Uncut gem

Uncut Gems are a category of currency items and some quest items that can be used to engrave a skill gem or support gem, or level up a current skill gem.

At higher levels, uncut gems use an equity system such that players will find fewer lower level uncut gems as a percentage of lower level uncut gems will instead accumulate towards the drop of a higher level uncut gem. Between item levels 78-80, and even further between 81-82, this percentage increases significantly.

Uncut gem levels

Drop level breakpoints

The level of the gem dropped depends on the drop level. Note that 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.'s lowest level is 4 (drop level 12).

For example, if an Uncut Skill Gem drops from a normal monster in a level 40 area, it will always be a level 10 gem.

From drop level 62+, multiple tiers of uncut gems can drop based on a weighting system.

Version history

Version	Changes
0.3.0	Uncut gems now accumulate equity to instead drop higher level uncut gems in higher tier maps. [Undocumented]
0.2.0h	Reduced the required level for Level 20 Uncut Skill and Spirit gems to begin dropping. This was the primary reason why they were so infrequently dropping, so you should now see a lot more of them when running the highest tiers of Endgame Maps. (Reduced to drop level 80.)
0.1.1	Uncut Gems now show their level on the item label.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
