Gems

Gems are a type of Mineral notable for their vibrant, often colorful, appearance. They are used primarily for decorative purposes, but their rarity also makes them useful as Currency and as a means of storing wealth. Most types of Gem are found in both The Old World and The New World, but some are unique to one or the other.

Many Gems are useful Resources for Crafting and may be harvested by players while Adventuring in The Wilds. Players who encounter previously unknown Gems should generally document the discovery in their Adventure Report, though they are not required to do so except in the case of Resource Nodes, such as a large vein or crystal made up of a single type of Gem.
