Gems ?

Post by joe05 »

I need some help :-)
I can't find info on the use of Gems. I've read the online/.pdf manual and can't seem to lacate any info. Maybe I'm just overlooking it ?
My basic questions are: 1) How do I use the Gems(Ruby/Emerald/Amber etc..) 2) Where do I use them 3) When should I use them.
I new to RPG. Since I can buy them from merchants, I'm guessing they can be put to use :-) If you'd rather post a link to the info; that would be fine.
I'd like to get the most out of what I've accumulated so far in the game = I'm physically disabled with very little manual dexterity, so I don't want to squander any charms/gems I've accujulated :-) I'm thinking, it will only get tougher and I'd better get the most out of my caharacter. So far, I've set my Warrior up as a mele fighter - think I'm at 40STR/40AGI/10INTEL/40CONST.
I have Freeze(1), Poison Weapon(1), Enchanted Weapon(1), Repair(1), Lockpick(1), Deadly Gift(3). I believe i have 12 skills points unused = waiting to see where to put them. I'm not a good gamer, so I need to make wise decisons :-) Looking at the inventory I've accumulated, I'm thinking magical foes will be coming up ? So, I'd like to know how best to use the Gems I've accumulated/ and will buy etc. If you could, please explain it simply, as I'm new to RPG; coming from playing FPS :-) . I'm not used to all these options of character formation.
Thanks for your help = think I'm going to need all I can get :-)

If you are speaking of the general gems, the best use I've found for them is to set them on the ground and use the light's they give off to make shapes. I like emeralds best just because they are green. Basically, gems are just 1 pound items to make lots of money off.
