica Van Zyl titled "Hidden gems in Tavern town you might not know about 💎#roblox #tycoon" frequently appears in search queries. Players often assume this video shows secret gem caches.
The available evidence does not support that assumption:
- No hidden coordinates: The video lacks transcripts, and "hidden gems" is common shorthand for building tips or obscure features rather than physical gem nodes. No static terrain coordinates exist for collectible gems.
- No static spawn map: Outside dynamic asteroid crashes, permanent world gem spawns are unrecorded.
- Unverified promo codes: A video description claimed code
WELCOMEgrants 100 gems (Use code WELCOME for 100 gems). Unlike the officialDECORcrate code,WELCOMEis not developer-verified and its active status is unconfirmed. - Missing metrics: Server challenge prize amounts, asteroid respawn timers, and king visit rates were not recorded in preflight tests.
Rely on verified loops: equip a pickaxe, watch the sky during asteroid alerts, mine crystal deposits, and claim earned gems in Quests > Milestones.
