Gemstone steals in the dungeons

[NekoiNemo]

Are they fixed? Unless i'm having the most terrible luck - they seem to be fixed.

And if they are fixed - what's up with the distribution of them?

Nobody drops the Ruby (i haven't been able to drop from the Green Dragon yet, so maybe she's the one? Then again, she only spawns after beating the dungeon), there are one creature each that drop Sapphire and Emerald, 2 that drop the Topaz (though both in the same area) and 2 that drop diamond, and 2 more "special" enemies who also drop Diamond, and 1 more enemy who begins to spawn after beating the dungeon and looping who also drops the Diamond - that's 5 enemies who drop the least useful gem. And all 3 enemies and the boss in the Halloween drop the Diamond too, and i haven't gone to Christmas dungeon yet, but i have a sneaking suspicion it will be the same.

What is this distribution? I understand that Ruby is the most useful one for the dungeon part (and the Diamond is the least useful), but come on...

I can't manage to steal anything from Halloween and Christmas fights except for the bosses even with max stats + buff :/

I also didn't find the ruby in Melkor's dungeon. Ruby fragments can be found in Karos' defense.

Personally I think that stealing is a huge waste of time for a number of reasons.

First off, gems are only useful for Naamu's blessing, As far as potions go, any base ingredient +1 of any colored gem gives a +3 potion, but it is easier to do the same thing with two sturgeons after the base ingredient. Kero's mission requires patience with RNG luck and mucho repetitive motion danger. Spamming LMB for 30 levels takes a toll. lol But you still do way better here than with stealing, imo. And for potions, fishing is simply easier.

In addition, are you sure that the blessings even work? The single one I tested in the dungeon, the emerald, was supposed to 'slowly regenerate HP' but after the first 8 levels of the dungeon it didn't regen a single HP.

Not sure how you would test that you are actually getting double power or 10% dodge anyway.

I think the blessing is working because it actually shows the updated stat value in the UI. And i tend to 1-shot enemies in the dungeon which confirms that i indeed have 140 POW

Ok, then I may as well give it a try!

[Scrogdog]

Tried it, but when I went to my journal to check my POW stat, it was unchanged. I did get the blessing from the dragon lair though, not the lake. Perhaps that is the problem.

EDIT: Just went to the dungeon and fought the vampire and then all 4 enemies in the Halloween region. My damage numbers are unchanged.

Oh, yeah, i got mine from the river
