Lunar and Solar Gems
Lunar and Solar Gems are a crafting system introduced in Update 69 with the Magic of Myth Drannor expansion. The system, currently found only on Myth Drannor loot, uses special versions of standard Augment Slots to allow players to customise items with Profane, Artifact and Legendary bonuses.
Items using this crafting system include special Moon and Sun Augment Slots, which are accessed in a similar manner to standard augment slots (including the ability to be removed from a slot using a Jeweler's Tool Kit.) Players can slot Lunar and Solar Gems, respectively, into these slots, to provide their bonuses. Like named items, Lunar and Solar Gems have a chance to drop in the loot lists of specific quests.
Lunar Gems largely provide Profane bonuses, while Solar Gems largely provide Artifact bonuses, but certain special augments instead provide special types of bonuses (certain powerful Solar Gems use Legendary bonuses when those are also used in named item sets, while certain Lunar Gems provide Enhancement bonuses to stats such as Negative Amplification that typically use Profane bonuses.) Lunar and Solar Gems stack with the other type of augment (in cases where a benefit is found in both sets of augments) but do not stack with other augments of the same type.
Lunar and Solar Gems are designed as an alternative to named item sets. Myth Drannor introduced heroic (ML:1) and legendary (ML:31) gems; epic gems (ML:21) are reportedly planned in future content. Lunar and Solar Gems were also included with the next adventure pack, Fall of the Night Brigade; it is as of yet unclear whether the system will completely replace named item sets or if other alternatives will also be offered.
Slots[edit]
Sun and Moon augment slots are designed to appear on dedicated equipment slots. NOTE on drop rates in Fall of Night Briagde: Night Brigade drop table most likely places augments in two categories, common and rare. Thus certain sun/moon augments may drop at higher rate (I have found 10 profane charisma in 4 X 100~ runs (ran each of them 100 times), yet a solar heroic MRR CAP gem was an unusual surprise to me in R6 Wizard's Labyrinth. Similarly found a Solar heroic Endurance gem in Rats Cage only once and a Solar heroic Sneak attack Dice gem (not SA damage, but +1 artifact SA dice) in Knife's edge R6.
