New World has gems you can place in your gear to change their effects. The cut pristine version of the gems can also be modified into runeglass versions of the gems. Below is a quick list of the New World gem effects and runeglass effects in both armor and weapons at each tier level.

Weapon Gem Effects

Placing a gem in your weapons in New World can have many different effects. They can increase the damage you deal, change some of the damage types your weapon can deal, or increase the aggro you can gain.

The effect of the gem is based on the tier. There are 4 different tiers II-V. They consist of cut flawed, cut, cut brilliant, and cut pristine. Elemental gems always convert 50% of your damage to that element regardless of tier.

However, conversion gems (gems that convert your damage type) also scale ALL of the weapon’s damage to intelligence or focus if those attributes are higher than the base weapon’s attributes. The conversion gem values are as follows:

  • Tier 2 = 50% Conversion to Element at 45% scaling off of INT / 35% scaling off of FOC
  • Tier 3 = 50% Conversion to Element at 55% scaling off of INT / 45% scaling off of FOC
  • Tier 4 = 50%

    • Abyssal – Adds Void damage
    • Arboreal – Adds Nature damage
    • Electrified – Adds Lighting damage
    • Empowered – Adds Arcane damage

      What are Runeglass Gems

      Runeglass gems are augmentations to the cut pristine version of a gem. The runeglass version will provide you with additional bonuses such as leeching, additional harm, mana syphoning and more.

      They can be crafted at a stonecutting table, and require 180 stonecutting to craft. Each of the gems will also demand a runeglass case. The case can be crafted at a forge, and requires 180 weaponsmithing skill to craft. The case dictates the additional effects of the gem.

      If you’re looking for what gems to apply in a particular build, you can check the builds section of the website for specific builds.

      How to Use Runeglass Gems

      To use a runeglass gem you will need to obtain one and slot it into your weapon and / or armor. This works just like any other gem in the game. Upon doing so you will receive the benefits of the gem. Once it is slotted you can not remove it. If you replace it with another gem it will be destroyed.

      The effects of the runeglass gems do stack when placed in your armor. Therefore, you could slot all leeching gems, for example, and benefit from each gem slotted.

      Weapon Gems #

      Diamond or Opal are still the best to slot in all weapons, in all expeditions. More here

      • The DoT’s status effect is based on the Runeglass casings element.
      • (Surge for Electrified, Hex for Empowering, Burn for Igniting, Poison for Nature)
      • Each of these can only be applied once per mob.
      • A coordinate team should run three different types between their players, to ensure everyone benefits from the 8% (or more from scaling) DoT.

      Best casing for each mob (with a Diamond or Opal slotted):

      – Ancients: Runeglass of Electrified Opal

      – Angry Earth: Runeglass of Ignited Opal

      – Corrupted: Runeglass of Empowered Opal

      – Lost: Runeglass of Arboreal Opal



      Armour Gems #

      For public runs, we recommend to continue using Cut Pristine Mutation-Specific gems. There is no reason to pay the price of runeglass casing for public runs.

      For M10 farmers we recommend Runeglass of Punishing Onyx or Runeglass of Punishing Opal for your armour, to avoid changing gems weekly. however this setup makes you completely reliant on your healer. Do not attempt to run this in publics, unless you know the h
