New World has gems you can place in your gear to change their perks. The cut pristine version of the gems can also be modified into runeglass versions of the gems. Below are some images and a quick list of the New World Gem Effects and runeglass effects in both armor and weapons at each tier level.

Weapon Gem Effects

Placing a gem in your weapons in New World can have many different effects. They can increase the damage you deal, change some of the damage types your weapon can deal, or increase the aggro you can gain. Below is an image of the gem effects.

Armor and Jewelry Gem Effects

What gems you place in your armor in New World is important! You can greatly increase the amount of mitigation you have against certain damage types by placing the right gem in your armor before going into activities such as mutations.

In New World, gems have the same effect on jewelry that they do on armor. Crafting a piece of jewelry with a gem will lock that gem into that piece of gear. Below is an image of each of the New World Gems and their effects on armor and jewelry.
