How to Equip and Use Effect Gems

Equipping Your Gem

Effect Gems are equipped in your offhand slot, not in regular inventory. To equip a gem:

1. Open your inventory

2. Place an Effect Gem in the offhand slot (the small square to the left of your main hand)

3. The effect activates immediately

Switching Between Gems

You can only benefit from one gem at a time. To change effects:

  • Swap the gem in your offhand slot to a different one
  • The previous effect stops; the new one begins instantly

Keep multiple gems in your inventory so you can switch effects based on your current task. For example, use one gem for combat, another for mining, and a third for exploration. Since gems occupy only the offhand slot, they don't take up valuable inventory space for tools or resources.
