Lost Ark: Everything about Gems
Gems is a customization system that unlocks after you pass through yorn’s Continent Chaos Dungeon. You have to be gear level 600 and you get to go to yorn and you complete yorn and you’ll move upto 802 level gear.
So once you completed the yorn you’ll see the red gem that’ll open up on your map. This is the gem expert in the great castle.
You can start finding the gems after you complete Yorn in Chaos Dungeon. They don’t drop any higher than a level one though they might come in different shapes and sizes. But they’re all level one and you have to work your way up through the levels.
Gems in Inventory
So when you open your inventory at the bottom you will find the gems that you have collected. So there are two types of gems in the game. There are ones that increase the damage of abilities and the other one reduces the cooldown of abilities. They are both different in shape. Triangular in shape (increasing the damage), Circular in shape (Reducing the cooldown).
Fuse Gems
So once your gem expert is open, you’ll find a fuse gems button in your inventory. The fuse gems will fuse 3 of your gems of the same level into a higher-level gem. You can manually select your three gems and turn them into a higher-level gem. The higher-level gem you’ll get might be a cooldown gem or might be a damaged gem but it’ll be a random level 2 gem. There’s an alternative way also you just have to click on the level and it’ll auto-select the 3 gems of the previous level and click on the fuse and it’ll give you the level of gem you chose.
This method can also give you two gems of that level. As the gems get higher in level, the benefit they provide is greater whether that’s damage or cooldown reduction.
Refaceting Gems
If there is a gem that you have and it isn’t of any use for you then you can change it at the gem expert. Clicking on gem expert and you will see all of the gems that you have access to and even those that you have slotted into your character.
If you want to change the gem and the gem is a cooldown gem it will not become the damaged gem, and if you want to change the damaged gem it will not become the cooldown gem.
The gem that you want to change will cost an amount of silver and it will change the skill of the gem into another skill by clicking on the reforge button. You will see on the right side all of the different outcomes that could come out of redoing this particular gem.
How to Equip Gems
Press P to open your character profile and click on the gem tab. You’ll have different presets that you can bind. There are 11 slots in a preset and you can select your gems from your inventory or you can right-click on the gems to equip into the preset. You can have duplicates of gems in the preset as one gem of damage another gem of cooldown. You cannot stack up a damaged gem for the exact same skill, You can only have one gem per bonus.
You can swap your higher-level gems from the inventory into the preset just by right-clicking on them. It’ll swap places with the lower-level gems.
There are number of weapons in Resident Evil 4 Remake that players will get as they progress through the game as well as by buying from the Merchant’s Shop. One of the powerful weapons in the game is Bolt Thrower which is actually a Crossbow that can take down the normal enemies in one hit.
In this guide, we’ll tell you how to get the Bolt Thrower weapon in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Getting the Bolt Thrower
Bolt Thrower is one of the Weapons that can only be bought from the Merchant. Players will unlock the Merchant in the Second Chapter of the game and you will be able to buy the Bolt Thrower right away. But the price for Bolt thrower in the Second Chapter will be 10,000 Ptas. If you don’t buy it in the second chapter and wait until the third chapter, you will be able to buy it for 8,000 Ptas.
Once you have reached the church, make your way to the Merchant’s new location and he will give the discount of 20% on the Bolt Thrower. It is the best time to buy the Bolt Thrower in the game. Select the Bolt Thrower in the Buy section of the shop to buy it. However, you will also be required to have bolts in order to use it.
The Bolt Thrower comes with only 3 Bolts and you can pick them up after killing the enemies but it would be better if you have the recipe for the bolts as well. In order to get the recipe, you would also have to buy it from the Merchant. The Bolt Recipe will cost you 6,000 Ptas. So, the total cost on Bolt Thrower weapon would cost you 16,000 Ptas, if you buy it in the second chapter or 14,000 ptas, if you buy it in the third chapter.
Spinels is the special currency in Resident Evil 4 Remake that players can get through different ways.

Getting Spinels
There are two major ways from which you can get Spinels in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
- Complete Merchant Requests
- Kill Tough Enemies
The primary way of getting the Spinels is by completing the requests of Merchant. You will find the requests near the Merchant’s Shop or at random place in a location. The request will be on a note and there are two types of notes. One would be White like a normal Note and the other one would be Blue. All of these requests can be found along the main journey of the story and its your choice either you want to complete the requests or not.
All of the requests will denote an area as well where you would have to do a specific task, i.e. Shoot Blue Medallions, shoot rats, kill mini-boss, etc. By completing these requests, you will have to go to the Merchant and by talking to Merchant, he will give you the total number of spinels for completion of requests.
Another way to get Spinels is by killing the tough enemies. You will find these enemies at random spots in the main journey. However, you will get a very low number of Spinels from killing the tougher enemies and you might not be able to get the items from trading the Spinels. The better way to get Spinels is through completing the requests so, make sure to accept the request by picking up the notes and then complete the requests to get the Spinels.
