Help

Ioun stones are a class of magic-imbued gem noted among scholars of the arcane arts for their ability to pass on a variety of effects and abilities to their possessors. According to psuedo-erudites, the late Tamarack the Enchanter rediscovered the art of imbuing precious gems with the iounic enchantment while digging through the remains of the ancient Istax Empire. Unfortunately, through the vagaries of strife and time, that secret is feared to be lost once again.

Info

You may activate and deactivate an ioun stone by tapping it.

Ioun stones depend on gem quality to determine their boon strength.

Types, Attributes and Ranges

There are many types of ioun stones throughout the land, some increase attribute scores, modify various traits, and provide boosts to various skills.

The strength of an ioun's boons depends entirely on the quality (or grade) of the gem enchanted. This does not mean that any particular grade will always have a set bonus. Gem grades are much like equipment sizing; "small" can be worn a range of sizes and similarly a gem's grade of "fair" will vary in strength. The bonuses granted will lie within the range a particular quality of gem encompasses. As such, two gems of the exact same grade may grant slightly different amounts of their particular bonuses.

  • Not sure if this is totally accurate, I've been able to create +3 OF from a good amber just as easily as an exquisite amber
  • All of the high-end ranges below are coming from a peak gemwake ability used on exquisite gems
  • Buffs from the same gem can vary by character, unclear why this is, perhaps skills somehow factor into how effective ioun stones are?
    • This was tested on characters with little to no skill that was being buffed, so it wasn't some sort of cap issue 
Quality Levels: Very Poor < Poor < Fair < Good < Excellent < Exquisite < Unearthly
Excellent and Exquisite will result in a max Trait Ioun Stone via a max gemawake
Excellent can at times equal Exquisite from a Stat/Skill perspective
i.e. don't poo-poo Excellent Gems
