Any player worth their salt in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will want to be crafting gems. These gems will significantly help your builds as you’re out exploring the world. Below you’ll find a table of all the gems highlighting their effects they have.
Gems can be crafted in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 by finding components in the field or in fights. These components are then mixed with Ether (which is captured in an Ether Cylinder from vents found in the field) or via Gold Nopon colds from opening chests and doing quests. Each of the four classes (Attacker, Defender, Support, and Utility) have their own gems which can be upgrade through 10 tiers. Below is a video showcasing the crafted gem along with tables detailing each one.
