How am I able to remove my Level 4 Obsidian?

Don't you get it steve?

When the jewel is on the equipment, you can upgrade it w/o removing the jewels.

When you remove a level 4 or higher jewel, you get charged gems to do so.

A curse? no not at all. it makes you decide whether to use the gems now, or wait and accumulate 5 of them to merge into a higher one and use them later.

Yes I think there should be a warning prior to placing the level 4+ jewels. I got stung 200 gems trying it out on different heroes before I realised. Not good business practice. A bit like free entry but you have to pay to get out.

Can some one please tell me what the highest lvl on jewels are ? I WONT pay for removing jewels, so for now i just have to embed lvl 3 jewels, and then merge the rest until i get highest lvl.. Luckily i have only "ruined" a few items with lvl 4 jewels, so it will be easy to start over.

I have never seen a jewel higher than 7

Hard to tell if this is because 7 is the highest level of jewel or if it is just insanely difficult to amass 5 lvl 7 jewels to merge since this kind of system with jewel merging makes it exponentially harder to power up through gemming. There could potentially be no lvl cap on gems but just being very difficult go beyond a certain point

highest jewel is lv15 but its impossible to reach it your better of aiming for lv5 or 6 to put in your gear

no you dont have to pay any gems at all....just clik on the gem itself in the slot and a window will pop up asking to accept the removal or decline...this is the way u can merge and embed larger gems.

I do not understand. Are you saying that if I decline the higher level gem will replace the lower level one and you loose the lower level one?
