I really struggled to decide if I would post this here or not. But here goes...unfortunately I don't have the log but trust, it happened and you can ask Pendus to verify cuz he was there.

I popped a box it had "a huge clear diamond" in it. Appped it and it was certain for 68000 doks (forget the last 3 numbers). Also in the same box were 2 gold coins and several silvers.

This is the best box by far I have ever gotten and thanks to Kuniyo for it.

Now here's the deal.... Jalika, and everyone else who likes to liberate things...PLEASE keep your hands outta my gem pouch. I am just waiting to find a nice moonie to clarify it and a nice trader with loads of experience to sell it for me.

You should have waited to post until you sold it. You just put a HUGE target on your pack

Bah. You know Jal wouldn't steal that from you. Okay, she might, but she would totally give it back. If I see you around I'll try and remember to have my moonie nab you.

I keep a lockable gem pouch on me full of stuff that I need to get clarified. Anyone looking to buy an app pouch full of medium star rubies?

Just keep any gems you don't want stolen in a gem pouch open inside your backpack. As long as you leave your pouch inside another container you're safe. Also remember that anytime a gem is clarified there is a chance it will shatter. That being said before the gem changes I found a massive pink sapphire left on the ground in snoblins and after clarifying it was worth alittle over 14 plat. Of course then I sold it a week or so before the changes. <curse>

Thanks for the advice, I will keep that diamond in a closed pouch in another container...good idea. And Jalika I know you would give it back to me...after you played around with it awhile. : P

As for the huge target on my back....yeah that's why I was so conflicted about posting. And as for clarifying, I didn't know it could shatter. Does the chance of that happening decrease the more skill a moon mage has?

Pretty sure its completely random. Sometimes clarified a few pouches without a shatter but other times I've shattered 5 gems in a single pouch.

Depends on the value of the gem, the PM of the Moon Mage, and the amount of mana put into the spell. It's actually easier to shatter them the more skill you have if you get carried away with the mana. That being said, if you take the time to PG the gem each time and check your work, its pretty impossible to break them.

Do you have any notes on how mana in CG versus quality increase?

If only you could clarify them more than once.

Excellent responses folks! I'm learning so much about gems and clarification...perhaps I should join the moon mage guild? ::thinks about losing Lucky and thinks about the evil Kssarh and goes "meh"::

Zinaca and her still a baby wolf, Lucky...grow! I know it's been over 80 hours outside....
