Was cutting up some Shilo gems today and was watching the xp and noticed i was getting small amounts when I mis-hit a gem and crushed it. I didn't catch the exact values but will try to see if I cut up more. Anybody else who's cutting Shilo gems watch and help if you can.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[pokemama edit: Jagex actually introduced this well over a year ago, maybe more. They show the xp on their website. I have collected a pile of uncut gems with the intent of testing it, because until you've crushed 10 or 20 (and gotten the xp for each step along the way, heaven help us!), you can't be *sure* of the decimal point xp data. haven't found anyone as crazy as I am to do this with, lol.]

Ok I think I'm resurrecting this thread haha. As soon as my mem renews, I'll be happy to crush a few gems to test this too. Pokemama, did you manage to test it out? If not, I'll play around with it soon and see what numbers I get.

 

 

 

Jagex states the numbers as follows: http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/crafting_jewellery#precious_gems

 

Uncut Opal: 15 if successful and 3.8 if crushed

 

Uncut Jade: 20 if successful and 5 if crushed

 

Uncut Red Topaz: 25 if successful and 6.3 if crushed

 

 

 

I can still confirm it if we need, might just be a week or so before I get it.

We have added this to the guide. Thanks for the correction.
