Day One With the Gems: What People Are Actually Pulling

Updated 8 August 2026 · 3 min read

Real day-one collection data from Quackadex trackers: which Gems are landing, the one confirmed Gem Zero Point pull, the June 25 early-escape detail, and why Saturday's Gem Hours are most of your remaining chances.

The Gems have been live for a day. Time to check what actually happened, because pre-release drop rates are theory and chest farming is practice.

Day one, by the numbers we can see

Quackadex tracks real collections, so we can say something no drop-rate table can: what people are actually pulling. As of this morning, collectors here have logged Gem Water, Earth, Aura and Zero Point since the Thursday reset. Nobody has logged Gem Duck, Demon, Punk or Grim yet. Gem Llama, with its week of head start, is the most-owned Gem on the site.

And yes, you read the list right. One collector here has already logged Gem Zero Point - the 0.00001% one - and mastered it the same day. That is either the luckiest chest in the season or the most patient farming session we have ever indirectly witnessed. Either way it is in a Mastery Pod now, where nothing can take it back.

Nobody else is finding Zero Point

We went looking for other confirmed Gem Zero Point pulls and came up close to empty. The Click's hunting guide confirms it spawns in Sprite Chests and Relic Chests and says the quiet part: repeated chest farming is the only reliable method, because at a published 0.00001% there is no clever route, just volume. Gem Punk and Gem Grim sit in the same "rare Sprite Chest spawn" bucket.

If day one taught anything, it is that the Rares are honest and the Mythics are a lottery. The 0.37% on Gem Water and Gem Earth is genuinely farmable in an evening. The bottom of the table is not.

A detail most people missed

The Gems were technically in chests once before. The Zero Point wiki's own changelog records the Gem variant being disabled on June 25 after unreleased variants started appearing from Sprite Hunt Rift Anomalies - six weeks before the real release. Epic pulled them, and anyone who grabbed one early got it restored on August 6. Same playbook as the Ironmouse accident, and worth remembering the next time something "impossible" shows up in a chest: sometimes the answer is that it escaped early.

Saturday is the whole ballgame

Gem Hours run tomorrow, August 8, 2 to 4 PM and 9 to 11 PM ET, with Gem spawn rates boosted for both sessions. The Special Hours panel on the dashboard has both windows in your local time.

Do the math on the calendar: the season ends August 20, and nobody can promise the sprite system survives it. That leaves this Saturday and one more weekend of boosted odds, ever, maybe. If you are missing Gems, Saturday is not "a good opportunity". It is most of your remaining chances in one afternoon.

Farm the two Gem Hours windows. All four hours if you can.
Master what you pull, immediately - Level 5 plus one extraction, and it lives in the jar forever.
Check the trading board tonight. Day-one pullers with spares exist, and we can see at least a few of them.
