Gems for transfer?
Did you receive the gems when you bought them?
Also, are you trying to move to a server with a very high population? If so you will need 1800 gems.
It says I now have 1800 after I exchanged gold. It says I need 1000 to transfer to eradon terrace.
The cost is different if you move to a lesser populated server.
Medium is 500, high is 1000 (the one you selected) and 1800 for a very high server.
But can you now move? Did you already do a transfer in the last 7 days?
Does your wallet show the gems?
Yup the wallet shows the 1800 gems.
Weird, I have no clue how this is happening then.

I had the exact same issue as you and fixed it by exiting the client and then logging back in.

This is a solid suggestion. Log all the way out of the game and then log back in.
