Socketing Gems
1. Gems can be inserted into items with sockets.
2. You may remove or replace gems at any time.
Normal Gems
1. Normal Gems provide attribute bonuses to secondary equipment.
2. The color of the gem must match the socket color: red, yellow, or blue.
3. Normal Gems may be upgraded by combining multiple identical gems together.
4. As you level up a Normal Gem it gains a Refinement bonus, increasing the base attribute for any item the gem is socketed into.
Legendary Gems
1. Legendary Gems provide powerful bonuses to primary equipment.
2. Legendary Gems can be upgraded by combining multiple Legendary Gems of the same name and Rank as well as additional Legendary Gems for Gem Power.
3. You can improve the quality of a 5-Star gem by using a higher quality gem of the same name as an upgrade material.
4. If a 5-Star gem is socketed with Resonant Gems, their provided Gem Power can be used to help with upgrades.
Binding
Gems from different sources can drop as Bound or Unbound. Socketing an Unbound gem will bind it. Upgrading an Unbound Legendary Gem greater than Rank 5 with Bound materials will bind it.
1. Unbound Gems can be used for Socketing, Crafting or sold on the Market.
2. Bound Gems cannot be sold on the Market, but can still be used for Socketing and Crafting.
