Smashed a fair bit tbh going for +1 or +2 it's not that easy and with my luck at mining taking ages to get the gems.

Every gem has worked for me, lol.

DC+4 ExpelRIng
AC+4 BIH
AC+1 DC+1 Steel Glove
DC+3 KBrace

All down to luck though, I know lots of people who are struggling to get +2.

Dunno I've had a few items break going for +1 and +2, unlucky I guess..

Can't really change it now though when people already have +4 on their kit it would be unfair to others

Not really as a lot of gemmed gear is classed as noob gear, once more higher level items start dropping there's gna be like dc/SC/mc 18 items about server will not be such a low rate, will end up being low rate exp but med/high rate stats, was never like this on euro, if you managed to get +3/4 you wear ****ing lucky, seems on here 3/4 even 5+ stats isn't hard, considering the age of the server

I guess, could just code gems to work less on items level 40+ or something, at least then people can still gem the lower level items like people already have

Actually nvm, then you're gonna have awesome low level items and crappy higher level ones which gems fail on more.. whatever is changed, people will always moan anyway

Like I said, I'm quite unlucky with gems myself.. Just cause you've seen people +3 or +4 doesn't mean it's easy to get, just seems random tbh

I do agree peoples kit shouldn't have +3/+4 on it all though, it's just because vio rings etc are so common so people just gem them.. Although ore rates seem lower for me these days

This is what it is.

On euro, peopl didn't risk going +3/4/5 as much because of a few reason

1. Things such as PowerRings were common, but not as common.
2. Gold - Gold was worth so much back in Euro. Spending 2mil on a powerring and then using 2 gems which were worth about 1.5mil each was quite a big risk for people to take. If it worked at +2 that item would sell for quite a lot, so again people wouldn't risk going for +3 and when they did and it worked, a lot of people wouldn't even risk going for anymore.

On here, gold isnt worth as much, the items can be easily obtainable so you don't really care if it breaks.

first few weeks the server opened gemming was easy could get +4 with no fails at all, plat was easily found also.. they made it harder to mine/gem hence why people struggle to get +2s

the already stupid stat items will not be removed or changed because the GMs see it as "why should the players pay for our mistakes". maybe because they are suppose to report them not abuse them lol.

So do something "because they didn't report it and abused it instead" People been playing for years everyone knows when something not right "I didn't know" isn't believable.

Yer it's kinda ridiculous... Being its spose to be low rate, all the new players haven't a chance... Especially the casual player base that don't get to play 24/7

One thing everyone is missing here... Items can drop added one of my braces for example dropped+2 so i gemmed it twice now its +4, there is also alot of orbs around. I have +3 rings these took me 2 weeks to make I made 7 +2 rings before I got the 1st one to +3, I spend on average a hour and a half a day mining normally while im at work and nothings on. Just put some effort in and stop bitching about everything on server its same people in every single thread!
