[DST] Gems, Staves, and Amulets Guide 

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Can we all agree that Tumbleweeds are our lord and savior!

No dislikes. Edgy Rick hasn't arrived yet.

I love all the fantasy magical structures that yield gems then fucking tumbleweed

Nice and concise summary of what you can do with gems. A couple things you missed: - The life giving amulet can be worn to recover HP over time. This is the only use for the life giving amulet in wilderness mode. - The last explorer does only 10 damage, compared to the 17 damage done by the walking cane. If you are a player who likes to use the walking cane as a weapon for its infinite durability, the lazy explorer is more of a downgrade.

I once got a green gem from a tumbleweed. I was so overwhelmed I didn't know where to put it since I always put the ancient station items in the ruins itself

Nice video on the gems and what you can do with them. Pretty good. Im just going to say what my opinion on all the gem items are: Now for what I like to do with the construction amulet and the deconstruction staff (the 2 most useful items IMO) is use them for recipes that require extremely rare / non renewable items to craft. Crafting the ancient staffs with the amulet will save you 1 gem per craft, which helps in the long run. This applies to the deconstruction staff as well (do NOT make the staff without the amulet because while it takes the same amount of green gems initially, the amulet will eventually save you 4 more green gems). Since you can duplicate resources with the green gem items, there are quite a few uses for that. Personal favorite is duping thulecite. Craft 1 amulet and use said amulet to make a deconstruction staff and 4 thulecite suits. This will take 14 thulecite, 13 nightmare fuel, 1 living log, and 2 green gems. Deconstruct all your suits with the staff for 24 thulecite and 16 nightmare fuel back, leaving you with 1 use of the staff and 10 additional thulecite (also 3 nightmare fuel, but that's insignificant). Doing this strategy a few times makes it possible to get lots of thulecite with a few green gems and living logs. You can also use the staff to conserve the mandrake in the pan flute like you showed (which is probably its best use). If you make the staffs with the amulet, 1 green gem = 37.5 pan flute uses. I typically use the pan flute against DFly when it enrages to immediately calm it (as fighting enraged DFly is FAR more difficult then the normal version). Since your guaranteed to get 1-2 of each ruins gem, I find it's okay to use the flute for the fight. The other ruins gems have some decent use as well. Lazy explorer is excellent for dodging the fuelweaver ensnare attack, and the forager is required to get the items out of the cave holes (and there are some pretty good items in them as well, like thulecite and gems) and also collecting items in dangerous areas (like tentacle traps). Star caller staff is an excellent tool for winter and for boss fights (by the way, the star only lasts 2 minutes in DS. In DST it's 2.5 DAYS, or 20 minutes). The Magi is incredibly useful for kiting bosses thanks to the additional movement speed it provides. Just make sure to wear head armor when your using it and do not let its durability reach 0%, or it breaks. The other gems I don't find amazing, but they have their uses. I would highly recommend in DST to bring a life giving amulet anywhere you go to respawn for free and with zero penalty (make sure it's not in your backpack though, because it won't drop on the ground if it is, and you need to haunt it to respawn). Chilled amulets are decent equipment for summer (you forgot to mention that if you get hit with it it will freeze attackers, but it freezes them less then an ice staff blast would and takes 3-4% of its durability). Fire and ice staffs are okay crowd control and the ice staff itself can be used to put out any fires/smoldering, which is nice for summer. Telalocator staff / focus can be used to build pens for mobs but doing it over and over will definitely cost you a lot of purple gems, but it can be worthwhile. Nightmare amulet is okay but once you get the bone helmet I wouldn't use the amulet as it's essentially the "upgrade" of it. The other things you can make with the gems are good as well (especially the shadow manipulator as you kind of require it for tier 2 magic). It's just that I haven't really played around with them much or they don't seem useful to me (lazy deserter requires 2 players and I only play by myself a majority of the time, moondial tracts the phase of the moon but the 2 most important phases of the moon happen every 20 days so it's really easy to know when the full/new moon comes, etc.) And the unuseful gem is unuseful so I'll leave it at that. Looks really pretty though. Anyways like I said, good video. Nice of you to make something like this.

Actually there's another us for the chilled amulet, if you get hit while wearing it, it will produce the same effects as an ice staff to the attacker

0:41 Uh, that is NOT the dragonfly.

So tumbleweeds are quite useful.. nice

I thank thee for this magnificent guide to such fine materials, lord Freddo.

I'm fairly new to the game and so far I love it, the community is awesome, barely any negativity. I love your vids, they're enjoyable and explain things in great detail

How to make Wes viable tutorial when?

The nightlight isnt just a light source, it also spawns nightmarebeaks/crawling nightmares and has a small insanity aura. The chilled amulet freezes mobs when they attack you like the icestaff. You can also cook stuff on the scaled furnace. The dwarf star lastst for 20 minutes, not 2. Don't trust that wiki

DST Gems.... I wonder if Thanos has ever got one of these. *EDIT* DST in Portuguese stands for : "Sexually transmitted diseases"

Construction amulet + deconstruction staff + thulucite suits = shit ton of thulucite.

Ah yes, the elements of "laziness" and "labor", along side the traditional fire ice darkness and light

Anyone saw that the lazy explorer's showing for teleporting doesn't say teleport but it says telepoof. XD

No wonder I got a green gem from a tumbleweed.

Jeez I don't have to go in the ruins I can just pick tumble weeds

Thanks for the guide. I really didnt understand the point of gems before this.

Great video, i think i will redirect every new player to this channel =)

you can use the iridescent gem to bait a moleworm and you could feed it to a rocklobster i suppose.

Hey congrats on 1000 subs, your videos help a lot, thanks

I FUCCING LOVE YOU FOR MAKING A STEVEN UNIVERSE REFERENCE

2 things: 1: I know a potential use for moonlenses: porting Capture the Gem from _Terraria_ into _Don't Starve_. 2: I wish that secret final gem would have _some_ use, such as, say, being able to turn Star Caller's Staffs into Moon Caller's Staffs without needing to do that event?

0:41 this is not a dragonfly...

WE *ARE THE CRYSTAL GEMS*

2:17 dragonfly does not need to be killed. you can get the blueprint from klaus and scales drop from dragon fly when get enters second phase

o god good charlie

lol im sorry my name is milk carton, this is sam from discord ;)

I think the gems are : Red= relishing energy Blu = taking away energy Purplu= taking and relishing energy If you don't understand wy I think this way ask in the comments

*T U M B L E W E E D S*

Great video mustacho freddo

Blue gem chills things you hit or get hit by, if this effect is applied enough, the enemy is frozen. Not VERY useful, but if you cannot beat an enemy at all, you can hit it a few times until it's frozen, and then run and never stop. Edit: the amount of times you need to hit/get hit is the amount of hits that enemy takes to freeze from an ice staff.

My question is why mashing a blue and red gem together makes a purple one. They're gems. How do you combine them?? Do you just smash them together and hope for the best??

Am I the only one who laughed when he did the crystal jems theme song with derpy pearl

The purple gem also seems to be mind/insanity, as it's linked to nightmarish things.

Legendary intro

Plz do a fire farm Guide for normal Don't starve =) I already know how to make one, just for other players

I finally got a green gem from a tumble weed. Luckiest find in DST!

*T u m b l e w e e d s*

Ah! Shit! A bird mom!

the beard 777 would make 12 separate vids on it and each one will be 20 min long...

My favorite element, labor

tumbleweed the mvp

great video!

Mandrakes are hard to renew (Klaus presents and WF trees drop pan flutes in the presents) (you can deconstruct them)

Am i the only one noticing hes calling tumbleweed dragonfly?

the infinity stones

Dude I'd love if you put subtitles or at least key words. I sometimes can't understand what you're saying but its good content otherwise. XD

TUMBLE WEEDS ARE GEM MINES

5:32 False. We all know that the colour of labour is red.

DRAGONFLY(and it klaus)

ur vids r good. nice 2 hear an aussie making DST vids.

I saw the cpmment in the DESERT VIDEO!

Orange gem: laziness

lit vids fam

Not first but I'm still here so thats fun

how did you get the maxwells to bow down

I need to go digging

blue gem is saphiire and red gem is ruby

gr8 as always

6:14 pause your video right here and look at what the where the pointer is

THA CHAOS EMERALDS

I feel if the lazy forager was refuelabe like the Mag, it would actually be good, it already is a nice time saver, but but it feels useless for how expensive it is.

Dat thumbnail reminds me of the infinity stones.

Melk karton is good man

Resuming = tumble weeds are op

So the infinity stones...

Some gems can get on earthquake

the orange moon lense is used to craft the lazydese....blah. Guy trails off the ends of his sentences. Can’t understand wat he saying.

Perhaps do a cave base tutorial?

The Pat gem is opal

Wouldn't the orange's element be Earth or Sand? Since you can be seen teleported with orange particles and it also has close relations with the antlion? Idk just a question I would like to ask.

You mean Shaggy Kidney Stones?

Hello, i have the game on ps vita and make the yellow amulet, 2 times but it does not gives me the option to refuel it, do you think its because of the version of the game? I am playing the clasic version no expasions

Question, in dont starve its not allowing me to craft the ice staff even with the blue gem and spear what do i do?

Why is it always tumble weeds?!?!

mmmmmm...what's up with you and edgy rick and you do you guys have beef or what i saw one of his videos and it wasn't so bad or are guys joking?? (just asking i came in peace)

which is the best character in your opinion ?

I'm a make thanos gauntlet

Crystal gem😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂

Where the gauntlet at?

I have a question, do you need to be playing as a certain character to recieve their respective costumes?

like for the intro XDDD

i need purple gem for shadow manupolator

Instant like because of that dumb Steven Universe intro lol

Gems, dont you mean Infinity Stones?

i got 3 blue gems and 3 red from 6 graves ami i a god ?

"From the dragonfly" *shows Klaus*

take your time talking dude, but a very informative video anyway

Your voice is a bit too hard to understand because you speak too fast. Good video though

What did he said, again? 2:45

15.35 wow I'm lucky I got like 6 or 7

Did you make the gem sprites in MS paint?

Could you deconstruct the deconstructer amulet to gain more green gems

Talk fast enough? Jeez, had to rewind parts like 10 times cuz I was like "wait wut did he say?"

I heard online that with the cost of 1 red gem you can permanently overcharge wx-78, is this true and if so how do I do it?

Rofl what is that intro
