So i waste a ton of gems to upgrade my gear and what do i come to find out? GEMS DONT DO CRAP!!!!

They don't increase production rate or decrease build time on pol heroes. They don't reduce training time with attack heroes. And lastly they don't reduce research time with intel heroes...

So are gems supposed to be like prestige and make you look big and bad while doing nothing?

What's the deal with this evony?
Gems allow you to add stars to your gear. The higher level the gear, the more impact the stars have. Here is a table.

I would suggest you save all your gems until you have your gear leveled up to 10 and use gems as the final touch to give you that little extra bump.
