- Gem bonus
- Equipped item tier level
- Item slot multiplier
Edit: More In Depth Explanation:
Once a character pays to unlock one of the 40 gem slots, it stays unlocked.
Gem Slot A, the first gem slot of each item slot, is unlocked for free.
The same gems, in a higher Tier item, get a higher +Stat. Ex: The same gem in a Tier 2 shield would get +8 Haste. With a Tier 3 shield, would get +12 Haste.
The same item, with higher gems, get a higher +Stat. Ex: The same item with +2 Haste Multiplier Gem would get +8 Haste. With a +4 Haste Multiplier Gem, would get a +16 Haste.
The same gem, in a white gem slot, in a higher location, gets a higher +Stat. Ex: I have a Tier 9 Named Armor Bundle, and a +4 Haste Multiplier Gem. I have unlocked all 30 colored gem slots. I pay to unlock a white gem slot. If I unlock my Boot (Location bonus +2), I get +72 Haste. If I unlock my Chest Armor (Location bonus +4), I get +144 Haste.
Research Note: Tier 1 items Legacy items get no bonus from augment gems.
The current version 1.3 formula appears to be ( +Multiplier Gem * +Tier Item * +Location Bonus ), in this case "+" denotes a positive number. Ex: +2 Haste Multiplier Gem & Tier 2 Shield (Off Hand Item is +2) is (+2 * +2 * +2) = +8 Haste. While +4 Haste Multiplier Gem & Tier 9 Chest Armor (Chest Amor Item is +4) is (+4 * +9 * +4) = +144 Haste.
Research Note: When you unlock your white gem slots (125,000 silver piece each), if all items are the same Tier, start with slots having high location bonuses. This lets you get the most +Stat from your first white gem slots.
Location Bonuses:
Chest Amor Item is +4
Amulet is +4
Ring is +4
Two Handed Item is +4 (+Stat based on gems slots for Main Hand item, Off Hand gems are deactivated)
Tip: Justicars and War Mages can use Two Handed items. They should unlock Off Hand Gem Slot B & C & D last. If you decide not to use a shield, those silver pieces are wasted. Shadow Walkers do not get Two Handed items. Shadow Walkers should decide about Off Hand gem slots based on the color of gems they own, slots they have unlocked, and amount of silver pieces.
Helmet is +3
Leg Amor is +3
Cloak is +2
Main Hand Item is +2
Gauntlet is +2
Boot is +2
Off Hand Item is +2
