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 Template:Drop enabled gem count different skill gems and Template:Drop enabled gem count support gems in the game, for a total of Template:Drop enabled gem count.

Skill gems

Skill gems can be socketed in gem sockets to grant skills which can be assigned on the player's keybinds. Up to 13 skills can be bound at once.

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

When creating a skill gem by using an uncut gem, it will be engraved at a gem level matching that of the uncut gem.

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 linked gem sockets for each skill gem; 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 gem provides recommendations on synergistic support gems.
