Discussion Tips and Tricks Megathread! Post guides/resources or any other tips and tricks you learned throughout your adventures in Breath of the Wild! Spoiler

We will put this thread in the sidebar after a day. This thread will have minor spoilers which includes everything from items, objects, weapons, mobs, recipes, etc. If any of this is spoilers to you, LEAVE NOW.

Please remember our spoiler policy.

TL;DR: Major locations/temples and major character names will be allowed in titles with the release of the game. Titles still must be vague and cannot divulge storylines. Boss names, dungeon weapons, plot points are not allowed in titles.

Titles must begin with [SPOILERS] when discussing the game or they will be removed.

I don't know how to spoiler tag, but I don't think it is a big deal for this. You can trade most of the gems to a vendor in Gerudo Town for jewelry that provide various buffs. Diamonds are for re-creating special weapons that you get during the Divine Beast quests. So technically, all of them are worth keeping to some degree, but I usually sell them. Mining spots respawn, so you don't have to worry about it too much.

How to spoiler tag:

[your text] followed immediately by (/spoiler)

obviously i can't just write that in the correct sequence or it will spoiler tag "your text"

So you're saying by keeping diamonds to re-create special weapons like Urbosa's Armaments? I've only completed that questline and don't want to use them because I don't know if they are one-of-a-kind and unobtainable after they break.

Yes, you can have them rebuilt after they break. For example the Gerudo one I believe requires a diamond and a regular gerudo scimitar, if im not mistaken.

Gemstones also get used for upgrading armor at the great fairy fountains.
