Middle-Earth: Shadow of War

[SmoothPancakes]

I slot gems every chance I can. Over time, I've managed to get level 4 gems (refined gems) slotted on everything.

I've got level 4 red warrior gems on my sword and bow so I get 25% increased damage with both weapons. I've got a level 4 green life gem on my dagger so I increase health stolen by 8% with the dagger.

I have a level 4 green life gem on my armor, so I increase my health by 25%. I've got a level 4 white wealth gem on my cloak so I get an extra 12.5% increase to my XP earned. And I have a level 4 white wealth gem on my ringcraft, so any captains that I dominate and recruit automatically gain 4 levels instantly upon being recruited.

Add in another level due to having a level 30 Sword of Dominion, and every captain I recruit immediately gains 5 levels. So if I defeat and recruit a level 25 captain, bam, instantly I've got me a nice level 30 assault leader or bodyguard.

I keep my best gems attached to my gear, but every chance I get, I'm combining and leveling up any and all lower level gems. My goal is to get every thing with level 5 gems. It's gonna be a while though. Not counting the ones I have attached to gear, all I have right now is a single level 1 red gem a single level 3 green gem and 1 level 1, 1 level 2 and 2 level 3 white gems.

And what I do when it's time to upgrade, so I get two level 4 white gems ready to go, what I'll do then is unequip one of the level 4 white gems I'm currently using, combine with the two I have ready to go to make a level 5 white gem, and then I'll re-equip it back onto the gear that I took it off of. So I keep all my gear with the best gems possible, but I also use those gems to upgrade to the next level when I have two other gems necessary for the upgrade.
