Speed Bonus
[[Geology]] allows the collection of gems which are used for crafting and the [[teleportation]] skill. In order to raise this skill a player must first obtain the associated [[Surveying]] skill from [[Jaime Fatholm]], and use a '''Mineral Survey'''.
* Mineral Surveys are named for both a region and color of gemstone. A [[Eltibule Orange Mineral Survey]] must be used in [[Eltibule]] and will only reward standard gems tagged with [[:Category:Items/OrangeCrystal]]. Some gems are less common than others, for example Obsidians are not as common when making Blue Mineral Surveys.
* Speed bonus gems can be obtained if you collect another gem deposit shortly after collecting a previous gem deposit. Speed bonus loot table is based on the location and include some of the rarest gems in game.
* Gems are used in various crafting recipes to create Enchanted equipment. They are placed into the Primary Crystal and Secondary Crystal slots as a method to determine what skills equipment will have when crafted.
* Many NPCs like minerals as favor. Some will prefer specific gems, some will like colors categories, and a few will accept any of them.* Blue Mineral Surveys leading to Amethysts [[Amethyst]]s and Green Mineral Surveys leading to [[Aquamarine]]s are quite popular due to their use in [[Teleportation]].
=== In-Game Description ===
Digging crystals out of the ground, and knowing what they do.
* {{Item|Rubywall Crystal}} is a Crystal but not a Gem.
* {{Item|Glowy Yellow Crystal}} is an Irradiated Crystal. Although these are a type of Crystal, they sometimes require [[Mining]] or [[Foraging]] to gather. This type can sometimes be hazardous to carry.
* {{Item|Cow Malachite}} is an Attuned Gem crafted through a [[Sigil Scripting]] recipe.* {{Item|Maximized Sardonyx}} is a Catalyst Gem crafted through [[Geology]]. * {{Item|Sapphire}} is an "Ilmari Gem," a name given to a group of ten gems added at the same time as the [[Ilmari]] zone. Ilmari Gems are often obtained as a Speed Bonus through [[Surveying]].
Collecting gems and crystals is often accomplished through the use of Mineral Surveys crafted through [[Surveying]]. Once crafted, a specific level of [[Geology]] is required to understand each map.
