Gems

Gems can be attached to equipment at the Forge. Only one gem of each type can be socketed per piece of equipment (i.e, you cannot have three HP gems socketed to your helmet).

Gems come in levels of one through eight with eight offering the best stat improvement. You can improve your gems through Crafting. To craft gems of levels one through eight, you need three gems of the same type and level to create one gem of the same type and the next higher level.  For example, three level one PATK gems synthesize into one level two PATK gem.

In the Craft section under Other; you can also convert PATK gems into MATK, and can convert MATK into a PATK gem.

Both Level 9 and 10 require a Gem Crafting Scroll of correct level which can be obtained through consumption of diamonds and bonus events.
