Worship is currently the only way to get Jewels (which are only green Emeralds in our current patch).

It appears 1 worship = 1 jewel. There is also a chance to "crit" for 2, 4, or 10 jewels instead of just one. I'm still working on the rate of this crit-drop... but it seems to be about 1 crit for every 3 or 4 worships.

During Christmas we have a double rewards for worship activity as well, so it appears people will get a running start at gathering jewels.

Strategies seem to be all over the map on how to use jewels... personally I'm temporarily putting G1's on all my gear, and working to build 1 big jewel at a time. Current target? Ten G8 Emeralds... though that means 510 gold just to remove them later for upgrading to G10 and beyond.

The ballpark I got was that we'd likely need G8's for lv165, and G10s for 170. Recalling that the number of G1's needed for each jewel is 2^(n-1)... a single G10 consists of 512 G1s.

I think a more realistic way of looking at it is in G5's.... since getting one G5 a day from levy gold is doable.
G10 = 32 G5s, while G8 is only 8 G5s. 32 days vs 8... thats a big deal IMO.

hopefully we get more activities for jewels and get the 190 patch ASAP (where Clapalong promises to bring jewel rewards from ore-rubble processing).
