i thought the summons used to be pretty useless , until i found out what those gems i collected are supposed to do . funny how i wondered for so long why i had to carry all these gems with me :rolleyes2 . n-e-ways, i've been trying to find new ways to get more gems . at Daguerro, i transfer Ore for some Aquamarine at the fountain , and then i go to the Synth master to have some gems made . before all that, i just go into battle and try to extract as many Ore i can from each monster w/Eiko's jewel .
