Amethyst
An Amethyst provides +18 Defense when inserted in shields or off-hands, +6 to Strength in body armor and headgear, and +80 to Attack Rating in weapons.
An Amethyst requires level 12 to use. When you socket an item with an Amethyst, you increase the level requirement to level 12, unless it was already higher.
