Finding And Using A Gem Forge introduces gems, the Ancients' way of strengthening weapons. The Alchemist knows where a Gem Forge stands in the Springlands. The Fell have ransacked it and carried its Archaic Essence into a Shroud Lair, where a Fell Banshee boss waits. Beating her gives the Gem of Bleeding, which goes straight into a weapon at the forge.
