Purple brings great power.

Maxwell

A Purple Gem is a Refined item used to craft several Magic items. It requires a Prestihatitator to prototype, and costs 1 Red Gem and 1 Blue Gem to craft.

Purple Gems can be obtained by mining Ancient Statues, destroying Broken Clockworks, opening Ornate Chests, or as a drop from both variants of the Clockwork Bishop. Maxwell also starts out with a Purple Gem in his inventory.

Purple Gems are used to craft the Shadow Manipulator, Bat Bat, Telelocator Staff, and Nightmare Amulet. Three Purple Gems must be installed in a Telelocator Focus before it will function, and they will be consumed when the Telelocator Focus is used.

In the Reign of Giants DLC, the Purple Gem has a 0.01% chance to be dropped by Tumbleweeds.

In the Shipwrecked DLC, fishing with a Trawl Net in Deep Ocean has a small chance to catch a Purple Gem. The chance is higher during Hurricane Season and Dry Season. X Marks the Spot treasure chests occasionally contain a Purple Gem. Additionally, the Slot Machine has a small chance to yield 3 Purple Gems as a possible reward. Purple Gems are used to craft the Howling Conch.

In Hamlet, there is a very low chance for Purple Gems to drop from Hammering A Smashing Pot. They can also be acquired from the End's Well. Purple Gems, unlike other gems, cannot be sold to Bankers.

In Don't Starve Together, there are four ways to farm Purple Gems:

  • The Dragonfly has a chance to drop Purple Gems upon death.
  • Purple Gems can be gathered in the Caves from Cave Holes by using The Lazy Forager. The Ruins can be regenerated by killing the Ancient Fuelweaver, so by killing the boss over and over again the player is able to farm the gems.
  • By killing the Ancient Fuelweaver over and over again the player is able to farm Large Ornate Chests which have a chance to contain Purple Gems.
  • Kill the Red Hounds and Blue Hounds and combine the gems they drop to make Purple Gems.

Purple Gems are required to craft Moon Rock Idols and can be inserted into Cratered Moonrocks to acquire a Purple Moonlens. They can also be used to power Winona's G.E.M.erator.
