Gems Stats display ?

[Nogann]

Hello all !
I reached the moment in the game where the shopkeeper tells me the gems actually have an effect on your stats. But is there any way to know what which gems are related to which stats ?

I heard you could see that in the shop but I don't see anything about it ...

On a side note, I bought the time consumable in the store and have yet to find a way to use it. No matter what I do I can't reach the inventory (on the top left of the screen when you press pause) Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks a lot !

They seemed to have taken that text from the shop for some reason. The consumable menu can be cycled a few ways but one way is to hold the item use button and press up or down.

When at the shop you can choose to sell all gems at once or each gem separate. When you choose a gem it should pop up at the bottom what the gem effect is.
As for consumables you have to use them real time. It should show up in your weapon inventory and you just switch between them to find the time consumable and then once selected you can use it by pushing the use button.
I did find that if you hold the weapon select button it pauses the game and a small wheel pops up in the top left corner allowing you to switch mid fight if you choose, which would help in boss fights if you have consumables.

As a side note, I do not even know if the gems are really worth it. I sold a lot of them and had little trouble dealing with bosses. I found that leveling up gave higher stat upgrades than the gems. Maybe I am wrong though.

I honestly can't find the display for what the gems do, and it's driving me up the wall, I've checked the store but there's no indicator of what they do.

Huh, the store had descriptions of what they did last time I played when in the "sell" menu of the store.. Did they patch it out??

Their abilities were things like increase mana regen, time regen, health regen, graze bonus, damage, defense...

They definitely used to have the description in the shop.


From left to right in exact wording it used to say:

Amethyst
Graze Effect+

Aquamarine
MP Recovery Rate+

Topaz
TIME Recovery Rate+

Ruby
Defense+

Sapphire
Attack+

Emerald
HP recovers with TIME

Diamond
Defense++ Attack++


Graze Effect+ would be how much HP/MP/TIME you get back from a graze and is super powerful when you have nearly 9,999 like me.
Honestly from my experience. I would say it's NEVER WORTH SELLING these. At least until you reach the point in the game that you can farm Diamond and Emerald easy.

This guide here shows the spot.

Until you reach here I say it's not worth losing the passive bonuses. They really add up when you have as much as I do and is even more noticeable when compared to a fresh New Game. While they for some reason patched out the description of each passive. The effects of them are still there.

But when you do reach this spot you can farm Emerald and Diamond insanely fast so you can sell for money to max out TIME and Knives count during Time Stop.

Compared to this guide I can kill all 3 enemies in a single cast of Thousand Dagger. And never use Time Stop. Instead let the first bouncy dude bounce once towards you and jump towards his head and cast Thousand Dagger. With massive passive bonuses that I have. I basically refill almost all my HP/MP/TIME in a single graze.

Farming here is better than speed running the Boss Rush as this is faster and gives basically all gems. However at that point you would be farming gems just for your own personal completion. Unfortunately there's no super hard mode or boss scaling stuff like in Rabi Ribi.

It looks like they put the descriptions back in the last patch, cool.
