In DragonVale for iPhone and Android, you can redeem various social codes that will give you a gift of different amounts of gems.
Redeeming a code is easy, simply tap the Social button, then tap the Redeem Code button. Type in a valid social code and press OK. If a valid code is entered it will give you a message that it worked, and you should find your gems in the Gifts tab.
Friend Codes
Each player in DragonVale has a friend code attached to their account. Entering a code from one of your friends will grant you 25 gems, but you can only enter one friend code per account.
