# Gems & Sockets

### **Gem Types**

Users can enhance Sneaker Attributes by inserting Gems into corresponding Sockets unlocked at certain Sneaker levels. There are four Gem types, each representing a specific Attribute:

1. Yellow: Efficiency
2. Blue: Luck
3. Red: Comfort
4. Purple: Resilience

### **Socket Types and Qualities**

* Sneakers have four Sockets for Gems, color-coded by Attribute type.
* Sneaker’s Attributes are boosted when a Gem is inserted into the matching Socket.
* Sockets unlock at Sneaker levels 5, 10, 15, and 20.
* Higher quality Sockets amplify the Gem's effect.
* While Socket type is visible pre-unlock, its quality, influenced by the Sneaker quality, remains hidden until unlocked.

The Socket quality is influenced by the Sneaker Quality:

### **Rainbow Gems and Sockets**

Rainbow Gems can be inserted directly into a Rainbow Socket to increase the Rainbow Power. There is no quality for Rainbow Sockets. Rainbow Gems cannot be used for further upgrade.

Upgrading Gems (require 3 Gems of the same category) might yield a Rainbow Gem at the same level (for instance, upgrading three Level 1 Efficiency Gems could result in a Level 1 Rainbow Gem).

**Removing Gems from Rainbow Sneakers will burn/destroy the Gems.**
