Gemstones

Any Raw Gem icon.png Any Raw Gem can be cut into a Gemstone using a Gemcutter's Wheel icon.png Gemcutter's Wheel with the success determined by the Hardness of the Raw Gem. The Carats of the Raw Gem and the complexity of the cut will give a bonus to the Cut Gem's Affluence and Labour Bonuses, however the more complex the cut the more Hardness is added at the time of the cut. An unsuccessful Cut will destroy your Raw Gem and replace it with 1-3x Gem Shard icon.png Gem Shards and 1x Fractured Gemstone icon.png Fractured Gemstone.

Gem Hardness

Any Raw Gem icon.png Any Raw Gems you find while Sifting will have a Hardness which relates to its odds of successfully being cut on a Gemcutter's Wheel icon.png Gemcutter's Wheel - the Harder the Raw Gem, the less chance of success. Hardness is determined at the time of Sifting based on a your Mines & Mountains icon.png Mines & Mountains Proficiency and chance. Additionally, each different Gem Cut will add a fixed amount of Hardness at the time of cutting.

Building Structures

Selecting a structure from the build menu or its sub-menus will place a Building Blueprint Sign at the position of the cursor and then clicking a valid building location on the ground will place the sign and open a window prompting the player to deposit the necessary materials and build the structure.

Each material is followed by a series of three numbers.

  • The first indicates how many of that resource are needed but have not been deposited.
  • The second number indicates how many of that resource have been deposited but have not been built into the structure.
  • The third number indicates how many of that resource have been built into the structure.

Players can take their time building structures by depositing and committing resources to the build sign by clicking the "build" button. The character will build as much of the structure as they can with the available resources. They can return with more resources in the future.

Note that if no resources are deposited, the build sign will disappear when the player walks away. If resources are deposited, but the player hasn't built them into the structure, the uncommitted resources will slowly disappear over time. This is to combat players using build signs as cheap and overpowered storage containers they can deposit and retrieve resources from.
