Want to establish yourself as a player that sends shivers down the enemy’s spine? Gems might just exactly be what you were looking for! The extra bonuses they offer will provide you a much-needed edge when taking on Aeternum’s backbreaking missions.
Players will start to find Tier 3 gear with empty gem slots upon hitting level 20 and beyond. ‘Cut Gemstone’ is the crafted material that can be placed in these spaces to acquire an enhanced damage and robust defense.
But to obtain an item of such high worth, something of equal value must be lost. Therefore, you are looking at putting in a lot of sweat while being dependant on luck to turn the tides in your favor.
How to Get Gems in New World?
To get gems in New World, you can mine Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Starmetal, and Orichalcum ores. Out of all the mentioned ores, Silver and Iron deposits that are found in Windsward have the best chance to drop Gems.
It must also be kept in mind that obtaining Gems is down to luck mainly since they are rare drops.
As a result, you will have to boost your mining luck by equipping a Miner’s Charm, crafting a pickaxe with enhanced luck chance, and eating luck food like:
Roasted Potatoes – Roasted Potatoes – 1 x Peppercorn, 1 x Butter, 1 x Potato.
Herb-Roasted Potatoes – Herb-Roasted Potatoes – 1 x Cinnamon, 1 x Butter, 1 x Honey, 1 x Potato
Unfortunately, even with luck on your side, all your efforts to obtain gems can turn out futile.
The best method to get Gems in New World involves farming the Amrine Temple Expedition. After reaching level 23, go through to this dungeon a bunch of times, and who knows, it might turn out to be a lucky day for you!
If you are going to farm the Amrine Excavation, I suggest you craft umpteen Amrine tuning orbs as they are required to enter the expedition.
Here’s how what you need to make Amrina tuning orbs in New World:
- Corrupted Silver x10
- Iron Chisel x1
- Stone Block x50
- Eternal Heart x1
What Should I do with Raw Gemstones in New World?
Obtaining a Raw Gemstone is just the beginning. It has to be polished further to be attached to your weapon and armors. Furthermore, a mote synonymous with that particular Gemstone is also needed for its crafting.
Once you have acquired the corresponding motes, you can refine the Raw Gemstone at the Stone Cutting table to obtain the crafted ‘Cut Gems.’ These polished gems can be attached to any gear that packs a socket.
Note: Even if you sit at Level 0 in Stonecutting, a gem can be crafted. However, a higher rank will be needed to refine a higher-tier gem.
Here is a list of motes and their location
| Mote | Location |
| Death Motes | Blightroot in Lake Genevieve, Blightcrag node in Windsward and First Light |
| Water Motes | Rivercress in Windsward and Everfall, Springstone node in Monarch’s Bluffs |
| Soul Motes | Soulsprout in Everfall and Windsward, Soulspire node in Everfall and Windsward |
| Earth Motes | Earthcrag node in Windsward and First Light, Earthspine in Brigand’s Pass and Weaver’s Fen |
| Fire Motes | Scorchstone mining node, Dragonglory in Windsward |
| Air Motes | Shockspire node in Windsward and First Light, Shockbulb in Monarch’s Bluff |
