Gems

Template:Gems Not counting one-off items like the Arcane Focus, there are two types of gems: skill-based resource gems and loot-based common gems.

Resource Gems

Resource gems are earned by grandmaster or better anglers, lumberjacks, and miners while they are plying their respective trades. Resource-based gems have a flat chance of being discovered on each successful attempt to fish, chop wood, or mine. There is a 0.6% chance of fishing/lumberjacking/mining up a gem.

For miners, the gem type is totally random - it's not affected by the underlying ore. There is an equal chance of getting any of the six gem types.
