quick question! can the ribbons be decorated? like maybe adding stickers to them, a bow, or a garter?
Question, whats considered rare or common gemstones and is it based on hardness?
i don't want to accidentally use the wrong gemstone while making my design (common myo)
the hardness scale being referred to is called "Mohs Hardness Scale"
its an index on how easily a gem can get scratched, I use this mass list for referrencing a gemstones hardness -> gemsociety.org
Common Gems are anything ranking 5 or below.
ex; Howlite ranks between a 3 - 3.5
When gemstones are on the line, like a 5 - 6 ranked gemstone, I'd say to take the mid, 5.5, and use that to rank it. So it would be an uncommon gem ranked at 5.5
although Im not going to be aggressive on monitoring if you used the lower number to get a gemstone you really liked with a lower myo slot
ex; Turquoise ranks between 5 - 6 but if you have a myo ticket of common and still wanted to use Turquoise, then you can count it as 5
Uncommon Gems are ranked 6-8
Rare Gems are ranked 9-10
there is no legendary gems as I thought it wouldnt be fair
Do the MYO's from the Valentine Event have a deadline till they have to be made?
Also, if a gem has for example a value between 5 and 6 (like Lapis Lazuli) what rarity would they count for? Both or the higher one?
There's no deadline for them to be made by! Though I suppose I'd get a little upset if they sat unused for a while /lh /nm
The Gemlees use Mohs Hardness Scale to determine the rarity trait. Lapis Lazuli, for example, scores from a 5 to a 6. I've been using the mid point, 5.5, when referring to gems with multiple possible scores but I'm more or less turning a blind eye to those discrepancies. So it's up to personal preference for now, though you can always find gems of similar luster in a lower hardness-category! /pos
Question, if my fav gemstone is level 7 do i have to change my gemlees stone for it to be in the blue section?
I have a small question! I have a MYO with one rare trait: Am I able to use an uncommon trait instead of the single rare trait?
