Red Gems are one of the three different gems that are found in Ark, the others being Blue Gems or Green Gems.
Just like their other gems which became available when Aberration came out, these crimson-colored resources are used for crafting certain items.
One of the most important uses for Red Gems is to craft the Gas Collector, which allows players to farm Congealed Gas Balls.
How to Farm Red Gem?
Red Gems can be obtained similarly to the others gems, by picking them up after a Roll Rat has burrowed or after the quakes occur in Aberration.
It is also possible to find red or purple crystal formations which can be mined for Red Gems using tools or tamed creatures that can mine.
Red Gems may also be found in Valguero (Aberration Zone), Genesis Part 1 as well as in the Crystal Isles, each with different farming methods.
Best Way to Farm Red Gems
One of the best ways to farm Red Gems would be to use a Mining Drill on the different formations (red or purple) to mine a large amount of the resource.
Using an Ankylosaurus will allow you to farm the different crystalline formations in Aberration as well in other maps aside from in Aberration.
Crystal Isles is full of different formations which can be mined and there is also a location called Crookâs Canyon which has a lot of nests from which you can harvest gems from.
