The Affliction League Reveal brings new Transfigured Gems, replacing Alternate Quality Gems, Labyrinth Helmet Enchantments and the outdated Threshold Jewels. Transfigured Gems appear for Active Skills and focus on modified functionality, rather than passive bonuses. For everything else revealed about Affliction League check out our wrapup.

Obtaining Transfigured Gems

The Divine Font at the end of the Eternal Labyrinth has been changed into a gem crafting Device.

The Divine Font found after defeating Izaro

You're able to add Skill Gems to the Font and modify them in a variety of ways. You can also add Experience to a Gem, or transform your Gem into an Exceptional Gem.

If you choose to Transform your Gem, you can pick from 3 Transfigured Gems. If you don't like the options offered, close the window and take your original Skill back.

The Eternal Labyrinth now offers 2 uses of the Divine Font by default. Furthermore, when you Transform a Gem it retains its Level and Quality. The rewards from Heist Blueprints have been buffed to compensate for the removal of Alternate Quality Gems from Heist.

Vendor Recipe Change

The vendor recipe for turning a Level 20 Gem into a 20% Quality Level 1 version of that Gem no longer works with Skill Gems, as the benefit Quality provides to damage dealing Skills is now more powerful. The vendor recipe can now only be used with non-Awakened Support Gems.

This is a very significant change to how players obtain 20% Quality gems, but change isn't always bad. Instead of leveling several copies of your main skill in your off-hand, you'll be leveling Support Gems (which can still be "flipped" via the recipe) or Gems to Transfigure next time you run Lab.

For everything else, you need to use 20 Gemcutter's Prisms, or the Divine Font. Depending on how common the "Add +#% quality to a Gem" Divine Font modifier is, you could have a great opportunity to enable the quality effects of your main skill while leveling as you run through Normal and Cruel Labyrinth.

TLDR - Buff or Nerf?

Until we get to play with the content, it's impossible to measure the impact with 100% certainty, but here's an educated guess:

  • 20/20 Gems are easier to obtain than before, and may be obtained during the Campaign by completing Lab.
  • 21/20 Gems and 20/20 Vaal Skills are more difficult to obtain.
