Diablo 3 has a separate type of item - legendary gems. You can insert them only into jewelry (rings, amulets), into the appropriate nest.

All gems can only be randomly dropped in Greater Rifts after defeating their Guardians. After passing through the great portal, the hero will meet Ursha's Nephalem. She can improve the gem, increasing its level and effectiveness.

Equipping your character with the right gems is an important part of the game. Since gems can be crafted at will, and higher tier gems can be used on any character, spending gold on upgrading non-legendary gems is never a waste of time.

1. Gems

Common gemstones come in 5 possible types: Amethysts, Diamonds, Emeralds, Rubies and Topazes. Each of these types of gems gives you different bonuses for different places on your gear.

At level 70, the most basic gems you can find are Marchionesses, such as Marchioness Ruby with marquise cut. You can upgrade these gems to Flawless Royal Ruby. All gem types follow the same upgrade patterns we describe below for Ruby gems.

• 1x Regal Ruby worth 3x Ruby with marquise cut+ 200,000 Gold.
• 1x Flawless Regal Ruby worth 3x Regal Ruby+ 300,000 Gold.1x
• Royal Ruby worth 3x Flawless Regal Ruby+ 1x Shadow of Death+ 400,000 Gold.
• 1x Flawless Royal Ruby costs 3x Royal Ruby+ 1x Shadow of Death+ 500,000 Gold.

This means that to create a single Flawless Royal Ruby, you will need a total of 81x Ruby with marquise cut.4x Shadow of Death and 9,800,000 gold. Royal Gems sometimes drop at level 70, so some of them lower the cost, but Flawless Royal Jewels remain an expensive craft. You also need to find jeweler recipes for these gems, but they usually drop fast from Nephalem Rifts and Bounts.

2. Legendary Gems

Legendary Gems are obtained from Greater Portals. You are guaranteed to get them every time you kill the Great Guardian of the Portal. However, there is an important limitation. If you already have a legendary gem in your inventory, on your gear, or in your wallet, you won't be able to get a second one (unless you save your first gem in another character's inventory).

In practice, this limitation is not a problem, because gems have unique equipment, so you cannot equip the same legendary gem twice, even if you manage to get it twice using the trick mentioned above. The limitation is actually quite handy because it allows you to quickly get your legendary gems without the risk of getting duplicate gems instead of what you really need.

One of the legendary gems, Gift of the Acquisitioner, does not drop from VP, but drops at a special level that you can access by using the yellow portal sometimes left by Goblins or by using a ring.

2.1. Legendary Gem Update

All legendary gems can be upgraded to give them better stats (more powerful effects, to be exact). When you first get a legendary gem, it is level 0 and its level 25 special effect is locked.

Upgrading a Legendary Legendary Stone increases its level by 1 and is something you can do every time you complete the Grand Rift. Each time you defeat the Great Portal Guardian, an NPC named Urshi will appear next to the guardian's body. If you successfully complete the VP, you can improve your stone; if you fail, you simply complete the portal and get experience and gold for it.

Each time Urshi spawns, you can ask to upgrade the gem 3 times so that you can level up that legendary gem up to 3 times, or level 3 different legendary gems once. However, you need to keep in mind that updating legendary gems is not a guarantee. Below are the characteristics of pumping gems and% luck:

• 100%: Greater Portal level greater than or equal to gem level + 10;
• 90%: Higher Portal Level≥ Gem Level + 9;
• 80%: High Portal Level = Gem Level + 8;
• 70%: High Portal Level = Gem Level + 7;
• 60%: Gem Level + 6 ≥ Major Portal Level ≥ 0;
• 30%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 1;
• 15%: Greater Portal Level = Gem Level - 2;
• 8%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 3;
• 4%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 4;
• 2%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 5;
• 1%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 6;
• 0%: High Portal Level ≤ Gem Level - 7.

The most efficient way to get a gem to level 25 and unlock its special effect is to start by farming 9x gem level. Then move on to doing VPs at levels 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, and 37. If you complete runs in that order, you will always have a 100% chance to upgrade your Legendary Gem.

2.2. List of legendary gems

• after the death of elite mobs, you gain increased damage by 20% for 30 seconds. Each boost increases the duration by 1 second. Reaching 25 lvl grants +15% damage against Elites.

Upon reaching rank 25, the gem grants an aura that reduces the movement speed of enemies within 15 yards by 30%. The interesting thing about this gem is that it becomes self-sustaining at rank 25. The slow effect it applies on enemies activates the increase in damage that the gem gives. Before you reach rank 25 with a gem, any build that uses control-influencing effects will greatly benefit from the damage increase. Control-influencing effects are blind, charm, confusion, fear, freeze, immobilize, slow, stun.

• - Dropped by the Goblin King. This special realm can only be reached through the yellow portal that Golden Goblins sometimes leave behind when they die. This portal can only spawn while in adventure mode, and not when completing Nephalem Portals or VPs. The Goblin Realm rewards the player with large amounts of gold (up to several hundred million in T6), gems, and guaranteed legendary resources from the end boss: the baron of greed. The boss uses Goblin Dash, a skill similar to Butcher Dash, only when he hits the target does a treasure goblin appear. If you slow down the boss and kill goblins during the fight, you can get a lot of additional loot. The Acquisitioner's Gift gives you a 25% chance to cause a gold explosion when you kill an enemy. Each upgrade increases this chance by 1.5%. Upon reaching rank 25, you will receive a 30% movement speed increase for 2 seconds after collecting gold.

How to get to the secret cow level in Diablo 3?

Following the principle of the previous recipe, you can open a portal to the Secret Cow Level. In this case, we need Cow Berdysh. This is a legendary weapon that drops from monsters as randomly as the puzzle ring.

Tal Rashi Archive is a recipe for Kanai's Cube that extracts legendary power from a legendary item and allows it to be used through the Cube. This recipe only works on legendary and installed items with the legendary affix (orange text) and it will destroy the element when energy is extracted.

Kull's law is a Kanai cube recipe that recreates a legendary (not given) item. This recipe is the most essential of the costly cube recipes, and is intended to provide long-term financial assistance for players to work on translating a near-perfect example of their favorite legendary item.

Deckard Cain's Hope is a Kanai cube recipe that upgrades a rare item to a legendary or given item of the same type. The element type is key; for example, players who want to obtain the Crucible must use a rare Two-Handed Mace, which will turn into one of the legendary two-handed maces randomly selected.

Mastery of Nilfur is a Kanai Cube recipe that converts a given item into another item from the same set. The roll is completely random, in terms of which another element in the set is created, and the statistics for that element are always different.

Despair Caldesanna- Use legendary gems to pick up an ancient or legendary item with a bonus. This recipe allows players to use legendary gems to raise the bonus on an Ancient or Legendary item.

Cube Usage

In order to use the Cube, players must first obtain it from the Ruins of Secheron in Adventure Mode. Just find it there and click on the cube and it will automatically add to your account. The cube is not a physical item that you see in your inventory and the only way to access it is by clicking on the cube or the Zoltan Kulla standing next to it in the city.

The ingredients for a Recipe cube must be placed inside the cube (drag or right click);
All ingredients must be correct; recipes will not work if they are short ingredients. The extra ingredients will be left in the cube and then returned to you when the UI window is closed.
The stack amounts don't matter; players do not need to insert exactly 50 or 100 stacks. Large stacks are great and the recipe subtracts the required amount from the cubed total stack.
The usability of the cube was not great when it started being tested on the PTR, and players often complained that they had to run to their wallet, pull out the necessary materials, launch onto the cube, insert them, etc.

Extraction of legendary power

This recipe destroys a legendary item and adds its legendary affix to the cube, allowing the character to activate that power through the cube and enjoy it without equipping the item. This can be done on any legendary or given element with a legendary affix (shown in orange text). Only this orange texture is retrieved, not any of the other properties of the element, and the cube always passes the property in the highest possible equivalent.

Tal Rashi Archive

• 1 Legendary item with a legendary affix.
• 1 Khandar Rune
• 1 Caldean Nightlight
• 1 Arreatian Battle Ornament
• 1 Fallen Angel Flesh
• 1 Holy water from Westmarch
• 5 Breath of Death

Reforge a legendary item

This recipe will remake any legendary item, completely resetting all stats, as if the item had just been dropped for the first time. The chances of getting Ancient Items are 1/10.

Kull's law

• 1 legendary item
• 5 Khandar Rune
• 5 Caldean Nightlight
• 5 Arreatian Battle Ornament
• 5 Flesh of a Fallen Angel
• 5 Holy water from Westmarch
• 50 Forgotten Souls

Upgrade rare item

This recipe allows the player to turn any level 70 rare item into a random legendary or set item of the same type. You can use items purchased from vendors or Kadala. Your best bet is to use items that are worth gambling, like amulets, or hunt for certain legendary weapons, like two-handed maces, to try and craft the Crucible.

Hope of Cain

1 Rare item (level 70)
25 Breath of Death
50 Spare Parts (white material)
50 Arcane Dust (Blue Material)
50 Clouded Crystal (yellow material)

Convert Set Item

This recipe changes the given element to another random element from the same set. Intended to help players get that 5th or 6th item to complete the set when they keep finding other items in the set but not the one they want.

This recipe was suppressed when the recipe went live, with a very low material cost of only 10 Tremors of Death and 10 Forgotten Soul. The easiest exploit was to use it on binaries like focus/containment rings, where the item would just swap from one to the other, making it very easy to roll until the perfect item was created. Blizzard promised to change the recipe to stop such a simple re-survey on the first day that PTR testing began, and in the first PTR patch they changed that recipe to only work on sets of three or more items. Products made from this recipe will never be ancient.

Mastery of Nilfur

1 Complete Item
10 Breath of Death
10 Forgotten Souls

Remove level requirements

This recipe allows players to completely remove the level requirement from any item. Not much use for Normal players, but it will make it even easier for Heroic players, who can put in a powerful sixth item, at level 1, and play the whole game on Torment 10 starting at 1-70 in just a few minutes.

Proceedings of Catan

1 item (any type)
1 Gem of Lightness, rank 25 or higher.

Transform Gems

This recipe allows the player to convert 9 gems into any other type of gem. It can be used at any gem level, but only in quantities of 9. Gem Emblems are purchased from the Merchant in Act 2 for 500,000 gold each.

Dark Radament

9x any gem (same type/quality)
1 Gem Essence (type of gem you want)
5 Breath of Death

Consumable Conversion

This recipe allows players to convert 100 of any crafting materials (White, Blue, or Yellow, but not Breath of Death or Forgotten Souls) into 100 White/Blue/Yellow crafting materials. This is useful for offsetting imbalances in material quantity, such as a player who has many more Clouded Crystals (yellow) and wants to convert them into blue or white materials for crafting purposes.

To create, insert at least 100 stacks of materials you want to change and 1 item (white, blue, or yellow) from which you want to change 100 materials. For example, 100 Cloud Crystals + 1 Magic Item = 100 Arcane Dust (Blue).

Fury of Ibn Fahd

100 stacks of white, blue or yellow material
1 quality element (white, blue or yellow) with which you want to change the materials.
1 Breath of Death

Portal: to the level of cows

An undocumented recipe, it unlocks a portal to the cow level, a bonus zone first introduced for the third anniversary of Diablo 3.

1 Cow Berdysh (Legendary item)

Portal: Vault

An undocumented recipe, it opens a golden portal to Goblin Valley, a bonus area where fabulous golden riches await.

Only one portal in the Vault can be opened per game, so if the Goblin accidentally found it, this recipe cannot be used in that game. (Presumably using this recipe means no random Goblin will open it in the world, although this is hard to verify).

1 Puzzle Ring (Legendary Ring)
