Do we not get Gems anymore?

I've only just noticed I've not had a Gem from mining since the update. *sadface* I may have missed the annoucenment, can someone point me to it if there was one?

  • I did get some gems but not as much and often as before.
    Maybe there is a card upgrade ?

  • There are multiple upgrade cards for getting more gems, when you get those it seems to me like I get gems even more frequently than I did before the switch.

  • IIRC there are three gem upgrade cards.  Like Fleep, I think I'm at or better than I was before. The only thing I've noticed is that I've gotten no walloping big diamonds, but again that just may be the luck of the RNG.

  • I have 4 upgrade cards and I'm definitely getting less gems, even though I use Rookswort whenever I mine to keep my mood above 95%. It may be part of the 'leveling of the playing field' that TS has told us of.

  • The last card I bought said it would give me a 8% chance of finding gems. I'm finding I'm getting slightly less than I used to, but still get some gems every time I go mining. No diamonds yet, but I've gotten all the others. Sometimes I've even gotten 2-3 gems from mining the same rock. And usually that happens when I pick a small rock, so maybe good things come in small packages?

  • No gems for me until I got an upgrade card.  I really missed gems!    Despite the bag space the hog,  getting a gem brightens up the drudgery of mining.    I don't feel the same way about music blocks dropping from trees.   In fact, I have tended to pass up most of the cards that offer a chance of getting a special gift from harvesting.

  • FYI gems stack now too, like music blocks.  It was a nice change since gems took up a ton of space if you were doing a big mining run.

  • I received a diamond from mining, a day or two ago. They're out there. I usually just hurl all my gems into shrines to get the extra IMG (which always looks so weird without html brackets around it), which has the nice side-effect of keeping tabs on what gems you've earned recently. There was a diamond in there, I'm sure of it. I don't know if the cards stack or if the %'s are an accumulation, but I have at least an 8% chance of gems when I mine.

    (edit to change from 6 to 8%, double-checked my cards)

  • So far I've only gotten 4 gems, but I think it depends on upgrades
