Stones or gems in the New World are items that allow you to improve weapons or armor for free by adding additional perks or bonuses to the hero’s characteristics. They are very important in the formation of a quality build! Each gem in New World provides completely different bonuses that work differently depending on whether you place the item in armor or weapons. For example, an amber stone in armor reduces the amount of damage taken from the forces of nature by a certain percentage, and in weapons it gives additional damage by the forces of nature.
