The Veil Legendary Gems Guide: How to Get Rare, Epic & Legendary Gems
Gems are useful items in The Veil, especially if you want to improve your weapons with special effects. Some gems are easier to get, while the higher-tier ones have much lower chances. In this guide, we will explain how to unlock the gem gacha, where to find the Shimmering Sanctum, how much each roll costs, and the current gem chances. We will also look at the Shadow Diamond enchantment and what it can do when applied to a weapon.
How to Find the Shimmering Sanctum
The first step is finding the Shimmering Sanctum. This location can appear randomly inside the Maze, so there does not seem to be one fixed path that always takes you there. If you already have a Radar, you can use the coordinates shown on your screen to help with navigation. The Radar itself is a rare drop and can be found while exploring the game.
Once you find the Shimmering Sanctum, look for the NPC inside the area. Talk to him and he will ask you to provide a gem. Give him one gem and he will teleport you to the Sky Island.
How to Reach the Gem Gacha
After being sent to the Sky Reach, your next goal should be finding the TP Obelisk.
The teleport obelisk is located around the middle section of the island. Make sure you activate it when you arrive because this will save you from having to return to the Shimmering Sanctum NPC every time you want to visit the island.
Once the teleport is unlocked, head upward from the central area. The gem merchant can be found on the upper part of the island.
This area is more useful for late-game players because the rolls require Silver. If you have already built up a large amount of Silver, you can use it to repeatedly roll for better gems.
How Much Does a Gem Roll Cost?
The gem merchant gives you two ways to make a roll.
You can spend 500 Silver for one random gem roll, or you can use 32 Robux instead.
The Silver option is generally the better choice if you have plenty of currency saved up. However, remember that every roll is random, so spending more Silver does not guarantee a Legendary gem.
You can receive different gem rarities from these rolls, including Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary gems.
The Veil Gem Drop Rates
The gem shop shows the chances for the different rarities. The listed rates are:
- Uncommon: 60% chance
- Rare: 40% chance
- Epic: 10% chance
- Legendary: 1% chance
The Legendary category includes extremely rare gems such as the Shadow Diamond.
Because the Legendary chance is only 1%, you should expect to spend quite a lot of Silver if you are trying to get one through normal rolls.
How to Get a Shadow Diamond
The Shadow Diamond is one of the Legendary gems you can obtain from the gem rolls. There is no guaranteed method to get one. You simply need to keep rolling through the gem merchant and hope that the Legendary chance appears.
Having a large Silver supply makes this much easier because you can continue purchasing rolls without needing to stop and farm currency after every attempt. If you are trying to get one, it is a good idea to save your Silver before starting. A few unlucky rolls can quickly use up your currency.
How to Enchant Your Weapon With a Gem
Once you have a gem you want to use, take it to the Blacksmith.
Equip or hold the weapon you want to modify, then use the enchant option. From there, apply the gem to your weapon.
The result depends on the gem you use. Legendary gems can provide much stronger effects compared to lower-tier options.
For example, the Shadow Diamond shown in the showcase produced a powerful enchantment called Shadow Lightning.
Best Way to Farm Legendary Gems
Getting a Legendary gem mostly comes down to having enough Silver for repeated rolls. A simple approach is to:
- Explore The Veil and build up your Silver supply.
- Search the Maze for the Shimmering Sanctum.
- Find the NPC inside the Sanctum.
- Give the NPC a gem to reach the Sky Island.
- Activate the TP Obelisk.
- Go to the upper part of the island.
- Talk to the gem merchant.
- Spend 500 Silver per roll.
- Repeat until you get the gem you want.
- Take your Legendary gem to the Blacksmith and enchant your weapon.
The main thing to remember is that there is no guaranteed Legendary roll. Patience and a good amount of Silver are important if you want to chase the 1% drop.
The gem system gives late-game players another way to improve their weapons in The Veil. The hardest part is not reaching the merchant once you have unlocked the Sky Island, but getting enough Silver to make repeated rolls.
The Shadow Diamond is one of the most exciting gems because of its Legendary rarity. When used for an enchantment, it can produce effects such as Shadow Lightning, which adds lightning damage, a short stun, and Shadow Fire to your weapon.
If you are trying to get one yourself, save your Silver, unlock the Sky Island, and prepare for plenty of random rolls. A Legendary gem only has a 1% listed chance, so getting one may take some time.
