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.
There are currently 22 different skill gems and 0 support gems in the game, for a total of 22.
Skill gems
Skill gems can be socketed to the skill to gain an active skill which can be assigned on the player's keybinds. Up to 9 skill gems can be bound simultaneously by default; items or passive skills may also grant additional skills.
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 leveled up.
When creating a skill gem 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 File:Uncut Skill Gem inventory icon.pngUncut Skill GemUncut Skill GemCreates a Skill Gem or Level an existing gem to Level #Right Click to engrave a Skill Gem.File:Uncut Skill Gem inventory icon.png up to its maximum level, typically Level 20.
Meta gems
Meta gems are skill gems which often have a support component and require other skill gems to be linked to it to function. These will often trigger other gems.
Support gems
Support gems can be socketed into individual skills; these modify the effects of the supported skill. Each support gem increases the attribute requirements of the skill by a fixed value per support gem.
The number of total support gems you can equip for each attribute alignment is determined by your character's attributes. Additionally, each support gem can only be equipped once across all of the character's skills - duplicates of the same support gem cannot be equipped. Each skill provides recommendations on synergistic support gems.
