![]() (Will occasionally drop in Master+ difficulty.).See the Gems archive article for info about upgrade costs in earlier versions of Diablo 3.It's much cheaper to make the highest level gems in Reaper of Souls than it was to make them in Diablo 3 vanilla, though the number of gems is the same, with 2 > 1 until Flawless Square and 3 > 1 at all levels above that. The entire system received an overhaul for D3v2, with much lower gold costs and an almost total removal of material components. Gem upgrade costs have been tweaked several times. Gem removal prices, per gem, as of that patch: The costs to remove gems have been tweaked repeatedly, and costs were considerably lowered for high end gems in Reaper of Souls in Patch 2.0.5. Gems cost gold to remove from items, or can be removed for free by salvaging, which destroys the item but not the gem(s). Gems in RoS can be upgraded to rank 19, Flawless Royal quality. Reaper of Souls ups the gem quality considerably, and while nothing changes from level 1-60, level 61 targets (monsters, chests, objects, treasure goblins, etc) drop rank 15 Marquise gems, with a chance for Rank 16 Imperial gems to drop on Master or higher difficulty. (Upgrading all the way to a Marquise gem in D3v2 requires a total investment of 9,280,000 gold and 2143 Flawless Square gems.) In Diablo 3 Gems can be upgraded all the way to rank 15, the Marquise, though this is a very long and expensive process, especially in D3v2 with no more Auction House. There were more low level gems prior to 2.3, and in total there were a total of 19 tiers of gem compared to the current 13.Ĭhipped gems drop starting around level 15, with the next highest quality gem beginning to fall about every 6th level higher, culminating in the Flawless Square, which drops from enemies around level 55-60. Upgrade, or rarely drops from lvl 61+ on Master+ difficulty. Marquise gem - Upgrade only in D3: Drops lvl 61+ in Reaper of Souls.).It appears that the new gems drop in each bracket of ten levels starting from around level 20 (possibly including levels 15-19 in the lowest category), with Perfect Square dropping from 50-60. These irregularities were eliminated in the Loot 2.0 version of those legendaries.Ī full list of gems by ascending rank. In D3v Ice Climbers boots and Tasker and Theo gloves had a socket in item slots that can not otherwise have sockets, and the Manticore crossbow could spawn with two sockets.1 socket: Rings, Amulets, Shields, Mojos, Sources, and Quivers.Weapons can only ever have 1 socket in Loot 2.0, though the Manticore crossbow sometimes rolled 2 sockets in Diablo 3 vanilla.Ī socket in a helm is also very desired, and usually used to obtain + EXP% from a Ruby, + Life% from an Amethyst, or Reduced cooldown from a Diamond.Īll other items with a socket are considered "other" in terms of the bonuses they provide, (+to a single stat or All Res from a diamond) and these include:.Rubies for +damage, or Diamonds for +Elite damage are less popular. In weapon sockets, players generally socket Emeralds for Critical hit Damage. Sockets begin to appear in items around level 15 (a few legendary helms can have a socket at level 10-15), and in the end game a socket is considered all-but-mandatory in weapons. ![]() The bonuses from gems are quite powerful, and a primary affix that adds socket(s) to an item is one of the most desired item properties. They can be upgraded repeatedly and will only fit into sockets in rings and amulets. Legendary Gems were added to the game in Patch 2.1. See the Diablo 2 Gems page for details on that game's seven types of gems.See the Gems Archive for details about gems from D3's development and for the different properties and costs from Diablo 3 vanilla.Socketed gems have no effect on the level requirement of an item, and and are thus one of the most useful twinks to boost the gear quality of a lower level character. The Jeweler can remove gems from sockets, for a gold fee, in D3 and RoS. Only the Mystic, added in Reaper of Souls, can potentially add sockets via enchanting an affix. Items in several slots can spawn with one or more sockets, but there is no way to add additional sockets in Diablo 3. Gems can be upgraded in rank by the Jeweler for a fee of gold and materials. At least one and often several gems drop from special targets, such as Resplendent chests, Treasure Goblins, Horadric Caches, etc. Gems drop randomly from every sort of target monsters, Elites, chests, barrels, etc. The bonuses provided by gems increase with the rank of the gem and become quite substantial at the highest ranks. There are five types of gems in Diablo III Amethysts, Diamonds (added in D3v2), Emeralds, Rubies and Topazes. Gems are small objects that grant bonuses when socketed into items.
