Onyx Gemstone

I snagged this at the rare material trader a couple days ago for 1.5k...I've never seen one, never heard of one. I searched Wiki and found one reference to it, in an art update a long time ago.

What the heck do i use it for, if anything? >.> Worth much?

What in the name of hell? never seen, heard, or found one before. Maybe used in the elite mission which might be getting released? ;o

Is there a spot for it in your material storage tab?

Weird...nice snag. I want one just to say I have one : );

If you could be a dear for us and see if that rare material can fit into your matrials tab in storage^^? If it doesnt it's gonna wind up being like those darned Brick of Clay that noone can get to.

crystalline shard anyone?

i dont believe it till i see it ingame

He checked earlier and there isnt a spot for it in the material tab, dunno if he tried to put it in anyways. I've seen it in game, and if anyone else wants to, he's willing to show it.

Heh, thanks Dyeane. I just showed it to Tookis and no, there is no spot for it in the Materials storage.

k srry for not believing u



not a good pic but it was indeed an onyx gemstone

I expected people to think this was a hoax...but if it's a hoax, it's a dang good one, and it's one the Devs are playing around with me too >.>

I wonder who sold it to the Rare Material Trader...we should ask that person.

Wow thats pretty nice. Hopefully it wont be like Mud or Clay or a Brick of Clay when GW first came out. that was just stupid and there are still some traders that accept them. If thats not the case then you have someting similar to a diamond (a new rare material)

SPOILER::

I vote that its (if real, though I'll just assume it is) for the new area at the Statue of Dormir, or something related to that. Sort of the "Ecto" and "Shard" of that area.

It'd be funny though if it went the way of the Brick of Mud and Clay Brick (Materials that were going to be in the game, but were scraped from the game, but they STILL haven't removed them from some Crafter's lists in Chapter 1)

wow.So many things that are unexlained.Wasnt there a daimond tab added in material storage?

Yes there is a space for diamonds but wth...I've been checking the rare trader since NF came out & he hasn't had a single one to sell :O


Maybe wherever you get them from has yet to be discovered by the elite among us o.O

You can get Rubies, Sapphires, and Diamonds in exchage for 7 Trade Contracts in the vabbian Bazaar.

I'm gonna try taking it to that statue once we get favor and see what happens...

that'd be cool if those were like the token for gettin into it.

like he said sumthing like

"omg i luv those gimme gimme! i let u into my 1337 mission!"

and bam ur in

stupid diamonds arent even worth that much either. They're at their 250g base price now.

For something that almost never shows up, the last thing you should do is to sell it to a rare materials trader because you'll get close to nothing for it.

Maybe the new obsidian armour material?

Yes that is interesting, the first thought that came to mind was what if the new elite mission armorer needed onyx and diamonds. If there is not a place for it in storage than I doubt it.
