Gemming Queries

[TheMainVein]

For gemming, is Body Luck again a factor?
And do all gems have the same success/fail/break rate?
Or do some gems have more likelihood for failing/working?

As Storm/Freeze/Accuracy gems are harder to craft do they have a higher success rate? Or are they even harder to get to work on kit?

Do gems work better for you if you make them yourselves?
Or is it literally just like 60/20/20 in percentages to work break or fail?

Any insight on gemming would be appreciated!

Thankies.

1 No. I've gemmed ++ items on minus 3 body luck.
2 Special Gems have less chance of success (Agil, Speed, Slow, Acc etc). DC MC SC are "easier".
3 As above.
4 As above.
5 No, they are a "gem" once created. Doesn't matter if you use Purity 22 Ores or Purity 15 to craft them. A Gem is a gem. No idea why people charge more for higher purity Plat etc.

Thanks for the help mate, one slight query with this one though, less chance of success meaning they're more likely to break the item or just not work?

Some people say dont gem straight after logging in, dont gem straight after dying, or straight after hunting. Has anyone noticed any patterns with gems seeming to work more frequently in certain situations? Its probably more superstition than anything else :P

Everything about the game is based on random chance. There are calculations for everything that happens but in every calculation there is a random factor.
You can swing at something and hit it for 140, next hit 320, next 70. There is only one thing that makes a difference that's luck 7 which for some reason guarantees max hit. (In a game based on chance that seems out of step.)
You can use 5 gems one day and they all work. 5 gems another time 3 break 2 not upgraded. Far as I know it's exactly the same chance every time you use a gem and nothing makes any difference to your success rate.

Logged in last night, slapped a slow gem on my DC+3 Necklace. Worked.

It's all bollocks. Same with Benes. I've made a few Luck7's now, Bodyluck had no influence on it, as I would always PK a lot.

Why do none of my gems ever work then?!

It's all decided with RNG, Everything else is just superstition.

Fate Sword DC 12-16 (4 difference)

RNG between 1 and 4 each bene that is used.

1. Your weapon gains luck
2. No effect
3. No effect
4. Your weapon is cursed.

Something along those lines.

The trick to making nice items (self-proclaimed gem king, I will accept challengers), is to never stop gemming..

Badboy I'd have desroyed 50% of your kit by now and the other 50% would be sick as ****.
