Gems and Sockets

Gems and Item Sockets

Gems are Socketable precious Gemstones that hold powerful magic effects in its composition.

According to “Neo Age” researchers, those minerals absorbed a large amount of mana from the soil of Efria during its growth after the explosion of the Ancient Weapon. This magical potential can shared among other materials through close contact, when placed in Sockets that are embedded in Weapons, Armors and Robes.

Drills

Drills are items that can make a hole in your Weapon or Armor. This hole is called Socket and allows you to insert a Gem inside it.

Drills can only be crafted by Smithery Master, Salon in Ricarten Town.

There are 6 different drills to open a Common Socket:

Drills:

	Name	Description
	Iron Drill	Create a random Common Socket
	Ruby Drill	Create a Ruby Common Socket
	Aquamarine Drill	Create an Aquamarine Common Socket
	Emerald Drill	Create an Emerald Common Socket
	Topaz Drill	Create a Topaz Common Socket
	Amethyst Drill	Create an Amethyst Common Socket

Drilling an Item

Right click on the Drill and choose an eligible item to create a Socket. Only one Socket Type (Common and Extended) is allowed per item.

Note: Only Weapons and Armor/Robes can be drilled. Drilling is not possible on Costumes and other items.

The result depends on the type of Drill used.

You can get Prismatic Socket by any type of Drill. This is a rare type of Socket that accepts any type of Gem to be introduced.

Sockets:

	Name	Description
	Ruby Socket	Allows Ruby to be inserted.
	Aquamarine Socket	Allows Aquamarine to be inserted
	Emerald Socket	Allows Emerald to be inserted
	Topaz Socket	Allows Topaz to be inserted
	Amethyst Socket	Allows Amethyst to be inserted
	Prismatic Socket	Allows any Gem to be inserted

Extended Sockets

Extended Socket is a secondary form of Sockets that can be combined with a common Socket to insert another Gem into the same item. It can only be obtained by using an Extender Drill.

Extended Sockets are independent and don’t rely on the Common Socket to exist.

They can be identified by the "plus" icon above in the upper right corner of the socket.

Note: If an item has an empty Common Socket and an empty Extended Socket, the Gem will always be inserted into the Common Socket first.

Extender Drills:

	Name	Description
	Extender Drill	Create a random Extended Socket

Note: Extender Drill works exactly like Iron Drill, in that the resulting Socket is of random type.

Removing a Sockets

Sockets can be removed from an item by "filling the hole" with a Socket Filler crafted by Smithery Master, Salon in Ricarten Town.

Socket Fillers:

	Name	Description
	Socket Filler	Removes a Common Socket.
	Extended Socket Filler	Removes an Extended Socket.

Note:If you have both the Common Socket and the Extended Socket on your item, and you're using the Socket Filler to remove the Common Socket, the Extended Socket will remain an Extended Socket. There is no situation where an Extended Socket would "decay" into a Common Socket.

Note: If there is a gem inside the socket, it will also be destroyed.

Gems

Gems are obtained by cutting rough Gemstones. These minerals grow in various locations on the continent and need to be mined with a Pickaxe, Experienced miners can obtain Gem Shards more easily.

There are five different types of clusters that can be mined, each comes with its respective shard.

Gem Shards:

	Name	Description
	Ruby Shard	Provides Strength Points when polished
	Aquamarine Shard	Provides Spirit Points when polished
	Emerald Shard	Provides Talent Points when polished
	Topaz Shard	Provides Agility Points when polished
	Amethyst Shard	Provides Health Points when polished

Cutting

A Gem Shard in its raw form cannot yet be inserted into a socket. It is necessary for it to be polished and cut by Alchemy Master, Yoric in Phillai Town.

The cut shape will define the amount of status given by the gem, and the color will define what stat.

For example, a Triangular Topaz will provide +3 Agility and a Pentagonal Amethyst will provide +15 Health.

Cut Shapes:

	Name	Description
	Triangular Cut	+3 Stat Points
	Square Cut	+9 Stat Points
	Pentagonal Cut	+15 Stat Points

Inserting a Gem into a Socket

First of all, it is necessary to confirm that the item has a Socket that accepts the Gem color. Then press the right button on the Gem and insert it into the desired item.

Note: For Daggers and Fists, the bonus provided by gems is only applied to the weapon placed in the left hand.
