Sockets and gems

Gems add attack, cut the damage you take, raise your EXP and more. Before an item can take a gem, it needs a socket.

Making sockets

• Weapons: Douglas [Cronus 326,501] makes the first socket for 3 Red Stones and the second for 10. Wear the weapon when you talk to him. He won’t take bound Red Stones.
• Other gear: drag a Moon Box onto the item for its first socket, and a Super Moon Box for its second. Moon Boxes don’t work on weapons.
• Third socket: only Divine gear with two sockets can have one. See Divine gear.

The gems

Each gem comes in three grades: Normal, Refined and Super.

Gem	Normal / Refined / Super	Goes in
Amber	+1 / +3 / +5 BP	Weapon, necklace, bracelet, boots
Citrine	+5 / +10 / +20% attack	Weapon, necklace, boots
Beryl	5 / 10 / 15% less damage taken	Helmet, armour
Amethyst	+20 / +50 / +100% durability	Any gear
Sapphire	+10 / +15 / +25% EXP	Weapon, bracelet, boots

• The third socket of a helmet or armour takes only Citrine or Sapphire.
• Beryl adds up across your gear. Four Super Beryls, two in your helmet and two in your armour, cut the damage you take by 60%, the most it can go.
• Each socket adds 1 BP, and each Super gem adds 1 more.

Embedding gems

Charles [Cronus 314,515] embeds, removes and replaces gems for 100,000 gold per gem.

• A gem you remove or replace is destroyed. You don’t get it back.
• A gem can only be replaced by one of the same grade or higher.

Combining gems

Charles also combines gems of the same kind. It’s free, and it always works.

• 10 Normal gems make 1 Refined gem.
• 30 Refined gems make 1 Super gem, so a Super gem is 300 Normal gems.
• The server hears about every Super gem you combine.
