For example :
Hand in 5 t4 gems and get 1 random t5 gem
Or hand in 5 t4 Melee gems get 1 t5 Melee gem

OLD Subject
Disenchanting/ Enchanting Gems
It would be nice if you could disenchant and enchant gems.
If you had Majerio disenchant a gem, it would become a Blank Gem. Ex: a Tier 3 Yellow Haste Gem is disenchanted to become a Tier 3 Yellow Blank Gem. You could also find Tier 3 Blank Gems as Quest Rewards
If you gave Majerio 2 Yellow Blank Gems, he could give you 1 enchanted Yellow Gem of your choosing. Ex: if you had 4 Tier 3 Red Max Health Gems, you could get 4 Tier 3 Red Blank Gems and then 2 Tier 3 Red Magic Gems.
Rainbow Gems could be found as Quest Rewards and enchanted to any of the 9 normal gems.
MY PERSONAL OPINION
When v1.3 came out, I bought 20 Tier 2 Red Max Health Gems. Later I spent gold shields and got 4 Tier 3 Red Max Health Gems. Currently I am only using 2 Tier 3 Red Max Health Gems. It is nice to get silver pieces from Majerio for found gems, but it is frustrating to spend real world money or millions in silver pieces on gems and change your mind.
The more complex Book of Heroes becomes, the more difficult it is to discover what kind of strategy you like. The advent of Valor is a significant change, since you cannot use real world money to buy valor. You must use the Alchemist Lockbox or Raid. But Soldier Valor and Knight Valor purchase Tier 3 & Tier 4 Gems.
I actually wish each location only had two Gem Slots and Gems were twice as powerful. Currently there are 783,820,800,000 possible combinations (216,000 from colored gem slots alone). 5 of each color gem slot would reduce this to 48,988,800,000 possible combinations (27,000 from colored gem slots alone).
