Gems always drop at Rank 0 and can be upgraded by speaking with Urshi. As of patch 2.4.0, the Rank of a gem appears in inventory or any interface panel tied to them. Only gems for which the character does not have access can drop. Gems equipped by or in the inventory of another character do not count. As a rule, a Rift Guardian will drop a randomly-selected gem if and only if a character does not already have access to all Legendary Gems, where access means that the gem is: (1) equipped by the character, (2) in the character's inventory (socketed or not), or (3) in the shared stash (socketed or not). Legendary Gems only drop from Rift Guardians in Greater Rifts (except for Boon of the Hoarder and the Red Soul Shard, which drops only from Greed in the Treasure Realm, and killing the Dark Lord in the Darkening of Tristram event respectively). Like all gems, Legendary Gems are account bound they are also unique equipped. One is unlocked upon dropping, and can be strengthened by upgrading the second is a fixed bonus that is unlocked when the gem is upgraded to Rank 25.Įxcept for two gems, they can only be socketed into Amulets and Rings (the Gem of Ease can only be socketed into a weapon, while the Red Soul Shard can only be socketed into a Helm). Legendary Gems were introduced in patch 2.1 of Diablo III. Each Legendary Gem has two unique powers.
