people cannot make them.
many say they are not a good idea because you end up with stupidly high stats. Lets hope that if they put gem making back into game-(no sooner than 6 months from now I hope) will be harder to find ingredients, higher make fail rate, higher fail when used. Maybe even a time consuming mind blowingly nasty quest for the items(kill 500 evil apes solo).

Gems are a good idea, if its was like Euro

Lets be honest max anyone realisticly got on euro was +3 with the ODD +4/+5.

Gems take alot of items out of the game, so are good for the economy.



Orbs how-ever, suck donkey dick and should not be implemented, if you want high stats, take a risk bro

Agree. gems are quite good for the economy.

The amount of items that get destroyed means certain items keep their value. Kbraces, DBraces etc are perfect example. Without gems they soon become worthless due to how many are in circulation. But add gems, loads get destroyed and they are also good items to buy to use gems on.

Unless gems have a much higher fail/destroy rate than most p servers, the ++ rate is capped and making them is a really hard boring slog.
Then yes they take items out of circulation. but seein as there aren't that many items to destroy........
Might keep the gold going around but do +++stat items affect game in a good way?

This isn't a med/high rate like most other servers. You won't see people gemming to +7 on every item here.

Like skyline said they are good for the economy, more of them in game should be welcomed.

I like how gems are at the moment, keeps stats in check, they are not common but not mega rare either.

Only gems I would like to be craft able are the MR/PR/Speed/Slow/Acc/Agil/PA and not the MC/SC/DC.

I don't want med high rate +7 gemming. I don't think they are good for the economy. How can they be good for the economy when many are complaining that's its hard to make gold and about the drop rates.
Are you wanting people to be able to make gems to earn money? Wouldn't mind if it was harder more boring and took longer than any other server I have seen. Then they failed to make more often and also destroyed failed to upgrade item more often

You misread my post. I said this is not a med/high rate, so therefore you won't see +7 gemming like you do on other servers.

Skyline said exactly why they are good for the economy - The amount of items that get destroyed means certain items keep their value. Kbraces, DBraces etc are perfect example. Without gems they soon become worthless due to how many are in circulation. But add gems, loads get destroyed and they are also good items to buy to use gems on.

They keep money circulating.

if gems are done right, and +2 is pretty much all people will be willing to attempt, +3 at a BIG push, then there will be no issues.

+2 won't be easy either, even +1 won't be guaranteed. So you won't see everyone running around with +2/3 on every item.

All depends on how they are set to work.
