Gem

Gems are a type of item that either grants a skill (skill gem) or modifies a skill (support gem) when placed into a gem socket.

Characters need to meet the skill gem's level and attribute requirements to be able to use it. Level and attribute requirements increase as a skill gem is levelled up; linked support gems also increase attribute requirements by a fixed value per support gem.

There are currently 191 different skill gems and 310 support gems in the game, for a total of 513.

Gem levels

When creating a skill gem by using an uncut gem, it will be engraved at a gem level matching that of the uncut gem. Skill gems can be levelled up further using an Uncut Skill Gem up to its maximum level, typically Level 20.

Support gems do not have gem levels.

Gem levels can also be indirectly increased through certain modifiers on weapons.

Gemcutting is a mechanic involving the creation of skill gems and support gems by using uncut gems. This process is also referred to as engraving. An additional "Equipped Gems" category contains any skill gems that are currently equipped.

Version history

Expand

Version	Changes
0.2.0f	Added an Equipped Gems section to the Gemcutting interface to make levelling up cross-class skill gems more convenient.
0.2.0	Introduced spear category gems. Grim Feast can no longer be engraved in the Gemcutting menu. Existing Grim Feast Gems have been disabled, we aim to rework Grim Feast in the coming future. Skeletal Warrior can no longer be engraved in the Gemcutting menu, as it was only provided as a stop-gap until this functionality was implemented. Existing copies of the Skeletal Warrior skill gem have been turned into Skeletal Sniper gems. The Skeletal Warrior skill granted by some sceptres now allows you to summon additional skeletons by reserving spirit, in addition to the two free skeletons it grants automatically. Shock Siphon can no longer be engraved in the Gemcutting menu. Existing copies of this support will still function.
0.1.0d	Added search functionality for Gemcutting and vendor inventories when using a controller. Keybinds for searching Stash on a controller have also been updated. Added Gemcutting restrictions option for Gamepad.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
