The Gems

However, you will need to cut the gems before you can use them. Regular gems can be obtained randomly while mining any rock. They are also a drop from many monsters around the Runescape World.

In addition to the normal gems, there are gems known as Shilo Gems. After you have completed the Shilo Village quest, you will be able to mine rocks that contains the "Shilo Gems". They are not used in crafting. In fact, Jades and Red Topaz are not used to anything. But you can sell them to the store, it can be a good XP source. We provide Runescape powerleveling for you.
However, Opals are used in Fletching. You can cut Opals twice, and you will get Opal bolt tips. You will earn fletching XP the second time you cut it. You will also earn more XP if you use them on normal bolts, you can't use the tips without having the actual bolt.
