Gems in Diablo 2
Understands about Gems
- These Gems have the ability to add potent magical powers when fitted into a socketed item.
- Stronger impacts are seen with gems of higher grades. Gems are categorized into five grades: flawless, standard, chipped, and defective.
- Gems cannot be taken out of a socket when they are entered.
- When a gem shrine is touched, a random gem from your character’s inventory is either upgraded to the next higher grade or a new gem is produced.
- It is stated that some demonic creatures’ skulls, engraved with eldritch symbols, function similarly to gems.
Upgrading Gems
A Gem Shrine or the Horadric Cube can be used to upgrade Gems. Gems can be upgraded to higher quality gems by using the Horadric Cube. After inserting three Gems of the same kind into the Horadric Cube, press the Transmute button.
Gem effects Stackable
You will get the bonus of all three Gems if you set three of the same kind in a socketed sword.
