Last updated: May 13, 2026. Currency farming strategies reflect the current meta as of Update 78.
Currency Overview
Pet Simulator 99 uses multiple currencies, each serving different purposes in your progression:
| Currency | Purpose | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Coins | Unlock early areas, basic purchases | First hour of gameplay |
| Gems | Main trading currency, upgrades, eggs | Mid to late game economy |
| Diamonds | Premium currency for rare eggs and VIP | High-end purchases and trades |
| Gold Bars | Mid-game area unlocks | Progression gate |
| Void Coins | Void World currency | Void sub-world progression |
Early Game: Coin Farming (Areas 1-25)
In the first hour, coins are your primary currency. The strategy is simple:
- Equip your strongest pets
- Go to the highest area you can clear
- Break everything and collect coins
- Spend coins to unlock the next area
Key rule: If breakables take more than 10 seconds to clear, drop down to a lower area. Speed matters more than per-breakable value early on.
Coin Spending Priority
- Unlock new areas (always the best investment)
- Hatch eggs from the highest area available
- Upgrade pets at the Fusion Machine
Mid Game: Gem Farming (Areas 25-150)
Once you reach the mid game, gems become your main currency. Here is how to maximize gem income:
Best Gem Farming Enchant Loadout
| Enchant | Effect |
|---|---|
| Diamond 7 | ~65% more diamonds from breakables |
| Fortune | More loot from breakables |
| Chest Mimic | Extra chest drops |
| Treasure Hunter (Lv 5) | Bonus drops from breakables |
Gem Farming Strategy
- Go to your highest cleared area
- Apply the gem farming enchant loadout above
- Activate any Diamond Boost potions
- Farm continuously — gems accumulate quickly at this stage
- Spend gems on progression (new areas, better eggs) and trades
The Gem Spawner
The Gem Spawner upgrade increases gem drops from breakables. Prioritize upgrading it as soon as you can afford it — the ROI is excellent.
Late Game: Diamond Farming (Areas 150+)
Diamonds are the premium currency, used for rare eggs, VIP areas, and high-value trades.
Best Diamond Farming Strategy
- Equip pets with Diamond enchants and Tap Power
- Go to the highest area you can AFK in
- Sell everything you do not need (potions, flags, fruits, enchants) at the Trading Plaza
- Complete daily quests for diamond bonuses
- Trade valuable pets/items for diamonds
Diamond Spending Priority
- Titanic Gifts (~500K+ diamonds each) — craft in Combine-O-Matic
- Exclusive eggs from VIP areas
- Trades for Huge or Titanic pets
- Gamepasses if you want to speed up progression
AFK Farming Setup
AFK farming is one of the most efficient ways to accumulate currency while doing other things.
Optimal AFK Setup
- Go to your highest cleared area where breakables respawn quickly
- Equip pets with Diamond 7, Fortune, Chest Mimic, Treasure Hunter
- Activate all available boosts (Diamond Boost, Lucky Boost)
- Position your character near a cluster of breakables
- Use an auto-clicker if allowed, or leave the game running
Best Areas for AFK Farming
| Area | Why |
|---|---|
| Areas 150-200 | High gem density, fast respawn |
| Void World sub-worlds | Void Coin farming, exclusive drops |
| Event areas | Event-exclusive rewards during active events |
Void World Currency Farming
Once you unlock the Void World, you need to farm Void Coins and Void Bars:
| Method | Currency | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Break Void breakables | Void Coins | Same as gem farming but in Void areas |
| Complete Void quests | Void Coins + Void Bars | More efficient than pure farming |
| Prison World cells | Void Coins + Prison Keys | 10x Huge chance with keys |
| Obby World islands | Void Coins + Void Bars | Summer-themed challenge areas |
Quick Currency Tips
- Never hoard gems or diamonds — unused currency is wasted potential. Invest in upgrades and trades immediately.
- Sell everything you do not need — potions, flags, fruits, enchants, and duplicate pets all have value at the Trading Plaza.
- Trade actively — the Trading Plaza is the fastest way to convert excess items into useful currency.
- Complete daily quests — consistent bonus currency adds up significantly over time.
- Participate in events — event rewards often include currency boosts and exclusive items worth trading.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to earn gems?
Farm the highest area you can clear quickly with Diamond 7 enchants on your pets. Use Fortune, Chest Mimic, and Treasure Hunter enchants, and activate Diamond Boost potions.
How do I AFK farm?
Equip pets with optimal farming enchants, go to your highest cleared area, and leave the game running. Your pets will automatically attack breakables and accumulate gems while you are away.
Should I save gems or spend them?
Spend them. Invest in progression upgrades (new areas, better eggs) and trades that improve your pet roster. Unused gems do not grow — invested gems generate more through faster farming.
