In the gemcrafting workflow described by a guide updated October 16, 2025, unlock Gemcrafting through the Life Skill menu and its tutorial, unlock Gemstone Processing Mastery, then use Hamilton at the Artisan Guild in Asterleeds to cut gems. The guide maps Ruby to Crit, Sapphire to Haste, Emerald to Mastery, and Diamond to Luck. Before spending materials, check your regional game version: Prydwen’s January 2026 guides describe Season 2 gear using sigils rather than gems.
How to unlock Gemcrafting
- Open the Life Skill menu and unlock Gemcrafting by completing its tutorial quest. The Games Fuze guide, last updated October 16, 2025, says this permanently unlocks the Life Skill for your character.
- Unlock Gemstone Processing Mastery before trying to craft. The same guide identifies it as an additional crafting requirement.
- Consider unlocking Gemology, the gathering counterpart the guide recommends for obtaining raw gems.
Where to craft gems
Go to Hamilton at the Artisan Guild in Asterleeds and choose the Gemcrafting option. The guide describes this station as processing uncut gems into cut gems.
Which gem gives each attribute?
The Games Fuze guide reports the following mapping. Treat it as guide-reported rather than independently verified current behavior; check the item details in your live client before crafting.
| Gem | Attribute reported by the guide |
|---|---|
| Ruby | Crit |
| Sapphire | Haste |
| Emerald | Mastery |
| Diamond | Luck |
Choose based on the attribute your build needs. The available guides do not establish a universal best gem by class or role.

How to embed a gem—and what happens if you replace it
For the gem-based workflow, visit Maxim at the Artisan Guild and select Embed. The Games Fuze guide warns that an embedded gem cannot be recovered: replacing it or disassembling the gear destroys it. Confirm both the stat and the equipment choice before committing a gem.
Check whether your version uses gems or sigils
Gem instructions may not match the live gear system in every region or patch. Prydwen’s shop guide, last updated January 15, 2026, describes Season 2 as using sigils instead of gems for gear. Its gear guide, last updated January 18, 2026, describes one Sigil per gear piece and advanced embedding that can use higher-level gemcrafted materials. Those guides do not establish rollout timing for every region. Check your current client’s gear and embedding menus before following the older gem workflow; if the interface offers sigils, follow the system shown there rather than assuming basic cut gems are still the gear upgrade.
