Ok, so after about 150 hours of gameplay i dropped a monster’s gem.
The only single thing i know about them is that they’re kind of… super rare and nothing else. Can’t find information about them, impossible to know what they do when equipped into weapons… only sure thing is that they’ll disappear if you take them out of a socket.
Anyone knows anything more about these gems?
You can search them on:
At the bottom it will say what skills they enhance.
It used to say in-game, however it doesn’t seem to now. (Bug probably.)
OK i found it but… wjhat does it mean that they “enchance a skill”? i mean that’s like super vague
They literally just give +1 level to the skill.
I.E. You have Swashbuckling level 15, you equip a Pawndel gem, now you have Swashbuckling level 16.
Something that I don’t know is if it increases the SP cost accordingly, so if someone else could verify that, that would be cool.
Can they be enchanced like other gems so that they give +1 - +2 - +3 etc to the skill? cause otherwise, at least at a first glance, they seems kind of useless to me…
No, they can’t be enhanced.
They aren’t too great IMO either, though I saw a thread theorizing you could stack gems with things like multi-shot which gets an additional hit every level. + They wanted to use it with the old divine might, which increased skill level to like +30 something.
Nope. They cannot be leveled. Nor can you stack them. Still there are instances when monster gems can be useful.
For example: Linker C1 has maximum of 5 targets on his JP, if he slots Dandel gem he could link up to 6 monsters and that is a decent buff.
Well… i’m starting to think that for most of the gems if they could just add an only visual monster walking beside you when they’re equipped they’d be more useful in most cases 
i wish they added skill lvl 1 regardless of class. So you could add some utility for yourself/party with lvl 1 Heal from Hanaming gem (akin to Vitata card) or some other situational skill.
I’m going to hate myself for sounding like another RO fanboy, but it would be cool if they were like cards from Ragnarok. They all add unique effects instead of generic +1 to X skill.
Along with being actually tradeable. lol
They actually patched away the only good thing about monster gems - being unbreakable after extracting it from a weapon.
It seems like they want them to be super rare and super useless, unless you’re grinding days to get the one you actually need.
Staff ethan actually admitted they even reduced the dropchange even more, making they even more rare for nothing.
Remember the old RO days you got a small grey thingy dopped as a newbie, not knowing what that might be, just noticing that lil thing is worth millions later on?
Just make gems tradeable. Seriously.
Wait so you’re saying that we can’t have multiple gems on our stuff ?
Like let’s imagine i want 5 hanaming gem to skip a cleric circle, wouldn’t it work ?
Nope, their effect don’t stack.
You can have 2 in weapon and 1 in glove, but you’ll only gain +1 in the skill.
Hmm i see, well it somehow break my current build. So what’s the point about monster gems if we can’t stack it, can’t trade it, only usable to enhance regular gems ?
As for now: sacrifice them to your blue gem so you get that little m. attack or keep them hoping for future changes.
fixed it for you.
If you have Aias shield you may want to put blue gems in it too.
If I could only regen SP while summoning * cries in spanish *
Hi - Have you personally tried this or do you have a source for verification?
I’ve been reading that 2 or more in the same equipment/weapon wouldn’t work but what if just one in weapon and another one in gloves for example.
TIA!
If I remember correctly it was in an official patch note, I’ll try to find it, and edit here if I do.
EDIT: Looks like icbt-old topics were deleted it was something like this:
November, 03 - “Changed the amount of skill level that can be increased with a Monster Gem to Max +1.”
However if you can see it working in separate equipments please tell me, I’d love lv 18 in Summoning @.@
