They really just need to get rid of the gems all together. Put in some deeds that once you complete a Tier N delving you unlock Tier N+1. If you want to keep the story of the gems, just make it so now the NPC's trust you to try and fix/evolve/empower (whatever we are doing) with their gems, and will provide you one when you choose the delving tier in the mission. This will get rid of the gems in our inventory, the bartering, and the need remember to click the standing stone twice, or fail the mission.

I get that they were trying to add a story and engaging mechanism with the gems, and I appreciate that they do that, but it just doesn't work. It's time to just rethink the whole thing.
