1. Run the Cultist Stronghold (5 Diamonds per Run)

The strongest and most repeatable method is farming the Cultist Stronghold. Each successful run gives you 5 diamonds, no matter the difficulty level.

To make this method efficient:

Play solo: Fewer enemies spawn, making combat more manageable.
Rush campfire upgrades to Level 4 by looting and crafting.
Avoid unnecessary items: Only collect fuel, food, weapons, armor, ammo, flashlights, medkits, and bandages.
Use ranged weapons like rifles or revolvers and fight cultists in open areas.
Set a timer for the Stronghold’s opening so you don’t miss it.
After completing the Stronghold and taking the diamonds, leave the game and restart. This avoids harder Stronghold versions while keeping the diamond payout the same.

Tip: Crossbow cultists are deadly. Prioritize them and kite melee enemies downstairs for easy ranged damage.

2. Complete Badges for Bonus Diamonds

Badges are a simple way to earn diamonds passively just by playing. You’ll find them in the badge menu. Some are as easy as:

Survive 10, 20, 30+ days (up to 5 diamonds)
Defend your campfire
Level up your campfire
Collect flowers and grow plants
Use bear traps creatively (Humiliation badge, best done with friends)

You can earn up to 50 diamonds on your first playthrough just by targeting basic badge goals. Check the wiki or badge menu in-game to track your progress.

3. Loot High-Tier Chests

Gold and Ruby chests sometimes drop 1 diamond as part of their rare loot pool. While this method isn’t as consistent, it stacks well with other farming techniques. Explore with a crafted map and keep an eye out for landmarks and hidden zones that house these chests.

4. Trade with the Pelt Trader

On Day 2, visit the Pelt Trader with 1 bunny pelt. Choose the Good Sack to increase your inventory size. This doesn’t give you diamonds directly, but it helps you carry more loot during Stronghold runs or general exploration, saving you trips and time.

5. Buy Diamonds

You can purchase diamonds with Robux, but it’s generally overpriced. For example:

20 diamonds = 99 Robux
100 diamonds = 400 Robux
250 diamonds = 900 Robux
700 diamonds = 2,500 Robux

Unless you have extra Robux and value convenience, it’s better to grind through gameplay.

Which Class Should You Unlock First?

Diamonds are used to unlock powerful classes. Here’s what you should consider:

Assassin (500 Diamonds): Strong but high risk, best for advanced players.
Brawler (100 Diamonds): Tanky with solid melee, great for solo.
Lumberjack, Scavenger, or Camper (Low Cost): Ideal for resource gathering and early progression.

Unlock based on your playstyle. If you’re soloing Strongholds often, Brawler or Ranger will serve you well.

Stick to solo Stronghold farming and badge progression if you want fast, repeatable diamonds without needing a team or Robux. It’s not the flashiest method, but it’s consistent, and you’ll unlock your first class in no time.
