let's make an example. X player owns a 700% gold loot set. He farms millions a day. STS decides to introduce "Awakening Jewels" which you can farm and they grant you an specific bonus depending their type. Mmm let's say that an Exquisite Gold Loot Jewel adds a 30% Gold Loot per jewel equipped. Now X player starts farming and buying those jewels. He gets 21 of them so he can upgrade all his gear pieces with them. Do the math. 21 jewels that grant a 30% bonus each is equivalent to 630% extra gold loot, only in jewels. Now let's add his 700% Gold Loot from normal awakes with the extra 630% he just got from jewels. This becomes the insane amount of 1,330% of Gold Loot. Can you imagine how much gold would X player earn per day by farming in the high level maps? This would ruin the economy in Arcane Legends, leading to another wave of overpricers and more shady activities as the gold flow increased. I used random numbers for this example, but you can make an idea.
Change the numbers and it is balanced? 1% per jewel? 0.5% per jewel? (Example is very low on purpose to show that you can balance via gl % factors)
But I think he means a completely new type of jewel and not an awakening for the existing ones.

-1 for me in that case because I like jewels to be for stats only. Bd/speed/haste jewels sound more interesting to me.
