The four new gemstones
Opal, emerald, garnet and onyx
The four new stones
Four gemstones. Opal, emerald, garnet and onyx can be cut and refined; every stone fits any free setting, and in a setting of its own colour (opal and onyx void, emerald amber, garnet ember) it works ×1.25 as strong. Gem cutting has new levels, and there are 33 new pictures.
| Stone | Effect (Tier 1–5) | Setting colour | Raw stone |
|---|---|---|---|
 Opal | +2% Experience … +7% Experience | ● Void | Raw Void Stone |
 Emerald | +2% Gathering Speed … +7% Gathering Speed | ● Amber | Raw Amber Stone |
 Garnet | +2% Loot Chance … +9% Loot Chance | ● Ember | Raw Ember Stone |
 Onyx | +3 Defence … +12 Defence | ● Void | Raw Void Stone |
Every stone has five tiers: Chip, Cut, Flawless, Star, Perfect.
Colour match
Every stone fits any free setting. In a setting of its own colour it works ×1.25 as strong (opal and onyx void, emerald amber, garnet ember). Each stone colour counts only once per piece of gear.
Cut raw stones (loot from mining and bosses) into gems and socket them into your gear — permanent bonuses per stone. Matching gems reinforce each other. Colour = socket: any gem fits any free socket, but a gem in a socket of its own colour works stronger (colour match), and each gem colour counts only once per piece of gear — which is why no piece has two sockets of the same colour. More supply: higher ore veins drop more often, bosses the most (6% per stone, void stone only 3%) — and the GLINTSIGHT upgrade (Economy → Upgrades) adds a bonus chance on every mining action. Four gemstones are added: opal (experience, void), emerald (gathering tempo, amber), garnet (luck, ember) and onyx (armour, void). Each fits the setting colour of its kind and needs the rough stone of that colour: opal and onyx raw void stone, emerald raw amber, garnet raw ember stone. All five levels of a gem share that rough stone.In-game help: Gem cutting
Gem cutting: the 36 new recipes
Cut: raw stone of the setting colour into a stone of that tier. Refine: two stones of one tier into one of the next. The recipes fill the stretch between gem cutting 52 and 64.
Table values without the tier factor of the piece of gear; “in a matching setting” is the value with colour match.
