Thanks guys, these tips are just what I was looking for. I didn't realize they made it less necessary to hoard malachite gems, I was going to advise them to hold on to every one they got. I was also wondering, is there any way to reset stat points, even if it's with console commands? I remember being frustrated at wanting to completely switch up my build and being stymied by stat differences, and since then I've kept str/dex/int pretty balanced for flexibility, but it would be nice to be able to spec fully into something.
