GEMS - some answers and explanations

First, don't clutter up this thread with questions you should be able to answer yourself. If you have a serious question, ask it. This isn't a complaint thread either.
**note: 7/21, a level 5 gem was looted from a level 71 tower in fire**
Gem types:
of treasure hunter: 5% to increase finding strong equip by 10%
of fire starter: 13% to cause 10% more fire dmg
of fire prevention: 13% of 15% less fire damage taken
of flank attack: 2% of 10% more strength in flanks
of staunch flank: 2% of 10% more strength in flanks
of final fight: 6% of 3% more strength in keep
of last resistance: 20% of 1% more strength in keep
of frontal attack: 2% of 4% more strength on frontal attack
of staunch front: 2% of 7% more strength in keep
of impatience: 10% of 5% reduced waiting time between attacks
of the reserves: 5% of 20 kingsguard battalion in the keep
of the extra legion: 2% of support from 150 kingsguard battalion in the keep
of reinforcements: 1% of 100 traveling knights in the keep
of auxiliaries: 5% of 20 traveling knights in keep
of concealment: 10% of 10% less loot for attacker
of the looter: 10% of 10% more loot after an attack
of glorious defender: 10% of 9% more glory while defending
of glorious commander: 5% of 6% more glory in attack
Gem forging:
It takes 6 gems of the same level to forge another gem of that level to the next level.
100% chance from level 1 to 2,
80% chance from level 2 to 3, 225 rubies for 100%
60% chance from level 3 to 4, 495 rubies for 100%
40% chance from level 4 to 5, 855 rubies for 100%
more to come....
Devstey2 was the first to do the calculation, but so far if you assume 100% chance of success you will need 823,543 gems to complete 1 level 10 gem.
Pretty ridiculous to think GGE created a new gem system without doing the math. I hope they change it tomorrow since the longer it is in the game and remains completely broken, the more terrible their math skills look. It makes you wonder what other broken math calculations are running in the background for combat calculations and other issues.

I see someone forgot to read the first paragraph, so I will repeat it below. I wish I could delete your post.
First, if you have a serious question, ask it, but don't get carried away with cluttering up the thread with complaints about the gem system. This isn't a complaint thread.
Your question is terrible. It's not a serious question. Learn to play the game or try to answer it yourself before asking here.

?Its a serious question. Was just wondering what it means by 1% of 100 traveling knights in the keep. Does that just mean theres only 1 traveling knight in the keep if theres a 100 or what?

If you took more time to look at the gems instead of the time it takes you to ask me questions you should know the answer by now.
1% means 1% chance so it's a 1% chance to getting 100 traveling knights added to your attack when it arrives in the keep.

Thanks and if you are going to make a thread to answer our questions you may want to actually answer our questions instead of saying how easily the question can be answered.

I'm not a babysitter. I don't want to answer questions that shouldn't be asked. You can ask your questions to someone who wants to spend the time to help new players. I'm here to help the veteran players.
Look, it's not personal, but I'm making an example out of your posts b/c the next guy like you should know better.

GGE is always trying to get players to buy rubies, and to do that, comes up with horrible updates. Put this in your siggy if you agree.

The real issue is how much equipment is going to be loot. Whats aggregious is how GGS did not ANTICIPATE PUBLICALLY this issue. I will go so far as to make a supposition : They KNEW all that and did it anyway.
Why? There are a few obvious speculations, but I'll leave that until another time. Im curious as to how long they are going to let people 'be in the dark'. I've always hated this 'undocumented discovery' nonsense that dev teams do. While there may an occasional gratification, its mostly annoying. More information is needed, period.
I haven't found any gems that cost rubies to upgrade.

I still would like an answer to my previous question, but now I have another concern about these stupid gems! I have been busy attacking as many level 20 barbarian towers as I can in order to win the renegades. I have probably looted a dozen this morning. Usually that would have yielded a mix of ordinary and rare, a couple epic, and if I'm lucky a legendary piece of equipment. This time All I have gotten are these gems, and so far all of them sell for a lousy 50 coins each. So did the gems replace equipment as possible loot? If so, we have been jipped, and BADLY!
STOP THIS INSANE UP-DATE NOW!
i m 15 i m not afraid to lose coins i m afraid to lose equipmet i dont have much uselesss for casstleans and the weakest i have gives 10%melee and 15% ranged

Leveling gems up from level 3 to 4 fails,tried it 4 times,all gone.
I am now in the 11th field with gems,if u realy wanna make something of it u need rubies.
But when u use them 1 time they will be destroyed haha, whos idea was this?
I wonder how many fields they reserved to put in the gems before its stops.

The cost to use gems is bareable, and i think gems are equal to other equipment items.
Complaining won't get anyone anywhere, it is fine for people to make suggestions, but other than that, what is done is done. Everyone makes mistakes, and not everyone agree with each other when there are new updates.

What are you even talking about? The purpose of this thread was to talk about the types and the upgrade system.
Did you do the math on how long it takes to get a level 10 gem? Do you think that is a good thing?
So you will be happy with only collecting level 1,2,3, and 4 gems? Otherwise, you will never see a top level gem until the system is changed.
