Whenever you craft an equipment, there's a small chance of gaining one or more perks in the process. There's also a chance of getting an item with an empty socket for a gemstone.
While the outcomes of crafting are random, you can increase your chances and ensure the nature of the perk you want to have by adding Azoth and special resources in the crafting process.
Special resources are rare, but you can get them from high level gathering nodes and enemies. Increasing your character's luck will also help in gathering these. Combining special resources with the max amount of Azoth can yield better results, but it's still a gamble.
Gemstones can be crafted using the Stonecutting profession and can be found when mining stones or ores. A weapon or armor with a gem slot can be equipped with a gemstone to add its perk to the gear.
Note: Gemstone effects can differ depending on where you put it. Slotting gemstones inside weapons activates its offensive enhancement, while armor gem slots grant defensive effects.
Perks refer to the special traits or effects of items in New World. They give enhancements and bonuses such as increased weapon damage, cooldown reductions, extra damage against specific enemies, and many other buffs and debuffs that either improves your resistance or decreases the enemy's.
