Default What generates gems?

What generates gems?
Lots of sites generate gems, they are fairly well documented.

Some items produce gems. They can be found as a special effect in the list of items in the manual.

Random events can sometimes have a significant effect on gem income. Exact stats and mechanics unknown.

Some Pretender Gods generate gems, this is documented in their flavor text and in Dom3DB with the gems(X) ability under Special.

What else generates gems?
The ritual Summon Sea Kings Court summons a Sea King who generates one water gem per month. This is undocumented.

Are there any other summons (or other things) that generate gems?

So far;
Summon Troll Kings Court W3 55 gems
- Sea King produces one water gem per month

Bind Demon Lord B9 150 slaves
- One of the (four) unique Demon Lords, Belphegor, "attracts slaves and milita". Exact figures unknown

Bind Arch Devil B4F2 99 slaves
- One of the (five) unique Arch Devils, Barathrus, produces one earth gem per month
- One of the (five) unique Arch Devils, Furcas, produces one fire gem per month

The enchantress pretender makes an astral a turn. There is an anubis (Hoth?) like pretender who makes death and I think there is another pretender who makes 2 water. I know there are a couple more but brain is nearly dead atm so..

If you're mentioning pretenders, one of the druids (can't recall if it's the arch druid or the other one) generates a nature gem each month... I think. Fairly certain he does.

It is the arch druid (the one on the horse) who generates a nature gem each turn.

I was looking at things other than pretenders, since the ones that do produce things have it documented in their descriptions.

I'm sure there are others, off the top of my head;
(and from the awesome Dom3BD)

Great Enchantress
- 55 points, one astral pearl per month

Mother of Rivers
- 75 points, two waters gems per month

Lady of Springs
- 125 points, two water gems per month

Arch Druid
- 35 points, one nature gem per month

Daughter of the Land
- 50 points, one water gem per month

TheWetFish, there are a lot of things that are not documented in the manual. Units that produce gems generally don't mention that or a lot of other invisible (or previously invisible) attributes.

If you want a thorough reference document, take a look at the Dom 3 DB thread here on the forum.

One of the Arch Devils produces one fire gem per month and Barathrus the King of Deeper Earth produces earth gems.

Barathrus the earth king produces an E, and one of the Arch devils produces a F, I believe.

Default Re: What generates gems?

Thanks for the help. I'm looking through the Dom3DB (for the first time). Where am I looking for the attribute that produces gems?

I'm using the summoned Sea King as an example.

In retrospect units like the pretender Great Enchantress have "Gems(1S)" in the Special column of the Dom3BD.
The Sea King only has "Grants water breathing"

Belphegor does not have any notation in the Special column of the Dom3DB (at all)
Barathrus does have "gems(1E)"

The Dom3DB is awesome, but it seems this is partially undocumented. So far Belphegor, ID# 810 and Sea King, ID# 580 are the only known units that produce gems are are not documented in the Dom3DB.
