Cut Gems are created by careful crafting of Cuttable Gems on a Gem Cutting Table. Sections of the cuttable are gradually sliced away until the resulting gem matches a standard shape in the Gem Catalog. At that point, the cut gem may be removed into your inventory.

Nonstandard shapes may be saved in a Specimen Case (available with some multi-month pre-paid packages). Each case holds one cut gem. The contents of the specimen case may later be loaded onto a table for additional cutting.

In the absence of a specimen case, cut gems that don't match a Gem Catalog entry must be discarded.

Different types of cut gems are used in the construction or improvement of various buildings.

WARNING: Some of the listed requirements are from previous tales. Make sure to double check quantities and cuts before cutting and edit as appropriate for Tale 7. T7N.png

Aidenn Mask

{Aidenn Mask (15 carat)}
Carats: 15
Reqts: Two flaws next to each other
Rarity: Rare
How to: Find two flaws next to each other. Trim to sngle thickness using disc 1. Then use disc one to trim away excess from top and bottom of gem. Use disc 2 to cut corners of face.
Uses:

Amanti

{Amanti (11 carat)}
Carats: 11
Reqts: None
Rarity: All
How to: Start with a 3x3x3 solid cube. Use disk 2 and keep turning on Z axis to cut until the center point shows. Flip over so the pointed end is face down and repeat.
Uses:

Amunet

{Amunet}
Carats: 46
Reqts: a sphere of unflawed gem radius 5?
(The finished cut is oblong, so the starting shape may need to be 5x6. -Peacefulness)
Rarity:
Uses:

Appolonia

{Appolonia (21 carat)}
Carats: 21
Reqts: One flaw with a large area of unflawed gem on one side of it
Rarity: All
How to: Find a flaw near edge of gem with a large area of unflawed gem on one side of it. Trim using disc 1 and the 3 to make the heart shape.
Uses:

Bastet

{Bastet (11 carat)}
Carats: 11
Reqts: A two-deep vertex flaw
Rarity: All
How to: A fairly easy cut. Find a gem with a double deep flaw with some unflawed gem around the tip of the flaw. Use disc 1 to cut the gem from each side of flaw to single thickness. use disc 2 to cut point in unflawed area.
Uses:

Bridge

{Bridge (14 carat)}
Carats: 14
Reqts: A pair of two-deep vertex flaws directly opposite each other
Rarity: Ultra-rare
Uses:

Cat's Eye

{Cat's Eye (28 carat)}
Carats: 28
Reqts: A two-deep vertex flaw surrounded by a double ring of unflawed gem
Rarity: Rare
Uses:

Choronzon

{Choronzon (43 carat)}
Carats: 43
Reqts: A 5x5x3 block of unflawed gem
Rarity: Common
How to: Find a 5x5x3 block of unflawed gem, then trim the corners using discs 3 and 2, then cut the ends using disc 1 if needed
Uses:

Corner Heart

{Corner Heart (4 carat)}
Carats: 4
Reqts: Very small unflawed area
Rarity: All
How to: Cut using disc 3. When you have the right shape the center hole will appear.
Uses:

Crater

{Crater}
Carats: 9
Reqts: A pair of Three-deep flaws intersecting.
Rarity: very rare
Uses:

Dalessi

{Dalessi (25 carat)}
Carats: 25
Reqts: None
Rarity: All
How to: Cut shaped by disc 3 and 1. One way to obtain it is to make a big flat surface with disc 3, then cut it into the triangle shape at the back with disc 1. There after shape the front with disc 3 and bottom with disc 1.
If using the cube cut method from Tale 3, a perfect cube will weight 64 carats before slicing with disk 3. The gem does not need to be perfect cube though to achieve the final shape. Using disk 1 cut the gem into a cube. Rotate a flat unblemished side to the bottom and then slice off one corner with disk 3 until the cut meets the bottom corner. Rotate the gem so this side now faces away from disk 3. Cut the new face with disk 3 until this side corner also meets the bottom. Then cut 2 more times with disk 3 on this same side to finish the cut.
Uses:

Dragyn's Eye

{Dragyn's Eye (17 carat)}
Carats: 17
Reqts: 2 aligned flaws on adjacent faces
Rarity: Rare
How to: Cut a right sided triangle by approaching the intersection with disc 1. Then get the final angle by using disc 3 from the back. Get the flat bottom by using disc 1 as well.

Cutting hints from tale 3: A rare cut. To cut a dragyn's eye, you need two flaws that intersect in the same plane. It is ok if they just touch. It is even better if one or both continues past the intersection as it may give you more cutting options. From a top view, the two flaws will form an L, T, or + shape. Pick two legs that form an L to work on. The next condition to look for is to find a right triangle that surrounds each flaw. The long side of the triangle will touch the edge of the diamond shape of the flaw, the other two sides touch the remaining corners. This image shows a gem that was later successfully cut into a Dragyn's Eye. The green highlighted lines show the unflawed section that you need to cut out. If both flaws have non-flawed triangles around them that join on one edge, then it is quite likely the cut will work. Use disc 1 to flatten the sides so your triangles are revealed (it is likely the gem starts this way and no sanding is necessary). Use disc 1 again to flatten the bottom so the triangles are sitting on a flat base. Rotate the gem so that the base is on the bottom and both triangles are facing away from disc 3. Use disc 3 until the Dragyn's Eye is complete.

Uses:

Eyelet

{Eyelet (16 carat)}
Carats: 16
Reqts: A two-deep vertex flaw
Rarity: Common
Uses:

{Hexas Plate (9 carat)}
Carats: 9

How to: Another disc 3 cut. Either find a surface with the cropped out triangular hole you can see here or cut the gem with disc 3 til you find one. Then simply cut away the edges with disc 1 and 3 respectively.
Uses:

Hile's Chevrons

{Hile's Chevrons (25 carat)}
Carats: 25
Reqts: Unflawed plane
Rarity: All
How to: This cut is much easier than it might first appear.

First, trim a flat, unblemished plane on one side of the gem using Disc 1. Carve the long sides of the diagonal lozenge shape using Disc 2. Rotate on the X axis and slice away the short ends of the lozenge shape using Disc 2. Rotate on the Z axis so the vertical plane of the gem is facing away from Disc 2. Use Disc 3 to slice to the edge of the lozenge. Repeat for all four faces of the diagonal lozenge shape. The cuts will meet in the center, creating the final gem.

Uses:

Gem Cut By Type And Use

The letters at the intersection of a gem and cut correspond to the letter in parenthesis under uses, for example Amethyst Dragyn's eye has sw, which corresponds to lesser sphinx(s) and storage (w). The capital Ys under the uses on the right seemed to simply say yes it has a use for this cut, but there were some inconsistencies with that, so not certain. --Aetherfang

Warning: this table is inconsistent with the data above. Help updating would be appreciated.
