That's not how quivers work, which is what I suggested. Have the alchemist equip the gem to the quiver slot and use his convert skill to make bombs, not destroying the gem. Yes, I'm aware that some of the other skills use gems. I don't think that's a problem.

My issue with the current system is that there's a finite limit that's completely irrelevant. I think that limit should be either made relevant or removed, and everything else in the game seems to suggest removal.

Since you can get infinite loot drops to convert into infinite gems, I would say that the resource is unlimited.
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.

I dunno, my current Alchemist is getting perilously close to running out of T5 gems, and will no doubt be relieved that I've been collecting T4 gems for him to fall back on.

Beyond upgrading the Rod of Recall, though, what do I particularly need fortress energy for as an Alchemist?
  • I don't really need the training room, because I'm not choosing weapons according to their damage-dealing ability.
  • I'm not undead, so I don't have a Cloak of Deception to upgrade.
  • Not needing the auto-gemify transmo chest upgrade was the whole point of this discussion.
  • I'm certainly not touching the farportal with a ten-foot vilestaff.
  • Every other use I can think of is purely cosmetic.
Besides, I can always transmo the gems later if I need more money; I can't very well un-transmo them later if I need more alchemist gems.

Infinite loot? That sounds an awful lot like that "grinding" stuff everyone's all up in arms about, so it must be a bug. You should definitely let DarkGod know about it. :wink:

You can, they are called shops.
