A Purple Gem is a Refined item used to craft several Magic items. It costs 1 Red Gem and 1 Blue Gem, and requires a Prestihatitator to prototype.

Outside of crafting, Purple Gems can also be obtained by:

• mining Ancient Statues
• destroying Broken Clockworks
• opening Ornate Chests
• killing Clockwork Bishop and Damaged Bishop
• killing Dragonfly which drops 1 - 2 Purple Gems
• gathering them from Cave Holes in the Ruins by using The Lazy Forager
• finding Sunken Chests which have a chance of dropping Purple Gems when hammered
• searching Tumbleweeds that have a roughly 0.01% chance to drop Purple Gems
• crafting one as Wilson without the use of a Prestihatitator if he has the "Transmute Gems I" skill

Purple Gems are required to craft the Shadow Manipulator, Bat Bat, Telelocator Staff, Nightmare Amulet, and Moon Rock Idol. Three Purple Gems must be installed in a Telelocator Focus before it will function, and they will be consumed when the Telelocator Focus is used.

Purple Gems can be used to power Winona's G.E.M.erator (though it is more efficient to use Blue or Red Gems for this purpose since they can be easily acquired on the surface). They're also used for several other character-specific recipes and useful gear. See below for a full list.

Tips

• Thanks to periodic Hound waves, purple gems are renewable, even in the base game, as both Red Hounds and Blue Hounds drop Red and Blue Gems, respectively.
