Purchase of gem cards, do I still get reward?
I use to be a Ritualist and a Paragon in my former life…
I don’t know if it will count (you have changed it to gems, I hope, just having a card won’t do a blessed thing no matter what). However, if it does, it won’t count until January. They’re giving all of December to rack up the gem purchases before they send the thank-you gifts.

According to the news post, all gems purchased directly or gem codes redeemed count toward the total. Your gift will be given to you sometime in January.
