I bought a Brilliant hexagonal* Ruby (360 additional damage - triggers on attack) but how does it work? is this affected by crits, and does the effect procs on spells or just on auto attacks? :s I feel like there's not enough informations. And what about other gems? :)

"Triggers on attack" => random proc on any attacks or skills
"On evasion", "on critical hit" => will proc everytime the condition is met
"On block" => will proc on every auto-block (blocking with BM skill for instance will not work)
"xxx Attack Power", "xxx Evasion", "xxx Additional Damage", etc. => Mainly on Diamond (but some other gems can have AP on them too), passive stats boost (doesn't need to attack, its just like your weapon/acc)
360 additional damage on hit. Allow me to explain some things.
On additional damage. It is not reduced by defense, it is raw damage. Think "True Damage" if you are a league. It cannot crit, and it cannot be increased by +damage.
On the gem itself. It has a 5% chance with a 1% delta to proc on any hit. NOTES:
*If a skill hits multiple times, it can proc gems multiple times. 5 point strike on a BM can do +360 5 times. Also DoT (damage over time) abilities such as Ivy Poison can proc it.
*Cats can proc gems. Each cat attack has the same rules as you for gems.
*The damage it deals is seperate. You will see 360 in white whenever the gem procs.
Bonus for Additional Damage.
the basic (meaning not including crits blah blah) damage formula is : ((AP X SkillMultiplier) x 0.01(100-(|enemyDef-Pierce%|))) + Additional Damage
Additional Damage is not accurately depicted on tooltips. It is only adding additional damage once; however it is added to every swing. Therefore on attacks like 5 point strike, an Additional Damage gem that grants +25 will actually do +125 damage. Refer to your skill multipliers for further investigation.
As far as I understood it:
-It triggers randomly on attacks
-It's pure additional damage, so it does not crit or increase anything else except just do +360 damage after everything.
-I assume it can trigger on spells/abilities, since so does the AP/LS on Crit.
thank you! :D
Well heck... I thought this was on every hit, not needing a proc. I'm re-thinking gems now, maybe the triggers on bloc or something is more effective.
Also, what other gems have AP on them? (per the post in this thread) I thought it was only diamonds.
The (Attack) Sparkling Hexagonal Amethyst & Citrine you can get from the Blackwyrm box have a bit of AP on them (+ the amethyst/cirtrine regular effect).
The (Attack) Brilliant Hexagonal Peridot from the Valentine event has 3 AP on it too.
That's not their main stat though, just a bonus.
You probably meant hexagonal, but it's random. The chance of proc is 5%~ give or take 1% point margins. I had one, but I salvaged it and started crafting normal pentagonals to make the crit hit 1 pentagonal (since it isn't tradeable). Even if it has a 1% chance to proc, the damage over time would equate for more than 360 damage.

its tradeable its just not marketable
