  They are the same. There is now 2 books to read, then you can dig up both the "regular buyable gems" like from a jewler, and the minable Gems.

oh, two books?  I read one book to be able to mine the reg gems.  Ill have to look around for the second book.

I think that is incorrect TT I am mining the big gems with out reading any special book?

  You are 100% correct Masscre...I just looked it up...you can mine the special mining gems at GM mining..you dont need a book...my bad! Its been so long since I GM'd mining I had completely forgot...Sorry Hoby!

Has anyone noticed if mining up the purchasable jewels cuts into the mining jewels drop? I've been wondering if it would take place of those drops instead of adding another.... If that makes sense.

[Hoby]

Seems like im still getting the same number of gems since i started mining the new jewels.  i think if anything its cut down on the number of ingots per hour.

Hi,

about the new "GEM" Mining option ...

I still have no idea what this is for .. to be honest so far I think
it is much easier to get those regular gems by killing black ants or Crystal Eles.

Do I miss something with this new gems or the other ones not usable for imbru ?

cu

[Hoby]

No, the ones you buy from npc jewelers are usable for imbuing, just expensive.  The more people buy em the higher the price goes.  Mining is another way to get em, although i think it will take a heck of a lot of mining to get a decent amount.  From what i read imbuing takes alot of resources to train.

Finally something treasure hunters can use out of those chest ROFL.

[Hoby]

excellent!! I forgot about t-hunters and the gems in the chest.

I believe you can now mine up that crystlline balckrock that is used for adding max skill to an item

[Abyss]

Aye, you can also get seeds of renewal from growing plants. Apparently any colored plant maybe even normals has a chance to drop them.

Yeas I heard about that.  mining in new lands is te way to go and you will do very well with crystalline blackrock.  I wonder if you get more seeds growing in the new lands vs. old.

[Abyss]

Not sure, the people who are getting them aren't posting where they are. I will see if I can't gather data and let ya know .
