Gems

Template:Gems Not counting one-off items like the Arcane Focus, there are two types of gems: skill-based resource gems and loot-based common gems.

Resource Gems

Resource gems are earned by grandmaster or better anglers, lumberjacks, and miners while they are plying their respective trades. Resource-based gems have a flat chance of being discovered on each successful attempt to fish, chop wood, or mine. There is a 0.6% chance of fishing/lumberjacking/mining up a gem.

For miners, the gem type is totally random - it's not affected by the underlying ore. There is an equal chance of getting any of the six gem types.

Name	Value
Amber Citrine	Approximately 50 Gold
Ruby Tourmaline	Approximately 75 Gold
Amethyst Emerald Sapphire	Approximately 100 Gold
Star Sapphire	Approximately 125 Gold
