Shards

Shards, also known as Gems and Soulgems, are a type of material that can be inserted into armor and weapons to boost character stats.

Types of Shards
There are several types of shards in the game which add varying types of stats, depending on where they are inserted. There are also several grades of each shard which require combination of lower graded shards.

Garnets
Garnets are primarily used to boost a character's physical attack if inserted into a weapon, or to boost their physical defense if inserted into armor.

Citrines
Citrines are used to boost a character's maximum health when inserted into equipment, regardless of the type of equipment.

Sapphires
Sapphires are primarily used to boost a character's magic attack if inserted into a weapon, or to boost their elemental defense if inserted into armor.
