Grinding and Separation

Gem Grinder

Raises the grade of a socketed gem. Grinding can fail, and the gem's attributes may be lost.

Immortal Gem Grinder

Uses the same success rate as a regular grinder, but preserves the gem when an attempt fails.

Gem Separator

Combine it with socketed equipment to recover both the equipment and gem without loss.
