UPDATE: GM Nyxus announced that when a gemstone property gets its rarity shifted (See recent Strong Back situation), the shift will *not* apply to existing gemstones so that you have a choice. If you wish it adjusted, please ASSIST. This decision is one-way and cannot be undone.

Gemstone Property Rarity Shifts

When a gemstone property has its rarity shifted – as recently occurred with Strong Back from rare to common – the shift will not apply to existing gemstones. This is because in many cases the shift would be undesirable, e.g. for the purposes of dusting or rerolling. If you have a gemstone with a rarity-shifted property, you may now ASSIST and request that the property be updated to the new rarity. Presently the only affected property is Strong Back.
Please note that this is a one-way decision! We will not be able to undo this rarity change later!
