Royalty tiers are a Royalty-exclusive feature designed to reward members to help you get even more out of Candy Crush Saga. You will unlock a higher tier status based on the number of Royalty points you collect in a calendar year.
The five tiers of Royalty are Amethyst, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Diamond. The higher your tier, the better your rewards will be. At the beginning of each year, you will stay in your current tier but your annual points balance will refresh.
How do I move up tiers?
Climb the ranks of Royalty by collecting Royalty points. From passing levels in the game to purchasing exclusive bundles from the Royalty Store, so much of what you do in Candy Crush Saga will count towards your progress.
Each Royalty tier has an annual Royalty points minimum you must reach in order to move up. The higher the tier, the more Royalty points required. Once you’ve collected enough Royalty points in a calendar year to meet the next tier threshold, your status will automatically be upgraded.
Please note that your points balance will reset at the beginning of each year but you will stay at your highest tier level.
How many points are required to reach each new tier?
Royalty points towards your tier progress are calculated on an annual basis. In order to move up, you must collect the required minimum amount of Royalty points per tier within one calendar year.
The annual Royalty points required per tier:
- Amethyst: 0 points
- Ruby: 1000 points
- Sapphire: 2000 points
- Emerald: 3000 points
- Diamond: 4000 points
For example: If you collect 1000 points during one calendar year, you will unlock Ruby status. If in the same year, you collect a total of 2000 points (including the 1000 points you already reached for Ruby), you will move up to Sapphire.
How long do I keep my current tier status and benefits?
Once you reach a tier, you keep that status until you earn enough Royalty points in a calendar year to move up to the next tier.
How long does my Royalty points balance stay active?
Your annual Royalty points balance stays active for one calendar year. At the beginning of every new year, your annual balance will reset to zero.
Can I move down-tier status?
Currently not. Your Royalty points reset at the beginning of each year, but you'll continue to enjoy the perks and status of the highest tier level you have unlocked.
For example: if you reach Ruby status, you will remain at Ruby status even when your annual points balance refreshes at the beginning of the year.
How many points do I need to advance to the next tier after my Royalty points resets?
Your tier status is based on the total number of Royalty points you collect in a calendar year. After your annual points balance resets, you will still need to collect the minimum number of points required for the next tier in order to advance.
For example: if you are at Ruby at the end of the year, you will stay at Ruby even after your annual points balance resets. To move up to Sapphire in the new year, you will have to collect 2000 points to meet the minimum annual threshold for that tier.
What are my tier benefits?
Each tier comes with its own unique perks and rewards. Each tier gives you access to a new badge, one tier-specific bundle, plus exclusive rewards. The higher your tier, the more precious and premium your rewards are.
Once you reach Sapphire, you will gain access to Candy Jar where you can pick three different boosters every month.
Do my Royalty points expire?
Yes, your Royalty points will reset annually at the beginning of the new year.
When do I get the benefits for my new tier?
Tier upgrades occur as soon as you hit the required number of Royalty points during the year, and you maintain the highest tier status you unlocked indefinitely.
What happens to all the points I earned throughout the year?
We keep track of your lifetime Royalty points but only your points in one calendar year count toward your tiers. Your annual points balance will reset at the beginning of the calendar year.
Why am I in a certain tier?
The tier you are in is based on how many Royalty points you have collected in one calendar year – both in Candy Crush Saga and on Royalty.
