How Gemstone Combinations Work In Resident Evil 4 Remake
In theResident Evil 4 Remake,players can discover items to sell right away to the Merchant with pre-sell customization options. However, there are also many treasures can be customized with different gemstone combinations to increase their value. These can be found inside standard chests and byopeningResident Evil 4 Remake’s Wayshrines. Players can mainly find gemstones dropped by enemies, such as when Regeneradors drop Sapphires.

How To Add Gemstones To Treasures
To get more money in theResident Evil 4 Remake, it’s worthwhile taking the time to add gemstones to treasures saved over time, rather than selling individual items straight away. Some discoverable sellable items, like the Splendid Bangle, contain only a couple of gemstone slots, so players are somewhat limited with their bonuses. In this scenario, adding two gemstones of the same color, such as two Emeralds, adds the Duo gemstone bonus.
Instead of getting the Bangle’s base value of 4,000, players are awarded approximately5,000 extra Pesetas per stone for the 1.2 Duos gemstone bonus, increasing the items overall selling value to a substantially higher 16,800 Pesetas. However, other treasure items contain more gemstone slots, allowing for various gemstone combinations. With this, players can createResident Evil 4’s best things to sell.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Best Treasure Bonus Combinations
Addingone of each gemstone typeis one of the best gemstone treasure combinations to get the most money. The Merchant seems to value treasure with gemstone variety, or adding all gems of the same color, duos, or triplets.The highest gemstone bonus is achieved by adding five gemstones of different colors, granting a 2.0 bonus per gem. However, adding gems of the same color can also be valuable.
It’s best to refer to the gemstone chart to assess the best combination for which gems players possess alongside the number and type of slots available. Players can even sell one item of treasure for over 100,000 Pesetas (and bag theAstute Appraiser Achievement) by locating the Elegant Crown through a gap in the wall and customizing it with gems.
Players can also get more money from treasure by adding Red Beryl stones combined with yellow sapphires.These high-value gems are dropped by particular enemies, such as Chapter 9’s masked cultist in red. Players can also tradeResident Evil 4 Remake’s Spinelsfor Beryl stones or yellow diamonds with the Merchant, so it can be worth trading these if players have some Spinels left over. It’s worth hanging onto Beryls and yellow sapphires to insert into treasure items later, especially the Elegant Crown and the Golden Lynx.
