Want to know where to find New World gems? When it comes to creating the best New World PvP builds or PvE builds, gems can boost your stats and make that build even stronger. For example, gems such as the carnelian are great for tank builds, while fire staff builds benefit significantly from an equipped ruby.
But finding them in the first place? That's the tricky bit. They don't turn up reliably - instead, New World gems occasionally appear as rare drops whenever you mine certain minerals in the world. Fortunately, there are ways to boost your chance to find gems, but without these luck-enhancing items, your search may well be fruitless. Thankfully, so long as you're prepared to go into expeditions, there is a different way to get New World gems.
This guide will explain where to find New World gems and what items you need to equip to increase your chances of finding them. We'll also go through how to refine gemstones and what each gem does when you equip them for your loadout.
