Guide Gem Bags

Gem bags are our newest addition in terms of custom features and they are meant to ease your gameplay experience while still maintaining the realm's blizzlike concept. If you are one of those players who creates a dozen mule characters to store gems alone or you buy hundreds of them every day then you will find this very useful. Additionally, gem bags will make gems trading safer and faster as you will be able to trade hundreds of gems through the trade window. Important: We strongly recommend you to keep lower quantities of no more than a few hundred gems per each gem bag.



Q: What can I do with a gem bag?
A: You use it to store multiple gems, with a high limit of gems per bag but for your own safety it is best to store only a few hundred gems and use multiple bags instead.

Q: Where can I get a gem bag from?
A: Akara sells both gem bags and the gem remover.

Q: How many gems can I store in a gem bag?
A: We strongly recommend you to store only a few hundred gems per each bag and use multiple bags instead for safety purposes.

Q: Can I store multiple gem types within the same bag?
A: Yes, you can. In fact, you can store ALL 7 of them: amethyst, diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire, topaz, and skull within the same bag.

Q: Can I store multiple gem qualities within the same bag?
A: Yes, you can but they all have to be the same type. All extracted gems will be perfect, you can skip upgrading individual gems to perfect quality in this case.

Q: How do I add gems into my gem bag?
A: Open your horadric cube and transmute the following items: 1 gem bag + 1 or more gems. Any quality you want just make sure they all match the same type.
Example: 1 Gem Bag + 1 Chipped Emerald + 1 Flawed Emerald + 1 Emerald + 1 Flawless Emerald + 1 Perfect Emerald => 1 Gem Bag + 5 Emeralds


Q: How do I remove gems from my gem bag?
A: Using the gem remover, sold by Akara.
Open your horadric cube and transmute the following items: 1 gem bag + 1 gem remover. This will output three items, taking the gem out of the bag.

Q: Akara only sells amethyst gem remover, how can I remove other types of gems?
A: Open your horadric cube and place only the gem remover inside then hit transmute and the removal type will change.



Q: How do I remove a different gem type or quality from my bag?
A: The gem remover is compatible with all gem qualities as for the gem type simply transmute the gem remover alone inside the horadric cube until you get the removal type you need.



Q: Can I add more than one gem into my gem bag at the same time?
A: Yes, you can. You may cube up to 80 same type gems at once into a bag.

Q: Can I remove more than one gem from my gems bag at the same time?
A: Unfortunately due to game limitations the maximum cube output is capped at 3 items so the gem bag, gem remover and gem itself are already reaching together the game output limit.

Q: How can I add or remove gems faster inside the horadric cube?
A: Download one of the maphacks available on our website tools page as they allow you to perform one-click item movements and speed up the process by a lot.

Q: My maphack throws an "unknown item code" error message, how can I fix it?
A: If you are using an older version of BH Maphack make sure to download the latest updated one from our website or you may simply use STING Maphack which is error free http://europebattle.net/d2/tools

 

The reason of the bag is to be more easy to use trade window and not droping them.

 

Not sure about that, I've did some research and seems modders are unable to code something that would copy the horadric cube functions.

 

Agreed, most will use the perfect gems bag but some could also use the chipped one too. If you're talking about gem types then one bag can support all of them as long as their quality is the same but this has already been answered inside of the guide.

Code:

GB1 = Chipped Gem Bag
GB2 = Flawed Gem Bag
GB3 = Normal Gem Bag
GB4 = Flawless Gem Bag
GB5 = Perfect Gem Bag

GR00 = Gem Remover
GR01 = Gem Remover
GR02 = Gem Remover
GR03 = Gem Remover
GR04 = Gem Remover
GR05 = Gem Remover
GR06 = Gem Remover

fac = Fire Aura Charm
tac = Fist Aura Charm
eac = Evil Aura Charm

 

Accepting all gem qualities within the same bag could be a possibility in the future as currently the description of the bag would fill the whole screen if it would accept all qualities and sort them but we might turn the chipped/flawed/normal/flawless gem into a perfect one upon extraction from a a bag in the future or find a better way to approach this.

 

@Henry2, that goes into the suggestions forum.

@CS_oli, you can't for the moment.

 

Just an update on this one, you can use BH Maphack by Underbent or the default version of BH as these won't throw any errors about the unknown item code.
To activate advanced items display open BH.cfg and edit the following line so you can use your ItemDisplay.cfg filter:

 

Sting MH uses CTRL + click
BH uses SHIFT + click
