What is the purpose of Soul Gems?
Inserting Soul Gems reduces the difference between the minimum and maximum Attack Value of the particular weapon by a specific percentage which is class dependent. Soul Gems have no effect on the damage inside Expert Mode Dungeons. The rates represent the total increase if the particular number of gems are inserted. Inside instanced maps (Dungeons, Expert Modes, Mission Maps) the Soul Gems give an additional EXP bonus. The more Soul Gems are attached to the weapon the higher the given EXP bonus is.
 * 1 Soul Gem: +10% Base EXP
 * 2 Soul Gems: +20% Base EXP
 * 3 Soul Gems: +40% Base EXP
 * 4 Soul Gems: +70% Base EXP
 * 5 Soul Gems: +100% Base EXP

The second Soul Gem (Mirinae's Soul Gem) needs 200 Devil's Soul Stones and one Skypie's Soul Gem to be forged. The success chance is 25% and costs 3 gold per attempt. If an attempt fails the 200 Devil's Soul Stones are gone but the Soul Gem isn't destroyed. By adding an Enchant Insurance Scroll the success chance is increased by 15% and 50% of the needed Devil's Soul Stones are protected if the attempt fails.
