Weapon Gem Crafting Tips, Tricks, and Step-by-Step guide
By Evermore Wardens
Weapon Gems can be a game-changer in combat, providing an added layer of damage and unique effects to heavy attacks. Among the myriad of choices, we particularly recommend the Frost Gem. Not only does it pack a significant punch in terms of damage, but it also has a chance at slowing down the enemy.
before you begin
Do you have what you need?
Crafting a Weapon Gem costs 1,000 Gold per tier. Ensure you have sufficient funds before crafting. Also, check our Weapon Gen Crafting Recipes to ensure you have all the ingredients you need.
Check your Materials Inventory
If your Materials Inventory is full, the Weapon Gem Crafter will not let you craft settings. Transfer the materials you don’t need to your Stash to make some room. You can also temporarily drop them in the Metaverse, but they will vanish over time or if someone lurks in your Space.
Check your Weapon
Check your weapon before crafting to make sure you have unlocked a gem slot. For every 5 levels gained, a new slot becomes available. By the time your weapon hits level 20, all four slots will be unlocked. Each of these slots is aligned to the heavy attacks of your melee combos. If your resources are limited, start with the first and fourth slots. The first slot is just one click away and the final, fourth slot is your best heavy finisher and inflicts the most damage.
Tier Matters
Always verify your weapon’s tier before selecting a gem tier for crafting. If the gem’s tier exceeds the weapon’s, you won’t be able to fit it. However, you can always incorporate gems of a lower tier into your weapon.
Gem Ranges
Every Weapon Gem you craft has a randomly rolled min and max range. If you don’t achieve the desired range on the first attempt, keep trying. Gems with broader ranges typically offer a wider spectrum between minimum and maximum, leading to potentially higher damage output. However, they may lack consistency. On the other hand, mid-range gems have a more narrow range between their minimum and maximum values, ensuring more predictable numbers.
Rearranging Gems
In Big Time you can rearrange gems slot to slot, but moving a slotted gem from one slot to another will cost 1,000 Gold per tier per gem you move. You can also replace gems for the same cost.
