### Gem Upgrading

Gems can be upgraded on the Workbench, using Shiny Dust, when having the required recipe acquired (through the Gems Achievements) or via the Gem of Enhancement, by right-clicking on it and left-clicking on the specific gem. Combining a gem with specific amount of Shiny Dust results in a one tier higher gem than used in the crating process.

### Opal Division

A new feature that came with Dark Legacy was the Opal (or the new Jewel of Coalescence) division into the Gems used for its creation, by using the Opal Diviner provided by the Jewelers in the Hub worlds.
