Gemology 2.1.1
A mod that adds/modifies gems and steels.
~ "Steel" has a less-expensive recipe, now requiring only Iron and Coal.
+ "Damascus Steel" is a new form of Steel that can be made at a Furnace using Steel, Gold, and Coal. It is used as a new interim material between Steel and Royal Steel, ultimately keeping the cost of Royal Steel near identical to its vanilla recipe–save for needing 2 extra Coal.
~ "Hammer" now requires Steel instead of Iron and requires half as much Wood.
+ "Sapphire" is a new gem that *should* appear at a slightly higher rate than other ‘base’ gems and is used in any recipes that use the other gems. (For the time being, this does NOT include the Quarry.) Sapphire can be obtained through both mining and digging.
~ "Transmutation" has a slightly modified recipe which uses a bit less Coal but now also requires Stone. (Currently, this will NOT yield Sapphires.)
~ As an alternative to Transmutation, ‘base’ gems (including Sapphire) can be chosen specifically at a Cauldron with an extra cost based on something that grows in the respective gem color’s biome.
~ All forms of Transmutation, random or otherwise, now requires Damascus Steel.
~ "Legendary Gem" has been renamed to "Diamond" and can now be crafted at a Spirit Forge.
~ "Onyx Relic" has been renamed to "Jet Black Relic".
+ "Onyx" is a new legendary gem that can rarely be obtained from strong bosses. Alternatively, they can be crafted at a Spirit Forge.
~ "Cosmic Steel" has been renamed to "Sky Steel" and "Cosmic [item]" has been renamed to "Skyforged [item]".
+ "Sidereal Steel" is a new legendary steel required for a new 9th tier of tools/accessories (not yet implemented) and can be crafted at a Spirit Forge.
? "Si·de·re·al" ( sī – ˈdir – ē – əl ) = of or relating to the stars; "Astral"
~ "Obliterator" has a modified, more expensive recipe.
~ Some items and skills have modified descriptions to reflect changes/additions made by this mod.
+ Sprites for most legendary-level gems/steels are now animated.
+ Many bosses will now drop more types of gems, and powerful bosses also have a rare chance to drop an Onyx.
? Can’t craft any of the new items listed above? Most of them require that you have a specific skill unlocked. (HINT: learn plenty of Magic skills.)
