How exactly does one create magic gems from normal ones?? I read the book in the library, it says "transform at one of the five altars"...I tried everything at the Elara shrine in the library building, but the only special thing that happened was the usual demonic laugh, which scares my char out of his wits. Someody help??!!

no no no...if you have three of the same kind of magical gem, you can exchange them for a more powerful one. you can't turn regular gems into magical ones.

It would never possible to make a normal gem to a magical... :)

Thats what i hear about "magic gems" but what the others say, you can transfom 3 magical gems (the same gem... Diamant, Topas) into a stronger magical gem :)

here are some fun numbers for you guys

there are 10 lvls of gems. taking 3 lvl 1 gems to make one lvl 2 gem....

at this rate... it will take 19683 lvl 1 gems (currently the only gem dropped) to make a lvl 10 gem. It took me about 4-5 hours to get a gem (i've gotten 4, that is the average time), so at that rate it will take 9-11 years of nonstop combat to get a lvl 10 gem.

assuming you dont fail when upgrading =). And my lvl 2 gem gives me a lvl 1 gem bonus...

But i've been told that there will be a faster way to upgrade gems.

nonetheless, i still like the gems.

Or you just pay ridiculous sums of money for them and have every person on the server fighting for your gems.

With 50 people fighting nonstop, it'd only take 80 days :D .

I hereby found the holy order of "LAAH", with the ultimate goal to create one level 10 gem of each kind and then sacrifice them all to Nargùn by letting them rot in front of the eyes of a dwarf.

Lets check Salathe's values

19683 lvl 1 gems
4.5 hours each gem

= 88573.5 hours

= 3690.5625 days

= 10.1 years

Now lets assume that instead you play illarion everyday and you spend 5 of those hours IG just looking for gems
=17714.7 days
= 48.5 years

Riight

That's longterm motivation at its finest

That's sad. :(

It's even more sad about how bad this system is. If your going to implant something like this, why not wait till it's fully functional?

No.

If you live there and you happen to find a lvl 1 magic gem, better plug it into an item right after you've found it.

And yeah, there's a demonic laugh when you pray for a bit at any altar.
