Cut Gems

From A Tale in the Desert
Jump to navigationJump to search

Overview

Cut Gems are created by careful crafting of Cuttable Gems on a Gem Cutting Table. Sections of the cuttable are gradually sliced away until the resulting gem matches a standard shape in the #Gem Catalog. At that point, the cut gem may be removed into your inventory.

Nonstandard shapes may be saved in a Specimen Case (available with some multi-month pre-paid packages). Each case holds one cut gem. The contents of the specimen case may later be loaded onto a table for additional cutting.

In the absence of a specimen case, cut gems that don't match a Gem Catalog entry must be discarded.

Different types of cut gems are used in the construction or improvement of various buildings.
