Red Jewels

There are 50 Red Jewels to be found in the game. Many of them can be found in chests, but quite a few others are only in very odd locations. About half of them can't be gotten again once you've had your chance! If you're at the end of the game and found out that you're missing some Red Jewels, check out the Downloads section for a save state.

Once you pick up a Red Jewel, you should go into the menu, select it, and use it immediately. It will fly to the Jeweler Gem. Gem looks different in every town. You must talk to him to claim the prizes for collecting the Jewels. Click on a town name to see a screenshot of Gem in each town.
South Cape | Freejia | Angel Village | Watermia | Euro | Dao

Here are the prizes for the Red Jewels:

3 Jewels: Get a herb.
5 Jewels: Your defense is raised by 1.
8 Jewels: Your HP goes up by 1.
12 Jewels: Your strength is raised by 1.
20 Jewels: The power of Will's Psycho Slider attack is raised.
30 Jewels: Freedan's Dark Friar attack gains the ability to split into 4. (If you've drank the Dark Potion in Euro, this will have no effect.)
50 Jewels: Enter Gem's Mansion.
