[00:02] This is many a true nerd and welcome to Abyssal Lapidary which is as I understand it a Victorian Gothic horrid gem crafting simulator and basically yes
[00:14] gem crafting simulator and basically yes 100%. Let's go. And I will give you this game straight away. It has cocking bags of style. Just look at that. This is where I live. the underground Gothic city of Fathom Home, which apparently
[00:30] city of Fathom Home, which apparently has like Yeah. lightning underneath it. Possibly we're like, you know, hanging from the ceiling of a gigantic artificial cave or something. I don't know. But it's cocky gorgeous. And
[00:45] right, there's a painting here that might explain something, which is, yes, is. some sort of mining equipment that goes away down deep underground beyond the lightning. So, I'm guessing,
[01:01] you know, forbidden evil stuff down below because that's what this game's about. You're like, you know, in the gem crafting business that the gems might be, you know, just the tiniest bit haunted and or evil. So, step one, I
[01:17] acquire rocks. I could take a lookie at them with my fancy rock magnifying glass and yeah identify what they are. Different rocks are different hardness and toughness though I would have assumed hardness and toughness were like
[01:32] synonyms for each other. So oh dear this game may be assuming some level of geological knowledge I simply do not possess. So, as a result, yeah, get out the chisel just to give you a quick stab and Oh, okay. It's really beautifully
[01:49] tactile. And tragically, I think yes, there wasn't a secret jammer hidden inside the limestone. The point is though, the chisels are pretty good at dealing with a limestone here. However, much hotter rocks down below,
[02:05] that's doing nothing. You need the right tool for the job. However, over in my box of yes, mysterious minerals I've not actually got around to working yet. This
[02:17] one looks a lot more promising. So, okay, hardness two, toughness one, and okay, hardness two, toughness one, and not so bad. And just spinning it around, right, there's two gems in here. So, we got to get them out nice and careful.
[02:34] So, grab the chisel, flip it around to hardness two mode. That's the best bet hardness two mode. That's the best bet I've got right now. Then begin chipping I've got right now. Then begin chipping away the rock around the jammer. But be
[02:49] careful not to damage the jam because that might affect how much it's worth. So, once it's exposed, grab it. And thing away. It just meant the gem actually cuz yeah, this second one looks
[03:07] actually cuz yeah, this second one looks a lot flipping bigger. So, just to give a lot flipping bigger. So, just to give you a quick poker. you a quick poker. And as for the other bit of rock inside
[03:19] my thing here. Oh, sandstone. You can literally break sandstone with your bare fingers. I'm not worried about that. So, okay. Just grab a tool of my choosing.
[03:32] Check. Yeah, the right setting for that. At 45% will be a okay. Yes, I appreciate my tools are getting a little bit on the damage side. As soon as we're done with that, we shall have two more fancy gems though, John. You can literally scan the
[03:48] gems right now. So, right, Zirkon and flagged that they are officially separated. There we go. They get shoved in the chest. You know what? Apparently, we've
[04:01] got a customer. Probably an evil sinister customer. So, let's go say hello to them. So, hang on. Summon them with the bell. Hello there, sir. Welcome to Honest John's family. Jules, how can I help you today? So, okay. Plain and
[04:17] simple. This guy just buy stuff that I've worked on. And specifically, he wants some corundum. And I've got some of that. That was the really hard stuff I couldn't work on. So, given there's nothing I can do to it. Go on then, sir.
[04:31] You can have that. Though, actually, hang on. Thinking about it. If I just hang on. Thinking about it. If I just chisel off the rest of this material,
[04:43] presumably one thing could become two. Then I could give him just the grunt, which is what he's really after. So, yeah. Pop you down. There we go. We've now got basically a block of precisely the thing
[05:00] he wants. Or alternatively not, right? I may have just run into a slight confusion between rock and ore here. I am so sorry. It's my first day working that. He considers that incredibly impure and will pay no money for it. I
[05:15] think what he wants is ore that comes out of Corandom. But he will buy, yes, gems. bare minimum. He'll buy those gems we just got. Those are acceptable,
[05:28] right? So, ring the bell to get rid of him. This guy's from the gem crafting guild. Okay, so hopefully he didn't overhear the fact that I don't know the difference between a rock and an ore because that might count badly against,
[05:43] you know, my license renewal application. But basically, yes, this is an official shakedown. He wants 50 coins every 4 days. Oh, and that's apparently it. That's the basic tutorial. Oh, I feel like there's a lot I don't know yet
[05:57] in game, but fine. We'll give it a go, I suppose. Anyway, welcome to Honest John's family jewels. How can I help you today, sir? And right, you might want to commission me to do something. So, okay, within two days, you want any sort of a
[06:13] within two days, you want any sort of a precious crystal, any sort of quartz, or specifically citrine or amethyst, which I'm pretty sure I just had one of, but sold to that guy who was here before you. So,
[06:26] I'm just going to say yes to all of these and hope that like, you know, we do find a bloody way of tracking down those particular things. Right. And finally, we've got spot on. Precisely what I was hoping to say. A chap selling
[06:42] me new bits of rock. And hello, Saxane. And hello, Saxane. I see something in this one. Crude I see something in this one. Crude amethyst, which is a type of quartz. So,
[06:57] at whatever the it is you're doing right now. Right. I'm buying that immediately. And that was the only easy one in terms And that was the only easy one in terms of yeah, spotting something. The rest
[07:12] it's down to, I don't know, instinct or some sort of geological knowledge. Though, I tell you what, I just bought limestone. So, yeah, if I can, I'm going to buy different stones. So, I've just got more experience with various stones,
[07:28] which is going to be useful for leveling up. So, I will buy this here shale. That's acceptable then. Yeah, sandstone, limestone, a shale. Okay, we've not seen
[07:41] you before. I'm going to buy you. Spot on. And that's all I can afford for now. And officially, I'm supposed to go to bed and wait for the following morning. Absolutely not. I am ready to jump into, you know, cracking open my loot rocks.
[07:57] you know, cracking open my loot rocks. So, here we go. Start with you, my So, here we go. Start with you, my friend. Because uh hang on. We are friend. Because uh hang on. We are dealing with Yes. 67%. Oh, that's huge.
[08:09] dealing with Yes. 67%. Oh, that's huge. Oh, that's cocky. Huge. Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, flipping Yeah. And this might also explain Yeah, those darker patches stress notes more physically resistant, but
[08:24] but okay. They basically explode. okay. They basically explode. do a whole bunch of good work here. Spot on. And okay, the situation with this thing is, yeah, it's got an impurity
[08:38] rate, which is the remaining rock I've not chiseled off, currently at 2%. So, not chiseled off, currently at 2%. So, if I want to, I can ever so slightly improve the jam by just taking off all of these tiny little bits to make it a
[08:54] bit nicer. Spot on. And there we go. The impurity rate is now zero. A J can sell that thing immediately. Either as this category more generally or as yeah, a
[09:06] specific gem, which you're going to pay a lot more for because yes, it's more specific. Though, I may have damaged it a tiny bit while I was chipping at it cuz it does have a breakage rate of 11%. But even so, I'm going to make like 200
[09:20] But even so, I'm going to make like 200 gold by selling you straight away. So, oh, it turns out I'm a genius at this. Oh, and we're not done yet. The other rocks have got stuff in them, too. Possibly like I'm buying geode. So, as a
[09:34] result, there's never not something inside the geode. Like, that's the entire point. But, you know what? I'm enjoying the process of finding exciting things inside of my rocks. However, we do now have yet another quartz to
[09:50] do now have yet another quartz to deliver here for another deliver here for another 130 golden. Question is, yeah, what 130 golden. Question is, yeah, what precisely is a precious crystal.
[10:02] Where do I get one? Well, okay, before we get to that, repair my chisel. I like my chisel. My chisel's good, but I can also spend money to Yeah. make it better. And that does not cost much money anyway. So yeah, chisel
[10:19] durability. That's a good investment. And also of note, oh okay, I'm going to need a lot of material, but I can make my chisel much
[10:33] more capable over time. For the moment at least, I'll just max out durability. That seems, you know, like a good investments. And good to be honest, I was having such a nice time just, you know, digging into my loot rocks and I
[10:45] gems thing. But yes, I am inside a haunted house. But, you know, there is a mysterious hauler here. It is also, you know, mysterious and bottomless, obviously. Yep. In better news though, I do have a cat.
[10:59] Hopefully, the cat isn't haunted. And speak of the devil, quite possibly literally. Right. Move time forward to the evening and some more people might show up. Okay, it's a tool salesman and blime me
[11:14] do I have a lot of options immediately. But you know what? I'm going to buy a hammer so I can smash sandstone and whatnot super easily. Problem is I can whatnot super easily. Problem is I can only buy so much. So
[11:28] selling this stuff on the cheap goods, sir. So, uh, I'll take this because presumably, yeah, I could sell that to the all salesman and when he comes back, if I just clean it up a little bit. Honestly, this looks like it's got a
[11:43] pretty generous amount of stuff in it, too. A jam. A hammer should be very efficient. Just a clearing of the rock off. Oh, yeah. Oh, flipping Yeah. I just off. Oh, yeah. Oh, flipping Yeah. I just got better at something, I think. Oh,
[11:57] though. Be careful, John, because you're dealing with, yes, a base metal at this point that the hammock can damage. So, if I don't like, you know, hit things carefully
[12:11] potentially, I could just break the actual, you know, ore I'm trying to get out. So, maybe just put that down for a second. Go for the chisel. What I want is yeah, something that is effective against the stone, but not effective
[12:27] against the actual ore. So, that's the opposite. That's the opposite of what I want. Okay, the chisel's a bit smaller anyway. Let's just pick off a little bit more in
[12:42] Let's just pick off a little bit more in the way of the stone while not damaging the malachites. Yeah, the breakage rate on that is up to 35%. So, I'm pretty sure I did just smack it with a hammer at some point. The other one I was a lot
[12:54] more careful with. And yeah, the breakage rate is like half, presumably making it a lot more valuable. And here's interesting. While sweeping up, I just collected some base metal material, the material I need to make my tools
[13:09] better. So, uh, right, potentially. Yeah, taking the odd bit of, you know, or we don't really need and just smashing it with a hammer in order to use it to upgrade my tools. That might be a good thing to do. I
[13:24] mean, I'm going to be honest, this one I feel like I've kind of broken already in feel like I've kind of broken already in a way. So, just begin stabbing you. Who a secret diamond inside. There was not a
[13:36] reducing this already damaged one just to like, you know, chips and whatnot. to like, you know, chips and whatnot. And that is worth a lot of flipping a And that is worth a lot of flipping a base metal material. Right now I just
[13:50] need some more cash here. So I'm so sorry, sir. I cannot afford any more of your stuff. Have a nice day. Well, that's all we've got for now. So I'm going to go to bed and sorry. Need to close the balcony doors
[14:04] apparently. Probably a good idea in like, you know, a haunted society and like, you know, a haunted society and whatnot. Very true gamer. Very true. There we go. Now I could go to bed. And
[14:16] here's interesting. At the end of the day, I can make yet two appointments for the following day. I.e. guaranteeing people who are going to show up. So I do people who are going to show up. So I do need to sell some ore. So I'm going to
[14:29] yeah call you up to show up first thing in the morning. And then my second person is going to be a crystal monger because I need Yeah. some sort of a good equality crystal to complete my other objective. Like, you know, that contract
[14:45] I took up yesterday. Anyway, good morning. Welcome to Honest John's family morning. Welcome to Honest John's family jewels. And oh, hang on. We've got a relic buyer, except for ah, you're
[14:58] under those gloves, you've got tentacles, not hands. tentacles, not hands. And did you just give me money for Frey? how many tentacles you've got. You're now my best friends. Despite that
[15:13] though, tragically, yes. I don't currently have any relics to sell. Now, here's the guy I was after. The one I called up. So, okay. Important plot people show up first, then the people you've actually called up on the phone,
[15:26] and he will happily buy Yeah. All of this for I'm going to be honest, I was this for I'm going to be honest, I was hoping for more the six or 16. Right. hoping for more the six or 16. Right. So, I've made a loss on that. Pyite is
[15:40] not worth very much. Okay, I'm going to sew you this cuz I need a bit of money just like, you know, kick off the day and whatnot. But yeah, the relic guy did just say sometimes there are relics inside or
[15:56] now this is ore. So, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. warn. I'm upgrading my chisel to make it a bit better at cracking stuff open cuz this pirate is Oh, I did not need to do that. This pirate was not very tough anyway. But
[16:12] yeah, just grab you. I can now put this into grab you. I can now put this into ridiculously powerful mode if I want to. ridiculously powerful mode if I want to. So yeah, up to 67% there. So, give you a
[16:25] So yeah, up to 67% there. So, give you a bit of a Oh, I just picked up some skill points. That's good. immediately seeing any like, you know, Eldrich artifacts here. So,
[16:45] know in theory they might be in there. As for you, however, I just unlocked gem faceting. I kind of love this game just basically gives you things and says, "Figure it out for yourself, you stupid loser." So,
[17:01] loser." So, fasted gems. Start fasting. I've got Wait, what the is that? Possibly this just came with the table, so I've got something to facet. I don't know.
[17:13] So, I choose a cut. And now what I need to do is Oh, bloody hell. How precisely does one do this? So, do I need to Oh.
[17:27] Oh. Oh. Uh oh. Wait. Yes. Do I want to actually rotate the thing or am I just actually rotate the thing or am I just going to the green? Yeah. Okay. Are we rotating at all? I don't know. Possibly I'm just in charge of timing.
[17:41] Possibly I'm just in charge of timing. So, okay. Just a tiny bit earlier than I think it is. And that will be good. Yeah, just a tiny bit earlier. That's the tiniest bit of delay. I think I'm starting to get this now. There we go.
[17:54] starting to get this now. There we go. There we go. There we go. And I've made a gem. But only some things can be faceted, like gems, but not all.
[18:06] It does concern me, by the way. The one entire branch of the skill tree is increased awareness presumably of um, you know, weird stuff.
[18:18] There's been a suspicious lack of weird stuff quite frankly. Possibly it's there and I'm just not noticing it. So, okay, this may be simultaneously a Jon and character John is playing as a perception minus one moment. And hello,
[18:31] sexy. The toolsmith is now selling relic compasses. So, okay, if I save up for that, then yeah, I can discover if a
[18:43] relic is inside something. That is something I will definitely save up for. But bloody hell, I'm lacking in money. Okay, you need a lot of money in this money in a hurry. And speak of the devil. Hello there, money lender. Okay,
[18:58] I will take a large amount of money, please. I'm going to regret this. This is going to go wrong. But yes, give me the largest amount of money possible. the largest amount of money possible. Now, uh this however, this is what I was
[19:11] flipping looking for. Right, time to spend some of my money on gems. And these are very expensive again, but I can afford them. Some of you have definitely got guaranteed stuff inside. The question, of course, is am I going
[19:26] you know, Ooh, that one's good, apparently. Yeah, logically, you don't want to be buying crude basic gems because you won't get the cocking money because you won't get the cocking money back. And here's interesting.
[19:41] We've got a precious crystal fragment here. Don't have the rest of this obsidian. There's not much I can see. It's only ordinary. It's only ordinary. But I kind of need a precious crystal
[19:55] fragment to sell to the guy who, you know, will pay me if I actually get a formention thing. So, not a great selection here. Put you back. I'm gonna buy you
[20:12] were any of the others worth having a Luke? Like there's one superb gem in a Luke? Like there's one superb gem in a here. Just those two though. I don't love your selection, good sir.
[20:27] Meanwhile, you sell a jade gems. Oh, hello sexy. Some ores harbor corrupted structures. may spread as you work the corrupted to
[20:40] all. Corruption severely reduces. Gosh darn it. I was assuming corruption would be worth a good money. It's only 145. I'll take it. Okay. Step one. I'll take it. Okay. Step one. Let's just chip out that. No. Careful
[20:56] with the actual gem, John. Careful with the gem. Let's just chip out. Oh, maybe more than one gem, actually. Oh.
[21:09] Oh. Okay. It turns out this might have been a very good investment by me. So yeah, the way we do this is put you down and then put small or pieces. There we go. We're just separating the gems off one by one here. So just pop that down.
[21:24] one by one here. So just pop that down. Separate out the or pieces. Okay, Separate out the or pieces. Okay, we have now got a few unidentified minerals which is
[21:36] okay. Technically, yes. I've not actually like scanned that thing yet because I only scanned one of them. So, right, figure out what those are and right, figure out what those are and also what quality they are. So, yeah,
[21:49] also what quality they are. So, yeah, three ordinary one fine. Now, I could if I want to deliver these right now. The Oh, hang on. You actually want this one even though
[22:02] it's ordinary. Why? because of right breakage. I was careful with one of them. Breakage really negatively impacts
[22:14] that. But okay, before we do that, let's take one of the less valuable ones and work it over here. So, just same as we did over here. So, just same as we did before. And oh yeah, but now now I'm
[22:29] going to nail the timings. Okay. So, just give this a go and see how we feel about the end result. Like, will you actually take that end result, my actually take that end result, my friends, because uh that looks pretty
[22:44] friends, because uh that looks pretty bloody nice to me. A tier. Thank you. But yeah, he literally doesn't want that. So, okay, give him the one he does want right here. Deliver that for like, you know, 100 silver. Lovely.
[23:01] you know, 100 silver. Lovely. I paid hanger what was it about 200 300 I paid hanger what was it about 200 300 gold for the actual rock and now what I've got is yeah I've sold one of those pieces for like 100 and in theory if I
[23:14] can find someone to buy it I could sell you for about 74 and then I've got two others I might be able to sell for like 50 each. So, uh, okay. Turning a profit, as you know, a haunted gem crafter. It's a bit on the tricky side on occasion.
[23:30] Right. Meanwhile, the other rocks I bought. Okay. They've got some uh, you know, lovely things in them, too. Garnets. So, all right. That might be worth some good stuff, actually. It did just strike
[23:45] me, by the way. I've spent a lot of money, not got much back, and um do need to repay both the money lender and the guild like really soon.
[23:59] Okay, there's a side room here where I could start displaying some of my Well, jewelry might be pushing it a bit to be honest. Wait, wait. Faster gems are
[24:12] allowed. I'm going to put Yeah. this allowed. I'm going to put Yeah. this nice fine garnet I cut in there. That's nice. Fast gems. It needs to be an actual ring. Yeah, let's put some good
[24:25] stuff in here. All right. I'm now displaying jewelry in my store, which means more people visit and yeah, I make more money. Okay, this could be of use.
[24:37] Following day, another mysterious person has shown up and given me a haunted camera so I can, you know, record weird stuff and just out of interest.
[24:49] stuff and just out of interest. These are flowers sufficiently weird that you might be willing to pay for a photo of them. photo of them. Okay, that appears to be like an oddity.
[25:01] And for that, he's willing to pay me $400. He might stop the money lender from breaking my and legs. Speaking of
[25:13] which, yeah, I don't really know what this thing is, what it's worth, what it's worth, but I can pull it off
[25:28] but I can pull it off using my obtain living tissue. Okay. Fascinating. So, okay. Just grab Okay. Fascinating. So, okay. Just grab that. Give it a wiggle. Pull it off.
[25:43] that. Give it a wiggle. Pull it off. Yeah. Potentially living tissue might be worth something. So, okay, back to the storefront. We've got someone coming in a selling a few bits and pieces. However,
[25:56] However, I've got a new toy here. A torch that can yank. give me an idea of roughly what's inside, but only the color. So, I just need to learn what
[26:10] that really means. Now, I might also be able to use that to estimate. Yeah, it's size. So, here we go. This one's pretty cheap and it's got a lot of like green in it. So, for any 147, I'm going to buy that. So, speak of the devil. Let's
[26:27] that. So, speak of the devil. Let's figure out what that really means. So, figure out what that really means. So, okay. What was that inside? okay. What was that inside? Perfect vertily. Apparently, it's not
[26:39] very valuable, but you know, there's a fairly large amount of it. Oh, and hello, sexy. I think we might have just found our I think we might have just found our haunted relic. There we go. It took a
[26:53] bit of a battering, but I've officially discovered a relic, either sell to the weird creepy relic man or display for certain bonuses.
[27:07] And speaking of which, hello new friends, an archaeologist. So, okay, we might not get much good So, okay, we might not get much good stuff in terms of, you know, gems,
[27:20] but relics and fossils are available. And speaking of which, And speaking of which, I can't but notice that um this one appears to be glowing.
[27:41] nothing extra in this rock. And bloody hell, this guy knows he's y got my attention. Unfortunately, you can put a price on dinosaur bones as it turns out. And the price is bloody high. But let's be perfectly honest. I'm
[27:57] not buying anything but the weird glowy one. We're definitely buying the weird I'm basically bankrupt again. I think I'm not doing a good job running this I'm not doing a good job running this haunted gem store. Also, apparently
[28:11] that's not an oddity. I felt really confident that that was going to be an oddity, but apparently that is not an oddity. All right, let's give this a loop. Say Kajab.
[28:26] The material itself is perfect of Verdilites. is perfect of Verdilites. Okay.
[28:38] But it came from the archaeologist. Meaning hang on. You just scanned that then scanned it again. Does that mean there's maybe two here or
[28:54] something? Oh, yeah. There's the sparkly one, then the not sparkly one. Just curious what's going on inside the sparkling mic. sparkling mic. There's got to be something in the
[29:14] anybody asks, the reason there's a hole in the middle of this thing is it's because it's a really fancy mug that would make a great Christmas present for any family member. Okay, I should salvage this because the ore buyer just
[29:28] showed up and bloody hell, he likes the decorative mug. Okay, we are no longer bankrupt. That is less money than I spent on that thing. So, okay, I did just like, you know, throw away 150 odd gold and he doesn't like that cuz I did
[29:44] gold and he doesn't like that cuz I did smash it to get the bell. That's true. minimum he'll buy basic on white gems. And speaking of which, thank goodness
[29:57] the commission lady has shown up. So, Paradot and Rutal, I know how to identify both of them. So, right, purples and blues in terms of Oh,
[30:10] purples and blues in terms of Oh, faceted gems. I've got faceted gems. The problem being, yeah, I don't have them in the right color. I don't have quite the right stone. jam. This one looks like it might be
[30:25] good for that red stone I made. And the gem grade is too low, right? I need flipping gems. J, I think the crystal munger is already coming. But let's get in a supply line that could get me the paradot I need. Also, John, you forgot
[30:42] to put your bloody relic in the relic, Mcjibler, didn't you? Okay, step one. Here's the guy I asked to show up. So, that's good. Okay, I don't love this, that's good. Okay, I don't love this, but I'm gonna buy for 260 the fine
[30:56] paradot stone. And we're going to be very, very bloody careful with this thing. Get it out by working around it. Do not damage the stone itself cuz yeah,
[31:12] Do not damage the stone itself cuz yeah, once it's all nice and isolated, just finish off the I think I just damaged a tiny bit but not too much. Get you off.
[31:24] tiny bit but not too much. Get you off. Get you off. So, okay. Get you off. So, okay. Pop you down, my friend. Now, take that separator. Let's have a look.
[31:36] take that separator. Let's have a look. breakage 3%. I don't love it, but it's going to have to do. And there we go. This would be good enough to meet that contract, assuming that is. I don't mess it up, which I'm not going to. So,
[31:52] it up, which I'm not going to. So, that's fine. Oh, yeah. Gradea 96%. that's fine. Oh, yeah. Gradea 96%. Lovely. Which will get me a huge bonus Lovely. Which will get me a huge bonus of 164.
[32:06] John, you just spent 240 on the stone that contained it. So, I'm not convinced I'm making smart business decisions here. Okay, I'm taking this one because yeah, I know there's at least one very good quality
[32:21] stone in it. In fact, hang on. If that's Oh, that's quite a big stone actually. Okay, it's not a commission, but this could still be worth a good money to me.
[32:33] could still be worth a good money to me. Oh, and here we flipping go. It's taken me several days, but I think I might actually have made a sensible purchase actually have made a sensible purchase on this occasion. We have got access to
[32:46] on this occasion. We have got access to two separate superb appetites and also an aquamarine as well. So, yeah, those could either be worked or sold separately, though. Gosh darn it, it's not blue enough to count as blue for the
[32:59] blue or purple commission. bare minimum though. That was a bit crude. That aquamarine we got out of Yeah. the lovely sexy rock. That is officially a precious crystal. So, okay, just work on that. Get everything perfect. I'm pretty
[33:16] that. Get everything perfect. I'm pretty good on the timings these days. Oh yeah, good on the timings these days. Oh yeah, 98%. I'll take that. And that gets me 98%. I'll take that. And that gets me 200 gold. Good, good, good, good. which
[33:28] is important because you know nice sexy man has just shown up with gosh darn it I can't afford the bloody mysterious Wait hang on hang on
[33:40] technically am I allowed to take a photo of something I don't own cuz that stays on the bench but I do have my toolbox here so gosh darn it I'm not allowed to photograph something until I own it okay
[33:55] but he is selling a stone with a superb But dusk stone in it and dusk stone can But dusk stone in it and dusk stone can be faceted and it's definitely bluey be faceted and it's definitely bluey purple. Right, I'm having that. And
[34:09] speaking of which, okay, this might also have been a good purchase because that's not just dusk stones. There's three or even four flipping gems inside here and even four flipping gems inside here and a relic, too. So, just to grab the bell
[34:25] out here cuz that's a little bit more fragile. Lovely. Got so many bells these days. I should remember to put them into my museum. So, okay. All of a sudden, I am swimming in basic gems.
[34:40] basic gems. I would love to facet you, good sir. Just to make sure this is Yeah, that's perfectly acceptable. And with that, we perfectly acceptable. And with that, we can Oh, bloody hell. Finally.
[34:52] I've actually made something good. Okay, find a good jammer. Cut it carefully. Don't whack it with a hammer and you can make some real damn money. Speaking of
[35:04] which, yes, I'm having a creepy mushroom rock cuz honestly, I just kind of want to photograph it. And better and better, I found something that's not a haunted bell. It's a haunted gimbal instead.
[35:18] Marvelous. Also, I can't help but notice if rather than picking the haunted mushroom, just whack it, my going insane meter appears to be my going insane meter appears to be rising just out of interest if I Oh. Oh,
[35:32] there we go. There we flippy go. More often than not, doing this ends in disaster. Well, this is fascinating. Honestly, I don't care about going insane. More commissions have just arrived. So, quartzes, precious
[35:46] crystals, basic jadeite materials, all commissions are super easy. Oh, yeah. I could sell you the superb appetite straight away. Oh. Oh, now we're getting thing. Oh, and flip me, even more commissions just came in. Okay. Well,
[36:03] this is just a marvelously good day for me. So, uh, right, right, right, right. I will take literally I'm only allowed to take so many read them before just randomly clicking deliver. But yeah, we just need a yellow
[36:17] or orange gem. And again, a routal or paradot. Now that that we might be able to work with. I've probably got some of that ready to go.
[36:29] Spot on. I've literally got fine paradot right here ready to be faceted. Okay, John. Do you remember how you said a second ago, make sure you actually read pushing buttons? Apparently, she requested a specific
[36:42] Apparently, she requested a specific cut, the point cut, and I just didn't do that. I just did a different cut instead. And my other paradox are yeah, too low quality to actually uh use for this. So,
[36:59] John, seriously, read the bloody thing first. And don't forget, John, relics. Let's put some relics on display. So, or sale price up 15%.
[37:12] Right. Put you in there cuz I'm pretty sure I've also got Oh, yeah. I can unlock another display case and put the other thing in. So, all of a sudden, I'm making a lot more money from my OS going forwards. Also, I can't
[37:29] help but notice my cat's definitely changed color, hasn't it? Yes. Yes, my cat has changed color. Okay, I may have gone a tiny tiny bit bananas. I'm just going to go to bed and tomorrow
[37:45] I'm going to be less insane. There we go. My cat's the right color again. Also, I need to come up with um yeah, a granding cash by tomorrow. And before we
[37:57] start buying, yeah, what I need really is rootile cuz rootiles are yellow. So yeah, if I get two decent root tiles, that would meet two of my commissions. that would meet two of my commissions. And anything jadeike as well. And hello,
[38:12] sexy. There's fine paradox, which I potentially might need. This thing has also got, hang on, hang on, hang on. Emeralds. Those have got to be valuable, though.
[38:27] On the other hand, hang on. We've also got a routile right here. That's crude routtile and something mysterious that we could take a photo of. So, the fact there's perfect routtile in this thing means yeah, I'm having that straight
[38:42] away. Right, take a photo of you cuz there's something weird going on here. there's something weird going on here. Then, very carefully, remove the Sorry, my things have broken. Just need to fix them. As I was saying, just pull these
[38:59] them. As I was saying, just pull these out ideally without going insane and then very carefully remove the root tile. Fortunately, yeah, it's all crude root tile with the exception of this perfect one of the crruits though. Yeah,
[39:15] the square one is the biggest and also best condition. So, if I take that good best condition. So, if I take that good quality one, a J, make that a point cut, that should make good money. The other one, it simply doesn't matter. Literally
[39:29] anything though. Oh, hang on. Minimum net weight. That could be an issue. Never mind. This thing weighs 27 g. That's a lot,
[39:41] thing weighs 27 g. That's a lot, actually. So, take the good one. Yep, that's fine. Make sure we go for flipping point cut. There we go. And okay, that's the simplest, cheapest one, unfortunately. But it's what the client
[39:56] wants, so it's what we're doing. And yeah, one assumes this is going to be worth very good money if I nail it. And also, this is going to be relatively easy to do. Yeah, this is much easier because it's a
[40:08] this is much easier because it's a simpler cut. But that was flawless. Now, as for the other one, we just need to make sure that yeah, whatever we do, make sure that yeah, whatever we do, we're left with at least 4 g. 11 g.
[40:20] Absolutely fine. Okay, if I've got this right. Yeah. Send you over the perfect one for you. 190 gold. I don't love it, but you know, it's better than nothing cuz we can also send the other one for Yeah. 150 right
[40:36] now. The issue is I did say I need a,000 by the end of today. I feel like I'm spending your money very fast right now. Okay, but I'm taking this because it's literally got emeralds in it. You've got to be able to make money off emeralds.
[40:51] Oh, and better and better. It's got a tiny baby inside it, too. So, I do need to upgrade the rest of my tools, but I do not dare do that today. Okay, I'm going to have my legs broken tomorrow if I spend too much money on tools.
[41:05] are made out of like cheese or something. They break at the drop of a cooking hat. And right, that's officially a clay puppet. So, okay, I've removed those emeralds. Now, I just need to find somebody who wants to buy them.
[41:21] to find somebody who wants to buy them. Oh, and hello, sexy. A relic buyer, you say? Okay. The clay poet is worth a bit of money. And honestly, that doesn't do much. And the bronze bell is hardly
[41:34] spectacular either. So, I'm selling both of them. I feel like I need the money right now. Oh, and perfect timing. The jade among just showed up. I need some jade ore to complete yeah, my last flipping thing,
[41:50] but I'd rather not pay too much for it. And yeah, I want to find something that looks, you know, pretty bloody full of various bits and pieces. Now, this looks about right. Decent size and it's full of something. Presumably jade is this
[42:06] guy, the jade salesman. This one, however, is even cheaper. Comes with evil plants. Might have even more pale teal inside. So, right, that's the one for me. So, okay, crack this open.
[42:20] And there's some fine turquoise. Spot on. In fact, actually, potentially quite a bit of turquoise. So, okay, separate that out. It's a good weight, but yeah, have to take a bit of damage while I was working on it. So,
[42:36] ship that off. See how much money we can make cuz I did just pay like 180 for in. So, bloody cocking hell. It turns out I'm a genius at Evil Gems. Meaning the following morning and today's the day.
[42:53] Oh, good sir. Welcome to my store and thank you for your investment because let's just say it very much paid off for me. And you know what? I'll even toss a bit of extra money your way buying your cheapest book, giving me all the poke
[43:09] points I need to make even more flipping money. Still, I would saving a finally turn to my failing a haunted gem business around. How about we wrap things up there? This here is Abyssal Lapidary. And you know what? I am bloody
[43:27] impressed because one, this is just a demo. You could go and play this for free right now. And I've been playing this for hours and it feels like there is a lot to get your teeth into here. But even beyond that, I'm just impressed
[43:40] with the game in general. As a gem crafting gamer, it's incredibly tactile. And as a business gamer, there's a lot of depth as well. Like, you know what? You've got to be very careful with your purchases if you want to make a profits.
[43:53] And what I'm most impressed by is actually the horror, which is it's very on the subdued side. It's just a bit of a creepy atmosphere. The game's got a lot of restraint to it. So, oh yeah, when this comes out in full, it doesn't
[44:07] as I'm aware. This could be one to watch. So, yes, indeed. Whenever this does actually release, I would not be surprised if we were to visit it again. So hopefully you're looking forward to that. But in the meantime, I've been
[44:21] Jonas has been many a true nurse. This has been the delightful Abyssal Lapidary. Thank you very much and goodbye. Now I kind of want to see if I can shoot something out of midair. So
[44:36] it turns out I'm a genius at guns. Why is it beeping? What What's beeping? Oh my health, cuz I'm about to die. Everything's fine. you'd stay the flip down. I wasn't emotionally ready for any of this.
