Gems

Chose which gems you wish to view

Each Gem has a rating and what it is best used for

Amethyst

Cut Weapon effect Shield Effect Helm Effect  
Chipped +15-19 AR +5-6     Def +3 Str
Flawed +20-29 AR +7-8     Def +4 Str
Standard +30-39 AR +9-19   Def +5-6 Str
Flawless +40-49 AR +11-13 Def +7-8 Str
Perfect +50-60 AR +15-17 Def +9-10 Str Rating
Use AR= Attack rating

not a useful gem in a weapon

 Def = Defense again  very useful for  a shield Str = Strength best use of the amethyst but still not great, ok if you need a str boost for big armor             4 / 10

                                          

Ruby

Cut Weapon effect Shield Effect Helm Effect
Chipped +3-4 Fire +10-12% Fire res +6-8 life
Flawed +3-5 Fire +13-16% Fire res +9-11 life
Standard +4-5 Fire +17-20% Fire res +12-15 life
Flawless +5-6 Fire +21-25% Fire res +16-20 life
Perfect +6-10 Fire +26-30% fire res +21-25 life Rating
Use Fire = Fire Damage

Ok near start but an extra 6-10 damage is not very useful

 res = resistance

this is ok in a shield when fighting fire enemies i.e. the durance of hate

 Don't waste a gem in here             4 / 10

 

                                      

Emerald

Cut Weapon effect Shield Effect Helm Effect
Chipped +2poi ov 3sec +10-12% poi res +3 dex
Flawed +3poi ov 3sec  +13-16% poi res +4 dex
Standard +4poi ov 3sec +17-20% poi res +5-6 dex
Flawless +4poi ov 3sec +21-25% poi res +7-8 dex
Perfect +5poi ov 3sec +26-30% poi res +9-10 dex Rating
Use poi = poison 

ov = over 

almost useless

 poi = poison

not many enemies use poison another poor effect

 dex = dexterity

the best effect of the emerald but still only useful if you need to boast your dex to sue a weapon

             4 / 10

 

                                    

Diamond

Cut Weapon effect Shield Effect Helm Effect
Chipped +125-129% to und +5-6% res all +10 AR
Flawed +130-135% to und +7-8% res all +15 AR
Standard +136-145% to und +9-11% res all +20 AR
Flawless +146-155% to und +12-15% res all +25 AR
Perfect +156-170% to und +16-20% res all +30 AR Rating
Use this ability increase your weapons damage against und (undead) this can make your weapon deliver  crushing blows to undead res = resist

The most powerful gem effect of them all this makes a shield great, 3 perfect gems

 AR = Attack rating

this effect is almost useless brings shame to a great gem

            9  / 10

Sapphire

Cut Weapon effect Shield Effect Helm Effect
Chipped +1-3 cold (1) +10-12% cold res +6-8 mana
Flawed +2-3 cold (1.5) +13-16% cold res +9-11 mana
Standard +2-4 cold (2) +17-20% cold res +12-15 mana
Flawless +3-5 cold (2.5) +21-25% cold res +16-20 mana
Perfect +3-7 cold (3) +26-30% cold res +21-25 mana Rating
Use out of all the elements cold does the least damage but the added effect of slowing the enemies is very powerful duration of slow is in ( ) res = resistance

Not very useful few enemies use cold damage

 Mana can be very useful for not only the mage class' this can come in handy near the start of the game

Useless for paladin

            5  / 10

 

Topaz

Cut Weapon effect Shield Effect Helm Effect
Chipped +1-6 lit +10-12% lit res +7-9%
Flawed +1-7 lit +13-16% lit res +11-13%
Standard +1-8 lit +17-20% lit res +14-17%
Flawless +1-10 lit +21-25% lit res +18-20%
Perfect +1-16 lit +26-30% lit res +21-25% Rating
Use lit = lightning damage

pretty useless due to such a low minimum

 res = resistance

lit = lightning

can come in handy against lightning enchanted enemies

 chance to find magic item very useful while either treasure hunting or general experiencing            7  / 10

 

                                  

Skull

Cut Weapon effect Shield Effect Helm Effect
Chipped 2 / 1 % Returns 3 2life 8% mana
Flawed 2 / 2 % Returns 4 3life / 8% mana
Standard 3 / 2 % Returns 5 3life / 12% mana
Flawless 3 / 3 % Returns 6 4life / 12% mana
Perfect 4 / 3 % Returns 6-7 4-5life / 16-20% mana Rating
Use Steals life / mana

great if you need to keep gaining mana and life

with 1 perfect if you do 100 damage you will gain 4life and 3 mana

 when an enemy hurts you they will take this amount of damage

 

this is lame

 This is really useful early for a mage class character who really needs to regain mana quickly as a single chip will always increase your mana regain speed by 8 % and you will start to regain 3 life at regular intervals           8  / 10
