Editing Gemeralds

{{Items and trading sidebar}}
'''Gemeralds''' are valuable gems that come in four colours (Green, Amber, Purple and Red) plus the rarer '''Pluperfect Gemerald'''. They are used to boost [[Tools]] for a while and to pay for late [[Relay Network]] progression and [[Transmutation]] conversions.

== Getting gemeralds ==

* '''Gem Bags''' are opened from your inventory and give random coloured gemeralds. Green is the most common colour and Red the rarest. Tiny, Small and full [[Gem Bag]]s exist, and bigger bags hold more gems.
* [[Prospecting]]: adventuring [[Pets]] bring back Gem Bags.
* A full Gem Bag can also drop as a [[Rare Items|Rare Item]], and [[Bosses]] such as [[Minibosses]] can reward bags to a lucky damage dealer.
* Pluperfect Gemeralds are a Rare Item drop, and Minibosses can give one random damage dealer a few of them.
* [[Transmutation]] converts between colours and Pluperfect, see below.
* They can also be bought and sold on the [[Market]].

== Tool augments ==

The '''Lapidist''' [[Prestige]] perk lets you augment [[Tools]] with the four coloured gemeralds. Using a gemerald on a Tool gives that Tool a temporary action multiplier for a limited time.

* The Tool must be at its natural top level (level 50) before you can add or extend an augment.
* Each Lapidist level adds one augment slot per Tool, up to four.
* A new colour uses up a slot on that Tool. Using the same colour again extends its time instead of adding a second multiplier.
* Gemeralds are consumed one at a time.

Augments are timed, so plan an active session before spending them.

== Pluperfect Gemeralds ==

A Pluperfect Gemerald is not a Tool augment. It is used in advanced [[Relay]] progression and in [[Transmutation]], so do not base-sell it. Late [[Recovery]] and other Bay Modules and upgrades have gemerald costs, including Pluperfect.

== Transmutation ==

[[Transmutation]] changes gemeralds between colours, so you can turn what you have into what a Bay or upgrade needs:
* Lower colours can be combined upward (Green, Amber, Purple, then Red), and higher colours broken back down at a loss.
* One of each of the four colours makes one Pluperfect Gemerald, and Pluperfect can be split back into colours.
* Pluperfect is also used in some Boost upscale recipes there.
