Gem
Alchemists can convert gems into alchemist gems which are used by their class talents.
Mindslayers can use gems as psionic foci.
For all characters including the two listed above, gems can be used to create rings (by paying a fee to the jeweler in Angolwen or the Gates of Morning), or to imbue a body armour (using the Imbue Item talent; classes other than alchemists and stone wardens will need to complete the alchemist escort quest to get access to the stone alchemy category).
Gems are rated in tiers, and the tier you can use for imbuing or ring creation is dependent on the Imbue Item talent level or the ring's tier, respectively. For Imbue Item, your talent level must be at least as high as the gem's tier.
Gems may be found everywhere, and may also be purchased in the gem store in Derth (near the eastern edge).
Non-magical rings may be found everywhere, and may also be purchased in the jewelry store in Angolwen.
High tier gems and rings are quite rare in Maj'Eyal. They become less rare in the Far East.

Rings
Rings are also classed in tiers. For ring creation, the ring's tier must be at least as high as the gem's tier. (Annoyingly, the game asks you for the ring before asking for the gem. It's possible to waste a high-tier ring on a low-tier gem without realizing it! Conversely, if you aren't reading these spoilers, you may have to undergo trial and error to figure out which ring will work with the gem you wanted to use.)
| Ring | Tier |
|---|---|
| Copper | 1 |
| Steel | 2 |
| Gold | 3 |
| Stralite | 4 |
| Voratun | 5 |
