Show and Materialize Gems

  • To see the gems you have, you can use the Player Wand on you and select Player Tools --> View my Gems.
  • Alternatively, you can call the gem inventory panel by typing the quick chat command -my_gems in chat TALK mode. 
  • On that panel you can see all the gems available to you at that moment. By pressing the the materialize button, that gem gets removed from the gems inventory, and added back to your character inventory (in case you need to trade it!).
  • If you try to transfer a gem from your inventory to your vault, the gem will be removed from the game, and gets automatically added to your gems inventory.

Socket a Gem

To socket a gem into an item, you have 3 ways:
  • Equip that item, and use its unique power on you.
  • Use the Player Wand on that item, and select Work with this item --> Socket this item.
  • Use the quick chat command -socket, and then target the item you want to socket with the cursor.

Regardless of the option chosen, the socket user interface panel will show up.
  • There you will see all the slots available for that item, and on the left panel, a list of possible gems that can be socketed on it.
  • Just press the + button to socket that gem, or press the - button to remove a socketed gem from an item.
  • To save, just close the window, and you are good to go!
