Learn how to craft and unsocket gems in diablo iv. Unlock the Jeweler at Lv20 and use services like adding sockets with Scattered Prisms.
Walkthrough
- 1To unlock the Jeweler, reach Level 20. You will receive a tutorial quest called Gem Crafting, which simply requires you to talk to Kratia, the Jeweler found on the northwestern edge of Kyovashad. As you progress, you will find other Jewelers in different towns, all offering similar services.
- 2The Jeweler allows you to Craft Gems by combining lower-grade gems and paying a gold fee. Navigate to the “Craft Gems” tab at any Jeweler.
- 3To craft gems, ensure all gems are of the same type and grade (e.g., all Chipped Emeralds). You need a sufficient quantity of lower-grade gems and the required gold. For example, three Chipped Rubies and 4,500 gold will yield one Crude Ruby. Higher-tier gems provide enhanced bonuses, but the type of bonus remains consistent.
- 4To Remove Gems from gear, visit the Jeweler and pay a gold fee. This allows you to transfer socketed gems to newer or better equipment.
- 5To Add Sockets to gear that does not have any, you need a Scattered Prism. This is a rare drop obtained from World Bosses and should be used on high-level gear with endgame utility.
- 6The Jeweler can also Upgrade Jewelry (rings and amulets). This process is similar to upgrading gear at the Blacksmith, requiring resources and gold. The cost increases with each subsequent upgrade of a single jewelry piece.
Tips
- Focus on upgrading gear that you expect to use for a long time, especially when adding sockets with rare Scattered Prisms.
- Higher-tier gems offer better stat boosts, so prioritize crafting them for your best equipment.
- Jewelers are found in most major towns, making their services accessible as you explore.
