UPDATE: GM Estild posted an update to the update for Gemstone binding. Instead, the gemstone will only get a lesser binding when equipped. However, artificer cost for remove of the binding on that specific gemstone will now double each time it is used. LOOK at a gemstone for how many times the lesser binding was removed. GEM LIST will also include binding details. Plus, remember you are restricted to 3 Rare Gemstone properties, 1 Legendary. Full Post:

Instead of greater binding all gemstones when equipped or unequipped, the system has been updated to only applying lesser binding on equip. However, artificer cost for removal of lesser binding on that specific gemstone will now double each time the service is used. This cost never resets. This is intended to allow for some testing and passing around, but should eventually lead to removing the gemstone from circulation due to the escalating costs. LOOKing at a gemstone will reveal how many times lesser binding has been removed from it. Somewhat related, GEM LIST will now include details regarding if a gemstone has lesser or greater binding.
In addition, it was discovered that GEM EQUIP was not restricting a character to 3 Rare properties (similar to the restriction of 1 Legendary property) as intended. This has been resolved.
