Tear Blood Gem ❘ 涙の血晶石	Unique Blood Gem

In-Game Description A blood gem that fortifies weapons and adds various properties. Droplet blood gems are special gems that adapt to various weapons and shapes. Created from a shining silver doll tear, this blood gem is a quiet but unfaltering friend that continually restores HP, the life essence of a hunter. Perhaps the doll's creator had wished for just such a friend, albeit in vain. Note: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓ Overview In order to attach gems to your weapons, you'll need three things. First, you'll need a gem. Second, you'll need a weapon that can equip a gem; this means you'll need to upgrade your weapon to unlock gem slots. Finally, you'll need the Blood Gem Workshop Tool. It can be obtained just before entering Oedon Chapel in Central Yharnam. With those elements in place, you can attach gems to your weapon by approaching the workbench in the Hunter's Dream and selecting "Blood Gem Fortification." Right-hand weapons can have up to three gem slots, and some left-hand weapons have one slot. There are different slot shapes, though; not every gem will fit every slot. The slot types are: Radial, Triangular, Waning, and Circle. Your gem's shape needs to match the slot you want to use it in. If you find a really great gem but the shape doesn't properly match your weapon, don't give up hope. There are actually two alternate versions of every right-hand weapon - the Lost and Uncanny versions. They're identical to normal weapons except that they have different slot configurations. These alternate weapons can be found in Chalice Dungeons. There is also an exceedingly rare fifth type of gem shape - Droplet gems. These are "almighty" gems; they can fit in any type of gem slot! Most Blood Gems are randomly generated when they appear, but there are some preset gems, and even a rare few that you create by using unique items you may acquire. Tear Blood Gem is one of the Unique Blood Gems. Effects It's a useful gem, and worth equipping to your sidearm if it has a gem slot, at least until late in the game when you begin to find powerful Circle-shaped Blood Gems. It is essentially the same as the Pulsing effect in standard blood gems which will restore a few points of your HP each second. This effect will stack if you have it on your left-hand weapon and your right-hand weapon. This is a passive, defensive effect. It won't help your damage output, it can keep you alive. There are tons of special situations in which you might use it, as well. In a poison swamp, you can use this to limit how often you need to heal the poison damage. If you use the transformed Chikage, this can help to offset the health drain. If you're running low on your stock of Blood Vials, you can use this to heal so that you can save up. Having this on a back-up firearm is very good. You can use your main firearm for damage and only swap when you need the HP regain. Testing: Continuous heal will trigger every time you take any damage and will recover until you reach back the full HP. Gem effect heals 2 HP every 90 frames, making it +2 HP every 3 seconds (30 frames/s); +40 HP every minute. Availability Acquired by: giving the Small Hair Ornament to Doll. She'll give you the Tear Stone, which produces this gem when you use it. Notes Tear Blood Gem had higher value of the primary effect in unpatched 1.00 version of the game, +3.2 instead of +2 in current 1.09 patch. This gem is basically unique version of Pulsing Blood Gem which can be found, for example, as treasure in Research Hall, 2nd Floor Grand Cathedral - Ceiling platform (triangle, HP continues to recover +4).
