Weapon Upgrading
1. Go to your Armoury then select the Upgrade link at the top.
2. Select the weapon that you desire to gem/sphere and go to the next phase.
3. Now select the Gem/Sphere and Dream Crystal (if you are using a Sphere a Dream Crystal is not needed, but with a Holy Gem it is strongly recommended).
4. Hit the upgrade link below selection to see if it succeeds or fails.
Caution
While optional, if you don't use a Dream Crystal with a Holy Gem your weapon will be destroyed if the upgrade fails. It is very strongly suggested you use a Dream Crystal. Your equipment only has 10 slots total initially so If gemming the first slot fails remove and replace the weapon to regain the use of that slot. Removing a gemmed weapon from your armoury removes all gems and spheres.
Rewards
When you are successful with the Gem/Sphere your rewards will be added Icons to your weapon as described below.
Spheres
The first 8 spheres shown above will give the following to a weapon
100% = 1 icon
50% = 4 icons
10% = 10 icons
Heal Spheres
100% = 5 hp healing
50% = 20 hp healing
10% = 75 hp healing
Caution
With the 10% and 50 % sphere there is a chance to fail.
All spheres will use up a slot on your weapon but will not destroy the weapon.
Holy Gems
There are 3 types of Holy Gems 10%, 20% and 40% which give the following:
40% = 8 to 24 icons of all but healing with a 60% chance of failure
20% = 8 to 32 icons of all but healing with a 80% chance of failure
10% = 8 to 48 icons of all but healing with a 90% chance of failure
number of icons per type:
40% = 1 to 3 icons
20% = 1 to 4 icons
10% = 1 to 6 icons
Where they are obtained from
The spheres are obtained from elite quests and chests. Holy Gems are obtained from elite quest level 70 (EQ70). A 40% Holy Gem can be obtained from an elite quest level 50 (EQ50) also. Chests can also give holy gems. Some months the 10% Holy Gem is in the council shop for 17K. A craftsman can change a 10% Holy Gem into a 40% Holy Gem with a Red Crystal.
