Posted September 2, 2020 Just a quick little idea came to mind today while I was sitting on a bunch of gems. Basically, if you aren't a priest, then the best use for you is sitting on a table looking like you're rich cause you found a gem, which of course is supposed to be rare and wanted by everyone... but no. So what if we added being able to cement gems into jewelry? that way you could use it as not only flashing off some fancy wealth, but priests could use it as a quick faith/favour gain at any point compared to carrying a satchel full of them. Possibly allow slots per 10ql in a necklace and you could "cement" a gem in? Then cause why not add gems into hilts of weapons? only one of course. Not sure if for aesthetic or for practical uses like lets say diamonds, hardest object on the planet, could decrease dmg on use? the diamond of course with time would lose ql and become worthless/useless. Just a thought, cheers! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Gems in gear is something that is common in most MMO's. Guess the problem is how to find the balance to let them add good value to the item attached to make it worth doing it but not be a buff so strong that would shift the meta to gemmed gear only as people already need to get the high ql tools and mats and spend the time to imp a good weapon or a set of armor then have to cast it, rune it, imbue it, now will have to gem it too? I do agree that non priests should get some benefit from finding gems too other than be forced to sell them to priests so i guess letting them add gems to light sources to increase the power of the light coming from the light source could be a cool perk to have. Like if you have a glow ring of 50ql you could add a gem to it and make it glow like it would be a 60 or 70 ql. Another one could be to add gems to lamps to make them brighter. So someone can have lamps imped to 50+ by a blacksmith or make creating ql lamps and gem them to glow like 50+ql lamps. And the ql of the gem would affect the chance to attach the gem to the item similar to how rune ql affect the attachement chance. Another cool perk would be to be able to add gems to color runes to make them give the color they apply a glowy hue. Could also make it that if you have 50+ milling you can use a grindstone on gems to turn them into gem dust and use that dust with dyes to give them a pearly vibe.

Posted September 2, 2020 Id love to even see, just ornamental items. Like goblets, marble tables with inlaid gems, or just about any item being able to have gems applied for ascetics. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 2, 2020 +1 I've wanted to add gems to jewelry and weapon hilts for ages! Even if just for ornamental purposes alone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
