- Some mobs also guarantee these precious jewels as drops after you kill them, as the Regenerators and the Masked Cultists in red wear assuring Ruby and Red Beryl drops, respectively.
- Additionally, you can obtain certain gems as rewards for taking down notably strong foes, like the amped Iron Maiden in the Wandering Dead Merchant Request that drops an Alexandrite once killed.

- Another uncommon way of getting them is by trading the Spinels you get from Blue Notice Requests or as random loot at the Merchant’s shop.
Uses Of Gemstones
- Alongside simply selling off the gemstone as it is, one important feature the remake adds is the capability of inlaying several of these gemstones into treasure items, ultimately becoming more valuable than their constituents.
- These Treasure Items have unique slots for you to fill with several jewels.
-
- One of the major distinguishing factors of a gemstone that determines whether or not it’s compatible with a specific slot of a treasure item is its shape.
- Once a gemstone fits into the item, the newly-made artifact gains the value of the standalone gemstone and treasure item combined.
- On top of that, you can also get a Gemstone Bonus, an extra multiplier of the artifact’s value, raising it by a considerable margin.
What Are Gemstone Bonuses?
For more detail, here’s a list of all the gemstone combinations and the bonuses they turn in:
