These will grant you various percentage bonuses depending on which class of gem it falls under.While this achievement is relatively self-explanatory, I'm providing the following tips and information for anyone who has yet to earn it.

Additionally, you can augment each different gear slot with different gems of varying categories that you’ll collect. Each of these gear slots allow you to swap out different items of higher attack, defense, or stealth value, along with each item sometimes containing different bonuses. Gear also makes its return from Shadow of Mordor but this time comes in six different slots: sword, dagger, bow, armor, cape, and ring rune. You can only choose one of these three sub-skills to equip at a time however, which means you’ll have to decide which fits the best given the way you want to play. Almost every skill within the game has three sub-skills that allow you to modify or alter the ability to which it belongs. Specifically, the skill trees that are available to you within the sequel allow for much more customization than in Shadow of Mordor, and let you cater best to how you want to play. I have yet to talk about the new, deeper RPG mechanics, which are one of my favorite aspects of Shadow of War. No two characters looked the same, no lines of dialogue were repeated, and no voice actors sounded the same. If those who have reservations with these elements of the game could come into it realizing that this story is separate from the main canon of the books, then I think there’s great enjoyment to be had. I’m not the biggest Lord of the Rings fan, but I know that there are many out there who might dislike some of the liberties that Monolith Productions took with the lore in Shadow of War. Of course, hardcore Middle-earth fans might have more of love or hate relationship with the story than I did. There are certain flashbacks featuring the Ringwraiths and Sauron that I really adored, but more often than not I was just looking forward to getting back into running around the world. Most of the supporting characters that aid Talion and Celebrimbor are forgettable and the introduction of Shelob as one of the main supporting characters struck me as odd since most of her inclusion in the narrative ends relatively early. Personally, I found the story of Shadow of War to be more interesting than that of Shadow of Mordor, but I still wouldn’t consider it the game’s strength. Major players like the Witch-king made the narrative that much more interesting, while someone like Gollum only seemed to be thrown in this time because of how well-known his character is. The involvement of these characters within the narrative of Shadow of War ranges from being highly important to being being little more than a cameo.

Throughout the course of the campaign you run into a variety of well-known figures from Middle-earth, such as the spider - now taking the form of a woman - Shelob, the Witch-king (along with his Ringwraith followers), and the beguiling Gollum. This premise of building up your own army of Orcs, Uruks, and Olog-Hai is fairly straightforward, but I found it to be satisfactory. In the opening moments of the game, we find Talion and Celebrimbor crafting a new Ring of Power which will allow them to gather their own army and go toe-to-toe with Sauron’s forces. Shadow of War picks up after the events of Mordor with us once again playing as the ranger Talion and the elf lord Celebrimbor who inhabits Talion’s body.
