The forge has elegants for all items, crafted from red gem


Recommended Posts

It would be pretty interesting if we have gem color themed events from now on:

  • Blue being ice, cold, snow, (maybe winters feast?)
  • Orange could be exploration based event, teleporting, maze-solving, etc.
  • Yellow may be a light based event? Heat, sun, etc. No clue what can done with it, perhaps desert themed or something.
  • Green could be seen as productivity, a building and crafting themed event? 
  • Purple according to maxwell is raw power, so it could be a magic and new powers based event.

The only odd part about the gems that drew my attention is that the one on Pugna's belt is a red one, but was carved to look like a purple.

 

This was made consistent in the promotional poster, animation, and in-game; it must be important to keep the shape.

 

He can teleport things into the arena, which the purple gem has the power to do.

Perhaps he's able to replicate other gem types by carefully crafting one to look like another or to perfect one into being at or above the power of another.

 

In real life, the creation of crystals is a process that is done easier with both time and heat to reduce the odds of creating impurities in the alignment of the hardening material.

The longer time and slower the descent of temperature the easier it is to make crystals perfectly.

The Forge is surrounded by seemingly endless heat supply, and clearly the area has a surplus of supplies to sustain themselves if they've gone to arena combat for entertainment purposes.  So time they have, too.

I'd like to point out something in regard to the gem theory.

Exploration is a pretty good way of describing normal Don't Starve. Aka the Constant—which if we wanna go on a limb—Constant. Unchanging. Stagnant. ...Lazy..? Eh? Eh? Bit of a stretch, but interesting to think about.

Plus of course the Desert Stones being impure orange gems according to Maxwell. If the Infernal Staff's odd molten rock is an impure red gem... Bingo.

Every time a new feature is added, people freak out about how "it's totally linked to the gems, guys!" but... Colors existed before gems. Just because there's a lot of red in the forge doesn't mean every event is going to be themed around a gem.

i'll make a little prediction:

 

Purple themed event will have skins for Bat Bat, Nightmare amulet and Telelocator Staff

Blue - Skins for Ice staff and chilled amulet

Yellow - Star caller's Staff and Magiluminescense

Green - Construction amulet and deconstruction staff

Orange - Lazy forager and lazy explorer skins

 

And let's just wait
