How to Acquire

Gemstones are obtained by mining in a Cave or Mine Hole. Each type of gem has hidden nodes which can overlap with stone/ore/other gem nodes.

Dust Piles have a chance of containing a Dust Jewel.

Important: You can mine any size of gem, but without gemhunter credo, you can't mine gems better than Cabochon cut.

Quality

• Gem quality depends on node and is softcapped by Masonry.
• Each gem has certain attributes which it will increase when gilded on a ring, and these attributes increase with both size and cut, but quality affect in common formula:$_{q10}Bonuses*{\sqrt {\frac {_{q}Gem}{10}}}$.

Notes

• Cut Gemstone with Gemcutter's Wheel can improve cut but has a chance to instead decrease both cut and size.
• Amber can't be mined and appears only as loot in Any Dungeon.
