Idle Hack: Gems
Gems allow the user to socket specific attributes into items. A Gem contains a single attribute that can be added to a single slot. This gives the player more customization to get the specific attributes that they want on their items. Common (white) items can get up to 4 sockets and all other rarities can receive up to 2 sockets; charms cannot receive sockets.
When a gem gets socketed into an item then the attribute appears on the item with the color of the gem to indicate the gem that was used to add the attribute. Notice the below item is socketed with an Onyx and the attribute is labelled black.
There are also Gem Recipes that once specific gems are socketed into an item in the right order it will transform and obtain a legendary attribute!
