There are six types of gems, plus skulls, which are considered by the game to be gems for all purposes: They were introduced to showcase the socketing system, which was expanded in the Lord of Destruction with the introduction of Runes and Jewels. The skulls of some demonic creatures, inscribed with eldritch symbols, are said to work much like gems. Once inserted, gems cannot be removed from a socket, although they can be destroyed via a Horadric Cube recipe.
Vendors also will not typically pay you full price for socketed items. Vendors do not normally sell gems, though if another player in a multiplayer game sells a gem to a vendor, you may be able to buy it. They can only be obtained by killing monsters, opening chests or using a Gem Shrine with no other gem in your inventory. The first gem that is placed will determine the color of the weapon. If you place 3 gems of the same type in a sword, you will receive the bonus of all three. Higher grades of gems have stronger effects. When set into a socketed item, these gems can add powerful magic effects. These precious stones embody innate magical abilities. Gem upgrade chances, for all we know, are fixed numbers and not "rounded", 100% means 100% and 0% means 0%.Gems are a type of socketable item found in Diablo II, its expansion, and Diablo III. Those two bugs remain isolated incidents and might just have been bugs, like sometimes Death's Breath not dropping or so. I remember instances of people reporting 100% fails and it turned out to be a reading comprehension issue (they thought that a GR35 is supposed to give them a 100% upgrade chance on their rank 35 gem for some reason). I found two (2!) bug reports about this happening, no bluepost/answer/confirmation, no proof. I'm 99% confident to say your claim is wrong, not sure where you got that from.Įdit: Did some research. And if 0% upgrades were possible we'd see 100+ ranks on Asia already. I have never failed a 100%, i have never heard of anyone of my friends, clan mates, or streamers fail a 100%. That's a sample size of about 2500 on 100% upgrades. I have upgraded close to 50 gems to rank 50 or higher on non-season in S1/S2/S3 (I need a goal in GRs, so upgrading the 7th backup Bane of the Trapped helps me get through it). This is why few players failed to upgrade gem at 100%. The problem is that those values are never 0 and 100 but very close to them. There is a chance to upgrade 0% and to fail at 100%.
