Gems are a type of item that either grants a skill (skill gem) or modifies a skill (support gem) when placed into a gem socket.
There are currently 201 different skill gems and 455 support gems in the game, for a total of 668.
Skill gems
Skill gems can be socketed in the skill panel to gain an active skill which can be assigned on the player's keybinds. Up to 9 skill gems can be bound simultaneously by default; items or passive skills may also grant additional skills.
Characters need to meet the skill gem's level and attribute requirements to be able to use it. Level and attribute requirements increase as a skill gem is leveled up.
When creating a skill gem using an

, it will be engraved at a gem level matching that of the uncut gem. Skill gems can be levelled up further using an Uncut Skill GemUncut Skill GemCreates a Skill Gem or Level an existing gem to level #Right Click to engrave a Skill Gem. up to level 20 (21 if corrupted).
Spirit gems
Spirit gems, or persistent buff skill gems, are special skill gems which can only be created using an 
Uncut Spirit GemUncut Spirit GemCreates a Persistent Buff Skill Gem or Level an existing gem to Level #Right Click to engrave a Persistent Buff Skill Gem.
. They can be socketed to gain access to skills that grant persistent buffs, trigger other skills, or to summon permanent minions. These gems have require the reservation of spirit in order to gain their effect.
Spirit gems can be supported by support gems, but this will often increase the reservation based on the support gem's cost multiplier. Other support gems may incur a flat spirit reservation instead which does not scale.
Similar to skill gems, characters need to meet the spirit gem's level and attribute requirements and sometimes weapon requirements to be able to use them.
Skills granted by spirit gems can be activated in the skill panel by right-clicking the desired spirit gem. They may also have a skill component which can be used directly.
Support gems
Support gems can be socketed into individual skills; these modify the effects of the supported skill. Each gem is limited to two support slots at start, with up to three additional supports available via the use of Jeweller's Orbs. Skills granted by items and Ascendancy skills can also have sockets; their number of sockets is based on the item's item level or your character level, respectively.
The total number of support gems of each color are limited by the corresponding stat totals of the character, with 5 points of the stat allowing one support of that color.
- Strength - Red
- Dexterity - Green
- Intelligence - Blue
For example, a character with 20 Strength, 40 Dexterity and 30 Intelligence would be able to use a total of 4 red, 8 green and 6 blue support gems.
Lineage support gems
Lineage support gems are special types of support gems. These cannot be crafted using Uncut Support Gems and can only be found as drops from the core drop pool or specific bosses.
