Gems
As you can notice, there is a new gem look, but also there are new gem qualities: Radiant, Square, Star, and Marquise.
These new gems can't be droped - only chipped - flawless qulities, rarely perfect. So how can you get them? Easy, just kill superbosses (Gremak, Nah-Gul, Troubleshooter, Dark Figher, Wirewind, Deathclaw, Hideous, Swampface, Darkblood, Treefoot, Graytongue, Spellfire, Arrowtwist and Sin Walkers) on hell difficulty. These bosses drop special scrolls (recipes) which you can use to create new gem qualities. Although, they are quite expensive. For cubing 1 Marquise gem, you'll need 81 Perfect gems! Besides all the special recipes (which you'll need to get droped).
Gemwords
Something like runewords, but with gems. Cheaper, but less powerful. In any case, something very useful when playing a new character. There are many gemwords you can create, but I won't make a list of them here. Explore the game, unlock Hint Scrolls, and you'll get the full list of them. Though I can unbosom, they are mostly casting skills on kill (helmets), striking (weapons) or getting hit (armors).
Explore and reveal their bonuses. They will surely be very useful to you. Good luck finding all the combinations.
Have you got any questions? Any suggestions? Feel free to leave a coment below!
Next article will be about new bosses. Stay tuned!
Wish you all happy playing :)
I am fighting with some kind of "unused - tell ken" deamons often dropping "unused - tell ken" items. what I supposed to do with such items?
Where are the monsters exactly?
Awesome mod. I love how it respects the vanilla version of the game and doesn't change it drastically.
However, the game is very difficult, and I love that it is.
I'm trying to find a solution to the difficulty. I want to make gem words but I don't know any good ones. I can't unlock the hint scrolls because I have no hero's achievements. I understand I get Hero's achievements by doing optional quests, but are optional quests hard?
For example, I cannot complete the second level of a dungeon because of the difficulty/monster lvl of a monster pack, or special/unique mob. If the optional quests are the same I wont be able to unlock hint scrolls to get more powerful (Catch-22). I feel stuck in a cycle of being underpowered with no opportunity to get out of it.
Ill keep playing to hopefully find a good rare weapon, or take the essences' from rares to craft one. This may be my only option at this point.
Awesome mod by the way. Just had some questions about progression and difficulty.^^
The quests are not that difficult. Mostly it's about killing three or four superunique monsters ;)
Wish you happy plaing ;)

So, just downloaded the mod and i like it for now, but i was wondering if there is a list of gemwords somewhere? I just don't have the time to try out all combinations
The basic gemwords are 2x the same gem (chipper, flawed or standard quality) and 3x the same gem for flawless and perfect. The gems must be the same (same quality, same type), and the gemwords work for weapons, shields, chest armors and helmets. There are some more, which you can discover by unlocking hint scrolls ;)
Nice, thanks for the quick reply!
No problem!
Wish you happy playing ;)
