Just wanting to gem upgrade my dual guns and I have all the gems except the diamond. Any good methods to obtain? I don't think I can take on any giant crystal golems or such just yet and I feel hunting ancient titled monsters might yield a very low chance of getting the gem I need.
Please and thank you peaches ^^

    diamonds are pretty much a chance with all methods. there's a way to get 1 cm gems fairly easily but you need to be kinda strong :c The giant red-eye ornata spiders in scathach beach. I was killing them a couple days ago and I got a diamond almost every kill but they are usually only 1c... though somehow I got a 3cm one. Diamonds are kind of a rare chance drop from theater missions, festia boxes, metallurgy, fragmenting echostones.... you might be better off just buying a diamond. they cost about 10k per cm so depending on the size you need you can earn the money to buy one from a few shadow missions

    he means a player shop usually on the channel that is Busy.
    Someone most of the time will have a player shop selling gems for some amount. Like when I did it last I had 10cm gems (all but diamonds) for 15k gold a pop

    Sometimes you find gems using a metallurgy sieve at Port Qilla, and a few other spots in Iria. Diamond is still a really rare find, though, so you may be looking for hours. Using the music skill Harvest Song and/or panning for gems while it's raining while using the sieve may help your chances, though, since it increases gathering success rates. Diamonds are sometimes given out during events too...or you could buy one off of another player in Dunbarton on your server's commerce channel (Alexina and Ruari: Channel 1, Mari: Chanel 2, Tarlach: Channel 7). People set up their stalls on the city wall on the left-hand side as you arrive by moongate, next to the farmland with all of the scarecrows, haystacks, and potato fields. And, of course, they sometimes are given out as prizes from Festia games like Clobbermeister and Crystal Defender (Play those two if you're going to try, since they actually have single-player enabled. The rest are multi-player only.).

    Metallurgy, the unreliable but efficient method of getting ores, and lucky if you get gems.

    If you're in Tarlach, I can just give you a diamond. I don't mind.
