- steal the Black Gems from Monsters who live in Ruins;
- buy the Black Gems for in-game Gold at the Auction that is located in the Market building.

The Black Gems can't be stolen from players.

The attacker used the reward "Chance of damaging buildings +100%" and put on an artefact +60%. The final chance of destruction is -75-60 + 100 + 60 = +25%. Example 2: the service is -200% in the domain, the attacker has put on and artefact +60%. The total chance is -200 + 60 = -140, but since the maximum value (limit) is -90%, the final chance is -90%.
