Gemstones

About gemstones

Gemstones can be slotted into weapons to provide a boost to a specific base stat and become available for use at level 40. Any gemstones you acquire before that time will not be usable.

A piece of equipment has up to 3 gem slots available. Equipment between 1* and 3* have no gem slots; equipment at 4* have one gem slot; equipment at 5* have two gem slots; equipment at 6* have three gem slots. One benefit of boosting an equipment's grade is to increase the number of gem slots it has available.

Gemstone types

There are 6 different types of gemstone, and they can only be equipped to specific types of equipment. Each type of gemstone boosts a specific stat.

• Spade

  • Stat boost: Attack

  • Equipped on: Weapons

• Diamond

  • Stat boost: Attack

  • Equipped on: Body and leg armor

• Heart

  • Stat boost: Defense

  • Equipped on: Head and arm armor

• Club

  • Stat boost: HP

  • Equipped on: Accessories

• Star

  • Stat boost: Elemental attack

  • Equipped on: Orbs

Joker gems are unique in that they can only be slotted into the third slot of weapons, accessories, or orbs (they cannot be slotted into any armor.) There are a variety of joker gems and each one boosts a different base stat. For example, square gems boost critical hit rate, while teardrop gems boost defense.

Gemstone boosts

Spade, Diamond, Heart, and Club gemstones have a second stat boost which is indicated by the icon on it. These stat boosts include:

• Critical resistance

• Evasion

• Accuracy

• Critical hit rate

Star gemstones have elemental affinity and their second stat boost increases defense against its inferior element (for example a wood star gemstone's second stat increases water defense.)

Acquiring gemstones

Gems can be acquired as quest rewards, but are most typically farmed from Chaos Dungeons. Joker gems can be found as drops from certain bosses.

Equipping

Gemstones can be equipped to any piece of equipment that you currently have equipped. If you want to add gemstones to another piece of equipment, you will have to equip it first.

Leveling up

Gemstones can be leveled up to a max level of 5. You can use either gemstone polishing bags or gemstones of the same type. Leveling up a gem will boost its base stat.

Grade boosting

Once a gemstone hits level 5, it can be grade boosted. This will boost its star level by 1 and reset it to level 1 so you can continue to level it up. You can boost gems up to 6*.

Super level up

Once a gemstone hits 6* and level 5, it can be super leveled up. This requires another 6* gem of the same type (which can be at level 1.) The 6* maxed gemstone can use the other 6* gem to level it further to a max of level 7.

Removing gemstones

Once a gemstone has been slotted, if you directly replace it with another gem, the original gem will be destroyed. This means that you want to be careful with slotting gemstones to make sure you're putting in the ones that correspond to the stat boosts you want.
