Gem Forge Guide

The Gem Forge is a Crafting & Mining minigame set in Grunvik's underground workshop. You'll mine gems, cut and polish them through 4 processing stations, fill orders for Dwarven Favor, and craft powerful Enchantment Scrolls. This guide covers everything from top to bottom.

Skills Used: Crafting (primary, levels 1-99) and Mining (pickaxe requirements per gem tier). Higher levels unlock better gem types and processing stations.

Getting There

Use the Teleporter at home and select Gem Forge under Minigames to travel there.

The Workshop

The Gem Forge is a large underground cavern containing everything you need:

Grunvik - The dwarven foreman. Talk to him for orders, tutorials, rewards, and cracked gem exchange.
Gem Rock Piles - 24 rocks (3 per gem type, 8 types) scattered around the cavern for mining.
Cutting Station - First processing station (Crafting level 1+).
Polishing Wheel - Second processing station (Crafting level 20+).
Precision Table - Third processing station (Crafting level 40+).
Fusion Anvil - Enchantment crafting station (Crafting level 70+).
8 Sorting Sacks - Deposit your finished gems to complete orders.
Reward Vault - Use Gem Forge Keys to spin for reward gems.

How It Works (Gameplay Loop)

The Gem Forge follows a simple loop:

Talk to Grunvik and accept an order (he'll show you 10 choices).
Mine gems from rock piles using your pickaxe.
Process gems through the stations to reach the required quality.
Deposit gems into the correct sorting sacks.
Turn in your completed order to Grunvik for rewards!

Tip: Right-click Grunvik for quick options: Talk-to (orders & turn-in), Rewards (shop), and Exchange (trade cracked gems for favor).

Gem Types

There are 8 gem types that match the server's skilling resource tiers. Each requires a specific Crafting level to mine and a matching-tier pickaxe:

Gem	Tier	Crafting Level	Pickaxe Required
Verdite	1	1	Verdite Pickaxe+
Azurite	2	10	Azurite Pickaxe+
Violite	3	30	Violite Pickaxe+
Obsidianite	4	50	Obsidianite Pickaxe+
Lunarite	5	70	Lunarite Pickaxe+
Glacite	6	80	Glacite Pickaxe+
Emberite	7	90	Emberite Pickaxe+
Divinite	8	99	Divinite Pickaxe+

Note: Higher-tier pickaxes can mine lower-tier gems. A Divinite Pickaxe can mine all 8 types!

Mining Gems

Click on gem rock piles to extract uncut gems. Here's how mining works:

Rock Mechanics

Each rock pile can be mined 3-5 times before it depletes.
Depleted rocks respawn in 10-15 seconds.
There are 3 rocks per gem type (24 total), so you can rotate between them.
Success: You receive 1 uncut gem + Mining XP.
Failure: You receive 1 Cracked Gem (junk) + small Mining XP.
Mining success rate decreases with higher gem tiers. The Gemcutter's Outfit boosts success!

Processing Stations

After mining uncut gems, you must process them through stations to increase their quality. Each station has a level requirement and success rate:

1. Cutting Station (Level 1+)

Click the Cutting Station with uncut gems in your inventory.

Rough Cut - 75% success rate (0.7x XP multiplier)
Cut - 60% success rate (1.0x XP multiplier)
Failure: Gem is destroyed and becomes a Cracked Gem.

The station randomly produces either Rough Cut or Cut quality on success.

2. Polishing Wheel (Level 20+)

Takes Rough Cut or Cut gems and polishes them.

Polished - 50% success rate (1.3x XP multiplier)
Failure: Gem downgrades to Cut quality (not destroyed).

3. Precision Table (Level 40+)

Takes Polished gems and refines them to the highest qualities.

Brilliant - 40% success rate (1.6x XP multiplier)
Flawless - 30% success rate (2.0x XP multiplier)
Failure (Flawless attempt): Downgrades to Brilliant.
Failure (Brilliant attempt): Downgrades to Polished.

Process Polished → Brilliant first, then Brilliant → Flawless for the best quality.

4. Fusion Anvil (Level 70+)

A special station that does not process order gems. Instead, it uses Reward Gems to craft Enchantment Scrolls. See the Enchantments section below for full details.

Quality Tiers

Every gem in the Gem Forge has one of 5 quality tiers. Higher quality = more XP, more Dwarven Favor, and more valuable orders:

Quality	Station	Crafting Req	Success Rate	XP Multiplier	On Failure
Rough Cut	Cutting	1	75%	0.7x	Destroyed
Cut	Cutting	1	60%	1.0x	Destroyed
Polished	Polishing	20	50%	1.3x	Downgrade to Cut
Brilliant	Precision	40	40%	1.6x	Downgrade to Polished
Flawless	Precision	40	30%	2.0x	Downgrade to Brilliant

Key Point: Only Cutting failures destroy gems. Polishing and Precision failures just downgrade the gem - you can always try again!

Orders

Orders are the main way to earn Dwarven Favor, XP, and Reward Gems.

How Orders Work

Talk to Grunvik and choose "Get an order".
You'll see 10 randomly generated orders (paginated, 4 per page).
Each order has a difficulty rating (1-5 stars) based on your Crafting level.
Orders specify which gems, what quality, and how many you need.
Click an order to preview it, then click "Accept" to start.
You can re-roll for new orders (30-second cooldown).

Difficulty Scaling:

Difficulty	Entries Per Order	Qty Per Gem	XP Bonus	Favor Bonus
1 Star	1-2 gems	1-2 each	+8%	+20%
2 Stars	1-2 gems	1-3 each	+16%	+40%
3 Stars	2-3 gems	2-4 each	+24%	+60%
4 Stars	2-3 gems	2-5 each	+32%	+80%
5 Stars	3-4 gems	3-6 each	+40%	+100%

Max difficulty unlocked by level: 1 star at level 1, +1 star per 20 Crafting levels (max 5 stars at level 80+).

Order Rewards (on turn-in):

Crafting XP - Based on gem tier, quality, quantity, and difficulty multiplier.
Mining XP - 25% of Crafting XP earned.
Dwarven Favor - Based on gem tier, quantity, and difficulty multiplier.
Reward Gems - 1 reward gem per unique gem type in the order (used for enchantments).

Sorting Sacks

After processing your gems to the required quality, deposit them into the 8 sorting sacks lined up along the wall:

Deposit Rules

Each sack corresponds to one gem type (Verdite through Divinite, left to right).
You must deposit gems into the correct sack matching the gem type.
Gems must match the quality and quantity specified in your order.
Grunvik will yell at you if you use the wrong sack!
Once all sacks are filled, talk to Grunvik to turn in your order.

Dwarven Favor

Dwarven Favor is the Gem Forge's unique currency. It's stored on your account (not an item) and used to buy rewards from Grunvik's shop.

Earning Favor:

Order completion - Main source. Higher difficulty and tier gems = more favor.
Cracked Gem exchange - Right-click Grunvik → "Exchange" to trade cracked gems for 3 favor each.

Tip: Don't throw away Cracked Gems! They stack up quickly and the 3 favor each adds up over time. Exchange them in bulk with Grunvik.

Reward Shop

Right-click Grunvik and select "Rewards" to open his shop. Everything costs Dwarven Favor:

Item	Cost	Description
Gemcutter's Hat	8,000	Outfit piece (head slot)
Gemcutter's Apron	15,000	Outfit piece (body slot)
Gemcutter's Legs	12,000	Outfit piece (legs slot)

Full Gemcutter's Outfit: 45,000 Dwarven Favor total.

Gemcutter's Outfit

The Gemcutter's Outfit is a 5-piece skilling outfit that provides powerful bonuses inside the Gem Forge:

Bonus Type	Per Piece	Full Set (5 Pieces)
Mining & Cutting Success	+4%	+8% (full set bonus)
Dwarven Favor Earned	+7%	+10% (full set bonus)
XP Rewards	+3%	+5% (full set bonus)
Bonus Reward Gems	-	+2 extra reward gems on turn-in

Priority Buy: The Gemcutter's Outfit should be your first purchase! The bonuses compound over every order, making everything more efficient. Start with Boots (4,000) and Gloves (6,000) for cheap early boosts.

Gem Forge Key & Reward Vault

The Gem Forge Key (5,000 favor each) lets you enter the Reward Vault for a spinning reward chest:

Vault Loot Table

Tier	Chance	Rewards	Amount
Common	~65%	Verdite / Azurite / Violite Reward Gems	5-15
Uncommon	~20%	Obsidianite / Lunarite Reward Gems	3-8
Rare	~7%	Glacite / Emberite Reward Gems	2-5

Each spin gives 2-3 reward items. Very Rare drops are broadcast to the server!

Fusion Anvil & Enchantment Scrolls

The Fusion Anvil (Crafting level 70+) is where you craft Enchantment Scrolls using Reward Gems. Enchantments are powerful temporary buffs you can apply to your gear!

3	Buy Gemcutter's Boots & Gloves first	Cheap bonuses early (10,000 favor)
4	Complete the full Gemcutter's Outfit	Maximize all bonuses (45,000 total)
5	Work higher difficulty orders as you level up	More XP, more favor, more reward gems
6	At Crafting 40+, use the Precision Table	Brilliant & Flawless gems for big XP
7	At Crafting 70+, start crafting enchantments	Common scrolls from reward gems
