Royale High Beginner Guide: Diamonds and Levels

What the game is

Royale High is free to play, and it has several places to visit, called realms. Campus 3 and Campus 4 are the main school areas. Others include Divinia Park and Sunset Island, which hosts the Royale Universe Pageant.

What to do first

Take your first day slowly and learn the routine. You do not need to rush to buy clothes.

• Follow the campus introduction, which teaches you about your first magical element.
• Try a few classes to see which ones you enjoy.
• Open your diary quests, and try some of them.
• Find where to refill your needs. Food fixes hunger, the Bathing Quarters fix hygiene and sleep fixes energy.
• Set up a usable bed in your dorm, so you always have somewhere to rest.
• Try outfits before you spend diamonds on them.

How levels and diamonds work

Experience points, or EXP, raise your level, and each level-up pays out diamonds. So in Royale High, doing normal school things is how you earn. EXP comes from classes, quests, sleeping and showering. Guides suggest filling your hunger, hygiene and sleep bars before class, for extra EXP.

Classes pay a small number of diamonds as well as EXP. One guide reports that grades can affect your reward.

Other sources of diamonds include quests, hidden chests on campus, and the free fountain wish. Guides say you can make a wish every two hours at the Castle Entrance or on Campus 4. That timing may change. A wish is down to chance, and it can also lose you diamonds, so do not count on it. A fan wiki advises tracking what you really earn, not trusting promised diamonds-per-hour numbers.

Common mistakes

• Spending diamonds on food and short-lived items when you could save for something you want to keep.
• Buying a big wardrobe before you have tried classes and quests.
• Believing halo answer charts. Fan sites say no list of answers can guarantee a halo, as luck plays a large part.
• Skipping your needs. Low bars mean you miss out on easy EXP.
• Sharing your toy codes. Keep them private. They are not a general diamond giveaway.
• Believing anyone who promises free diamonds in return for your password or account details. Never share these with anyone.

What to do next

Once you know your routine, look for chests on Campus 4. Some need magic you unlock later, so come back when you have more elements. Try the pageant on Sunset Island, which can pay diamonds and EXP based on how you place. Start planning outfits you like for school, sleep and swimming, since those are the everyday looks you will use most.

Seasonal events come and go, and each has its own items. You do not have to join every event. Save your diamonds for what you really want. Trading is a separate part of the game, and a first-week player does not need it, as one guide says it opens only at a higher level.
