Emerald



Emerald is an ore in the game. It was added in the Emeralds Update.

An Emerald Chest can be bought normally for 1,000 coins (as of 31 August 2020), and it yields 12 emeralds and 3 Gold Ores


 * Raw emeralds drop from Sheldon.
 * Raw emeralds drop from Sheldon.

Appearance
It has the appearance of a green rock-shaped mineral. Its model has been changed in newer versions, looking like a green cube.

Obtaining
Emerald can be obtained from Treasure Chests (Which spawn in the shipwreck event and drop 4-6 emeralds).

The only way as of now to obtain Emeralds is to purchase an Emerald Chest in the shop for coins, or by killing other players. After update C1.6, there were new sky islands added above the spikes in the mesa and treasure chests were revived. They contained many emerald crags with 1600 health that drop raw emeralds, so this can also be used to get emeralds.

Usage
Emeralds can be used to craft Emerald Armor, the Emerald Blade and more tools. In Booga Booga Hybrid, it allowed you to make Emerald Walls. Raw emeralds in C1.6 and C1.7 have much less value than items such as steel since they have to be smelted anyway, and their only use is to make armor and tools that are worse than steel.

Trivia

 * The Emerald was released in The Emerald Update.
 * It is arguable whether or not emerald is actually the hardest to obtain ore in the game.
 * It was once the biggest ore in the game being approximately 75% bigger than raw magnetite and 125% - 150% bigger than normal raw ores such as iron, steel, crystal, and coal. Its size was about the same as the old fire hide / normal hides.
 * When Emeralds were released, a glitch appeared with this and the Iron Ore where the health of the ore would be set to 100 and look seriously depleted. However, this was fixed in the 5/17 update.


 * Before update C1.4, Just like Crystal, Emeralds did not need to be smelted in order to craft certain items like armor.
 * Emeralds and their raw equivalents are unobtainable in Booga X.

(Note: All info below may be outdated.)
 * Players can also mine Emerald with bows (Crossbow, Iron Bow, etc.), but as to the v C1.42 update, far range mechanics don't work.
 * There used to be 3 Emerald Rocks in the cave of the Miserable God and each used to give 3 Emeralds each for a total of 9 Emeralds.
 * This allowed server hoppers to easily obtain Emeralds.
 * As of May 17th, 2018, two of the Emerald Rocks have been moved to different locations on the map and each only gives 1 Emerald.
 * The 3 of them were completely removed in the Map Legacy Update.
 * A Magnetite Pickaxe or higher is required to mine Emerald Rock, making it the highest pickaxe requirement in the game, beating the Crystal Guardian.
 * Emerald is the heaviest ore in the game, therefore it is not a good idea to carry too much Emeralds.
 * As of the Legacy Map update on June 9th, 2018, there is currently no emerald ore to mine. Emerald can now only be obtained from treasure in shipwrecks and from Sheldon.
 * Emeralds are the 3th most powerful ore, beaten by void shards, because emerald blade is now a great alternative for a god rock. Gold is very important and players always need it when they're playing the game with rebirths. Players will need gold for almost every advanced god item in the game. The reason emeralds are less used then gold, is because it can only make armor, blade and a emerald bag at the moment with emeralds, while with gold players can interact with a lot more stuff.
