LEGO Fortnite Odysseyis a wild adventure, whiskingFortniteplayers to a whole other world where they can build and craft anything they desire. From the cold regions of the Frostlands to the fantastical Lost Isles, there is a lot for players to uncover in this sandbox experience. However, there are also a lot of threats, calling for players toget their hands on powerful weapons and gear.
The world ofLEGO Fortnite Odysseyis a tough one, and if players want to survive, they may very well need to collect Gems to improve their weapon rarities. WhileRubies are a rather lucrative resource, perhaps Emeralds may be more to a player’s liking. Here ishow to get Emeralds inLEGO Fortnite Odyssey.
How To Get Rough Emeralds
While in previous updates players had to explore Desert Caves to get their hands on Rough Emerald, Emeralds now exclusively reside on the Lost Isles. Emeralds can befound on Floating Islandsand can also belocated in Lost Isle Grottos.
Neither location requires players toraise their heat resistance to enter, making them a great place to head to for early-game gems. However, these locations may have players facing either a Golem or a Brute, so players should still be cautious when exploring either one.
When exploring either location, players should keep an eye out for green Emerald nodes, which are fairly prevalent in both areas. To get Rough Emerald, players simply need toharvest Emerald nodes with a Pickaxe of Rare rarityor higher. Breaking these nodes will yield plenty of Rough Emeralds, ready for players to take back to their Village to convert to Cut Emeralds.
How To Get Cut Emeralds
Once players have gotten their hands on Rough Emeralds, they canconvert them into Cut Emeralds via the Gem Cutter.Witha Gem Cutter built, players can simply interact with it and select the Cut Emerald recipe via its interface. One Rough Emerald is needed to craft one Cut Emerald, making it relatively easy for players to gauge how much they’ll need to harvest to fulfill a particular recipe.
What Are Cut Emeralds Used For?
Cut Emeralds are a crafting recipe primarily used tomake Epic rarity weapons via the Crafting Bench.If players apply Cut Emeralds to the blade/head/stock of their desired weapon or toolvia the Crafting Bench, they can bag themselves an Epic rarity version of that very weapon. Cut Emeralds are alsoused for Gem Shields and Gem Flint-Knock/Muskets, each of which are also Epic rarity weapons and tools.
In terms of usefulness, Cut Emeralds are an excellent way for players looking to get their hands on upgraded gear. Tools made with Cut Emeralds havethe same durability as those crafted with Cut Ruby,but boast better knockback at the cost of less speed. However, Amber weapons rank higher when it comes to durability alone.
