Rare gems from mining and tiered pelts from skinning — sell them to Carlos at Outpost for RP and Dollars
Precious Drops adds rare gems and tiered pelts as random drops when you mine ore nodes or skin animals. These special items have unique skins and can be sold to the NPC Carlos at the Outpost for RP and Dollars — turning your regular gathering into a passive income source.
Gems are unlocked through SkillTree prestige levels. Everyone can find Emeralds from the start, but Rubies require Prestige Level 1 and Diamonds require Prestige Level 2. The rarer the gem, the more it's worth.
Gems drop randomly when you hit any ore node (stone, metal, or sulfur). Each hit has a small chance to produce a gem, scaled by your tool.
Pelts drop randomly when you harvest animal corpses. Any animal works — bears, wolves, boars, stags, horses, polar bears, tigers, panthers, and crocodiles.
The tool you use affects your drop chance. Better tools = better odds.
