If you are wondering how to fix ‘Gem is not compatible with that item’ Error, unfortunately for now there is no solution for this error because it is a design issue in New World, since it is designed to prevent users from adding an elemental damage gem to a weapon with elemental damage advantage. Simply put, you will not be able to add gems with any elemental damage to a weapon that already has a lightning chain built in.

Instead, you will only be able to attach a gem of the same elemental damage type or the one with non-elemental damage to a weapon with Chain Lightning ability.

With this in mind, in case you don't want to encounter the error message, you should keep in mind that you cannot equip a weapon with chain damage power such as Chain Lightning, Ice, or Shoot to a gem with a different damage type.
