we were discussing gem drop rates in discord and how to get gems in general, and an idea came up i thought was quite good: have a gem cutter NPC in sacrament.
something like markos the potion seller. do a side quest for them, and they then let u get gems out of:
-other gems
or
-resources to get specific gems
and/or
-remove gems from equipment and re-use (which will come at some point)
can be upgraded with danos projects like other sacrament NPC shops etc.
