Overview

Gem is the dwarf miner at the Mountain Foothills. Her route combines a Mining lesson, supply runs with Lyra, two personal heart-to-hearts, recruitment to the Rose & Thorn, and a one-time overlook date. After recruitment she also has a home conversation, eight worker-training options, three crafted upgrades and resort scenes.

Quick Stats

Attribute Value
Age / era / alignment 68 / Medieval / Neutral
Outdoor location Mountain Foothills, 7 AM–5 PM, every game day
Home after recruitment Gem's Delve, outside her outdoor schedule: midnight–7 AM and 5 PM–midnight
Favorite stats Strength 50; Stamina 50; Technology 50
Special relationship skill Data Mining
Outdoor Talk 15 minutes; 1 actual base point; five per day
Outdoor gift Jewelry, Known; 15 minutes; 10 base points; two per day
Brothel worker 14, recruited through Stone and Silk Contract
Initial worker shift / wage / special skill 2–6 PM / $90 / Spinning
Her favorite thresholds improve the shared relationship multiplier, and Data Mining doubles it. Ordinary affection, worker-relationship points and training progress are separate values. The amounts below are base affection unless explicitly described otherwise; the final gains can differ with relationship bonuses.

Recruitment Walkthrough

  1. Meet Gem at the Mountain Foothills, 7 AM–5 PM. Use Talk to Gem up to five times per game day, at 15 minutes and 1 actual base point each. Its metadata lists zero, but the current handler records 1.
  2. At Known, use Give Jewelry, consuming one Jewelry, for 10 base points, up to twice per game day. Both outdoor Talk and Jewelry use −1 base points after their allowances and the shared over-limit handling.
  3. Reach Friend and Strength 25, then choose Gem's Mining lesson. It requires Adventure Tier+ paid access, costs 180 minutes, $600 and 100 energy, and appears only until the player learns Mining. Complete The Dwarven Way to learn Mining and gain 25 base points. The funny answer, “Curious about the rock? Should I buy it dinner first?”, adds 4; caring adds 3 and flirty 2.
  4. Raise Lyra to Known, keep Gem Friend, then enter the Village Market, 7 AM–5 PM, for Short Legs, Long Road. It requires the Mining lesson scene completed and gives Gem 10 / Lyra 10 base points. “I refuse to be outsmarted by a goat today.” adds Gem 4 / Lyra 2; the other two replies give 3 each.
  5. Raise Lyra to Friend and visit the Mountain Foothills, 7 AM–6 PM, with Gem Friend and the supply-run scene complete, for The High Road. It gives 12 base points each. “Declare this the proudest cavalry unit in history.” adds Gem 5 / Lyra 3; “Make sure Gem is steady before Lyra moves.” adds 4 each. This automatic scene's window extends beyond Gem's ordinary 5 PM portrait cutoff.
  6. At Gem Close Friend, with The High Road completed and the brothel owned, enter Worker Rooms, 8 AM–8 PM, for Foundation Survey. It gives 15 base points. Choose “Tell me how to make this safer for everyone working here.” or the flirty response for +5; the cost joke gives +4.
  7. At Gem Crush, with Foundation Survey completed and the brothel owned, return to Worker Rooms, 8 AM–8 PM, for Stone and Silk Contract. It gives 20 base points. Choose “You will be respected here, Gem. That is part of the contract.” or the flirty answer for +5; the fine-print joke gives +4.
  8. Contract completion recruits Gem as worker 14 and grants a separate 10-base-point recruitment bonus, calculated independently. With a five-point response, the scene has 25 base points plus that separate 10-base bonus. Recruitment does not require completing either personal H2H or the overlook date.
The four post-lesson scenes are one-time automatic encounters. Visit their named locations during their own windows; selecting Talk does not substitute for the automatic scene. The initial paid Mining lesson is required for this recruitment chain, even if a player can already enter the mining minigame.

Pickaxes and the Mining Minigame

Gem sells pickaxes at her Mountain Foothills portrait, 7 AM–5 PM, independently of her affection progression.
Action Cost Result Allowance
Iron Pickaxes (x5) 10 minutes; $200 5 Iron Pickaxes; 1 base Gem point One bundle per game day
Pickaxe Haul 15 minutes; 1 Crystal; Adventure Tier+ and the required recent supporter redeem unlock 10 Iron + 10 Copper + 10 Diamond Pickaxes; 1 actual base Gem point No separate daily purchase flag or cap configured
Pickaxe Haul's metadata advertises 2 relationship points, but its handler records 1. The ordinary Iron bundle records its purchase day and becomes unavailable until the next game day. The premium haul does not use that ordinary purchase-day flag.
The Foothills' location Mining action is a separate 30-minute, 30-energy minigame entry, with no Mining-skill prerequisite configured. Gem's personal Mining lesson teaches the skill and advances her story; it is not the minigame entry action.
Within the mining board, a valid swing consumes one selected pickaxe and 10 additional energy. Iron / Copper / Diamond strengths are 1 / 2 / 5. Bedrock requires Copper or Diamond; Glass Cubes require Diamond. Bring spare energy as well as pickaxes. Use mined ingots and Mineral Clusters at Gastoff's forge for separate equipment pieces.

Personal Heart-to-Hearts

Both personal conversations start at Gem's Mountain Foothills portrait, 7 AM–5 PM, and complete once. They have no additional money payment. Their best ordinary answers are listed below.
Conversation Requirements Cost / recovery Best ordinary total
Deep Vein Talk Friend; Short Legs, Long Road completed 75 minutes; 15 energy; Calm +10 28 base points
Warm Copper Crush; Deep Vein Talk completed 90 minutes; 15 energy; Calm +18 45 base points

Deep Vein Talk

Round Highest base-point choice Base points
1 I like seeing you in your element. 6
2 I would like to be one of those few. 7
3 She respects you enough not to make it charity. 7
4 Show me the soft stone, and I will guard the hard parts. 8


Warm Copper

Round Highest base-point choice Base points
1 I was hoping you would invite me across. 8
2 You are wanted, Gem. Completely. 9
3 kiss her gently and let the moment speak 10
4 I meet her halfway. 10
5 I am pleased because you are. 8


Heart-to-heart choice points accumulate and use the shared relationship calculation at completion. The listed points are base values, not guaranteed final affection gains.
In Deep Vein Talk round 1, Mining unlocks “A good vein only opens when everyone listens to the stone.” for 8, replacing the best ordinary 6. The recruitment route already teaches Mining before the supply run, so this gives the best available 30-base-point total.
In Warm Copper round 1, Charm 45 unlocks “Then let me cross properly. No rushing, no pretending.” for 9, replacing ordinary 8 and raising the total to 46. Neither conversation has a separate player Erotic-experience or NPC intimacy-experience reward configured. Romantic adds 25 final affection points after the shared H2H calculation.

Stonewatch Overlook Date

Complete Warm Copper, reach Romantic, and choose Stonewatch Overlook from Gem's Foothills portrait. It costs 120 minutes, $80 and 35 energy, restores 15 calm, and completes once.
Start between 4 PM and 5 PM. The action lists 4–8 PM, but the portrait needed to select it is only present until 5 PM. Gem's Delve menu does not offer this date as an evening alternative.
The scene gives 8 base points, with three choices worth up to 5 each:
Choice Highest-value reply Base points
1 “You deserve places that ask nothing from you.” 5
2 “I like listening to what stays in you when the noise is gone.” 5
3 “Then I want to keep making room with you.” or “Wanting you has become one of my better habits.” 5
Maximum: 23 base points. This is a plot date rather than an H2H, so it does not receive the H2H-specific Romantic +25. Completion is required for the later Nothing to Prove crafted upgrade.

Gem's Delve and Daily Appreciation

After recruitment, enter Gem's Delve from the Cell Corridor. The Delve door itself requires Gem found as worker 14; reaching the corridor through the ordinary travel route also requires its construction. See Gastoff for the corridor commission.
Gem continues going to the Mountain Foothills, 7 AM–5 PM, even after recruitment. She is in her Delve during the remaining hours: midnight–7 AM and 5 PM–midnight. This is her NPC portrait schedule, separate from her worker shift.
Delve Talk takes 15 minutes, gives 1 base point, and has four positive uses per game day, separate from the outdoor Talk's five. Further attempts use −1 base points and the shared over-limit handling. The Delve's current personal menu offers Talk; it does not relocate the Foothills lesson, gifts, H2Hs or date.
At her home portrait, Appreciate Gem's Craft takes 20 minutes, gives 1 base affection point and Loyalty +1 up to 100, and completes once per game day. It follows her presence and home-from-vacation status, with no extra on-duty requirement.
Upgrade Rose and Thorn is currently on hold and hidden, including in the Delve. Recruiting Gem or redeeming a construction code does not currently make that action available. Gastoff's active facility commissions remain the available construction route.

Worker Visits and Training

Use worker 14's visit menu while she is active, home from vacation, not resting and within her assigned shift, initially 2–6 PM. Visits use a separate once-per-game-day allowance. Her outdoor and Delve schedules do not replace this shift check.
A visit costs 60 minutes, 60 energy and 40 calm. Active Time / Power / Focus buffs halve their respective costs to 30 minutes / 30 energy / 20 calm. The session offers its own Talk, praise, gift and training allowances; one training choice is available per visit.
Training starts at level 1 and advances by one per completed training, up to level 8. Earlier options remain available. All eight options have both required images in the current game.
Level / training Worker stat increase
1 / Kissing Charisma +1
2 / Oral Intelligence +1
3 / Missionary Appearance +1
4 / Cowgirl Stamina +1
5 / Doggie Ability +1
6 / Special 1 Dexterity +1
7 / Special 2 Two random primary stats +1 each
8 / Special 3 Two random primary stats +1 each
Every completed training also gives 50 player Erotic experience, worker experience and worker-relationship points scaled to the player's Erotic level. Tantric Arts reduces training stress from 20 to 10; overflowing 100 stress damages the worker. Sensual Mastery, Emotional Bonding and Pleasure Arts improve their respective experience, relationship or stat rewards. Current Gem worker training does not have a separately registered NPC intimacy-experience award.
Training level, worker-relationship points, NPC affection and player Erotic level are separate progression systems. The crafted upgrades below double matching worker experience, rather than all of these values.

Worker Gifts and Clothing

In the worker visit gift menu, Gem's favorite is Gemstone Heels, her least favorite is Flowers, and Jewelry is an ordinary worker gift. This differs from her 10-base-point outdoor Give Jewelry action.
Worker gift Worker-relationship points Base NPC affection Loyalty
Gemstone Heels 15 8 4–8
Ordinary gift, including Jewelry 8 5 2–6
Flowers 3 3 1–3
Each consumes one item and uses the session's gift allowance. Ben Arthur's cobbler shop, 6 AM–9 PM, sells Gemstone Heels for 20 minutes, $2,000, 2 Gems and 2 Epic Fabrics.
Potion gifts instead provide Time +1 Dexterity, Power +1 Stamina, Shield +1 Loyalty, Focus +1 Intelligence, Desire +1 Ability, Cologne +1 Appearance, Luck +1 random stat, or Antidote restores health and clears stress, using the same gift allowance.
Gem has a Fernando's Creation worker fitting scene. Fernando allows up to two ordinary fittings per worker while below clothing level 5, followed by his separate eligible level 5 → MAX level 6 upgrade. See Fernando for current costs and the shared daily fitting allowance.

Crafted Training Upgrades

All three actions require Gem In Love, recruited and home from vacation, her ordinary Foothills presence, 7 AM–5 PM, and the actual crafted item in inventory. Each consumes one item, completes once, and takes 0 minutes, with no additional money payment or configured affection reward.
Action Crafted item Additional story requirement Upgrade
Nothing to Prove Hexbound Rose Sachet Stonewatch Overlook completed Missionary worker experience ×2
Listen Close Prismatic Spell Brooch Deep Vein Talk completed Oral worker experience ×2
Full Weight Void-Kissed Charm The Dwarven Way and Deep Vein Talk completed Special 1 worker experience ×2
Each also adds 0.5 to her worker income multiplier: one upgrade gives 1.5×, two 2×, all three 2.5×. The upgraded training adds its authored movie to the normal worker sequence. These gifts do not require completing all eight training levels before giving them.

Resort Activities

Unlock Sirena Isle and send active worker 14 on vacation. These actions require Gem actively vacationing at the resort and use their own daily allowances.
Action Place / window Cost Reward / allowance
Resort Talk Current resort portrait 15 minutes 1 base point; six per day
Eat with Gem Buffet, 11 AM–4 PM 60 minutes 3 base points; Satiation +100; once per day
Relax with Gem Beach, 8 AM–4 PM 60 minutes 3 base points; Energy +50; once per day
Spa Night Spa, 7–11 PM 60 minutes 3 base points; Energy, Health and Calm +25 each; once per day
Sunset Walk Beach, 5–8 PM 60 minutes Five-round H2H; once per day
Eat, Relax and Spa favor Caring or Flirty +5, over Funny +4. Restorative rewards stop at normal caps. Completed activities other than Talk offer a 25% Sea Shell opportunity. Gem is not in the current Private Beach Time video roster.

Sunset Walk Best Answers

Sunset Walk with Gem

Round Highest base-point choice Base points
1 Soft ground suits you more than you admit. 9
2 For the record, the engineering is excellent. 10
3 Copper light looks dangerously good on you. 10
4 Then let me keep proving the work. 12
5 Same walk tomorrow. I will bring the look. 15


Heart-to-heart choice points accumulate and use the shared relationship calculation at completion. The listed points are base values, not guaranteed final affection gains.
The best ordinary answers total 56 base points, with no special skill/stat alternative or NPC intimacy-experience reward configured. Romantic adds 25 final affection points. This H2H is repeatable once per game day while Gem is vacationing, independently of her two one-time personal H2Hs.

One-Time Resort Scenes

These scenes trigger automatically once when every listed participant is active and vacationing together. Each gives 3 base points to each participant, with Caring / Flirty +5 or Funny +4, and offers a Sea Shell opportunity. Shell Survey only needs Gem.

These are main-story steps, separate from her personal recruitment and date. Their story outcomes are intentionally omitted.

If Progress Stalls

  • Recruitment scenes missing: follow Mining lesson → supply run → High Road → Foundation Survey → Contract, and meet both Gem's and Lyra's affection requirements.
  • Free-version recruitment blocked: the authored chain requires Gem's paid Mining lesson scene; entering the minigame does not complete it.
  • Pickaxe purchase missing: the $200 bundle resets next game day; Pickaxe Haul requires its paid access and recent supporter redeem unlock.
  • Home empty: Gem is at the Foothills 7 AM–5 PM. The home door needs recruitment, and the route passes through the built Cell Corridor.
  • Evening date missing: start Stonewatch at her outdoor portrait 4–5 PM; its broader listed window does not keep that portrait present.
  • Training option missing: complete training sessions to advance the separate 1–8 training level; affection and player Erotic level do not directly unlock those menu levels.
  • Crafted gift missing: be In Love, recruited, home from vacation, and at her Foothills portrait with the item and the specific completed scenes.
  • Resort group scene missing: every listed worker must be active and vacationing together during its own window. Bring Gem home before attempting her ordinary Foothills, Delve or crafted-gift content.
