The gem gets the uncut gem's rank; the uncut gem can raise a gem of its kind by one rank instead (ranks and cutting).

Rank¶

An uncut gem takes its rank from the level of the creature or chest that drops it:

Drops¶

When creatures or chests drop currency, the game first picks a family by the total weight of its items, then an item in it: the rarer the drop, the more it favours higher tiers.

A character carrying Sigil of the Frost Wing receives it once.
