Version 1.51 changes:
Added glitter effect to gem essence and refined essence. Big thanks to Xmarksthespot for allowing me to use his glitter code on the new meshes for those. And thanks to Gristle-TL and everyone working on glittering-geology as that mod is a big motivation to me for improving gems in game.

Version 1.5 changes:
Changed names of combined dusts again. They were too long.
Re-added gem hammers. They can now be used to pry gems out of unenchanted rings. This should make it slightly easier to find gems.
Gemhammers show up as one item (gem hammer) in loot lists that normal apparatus show up (vendors, loot, displays)


Version 1.12 change:
Changed names of dusts and devices
Changed values on dusts (no longer becoming instantly rich by grinding gems)
Gave value to the metanoi (now called "Quality" Crystalized "gemtype")

Thanks to Dreadnaught_Cotillion for the name suggestions (and to everyone else that has submitted)
Version 1.115 fix:
Fixed menumode selection of metonifier. *smack head*
disabled metonifier use from shortcut
added error messages to metonifier for too little dust, and shortcut use

Version 1.11 fixes:
Fixed menumode selection of gemhammer
disabled gemhammer use from shortcut
added error messages if enough gems are not present.

Thanks to HTF for his suggestions.

Version 1.1 fixes issue with apprentice+ gemhammers not being updated. For best results hotkey gemhammers. Make sure to close inventory after first menu if not.


This new version adds:

multiple enchantments to master quality metanoi
Ability to choose quality of gems to grind, and quantity. This is in addition to type of gem.

Simple Description of mod:
Grind gems into dust, combine dust into enchanting items.

Further defined:
Gem types grindable with hammers:
Diamond
Gold
Silver
Ruby
Sapphire
Topaz
Emerald
Pearl

Gem dust have alchemy effects associated with them.

Metonifier devices let the player combine gem powders into enchanting stones or Metanoi. These stones act like sigilstones. (retextured varlastones) These devices can reduce the ammount of dust required, which depends on alchemy and quality of device. (skills above 100 do count)

Novice through expert metanoi have single effects, addable to armor or weapon. Master have 2-3 effects, depending on teh type. (I felt that some effects were simply too weak compaired to others to be worth collecting alot of flawless gems)

Gemhammers create dust from gems. Click the hammer, select the type of gem, select the quality, and select the quantity. If you have enough of that type and quality, it will grind you dust. Ammount of dust is dependant on agility and quality of gemhammer.



Location: If you have horrible luck at the alchemy vendors, you can find a novice metonifier, and novice gemhammer, in the gilded carafe of the IC Market District, on display. I think the vendor should at least sell these if you have no luck anywhere else.
