How do you spend your Gems in the early-mid game?
Here is the list of things that I commonly use my gems for. I think ( and I could be wrong ) that most of these are cost effective.
Fire: Lightless Lanters, fire brands, charcoal shields, shields of gleaming gold, shadow brand, gems for flaming arrows
Air: Not much, maybe staff of storms. I usually just wait until conj-8 for the queens, which is a long time to wait.
Water: Frost Brands, Boots of quickness, Swords of quickness, Jade armor, Clams ( maybe )
Earth: Earth boots, Troll courts, fire brands, shadow brands, hammers
Astral: Luck pendants, AMA, starshine skull caps, maybe angels
Nature: Vine Ogres, Rings of regen, reinvig items, Eye shields, globals like GoH.
Death: Banelords, Wrath Swords, shadow brand, maybe wrathlords, maybe a lich or two, banefire archers can be very deadly.
Blood: lots-o-summons. Devils, Death Knights, Ice Devils, Storm Demons, Archies, Hell swords, blood stones, just great stuff.
What I notice is that, with the exception of blood and to a lesser extent death, there are not a lot of summons on the list. It seems that items dominate the list.
So what do you guys spend gems on?
