This is rather peculiar. What we previously know as diamonds are now renamed "Flawed Diamonds". So Empire Adornments now sells Ostentatious Diamonds in addition to Flawed Diamonds, formerly known as Diamonds? The images have all changed as well.

From what I can tell, Flawed Diamonds replaced Diamonds and the pages need some editing. I've made some small edits but could use some assistance, particularly if there's a way to mass-edit all the affected pages. Advice?

Is there an item called Diamond now? If not, all we had to do is move the Diamond page to the name Flawed Diamond and leave a redirect behind. And then, I guess, manually edit the link/name in articles but it's not a huge rush if the redirect works.

How did the images change? --DrinkKryptonitetalk 06:10, June 18, 2013 (UTC)


No changes to the images, just the names.

Since this matter has been concluded, I'm going to hijack this thread to ask the burning question:
Where and how do we get emeralds?

They're precious jewels just like Diamonds, so it's not completely off-topic!

We have the images for emeralds here:

My best guess is a rare success from a purchase at Mr Stones' Exquisite Gifts and Luxuries. It's only a guess, though! I've never seen an Emerald on a player's mantelpiece or read of anyone owning one. It just seems sensible that it should exist as an item. If it does currently exist, it could also be locked behind Fate. Much like the Fabulous Diamond, you might need to fulfill difficult and special unlock requirements to even see the option to obtain an Emerald.

Either way, I plan to test Mr Stones' Labyrinth shop for its results, especially its rare success. It'll probably be a bag of Ostentatious and/or Magnificent Diamonds.

There's Obviously the chance of it not being released. I wish you plenty of luck either way! — Aximillio (talk) 10:28, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

I know, but that would just be mean! Teases. >_<

This is why I wrote all the above "this is rampant speculation" disclaimer banter. I don't want anyone crying to me after they've wasted 200,000 Glim and 3,000 Correspondence Plaques at Mrs Stones' shop. I can perform my fair share of sobbing alone, thanks. (It's fairly safe to give up on spotting a Rare Success after 300 tries. You can usually find even the 1-3% RS's after 240-280 tries. The Labyrinth shop has a ~30-35% chance of success, so I need to blow through approximately 300 successes and 700 failures to confirm a RS. 1,000 total actions means 200,000 Glim and 3,000 Correspondence Plaques. I'm hoping to spend far less than that amount to confirm a RS, but ya never know...)
