The best AFK Gems method is to record a repeatable Story-mode Hard run macro: pick a map you can clear fast, place your carry unit, turn on Auto Upgrade, wait after rewards, then loop the recording overnight.
This route works because Story Hard has a clean start-to-reward flow that a click recorder can repeat without needing fresh decisions every run. It also gives player EXP, so the same overnight loop helps account leveling while it farms Gems.

Story Hard macro Gem farming result

The main target is a stable Hard-mode Story clear, not the hardest possible stage. A single showcase run claimed about 12K Gems over an 8-hour night, but treat that as a benchmark for a working setup rather than a fixed payout for every account.
Newer players can still use the method if their carry unit can clear the selected stage on its own. If your run needs manual saves, manual targeting, or last-second upgrades, it is not ready for an overnight macro yet.
Requirements for the Anime Expeditions macro setup

| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Macro recorder | Records lobby clicks, unit placement, Auto Upgrade, and replay timing. |
| Story Hard stage | Gives a repeatable run from map select to reward screen. |
| Carry unit | Clears the stage alone; Yuta is the demonstrated example. |
| Auto Upgrade | Keeps the unit scaling without manual upgrade clicks. |
| Reward buffer | Leaves 5-10 seconds after rewards before ending the recording. |
You need a macro recorder or click recorder that can record your lobby clicks, replay them, and save the file for later. The in-game side is simple: use Story, choose Hard Mode, and rely on Auto Upgrade so the loop does not need hands-on spending decisions.
Yuta is the demonstrated carry unit, but the slot is flexible. Any strong unit that can solo your chosen Story stage consistently can fill the same job.
Test the saved macro for two full loops before leaving it overnight, because a tiny reward-screen timing difference can break an otherwise clean recording.
How to record and loop the AFK gem macro in Anime Expeditions
This records one complete Story Hard clear, then replays it so the same run keeps restarting on its own.
STEP 1/14
Enter Story mode
From the lobby, open Story so the recording begins from the mode you will farm.
STEP 2/14
Pick a fast map
Choose a map your account clears quickly and reliably.
STEP 3/14
Select Hard Mode
Set the run to Hard Mode before starting the match.
STEP 4/14
Match your recorder settings
Set your macro recorder hotkey preference before you begin recording.
STEP 5/14
Start recording
Press the record hotkey, shown as F8, and begin capturing the run.
STEP 6/14
Click Start repeatedly
Spam the Start button so the recording reliably launches the stage.
STEP 7/14
Place your carry unit
Put your carry down as soon as possible; the game can queue placement even before you have enough money.
STEP 8/14
Turn on Auto Upgrade
Enable Auto Upgrade on the carry so the run does not need manual upgrade clicks.
STEP 9/14
Let the stage clear
Wait for the carry to finish the full stage without interrupting the recording.
STEP 10/14
Leave a reward-screen buffer
After rewards appear, wait 5-10 seconds so small run-time differences do not desync the loop.
STEP 11/14
End the recording
Stop recording only after the buffer has passed.
STEP 12/14
Set playback to the hotkey
Put playback on F8, then press it to replay the macro.
STEP 13/14
Let the macro run
Watch at least one replayed run to make sure it starts, clears, and returns correctly.
STEP 14/14
Save the macro file
Save the working recording so you can load it again without remaking the loop.

Best Story map for AFK Gems
Choose the fastest Story map you can clear on Hard. The main reward is the same across Story maps, while the equipment drops are the real difference between maps.
That means the best map is the one that combines two things: your carry clears it consistently, and the map drops equipment you actually want. If a slightly slower map gives better equipment for your account, use it only if the macro still loops cleanly.
Extra Gem sources to grab with macro farming
| Code | Reward |
|---|---|
| EA | 2,500 Gems and 20 Crystals |
| EA+ | 2,500 Gems and 30 Crystals |
| RELEASE | 2,500 Gems and 30 Crystals |
Before leaving a macro running, redeem the active launch codes because they are quick guaranteed Gems with almost no grind attached. These are separate from the macro loop, so grab them once and then use Story Hard farming for repeatable overnight progress.
While you are actively playing between macro sessions, keep an eye on Daily Quests, Weekly Quests, Achievements, Beginner’s Path, and the Battle Pass. Those systems add progression rewards, but exact Gem values vary by task and milestone.
Macro loop mistakes that stop rewards

The biggest mistake is recording on a stage that barely clears. If the carry survives only when enemy pathing, timing, or targeting goes perfectly, the macro will eventually fail while you are away.
Do not stop recording the instant rewards appear. Leave the 5-10 second buffer, because each run can finish a second or two differently, and that extra delay gives the next replay room to stay aligned.
After saving the file, avoid changing UI scale, hotkeys, window position, or anything else your recorder depends on. Also avoid setups that require manual targeting or manual upgrades, since those decisions will not adapt once the loop is playing back.
Macro safety in Anime Expeditions
External macro tools are not described in the launch notes as an officially allowed feature. This method can be recorded and used as an AFK farming route, but it should not be treated as risk-free or protected by an in-game macro system.
If you want the lowest-risk idle option, stick to in-game systems such as Expeditions, Payload, Auto Upgrade, quests, and code redemption. Use third-party recorders only with that limitation in mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can beginners use this macro method?
Yes, if their account can clear the chosen Story Hard stage with one dependable carry. The method is beginner-friendly only after the run is stable enough to finish without manual help.
How many Gems can you get overnight?
A working setup has shown about 12K Gems in 8 hours, but your result depends on clear speed, failed loops, and how long the macro actually runs.
Does the map matter for Gem farming?
For the main Story reward, map choice matters less than clear speed. Pick based on consistency first, then equipment drops.
Which unit should you place for the macro?
Use your strongest solo carry. Yuta is the example unit for the recording route, but the requirement is simply that the unit can carry the full stage with Auto Upgrade.
Are macros officially safe in Anime Expeditions?
No official allowance for external macro tools is included in the launch details. The route works as a recording method, but players should understand that third-party automation carries its own risk.
