Adventurers are gathering on the outskirts of the Dwarven Village, the minecart system leading to the Crystal Hollows is finally repaired!
► The Crystal Hollows
This mining area filled with Gemstones and secrets is accessible to anyone above Heart of the Mountain 3.
Gwendolyn grants passage for a mere 10 thousand coins. Pay the price and you will have access for 2 hours!
Once in the Crystal Hollows, you can either follow the tunnels, or branch away into the unknown. The stone outside of the tunnels is harder than usual, but very rich in ores and gemstones.
New Collections: Hard Stone and Gemstones.
Gemstones are special minerals imbued with power, each Gemstone is affiliated with a different SkyBlock stat.
There are 3 Mining related Gemstones:
Jade, from the Dwarven Biome, gives Mining Fortune
Amber, from the Goblin Biome, gives Mining Speed
Topaz, from the Magma Biome, gives Pristine
The other 4 Gemstones are related to Combat:
Ruby, which can be found everywhere in the Crystal Hollows, gives Health
Amethyst, from the Jungle Biome, gives Defense
Sapphire, from the Precursor Biome, gives Intelligence
Jasper, from the very rare Fairy Biome, gives Strength
Talk to Geo, near Gwendolyn, they know all about Gemstones and their usage.
The Gemstone Grinder next to him is able to apply Gemstones to specific items. Not all items can have Gemstones!
Because Gemstones can be found in different quality, such as Rough, Flawed, Fine, Flawless and Perfect; you will only get the full potential of the Gemstone slots with the highest rarity Gemstones.
Gemstones can be removed at any time through Geo.
Crystal Nucleus
While exploring the Crystal Hollows, you will come across unique Gemstone Crystals. Collect all 5 of them and bring them to the Crystal Nucleus room located in the center of the entire area to obtain rare unique rewards. The Gemstone Crystals won't be easy to collect - each of them will require a few objectives to be completed before you can grab them!
