Guide 13 - Exploration and Gems

Hi Pirates,

This Guide will be talking about the Exploration function and the use of gems.
Firstly, the explore area is represented by a NPC with a Gems logo above them. Click on them and then click explore to go to the exploration page.
The gems can be viewed using the gems logo on the bottom row, and you can equip gems to equipments. 
 There are 8 rarities of Gems,
 1 star gems - exp gems that can not be equipped. They normally give a lot of exp.

2 star gems - the basic gems that you can get from exploration.
These gems increase the base attack or defense by 20. If you feed this gem to another gem, it gives 50 exp.

3 star  gems - These gems add the base by 40, and can be found on the second stage and third stage. They give 100 exp.

4 star gems - There are two types of these gems, one adds 1% per level, the other adds 60 per level.  They give 150 exp, and can be found on the third and fourth stage.

5 star gems - There are also two types of these gems, one which adds 1.25% and looks like a curvilinear triangle while the other is a rectangle that adds 80. They both give 200 exp, and can be found on the fourth stage and final stage. Getting this from exploration would result in an announcement to the camp.

6 star gems - The highest quality gem you can get from exploration, and is very elusive. It can be found only in the final stage, although most of the time I would get a 1 star exp gem instead.😔 These gems are truly precious, giving 1.5% per level. They are very difficult to get.

7 star gems - I know i said the highest quality you can get from exploration is 6, but there is a way to get 7 star gems by exchanging it (which is not until a long time later). These gems give 2% per level, and are notoriously difficult to level up due to the insane amount of exp required.

8 star gems - Similar to 7 star gems, these gems have to be exchanged and give 2% per level PLUS an additional 20 base stats.

 The blue coloured gem (not background) is equipped on cloth as it increases physical defense,
light blue to cloak,
yellow to hat,
green to necklace,
red to weapon,
orange to ring
and purple to staff. 

The big question is:
When is the percentage gem better than the base stats gem?
The answer is pretty simple:
 Remember the base stats you can view on the crew area?
Remove the gem and take a look.
If you have more than 4000, the 1% is better than the +40,
and the higher the percentage the better it is.
Comparing to the +80, 
the 1.25% is better when the stat is more than 6400. 

What if i made a high level 2 star gem and i want to use the 3 star gem? Fret not, the amount of exp added in increases the exp value given when the gem is fused.
Also, higher grade gems cannot be fed to lower grade gems, so no worries about giving your 6 star to a 2 star.
The maximum level of the 6 star gem is 50, and requires about  4150425exp.
7 and 8 star gems have a much higher cap.

Don't forget to explore to increase your power even more!

Happy Pirating!
