You can craft 3 lvl1 jewel into 1 lvl2 jewel, then 3 lvl2 jewel into 1 lvl3 jewel, it will take less inventory space than the current holding 10essence to craft 1 gem, so don't afraid.

You don't have to put 2187 items in your inventory. When you have 3, you can craft it into the next best gem, and when you have 3 of those, you can craft again into the next best one. So you gradually upgrade your gems over time. No need to save up 2187 all at once. Every time you get 3 you can craft again to combine.

edit: hehe, Hali beat me to it!

I have to admit I've been very negative towards Sts lately with lock price dropping , nothing to farm for non plat users , catering rich ppl . But this jewel idea sounds excellent . Ppl have something to farm for those cant run arena . Let's hope sts add few more stuff normal players can farm for without plats.

Thanks a lot for the replies and sorry for the numerous questions!

Can you explain how did you got to 2187 "cracked jewels" for a "noble jewel"???
According to the explanation of Fibus, its combination of 2 same class of jewel will make it to highier class
So,
(2 cracked) 1-Cracked + 1-Cracked = 1 Damage
(4 cracked) 1-Damage + 1-Damage = 1 Weak
(8 Cracked) 1-Weak +1-Weak = 1 Standard
(16 Cracked) 1 Standard + 1 Standard = 1 Fortified
(32 Cracked) 1 Fort + 1 Fort = 1 Excellent
(64 Cracked) 1 Excell + 1 Excell = 1 Superb
(128 Cracked) 1 Sup + 1 Sup = 1 Noble

So, you'll only use 128 cracked to form the final noble jewel. Thats how I understood the explanation, anyway If dev can verify it would be better.

All i can say is,make the para gem and eye enchant be crafted or upgrade x2 also,and can be unattached to items wt a certain payment of gold just like what youved stated,its like a vintage item,an antique,more precious and valuable than new ones,coz lots of players work hard for it.so non plat users can also earn alot of G,to survive lvln up in new and hard maps in expansion.i love the ursoth event,lots of G to earn,but easter egg hunt is the bomb!non plat users really earned alot of G in that event,if there not lazy and smart doin the event..anyways,all good
STS!two thumbs up wt all the pepz who is workin hard for everything!keep it up!godbless...

Hitback...pilot!

**Polong Ama Luzadas** · 05-10-2015, 01:01 PM

And i hope,it will be different and new prize when reaching platinum tier in every event,every yr.tnx

I'm guessing they will change arcane ring recipe to require some jewels instead of essences.

That's not needed, they can simply update the loot tables and remove the blood/fire/glacial essences. Just like they added the extra ones for us to make a bouquet out of for Mother's day event last year. Same for planar essences for the ancient mythic amulet.

**Imsofancy** · 05-10-2015, 08:23 PM

so, will jewels be lootable like gems are? or are we going to have to buy them from some npc?

So its three pairs of same class jewels to form 1 jewel with highier class. The 2,187 cracked jewels to farm is not bad. As long as the drop rate is comparable with the essence drop rates.

Assuming you will farm for the jewels and you won't buy any. At this rate were going to need to farm 32,805 cracked for a complete set. Lets say that your going to loot 5 cracked jewel per run means you need to do 6,561 runs. If you run for an average of 200 runs a day, it means you would complete 15 noble gems in approximately 33 days or 1 month and 3 days. Well, this would definately hold the players to do something for now. And will continue to do so as long as more type jewels comes in the future.

Im 100% sure im not going to farm this amount of jewels, instead i buy most, these cracked jewels will be available in cs for 500-1000 gold just like the regular gems now, I will sell also what I dont need str, int jewels and keep the dex ones.
