WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm The Summit Survival reward drops at wave 100 or later.
A patch update identifies Golden Gemstones as drops at Summit Survival wave 100 or later. The claim does not establish a difficulty gate or guarantee that each run yields one. Treat this as a long Survival target: unlock the mode, build for sustained defense, reach the wave, then inspect the results before planning another attempt.
Before you go Clear The Summit campaign to unlock its Survival mode. Prepare defenses that can sustain Summit’s lanes over a long run. Keep enough inventory capacity to collect and inspect drops. Choose The Summit Survival at a difficulty your defenses can handle. Build a full defense layout before starting combat. Advance through waves while repairing and upgrading the defenses under pressure. Collect drops and review your setup between waves. Continue until wave 100 or later, abandoning the push if the layout is no longer stable. Inspect drops for Golden Gemstones after reaching the target wave. Equip or store useful results, then decide whether to repeat or improve the setup. Farming tips The recorded reward condition does not specify a Lycan King-or-higher requirement; do not add a difficulty restriction without an in-game reason. A previously attempted wave can be selected as a start point in Survival, but make sure the chosen run still reaches the target reward wave. Repeat, collect and use Repeatable, but wave 100 is a substantial run and the drop is not stated to be guaranteed. You may need multiple attempts.
Common mistakes Assuming the Gemstone drops from the campaign chest; the target is Summit Survival wave 100 or later. Treating a difficulty gate as confirmed; the recorded condition does not specify one. Starting too late or stopping short of wave 100; track the displayed wave and reach the documented threshold. When to stop or switch Stop after collecting the Golden Gemstone you need, or switch to strengthening defenses if repeated pushes fail before wave 100.
