New page

==Creating and Spending Gems==

According to the official [[Caravan FAQ]] it sounds as if the Jeweler will have a way to create gems.

::The Jeweler crafts gems, amulets, and rings. The jeweler can also remove gems from socketed items and can combine gems to improve their quality. <ref>http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/systems/crafting.xml</ref>

What, "crafts gems" means isn't yet known, but if [[materials]] can be spent to create new gems, that could radically change the time table for crafting up top level gems.

		+	[[File:Gem-emerald-l3.jpg\|frame\|L3 Emerald bonuses.]]
		+
		+
		+	Little is yet known of the bonuses gems will provide. It's widely-assumed that the higher level gems will grant very high bonuses, and that the bonuses won't simply increase at say, +3 per level. That doesn't seem like enough of an improvement to make the months and months of collecting and upgrading required to create a L14 gem worth it.
		+
		+	As for what the gems will provide bonuses to, that's also unknown. Jay Wilson commented on this from Gamescom 2010:
