Awakening gems...

Hey all, a question about Awakening. What do the gems we craft do? Thanks for any help.
Noobs have all the fun :-)

So the blue ones we craft, and the red ones you buy do the same thing, however the red have a better chance at opening a new slot on your whachamagig.
The blue ones can still open new slots, and I've even had the red 5k initial one open a new slot the first time I awakened my doohickey.

Thanks again for the help, happy hunting!!

The Large,Medium and Small fragment can be crafted into Awakening Gems which can be sold for 22k each :D

Blue ones can be farmed, they got less chance to open a new slot. Also the chance of stacking the same enchantments is less than the red ones.

Red ones are able to buy w plat or buy them from the Auction, the red ones have more chance to open a slot and also more chance at stacking the same enchantment.

However there's a diff between red and blue, this doesn't mean they always open faster by red! It's random and looted by luck.
