Relics grant players unique perks that greatly impact Vampire Crawlers, whether that's by unlocking new buildings, adding useful info to their UI, or introducing brand-new gameplay mechanics.

It is with a relic that players will be able to add the jeweler upgrade to their village. To unlock the jeweler in Vampire Crawlers, gamers will need to collect the Lapidary Loupe relic, which can only be obtained in Gallo Tower. This is a Difficulty 6 stage that becomes available once players have completed Weeny Bridge.

Once they've obtained the Lapidary Loupe relic, players will be able to access the jeweler by visiting the Blacksmith building in the village.

How to Use the Jeweler in Vampire Crawlers

What Is the Jeweler in Vampire Crawlers?

Players can increase or decrease gem rarity at the jeweler. Players will want to adjust gem rarity according to their preferences, but there are a few factors that they should take into consideration before putting their money into it, as they will not get any refunds during this process.

Gamers can decrease gem rarity in order to make certain gems appear more often. However, if their Luck stat goes up, they will be less likely to come across low-rarity gems. Therefore, they will need to consider whether they will invest in luck or not for their strategy.

Additionally, Ultra Rare gems (the highest rarity) can be sealed, which prevents them from spawning at all. However, players will need 5,665 coins to seal a gem, plus the coins to get it from its original rarity to Ultra Rare rarity. Therefore, in order to have the player's favorite gems spawn more frequently and allow them to come up with a strategy, they will have to invest thousands of coins.
