The forge in Evony: Age II allows you to add gems to your gear (See gear info here). The gems (not gemstones) you can add are Rubies, Sapphires, Topazes and go from level 1-10.
To acquire these gems you have to purchase them in the shop (does anyone know if you can get these any other way?). Like medals they come in chests. Each chest offers you 1-2 of each type of gem. A Wooden Chest that offers level 1-3 gems, Bronze Chest offers level 4-6 gems, and Royal Chest which offers level 7-9 gems.
Sapphire Gem: Offers bonus intelligence attributes to hero
Ruby Gem: Offers bonus attack attributes to hero
Topaz Gem: Offers bonus politic attributes to hero.
Level of Gems: The level of the gem offers (level x 2) - 1 bonus points to their respective categories. For example, a level 2 sapphire adds 3 (2x2-1=3) bonus intel attribute points to your hero.
BONUS ATTRIBUTES
Level 1 GEM: +1 Attribute
Level 2 GEM: +3 Attribute
Level 3 GEM: +5 Attribute
Level 4 GEM: +7 Attribute
Level 5 GEM: +9 Attribute
Level 6 GEM: +11 Attribute
Level 7 GEM: +13 Attribute
Level 8 GEM: +15 Attribute
Level 9 GEM: +17 Attribute
You can also go to the advanced gem smelting tab of the forge and smelt two equal level gems into a higher one.
NOTES
You can only inlay a gem that is the same level as the gear you are adding it to. For example I can only apply a level 1 gem to a level 1 weaponry gear.
You can inlay the same gem on multiple items provided they meet the level requirement
Just letting you guys know, that I did find a gem when I attacked a level 3 NPC. It was a level 1 topaz. So they are out there, but I suppose the drop rate is really low.
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess they drop from Npc's in specific.
ReplyDeleteHow do you inlay them?
ReplyDeleteGems can be found in NPC's and valleys but the wood ore and fabric needed for weapons has to be bought using cents
