Wonder Why

The Refined Purple Gem is an Eye craftable only by Wonder Why in the Wonder Why Filter, Refined Materials Filter and Magic Filter. It requires 5% durability of a Broken Ancient Crank and 1 Purple Gem to craft, and an Ancient Jewel Grindstone to make. Like all items from the Grindstone Tab, Refined Purple Gems cannot be prototyped and Wonder Why always needs to be near an Ancient Jewel Grindstone to craft them again.

Characters that aren't Wonder Why can give it the use of crushing it at the Terra Firma Tamper or at the Ancient Jewel Disposer.

Prototype.png Tips

  • Because the names of refined gems are long, the community often shortens Refined Purple Gem as "R.Purple Gem" or "Purple Eye".
  • Wonder Why most of the time will be at high sanity so the Refined Purple Gem can be used to farm your needed Nightmare Fuel.
  • The Refined Purple Gem can be used to have low lunacy.
  • If you don't have the Ancient Discordant Rod or you simply don't want to use 5 sanity per Telepoof you can use this Eye to pass the Obelisks of the Atrium
