Gems are special items in the New World that boost one or more attributes of your character. You can add to any equipment that has a Gem Socket. They increase your attributes accordingly, such as Constitution, Damage, and more. It can heavily improve players' performance in PvP and PvE activities.

To get Gems, you will first have to mine various Veins. All you have to do is head over to any Ore Veins. If this rock is actually an Ore Vein in New World, you will see an interactive pop-up with the name of the resource. Equip the pickaxe and long-press the E key and you will be able to break the rock. After this, you will get Gems as a resource in New World.

However, you have to remember that Gems are not a confirmed drop. You will have to break open a lot of rocks before you can actually get Gemstones as a drop. If you do have a high mining rating, it will be easier for you to get Gems as a drop in the game. The higher the rarity of the Ore Vein, the higher the probability of getting a rare gem. Also, the rarer your pickaxe, the better your chances of getting gems. So you need to craft or use NW Coins to get the best rarer pickaxe!

Then use Mining to get the Raw Gemstones resource, then go to a Stonecutting Table and use Stonecutting to produce slottable Gems. Each Gem has a different effect depending on whether it is slotted in a weapon or an armor piece, but it can be modulated according to your wishes: Carnelian Gems allow you to manage threats, preventing healers from gaining threat and giving more to tanks. Opal or Malachite gems allow you to mitigate physical and elemental damage. Emerald and Jasper gems allow you to increase damage dealt.
