Superior Gems are a high-tier crafting material in Raven 2, primarily used for accessory crafting (rings, earrings, necklaces). They are rare and require end-game content to obtain efficiently. For players who prefer to bypass the grind, you can buy Raven 2 Crystal through trusted third-party platforms to trade for Superior Gems on the auction house, though farming remains the primary method. This guide covers all known methods, from monster farming to weekly instances.

Primary Use: Accessory Crafting

Before farming, know why you need Superior Gems:

Crafting Station: Access via the "Crafting" or "Blacksmith" menu, then navigate to the Accessory tab.

Recipes: Superior Gems are required for high-tier rings, earrings, and necklaces. Always check the recipe details before farming.

Tip: Do not waste Superior Gems on low-tier accessories. Save them for end-game gear you plan to enhance significantly.

Method 1: High-Level Monster Hunting (Primary Source)

The most direct way to obtain Superior Gems is by defeating high-level monsters in the field or elite dungeons.

Target Specific Mobs: Focus on monsters significantly higher level than standard map enemies. These are often marked by a red nameplate or a "danger" indicator.

Recommended Zones: Late-game hunting grounds with dense monster populations (e.g., Rocky Red Canyon area mobs).

Drop Rate Mechanics: Superior Gems are rare drops. Using drop rate increasing items (Scrolls of Abundance, premium buffs, or event boosters) is highly recommended.

Grind Efficiency: At higher levels (e.g., 58+), field grinding can contribute to your daily XP while passively farming gems.

Tip: If you have a "Temporary Bonus" active (the paid daily quest upgrade), use your extra Corpus quest time to farm high-level mobs efficiently.

Method 2: High-Stage World Instances (Weekly Priority)

This is arguably the most reliable weekly source for Superior Gems.

Relevant Instances:

Deep Swap (high-stage converts to a World Instance)

Ancient Temple

Rocky Red Canyon

Reset Timer: Weekly (typically Monday at 00:00 server time)

Why it's good: Boss reward pools in high-stage World Instances often contain Superior Gems or their fragments.

Strategy: Run these early in the reset window (Monday–Tuesday) when the most geared players are active. Clear them every week without fail.

Method 3: Dismantling / Salvaging Unwanted Accessories

If you have high-tier accessories you no longer need, do not sell them raw.

How to do it: Look for the "Dismantle" or "Salvage" function at the blacksmith or in your inventory.

Target items: Epic or legendary-grade rings, earrings, or necklaces that are not worth selling on the auction house.

Result: Dismantling can directly yield Superior Gems or fragments. This is especially useful when you upgrade your own gear and have old pieces left over.

Method 4: Events & Exchange Shops

Limited-time events are an excellent source if you stay attentive.

What to look for:

Daily/weekly login rewards

Special event shops (use event currency to purchase Superior Gems)

Guild shop or faction reputation exchanges

Pro tip: Check the in-game event tab and all NPC merchants daily. Some merchants have a "Sympathy" system (as mentioned in the leveling guide) that unlocks better crafting materials at higher reputation levels.

Method 5: Alchemy / Synthesis System

If you have a stockpile of lower-tier gems, do not ignore the crafting interface.

How it works: Combine multiple lower-grade gems (e.g., Regular Gem → Polished Gem → Superior Gem).

Where to find it: Usually under "Crafting" → "Alchemy" or "Material Fusion."

When to use: This is a stable, predictable method. It is not fast, but it guarantees progress if you farm lower-tier mobs consistently.

Method 6: Auction House / Player Trading (Fastest but Costly)

If you have sufficient silver or diamonds, skip the grind entirely.

Where to check: In-game Auction House or Market Board.

Price variation: Prices depend on server economy. Recently, Superior Gems have been in short supply, so expect high prices.

Recommendation: Only buy if you need one or two gems to complete a craft. For bulk farming, use Methods 1–3.

Final Tips

Do not rush: Superior Gems are rare by design. At higher levels (e.g., 58+), you can expect to collect a handful per week if you clear all content.

Combine methods: Farm high-level mobs while queuing for weekly instances. Dismantle old gear after upgrades. Check events daily.

Save for purple gear: As with Els (enhancement stones), do not waste Superior Gems on blue-tier accessories. Wait for purple or legendary recipes. If you need additional currency to purchase materials or gear from the auction house, you can buy Raven 2 Crystal from a trusted platform like MMOEXP to streamline your progression. Watch for updates: The game regularly adds new events and may adjust drop rates. Stay connected to community channels (Telegram, etc.) for tips.
