Gem Changes – New Tier and Gem Effect Changes

More changes to the game to digest and this time it’s gems.


Gems Storage

As you know everything is changing in patch 2.0 and that includes gems. Blizzard unfortunately missed adding gems to the notes so here are the Gem Changes.

  • The drop quantity of Gem Fragments now increases as you ascend Difficulties.
  • New Gem Tier: Grand
    • Requires 100,000 gem fragments to craft.
    • Grand provides a 50% increase in power from the previous tier, Royal.
  • Some Gem effects have been reworked
    • Ruby armor effect changed from % Max Life to + Strength.
    • Amethyst armor effect changed from +Strength to +% Barrier Generation.
    • Diamond armor effect changed from +% Barrier Generation to + All Stats.
  • Many Gem stat bonuses have been adjusted to better reflect Patch 2.0 numbers.
  • Gem stat updates, starting with Chipped, ending with Grand:
    • Ruby (+ Strength), Emerald (+ Dexterity), Topaz (+ Intelligence), Sapphire (+ Willpower): +25/50/75/100/150.
    • Amethyst (+% Barrier Generation): +2/4/6/8/12.
    • Diamond (+ All Stats): +8/16/24/32/50.
    • Skull (+% Healing Received): +4/6/8/10/15.

Are gems stored in the inventory now or is it just new crafting recipes?
