I'd like to know the answer to this too. I think Carapace said they can be used to craft cracked jewels, but I'd like a confirmation on this.

The answer is in the first comment of this thread.

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes I've been waiting for this! Diablo styled tier gems! >

**RaZrAT** · 05-24-2015, 11:27 AM

nice idea...

**Devaux** · 05-24-2015, 11:29 AM

Now just add a randomized proc and certain number of magical effects that differ on rerolls for gear then were talkin! Time to get rid of the base stat builds or proc within fatality, assault, potency, etc! *Pipe dreams*

Not sure why you'd use emotionally charged language such as "underlings," other than perhaps you have an extreme dislike of the practice of pvp-ing at levels less than the current endcap. Thanks... so much... for sharing that... with us. In essence, you're saying that anyone who doesn't have an endcap character isn't a valid player and should therefore be excluded because...??????????

I sincerely hope STS completely rejects and/or totally ignores your advice, especially considering they'd take a significant financial hit by excluding an entire community of pvp players who must rely more on skill and less on gear - or "underlings," as you so generously put it. Those "underlings" spend a significant amount of plat and time developing their characters and forging and maintaining relationships. One of the primary reasons STS developed events is because that community was being ignored. I expect STS will continue adapting to their customers' wants, rather than forcing a rigid endcap system on everyone.

As for the leaderboards... a better suggestion is make the appropriate boards level-sensitive, thus giving players who prefer lower levels a real chance to compete AND ALSO affording endgamers the same opportunity. Right now some leaderboards are comparing apples and oranges and anyone who takes those too seriously doesn't understand what they are looking at.

Yea in lb are only old of plat players where is chance to go lb for new players?!

I love how much this game keeps reminding me of DIABLO <3 GJ

**Ratiomod** · 05-30-2015, 09:57 AM

will it be possible to remove gems (not jewels) from the gear?

Quote from first post:

"Current Gems
Before jumping into Jewels, I want to assure you all that your current gems will remain untouched, as I alluded to above. Any gems you have created are still yours to keep. In no way will their functionality be changed. You can continue to socket them into any current gear you have or future gear you earn. However, you will not be able to craft new Gems after the Jewels system launches."

**Noxarrow** · 05-30-2015, 06:58 PM

woaaa no more gems

**geeman75** · 05-30-2015, 08:45 PM

From what I'm seeing there isn't much of an improvement for low lvl twinks. How would any of the jewels ever equal a lvl 6 para? I've read the post 3 times and it doesn't add up...

Then read again 4th time:

"[*]Many more stats are now available with Jewels! There will be 8 types of Jewels available when the feature launches. In addition to the STR, DEX, and INT stats you are all used to, you can now also upgrade your gear with Jewels which grant Armor, Crit, Damage, HP, or Mana"

We don't know the damage jewel stat yet, so maybe better maybe not.
