Confused over Decorations

[warrickbartley]

Ok now i dont get it , whats the difference between a level 4 jewel, and a level 1 jewel, i equip a level 1 and ive got one level in this and i equip a level 4 jewel, and ive still got 1 level in it?

Level 4 usually have 2 points of a single skill or 1 point of 2 different skills... Few has 3 skill points, like the Intimidator deco 4

It’s the slot size that they fit in. A lvl4 will only fit in a 4 slot - but a 4 slot can hold any decoration size, 4, 3, 2 or 1.

Lvl 4 decorations also have either multiple levels of a skill or 2 different skills from one deco

[Tregrenos]

The level 4 decorations have 2 skills, either 2 of the same or 2 different skills attached. The other types of decorations only have 1 skill and their "size" is unique to the skills they boost and not dependant on their rarity.

[arcmos]

The level of the deco has nothing to do with how much it raises x or y skills

There's some expections called the 'X jewel +' and the 'hard X jewel' which can grant a +2 or higher bonus to a skill : 'agitator jewel +' for example add 2 level of agitator and 'hard botanist jewel' add 3 or even 4 level (4 being the max for botanist)

There's that too... The slot size doesn't affect the skill points on the deco.

If you put a Attack Deco 1 on a Level 4 slot, it'll still give you just 1 point.

ok thats what i would have thought , but why sometimes im still only getting the one point?
eg i put in a level 4 attack jewel but my points are still only the same as when i had the level 1 jewel,?

level doesn't correspond to how many points you get, it usually is to indicate how valuable the skill is and/or balance reasons. you can get 2 points on select skills with some level 4 gems and that's it.

If it’s on a lvl 4 decoration then it probably has 2 different skills on it. Like critical / vitality etc. That gives 1 lvl of crit boost and 1 lvl of health boost

[BOWSER]

Level 4 jewels are the only decos with 2 skills so they're the highest tier.

It will always give you 2 levels if you are using an attack 4 - the only way you would get less is if you are over the max level for that skill - for example, if you were at lvl 6 attack and you slotted an attack 4 in you would only gain 1 level as the max is attack lvl 7.
