Black Gems

[NachoMama]

I finally managed to get a black gem. +190 all stats, while my other gems were typically 450-490 (seems as though all the 490+ gems I get are secondary stats for my toon so I have to use them on my tower pals).

Wow! Congrats on the black gems. That's the highest numbers I've seen posted for the black gems. All of the others I've seen are 100-113.

And those are really high numbers for the other gems as well.

I need to start upgrading my gem mine!

Hi nacho mama nice to see you are still around. gratz on the black gem. 190 all stat compared 450 1 stat seems kinda low but is good if you are having to use off stat gems for your companions or even yourself.

Thanks Bobo.

I just picked up another one. +206, while I also recently picked up a +435 INT and a +465 CON.

Toon is at 358, my HOK is at 15, Guild HOK is at 489, and my gem mine is only at 11.

Especially if you've already maxed out your luck.

I'm seeing 800+ on single stat gems and 400+ on black gems so it looks a little better.

I guess the question is ... 7,200 primary vs 3,600 each?

For me, the answer is simple ... 7,200 primary, but more for the reason of the scarcity of the black gems and frequency of equipment upgrades.

Perhaps once you're closer to 450+ levels this COULD change, depending on how stats have been purchased.
