Jewelcrafting Guide

Jewelcrafting lets you turn Raw Gems into usable gemstones, unlock gemstone slots on equipment, and socket those gemstones for permanent bonuses while the equipment is worn.

Quick facts: Equipment can have up to 2 gemstone slots. Each piece can only contain one gemstone from the same stat family, so you cannot stack two Defense gemstones on the same item.

Jewelcrafting at a Glance

Obtain a Raw Gem, usually through Mining.
Use a Jewel Cutter at the Jewelcrafter to refine it into a gemstone.
Unlock one or two gemstone slots on a suitable weapon, armor piece, or shield.
Socket the gemstone into compatible equipment.
If you change your build later, gemstones can be removed through Gemstone Unsocketing.

1. Refining Raw Gems

Bring a Jewel Cutter and a Raw Gem to the Jewelcrafter NPC. Place both items into the refining window, press Refine, and wait for the refining process to finish.

Requirement	Details
Jewel Cutter	Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum Jewel Cutter.
Raw Gem	Orange, Purple, Red, Blue, Green, Aqua, Gold, Silver, Pink, Shiraz, Cyan, or Malachite.
Raw Gem consumed	Exactly 1 per refine.
Cutter durability	1 durability point per refine.
Refine failure	None. A valid completed refine always produces one gemstone.

The Raw Gem decides the stat family. The Jewel Cutter decides how likely you are to receive a higher-quality gemstone.

Gemstone Quality & Tiers

Every gemstone family contains 25 tiers, divided into five quality bands:

Quality	Tier range
Poor	Tier 1–5
Decent	Tier 6–10
Good	Tier 11–15
Excellent	Tier 16–20
Perfect	Tier 21–25

After the quality band is rolled, the server randomly selects one of the five tiers inside that band with equal probability.

Individual Tier Chance = Quality Band Chance ÷ 5

Jewel Cutter Rates

Cutter	Poor	Decent	Good	Excellent	Perfect
Bronze	40%	30%	18%	9%	3%
Silver	25%	28%	25%	15%	7%
Gold	12%	20%	28%	25%	15%
Platinum	5%	10%	20%	30%	35%

Useful Cutter Stats

Cutter	Excellent or better	Perfect	Average rolled tier
Bronze	12%	3%	8.25
Silver	22%	7%	10.55
Gold	40%	15%	13.55
Platinum	65%	35%	17.00

For example, Platinum has a 35% Perfect chance. Because Perfect contains five equally likely tiers, each individual Perfect tier has a 7% chance:

35% ÷ 5 = 7% chance for each Tier 21, 22, 23, 24, or 25 gemstone

Likewise, Bronze has a 3% Perfect chance, which means each individual Perfect tier has only a 0.6% chance.

Raw Gem Families

Raw Gem	Gemstone stat	Can be socketed into
Orange	Defense Ratio	Armor / Shield
Purple	Magic Resistance	Armor / Shield
Red	HP Recovery	Armor / Shield
Blue	MP Recovery	Armor / Shield
Green	SP Recovery	Armor / Shield
Aqua	Knockback Resistance	Armor / Shield
Gold	Stun Resistance	Armor / Shield
Silver	Hit Ratio	Weapon
Pink	Extra EXP	Weapon
Shiraz	Extra Gold	Weapon
Cyan	Consecutive Attack Damage (CAD)	Weapon
Malachite	Poison Damage	Weapon

Tip: The gemstone's exact bonus is determined by its tier and is shown directly on the gemstone tooltip in-game. Higher-tier gemstones within the same family give a stronger version of that family's stat.

2. Unlocking Gemstone Slots

Before a gemstone can be inserted, the equipment must have an open slot. Slot Enhancement supports weapons, shields, and normal equipment pieces such as helmets, armor, arms, pants, and leggings.

Upgrade	Gold cost per attempt	Success chance	On failure
0 → 1 Slot	5,000,000 Gold	80%	Gold is consumed; equipment remains unchanged.
1 → 2 Slots	10,000,000 Gold	60%	Gold is consumed; existing slot and gemstones remain intact.

The equipment itself is not destroyed when Slot Enhancement fails.

Slot Enhancement Formula & Expected Cost

Each attempt is an independent random roll from 1 to 100:

Success if Random Roll ≤ Slot Success Rate

The theoretical average number of attempts needed is:

Average Attempts = 1 ÷ Success Rate

Slot	Success	Average attempts	Theoretical average Gold cost
First Slot	80%	1.25	6,250,000 Gold
Second Slot	60%	1.67	Approximately 16,666,667 Gold

These are long-run averages, not guarantees. You can succeed on the first attempt or fail several times in a row.

Chance to Unlock Both Slots

If you succeed on the first attempt for both upgrades:

80% × 60% = 48% chance to open both slots with exactly two attempts

The minimum Gold needed for a perfect two-attempt run is 15,000,000 Gold.

3. Socketing a Gemstone

Once equipment has an empty slot, double-click the gemstone in your inventory and select the target equipment.

Socketing itself has no failure chance.
The gemstone is consumed only when all socketing rules pass.
Armor/shield gemstones cannot be inserted into weapons.
Weapon gemstones cannot be inserted into armor or shields.
The target must have at least one empty gemstone slot.
The same gemstone stat family cannot be used twice on the same equipment.

Same-Family Rule

The two slots are meant for different stat families. A stronger gem does not bypass this rule.

Example: If Slot 1 already contains a Defense gemstone, Slot 2 cannot contain another Defense gemstone even if the second one is a different tier. You could combine Defense + Magic Resistance, Defense + HP Recovery, and so on.

When Gemstone Bonuses Apply

Gemstone bonuses are part of the equipment's stats. The bonus is applied while the socketed equipment is equipped, together with the rest of that item's effects.

Gemstone family	Server stat affected
Defense Ratio	Defense Ratio
Magic Resistance	Magic Resistance
HP Recovery	HP Recovery bonus
MP Recovery	MP Recovery bonus
SP Recovery	SP Recovery bonus
Knockback Resistance	Knockback Resistance
Stun Resistance	Stun Resistance
Hit Ratio	Hit Ratio
Extra EXP	Extra EXP %
Extra Gold	Extra Gold %
CAD	Consecutive Attack Damage
Poison Damage	Additional Poison Damage

4. Removing Gemstones

If you want to change a build, Gemstone Unsocketing removes an existing gemstone and returns it to you.

Selection	Gold cost	Success rate	Result
One Slot	10,000,000 Gold	100%	The selected gemstone is removed and returned.
Both Slots	15,000,000 Gold	100%	Both gemstones are removed and returned.

Unsocketing does not destroy the gemstone. If your inventory cannot receive a returned gemstone, the server attempts to place it on the ground at your character's position instead.

Good value: Removing both gemstones together costs 15,000,000 Gold instead of 20,000,000 Gold for two separate one-slot removals.

Inventory Rules While Refining

A single Raw Gem can reuse its own inventory slot after it is consumed. However, if your Raw Gems are stacked and more than one remains after the refine, you need another free inventory slot for the finished gemstone.

Raw Gem stack before refining	Extra free slot needed?
1 Raw Gem	No. Its consumed slot can be reused for the result.
2 or more Raw Gems	Yes. The remaining Raw Gem stack continues occupying its slot.

The Jewel Cutter remains selected for another refine as long as it still has durability remaining.

Where Raw Gems Come From

Raw Gems are closely connected to the Mining system:

Mining resource	Raw Gems
Rock	Orange, Purple, Red, Blue, Green, Aqua
Crystal	Gold, Silver, Pink, Shiraz, Cyan, Malachite

Jewelcrafting Achievements

A successful Raw Gem refine counts toward the Jewelcrafting achievement activity. Successful gemstone socketing, slot upgrades, failed slot upgrades, and gemstone unsocketing also have their own achievement hooks in the current server.

Recommended Progression

Mine or obtain Raw Gems.
Use cheaper cutters when you mainly need a usable gemstone.
Use Gold or Platinum Cutters when targeting high-tier gems.
Unlock the first equipment slot first; its 80% success rate is considerably safer.
Reserve the second slot for equipment you expect to keep, because it costs more and succeeds at 60%.
Choose two different stat families that complement the build.
Unsocket valuable high-tier gems before replacing equipment if you want to reuse them.

In short: Raw Gem color chooses the stat, Jewel Cutter quality influences the tier, Slot Enhancement creates room for the gemstone, and socketing itself is guaranteed as long as the gemstone and equipment are compatible.
