This isn’t even worth a poll. Anyone who’s tried yellow would never go back to red
when pyshical attack mobs start doing 1 damage to you, not much more health is needed.
But the problem is the mages, we need some gems that give magic defense.
We have those. They are called blue gems and they go into your boots.

lol, thanks, i didnt realise that.
Versus magic mobs of course red gems are better in armor. As an archer I prefer red gems with my low hp and because we can dodge 80% anything physical with high evasion.
What’s great about yellow gems is that level 5 is usually enough for you to get that sweet “1” with aspersion. (assuming you use a shield)
I would say it’s dependant on Class.
Stuff like doppel is useless with yellow since DOV negates all armor.
Generally Archers are better off with red and Swordies are with yellow Wizards/Clerics can go either way

this is like saying
“how about barb1 cata1 highlander 1”
“Why must it be cata 3?”
just kidding, but usually gems like these can only be effective when stacked.
Example, having one level 6 red gem, assuming you have little def/mdef, gives absoulutely nothing, possibly 1 more mage attack or 1 more strong physical attack, little difference if you are getting attacked by a number of monsters. 4 red gems make a big difference though
^ Pretty much this. Stacking one will benefit it way more.
for example 4k HP > is able to take up to 1-2 shots more or buffer. 1 gem itself makes little differences.
Another example aspersion with 4 yellow (60 pdef) each = 240 >>> aspersion gives you 50% more def —> that’s 360. Versus 2 yellow which is only half the bonus 180def.
Of course you can balance it out it isn’t bad but it really depends on how “good your defensive equipment here is” Gems are basically for you to mix and match. no one should “Critise” you of your inputs as long as you know what you are aiming for
The most important thing comes into mind is balance. For example swordies have more HP than usual ( 20-22k) with 0 con invested.
with 4 reds it will boost to 24~26k you will just be able to take 2-6 hits more.
With defenses here you will reduce the intake damage to 500-700 this will enable you to take 28 hits / 8 hits more.
It will make sense to stack defensive more than HP. Since 20-22k pool is kinda big enough to take 10-20 hits of 1k -> 2k damage Considering your defenses ( plate/cloth)
Take this from a moba point of view. STACK HP> when HP gain is more valuable than defenses. When you have a huge pool of HP stack defenses to reduce/cut damage so it will be of more value (since more hp doesn’t help that much)

gem won’t be a issue until pass 280 anyway… so… 
virtov plate + 2 lv6 yellow gem= mini solmiki plate for any non ET player. Does yellow gem stack with transcendence effect?
No idea, but looking at it doesn’t stack with weapons you can say it doesn’t.
Prolly only base.
Answer is simple:
for PvP = red gem
for PvM = yellow gem
Need someone to test
Gems on weapon (like red) > No changes on the physical attack value of the weapon, changes apply on stats
trans doesn’t work
Gems on armor (yellow) > The defense value of the item directly gets updated. Example, 100 def to 150 def written on the item desc when you use yellow gem lv5
trans might work (?)
afaik blue gems on corona rods also get multiplied by transcedence.
So yellow gems on armor should work the same.
confirmed it works, check this thread lol 700 def lolopanther
it doesn’t sadly.
I have a 60% +15 trans it adds normally after that.
