How to use a Gem Card

Gem cards are a super easy and reliable way to unlock gems for you to use in the game. Below, we'll cover how to use your codes to add gems to your account.

Please note: Gem card codes cannot be redeemed in-game (or on the site) for Guild Wars 2 accounts that were created on Steam. If this changes, the information will be updated here.
