What if they made Runeglass an interchangeable gem? I might actually use them then… as they are now, they are most definitely not worth the gold/resources to use… however, if I could use them to change out gems for mutations and such without destroying them, it would be worth it to me.

It’s a 20% reduction in resistances.
Exactly- that’s part of the reason I posted this. Runeglass gems aren’t any “better” than current gems, at least on armor, so making them cost 5-10 times more doesn’t make any sense.
I think I’m fine with how they work on armour currently. Yes you take a hit in one sense, but gain access to powerful buffs.
What I’m not happy with is how runeglass gems work in weapons (which is the same way they work in armour). In weapons they don’t seem worthwhile using at all.
I’d like to see runeglass gems in weapon do the full power of the regular gem, plus the bonus. Yes, that’s a buff, but they also cost more reagents and require more crafting skill to produce. It’s okay if they’re a bit better.

The emerald one is worthwhile, considering there’s no downside to it. Not sure if that’s a bug, or just a UI issue…
Explain to me how you get 20%, cause I actually use them and only lost 5.5.% resistances.

Notice reduction in italics. If you have 5 thrust resistance, and now you have 4 thrust resistance, that’s a 20% reduction in overall thrust resistance.

That’s not how Reduction works. If the starting point is 25% and the end point is 20%, the reduction is 5%.
I’m just talking about simple math. Take “thrust resistance” out of it, and just use numbers.
Take 5. Then subtract 20%. What number do you get?
Why are you subtracting 20% tho, it is 1% per Gem. Thats 5%.

I’m just asking you a simple math question. Use a calculator if you must. Reduce 5 by 20% and what do you get?
Context matters. Yes, if you go from 5% thrust resistance to 4% thrust resistance, you are losing 1% thrust resistance in game. Obviously. But that 1% you’re losing happens to be 20% of the thrust resistance you had originally. The devs had to use this math. Why you ask? Because what would they do with onyx gems? They couldn’t very well take away 1% resistances from onyx gems could they? That would mean they would go from 2.5% to 1.5% resistance, which would be a much larger penalty compared to thrust resistance gems. So what they did was they reduced all gems by 20%. So 5 went to 4 and 2.5 went to 2. This made the changes equal across the board.
Oh I see what u are saying, that is a terrible way to make a point and super misleading, because we are not talking about the reduction of base numbers, we are talking about the reduction of percentages which is normally subtractive in New World, not multiplicative.

Read my edit. It’s not misleading at all, in fact it’s the numbers the developers actually used when adjusting these gems.
From were you take -20% ? If regular onix have 2.5% and runeglass onix have 2 its mean you lose 2.5% armor ;D
It’s the only way the developers could possibly balance the gems. They had to reduce all gems by 20% so that all the gems were reduced by an equal amount.
Btw, Ruby (and the other single elemental gems ) is not reduced by 20%.
Why are you using “5 thrust resistance” instead of “5% thrust resistance”? You’re purposedly misleading with your maths. The thrust resistance you lost is only 1%. Saying that you lost 20% of the original 5% is simply inflating the numbers to make it look like you’ve lost more. It’s like saying that I gain 75% extra damage if I used a powerful honing stone over a weak stone (4+75%), which is very misleading.
