# Gemstone & Runestone
The Gemstone and Runestone system allows you to enhance your character by socketing items that grant additional skills and bonuses. Each slot has specific requirements, so understanding how it works is important before upgrading.
**Gemstone Types**\
There are three types of Gemstones:
* Red
* Blue
* Green
Each type provides different skills depending on the gemstone used.
**Runestone Types**\
There are also three types of Runestones:
* Attack
* Support
* Boost
Like Gemstones, each Runestone type grants different effects and abilities.
***
#### **Unlocking Slots**
* Before socketing, you must first unlock a Gemstone/Runestone slot.
* This can be done using a **Blessed Socket Stone**.
#### How to Obtain Blessed Socket Stones

When you unlock a Gemstone or Runestone slot:
* A **carving** will appear on the slot.

**Unique Slots**

#### **Socketing Rules**
