This also gives players a reason to level up Legendary Gems that they otherwise wouldn’t bother with which is a lot better than just having a bunch of unused gems in your stash. You also can’t double up the effect by augmenting twice, if you augment the same item a second time, it will replace the current augmentation with the new one.Īll in all this is an interesting addition to end game player progression that should add some more depth and give you something else to do. The gem type determines the stat you augment with. For augmenting you need 1x Ancient item, 1x Legendary gem (level 30 for weapon, 40 for jewelry, and 50 for armor pieces), as well as 3x of the highest quality gems. As you can see above, a rank 50 Gem will get you an additional 50 points to your main stat. 3) The materials needed are listed on the respective page of the cube recipees. You will get +1 points to your main stat on the augmented item for every rank on the Legendary Gem that you choose to consume. Legendary Gem ranks also determine how much more of your main stat that you’re going to get out of this recipe. Jewelry requires a rank 25 Legendary Gem.Weapons require a rank 25 Legendary Gem.

This is definitely one of the more interesting recipes and should add depth to end game progression but, it doesn’t come without limitations or restrictions.Įach item type has a different minimum Legendary Gem rank requirement that needs to be met in order to use this recipe. This recipe allows you to sacrifice a Legendary Gem and three Royal Gems to give an Unique or Legendary or Ancient item of your choice a boost to your main stat.

One of these new features is coming in the form of a new Cube recipe, Caldesann’s Despair. A lot of new cool features were announced to be coming with Patch 6.0 during the Diablo II – Reaper Of Souls.
