# Gems

In VRMARS, with each level the Flame Pistol or the Vacuum G acquired users will unlock additional Gem Sockets on their assets. Gem Sockets are special slots that allow users to insert Gems, powerful items that can enhance and improve their Flame Pistols' or Vacuum Gs' attributes.

Each Gem Socket is designed to accept a specific type of Gem. There are four types of Gems, each representing an Attribute: <mark style="color:yellow;">**Yellow**</mark> for Dexterity, <mark style="color:blue;">**Blue**</mark> for Luck, <mark style="color:purple;">**Purple**</mark> for Resilience, and <mark style="color:red;">**Red**</mark> for Wisdom. By inserting the right Gems into the correct Sockets, users can tailor their Flame Pistol to their own playstyle and maximize its potential.

With the right combination of Gems, users can turn their Flame Pistol into a tool for better earnings from mining.&#x20;

#### Unlocking and using Gem Sockets is an essential part of the gameplay experience, and mastering this system can be the key to success.

{% endhint %}

To upgrade Gems, users can head to the Upgrade tab under the Gems section and burn $VRM to combine three Gems of the same level and type into a higher level&#x20;

**(i.e., three Level-1 Dexterity Gems to one Level-2 Dexterity Gem).**&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### However, there is a certain percentage of Gem upgrades that can fail from Level 1-5. If the upgrade fails, users will lose their Gems.

{% endhint %}

When users insert a Gem into a Socket on their Flame Pistol, the Gem will have an <mark style="color:red;">**"Awakening Effect"**</mark> on the Flame Pistols' base attributes. This means that the Gem will boost the Flame Pistols' base attribute by a certain percentage, depending on the level of the Gem.&#x20;

For example, if a user inserts a Level 2 Dexterity Gem into a Socket on their Level 0 Flame Pistol, the Gem will boost the Flame Pistols' base Dexterity attribute by 40%. This can give users an edge for a better earning system.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vrmars-3.gitbook.io/vrmars/vrmars-mobile/in-game-assets/non-nfts/gems.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
