For Expansion players, Gems still play an important role in leveling gear or in items that cannot accept Runewords.

This guide will show you how to enhance your gear with Gems, as well as how to remove unwanted Gems and upgrade Gems.įor Classic players (those choosing not to play with the Lord of Destruction (LoD) expansion), Gems are the only items that fit into item sockets, as Jewels and Runes are only available within the expansion. They are also important reagents in several Horadric Cube recipes.

Gems are small items you can insert into sockets in Chest Armor, Head Armor, Shields, and Weapons, to give extra bonuses. As you level in game, you will come across Gems, which drop off mobs, are found in containers, and can be rewards for certain in-game quests.
