I got the EBI without friends, I just used the coliseum, my gemstone dragons, and sometimes I get gems from racing. Also, I am not the kind of person that uses gems to speed up everything( I'm not sure if you are that kind of person).

It's much easier to collect gems on DV than DS. It took months to collect enough gold on DS to buy a second nest. On DV, I got my  EBI in a little more than a week, plus I got another  nest a couple of days later. Everything is cheaper, too.
