Gems descriptions

A couple things:

There's not much point in gems displaying both "when wielded/worn" and "when imbued into an item" since as far as I can tell those effects are always identical.

I'd like if gems would show what their gem bomb effects are when you hover over them, so I can know at a glance what a gem is going to do before I convert it. This only needs to show up when you are an alchemist, like how gloves have hidden stats.

It'd be nice if gems and alchemist gems displayed their tier too, and could be sorted in the inventory either by tier or by effect.

So, for example, take the spinel:

Instead, I'd like if it read something like this:

Code: Select all

spinel

Tier 1 gem
Gems can be sold for money or used in arcane rituals.

0.00 Encumbrance

Type: gem / green

When wielded/worn or imbued in an object:
Defense: +2
Throw effect of alchemist gems created from this gem:
Mana regain 10
I'd make an addon myself but I've never coded a scrap in my life and I wouldn't even know where to begin to do it.

I like the idea. However, I have some suggestions for improvements.

1. Have the gem bomb text only display if the player is an alchemist.
2. Have the when wielded/worn text be when wielded/worn by golem, and only if the player is an alchemist.

Mindslayers can also get the wielded/worn effect by putting it in their telekinetic grasp slot. Nor is it impossible that some other class or race that has the ability to wear gems would be created in the future.

One should link it to relevant talents, to make it generic and expandable.
