Do Gems Get Destroyed when Replaced in New World?
Players need to be careful how their gems are used in New World because they cannot be removed and reused after they have been fitted into a weapon or armor. Removing a gem from a piece of equipment will destroy the gem.
There are several possible effects of fitting a cut gemstone into a socket on a player's equipment. Some gems give weapons an elemental effect or can increase a player's resistance to that element while others provide extra perks and taunts.
