How To Get Rares and Gems Easily

This post is going to be an easy way to get rares and gems easily. I used this a lot in my past.
So, a lot of you are members. A lot of you really care about gems, rares, and all that stuff. And lastly, a lot of you play The Forgotten Desert.
Everyone gets prizes that are lame from that adventure. They think "oh, a rare (insert name here). That's stupid." And the they click the decline option. If you want to get rarer and get more gems, keep every item you receive from the Forgotten Desert. The trick is to keep everything, and then recycle anything you don't want/need when you get out of the adventure. Do this many times and you'll eventually get items that are worth something, and if not, you still have tons of items to recycle. Those times spent playing the Forgotten Desert wouldn't be useless then. Also, OPEN CHESTS. I don't even know if this is a thing anymore, but chests do not decrease your chances of getting a spike. Those are the funniest rumors I've ever heard and they really show that AJ has a younger population. Anyways, chests sometimes have good prizes in them, but if not, they are easy gems.
Getting all these gems will allow you to invest in clearance items, mystery items, and diamond items. It'll also allow you to trade gems for diamonds/tickets. These make the game much easier.
That's probably the easiest way to earn gems and rares, honestly. You have to be a lot more experienced to do trading in Aldan, as it can be tough. It takes a lot more knowledge on rares.
These are some tips that I used back when I was obsessed with AJ. Hopefully they can help anyone who is into this stuff.
Umm... so... I'm making an awkward end now... bye lol.
