Gems and Sockets

Get ready to unlock the hidden potential of your Sneakers with the dazzling world of Gems and Sockets in Grinstep.

Gem Types and Level

There are four enchanting Gem types, each representing a unique Attribute for your Sneakers:

  • Yellow: Efficiency

  • Blue: Luck

  • Red: Comfort

  • Purple: Resilience

To enhance your Sneaker Attributes, you can unlock Gem Sockets as your Sneakers reach specific levels. Once unlocked, you can insert Gems of the corresponding type into the Sockets. Remember, only Efficiency Gems can be placed into Efficiency Sockets, and the same goes for other Gem types and their respective Sockets.

But that's not all! You have the power to upgrade your Gems, amplifying their effects and magnifying your Sneaker's prowess. By burning Grinstep Tokens (GFT) and combining three Gems of the same type and level, you can elevate them to a higher level. It's a magical transformation that will leave you in awe.

Beware, as the path to perfection is not without risks. During low-level Gem upgrades (Level 1-4), there is a chance of failure. In such cases, you will lose your Gems. So, proceed with caution and may luck be on your side!

Socket Quality based on Sneaker Quality:

Unlocking Gem Sockets is an essential step in your journey to empower your Sneakers. Each time your Sneaker reaches levels 5, 10, 15, and 20, a new Socket will be unlocked, allowing you to insert more Gems and amplify your Sneaker's Attributes.

The quality of the Socket, which determines the additional boost to the inserted Gem's Attribute, is based on your Sneaker's quality. Behold the Socket quality percentages based on Sneaker quality:
