Jeweler Gems & Socketing

The Jeweler can be found in Kyovashad immediately after starting your adventure at level 1. However, when your character reaches level 20, you receive a Priority Quest objective to go and see the Jeweler in Kyovashad. Here you are given the task of upgrading Ruby Fragments into a Chipped Ruby. You're given Ruby Fragments and need a small amount of Gold to craft your first Gem.

But now where do you put this Gem? As you adventure, you will come across items that already have Sockets in them. Sockets can roll as a bonus stat and allow you to put Gems inside to benefit from the stats listed on the Gem. Your Helm, Chest, Pants, Rings, Amulet, and Weapons can all have Sockets (head, chest, pants and two-handed weapon have 2, the rest 1). Killing a World Boss or Treasure Goblin may reward you with a Scattered Prism that can be used to add Sockets to your gear.

There are many types of Gems in Diablo 4 that each provide different stats when socketed into your gear. The gear slot you socket these powerful gems into decides how they empower your character. Generally speaking, socketing your weapon provides some additive damage effect, main stats if socketed into your armor, and Resistance/Armor to your jewelry.

Crafting these gems requires you to collect fragments, such as Sapphire Fragment. These fragments can be found when slaying elite enemies, opening the Tree of Whispers Cache, interacting with Ore Veins, and opening normal chests.

Below is a table of all existing gems in Diablo 4, containing their crafting costs and function when put into specific gear slots.

You may want to upgrade the Gems you currently have in your gear, or swap to different ones to gain a stat you don't currently have. Luckily, the Jeweler allows you to unsocket Gems from your Gear free of charge! This removes the Gem for later use and reopens the slot to allow a new Gem to be Socketed into it.

Armor

• Helm - 2 Socket
• Chest - 2 Sockets
• Pants - 2 Sockets

Jewelry

• Amulet - 1 Socket
• Ring - 1 Socket

Weapons

• 1-Handed Weapon - 1 Socket
• 2-Handed Weapon - 2 Sockets
• Bow - 2 Sockets
• Focus - 1 Socket
• Shield - 1 Socket

Rune Transmutation allows you to take three of a specific Rune and convert it to a random Rune of the same type. For example, you cannot convert three Eom Runes, an Invocation Rune, to a random Ritual Rune. This is important, as if you are looking for specific Runes for Crafting purposes then you need to make sure you are attempting to convert Runes of the correct type.

These converted Runes retain their quality and type when crafted. This means that the random Rune you generate will not risk dropping in quality and thus will also not increase the quality of lower-quality Runes.

Mythic Crafting allows you to combine Runes and Resplendent Spark to convert them into a specific Mythic Unique. For example, Tam x6, Qax x6, and Zan x6 together with two Resplendent Spark becomes Andariel's Visage.

Compared to the random Mythic crafting option at the Blacksmith, this allows more farming from the player as the required Runes could be hard to come by. However, it also allows full control of the outcome and could thus be preferred as Resplendent Spark is difficult to come by.
