So yeah, I cheated like hell to get the weapon rack (to the point of savescumming when she made a perfect gem. Twice), but I never use gems for anything but mood fodder and I never find the max value gems. I don't feel bad at all.
Ive only ever found light yellow diamonds. I dream of the day Ill find black diamonds and encrust them in an adamantine axe that menaces with spikes of goblin bone and bands of FB silk. And then go on a murder spree with it.
