Jeweler Guide for Diablo 4 (Season 6)

Jeweler Overview

In Diablo 4, players can greatly improve their equipment and progress through the game by using Jeweler features, such as unsocketing gems, adding sockets, and crafting gems or runes. This guide will explain how to use the Jeweler and all these features. We also have a guide that covers the entire gear system within Diablo 4, which is relevant and which we recommend reading as well:

How to Unlock The Jeweler

When you play the game for the first time, you get introduced to Kratia, the Jeweler in Kyovashad within Fractured Peaks, as a priority quest.

How to Craft Gems

Upon completing the quest, you will have access to the crafting system and can create any gem you desire, provided you have the necessary materials. The system allows for the creation of more potent gems, by using gemstone fragments that have been found or dropped. Gem fragments can be discovered throughout the world, as drops from Whisper Caches, or obtained by defeating enemies at level 5 or above. The higher the tier of gem that is crafted, the more fragments it will cost. The same naturally applies to further tiers as well, and so on.

You will require gold and the following amount of fragments for each type of gem:

• Chipped Gem: 10 Fragments
• Normal Gem: 100 Fragments
• Flawless Gem: 1000 Fragments
• Royal Gem: 10 000 Fragments
• Grand Gem: 100 000 Fragments + 30 Forgotten Soul

Visiting the Jeweler and upgrading gems will result in even better stats when placed in your gear.

How to Add Sockets

Aside from crafting gems, you can also place gems in sockets on your characters’ gear to boost their stats. The following types of gear can have sockets:

• Helm – 2 Sockets
• Chest – 2 Sockets
• Pants – 2 Sockets
• Amulet – 1 Socket
• Ring – 1 Socket
• 1-Handed Weapon – 1 Socket
• 2-Handed Weapon – 2 Sockets
• Off-Hand Focus – 1 Socket
• Bow – 2 Sockets

However, some items drop without any sockets. In such cases, you can visit the Jeweler to manually add a socket to the item. For non-ancestral items, you will require the following materials:

• Iron Chunk / Rawhide
• Veiled Crystal
• Coiling Ward / Baleful Fragment / Abstruse Sigil

For Ancestral items, you will only require a Scattered Prism. These can be obtained by looting treasure Goblins, completing legion events, or as a drop from World Bosses, such as Ashava the Pestilent.

How to Remove Gems from Sockets

Removing gems at the Jeweler is only useful if you wish to replace the gem with a different type of higher quality gem. Otherwise, if you are simply upgrading the gear piece itself (and plan to salvage it), removing the gem beforehand is pointless, since the act of salvaging it is free of cost and returns your gem to you. Check out our Blacksmith Guide for more information about how to salvage items.

Replacing Gems or Runes on Gear

Gems and Runes can be replaced anytime, without the need to visit a Jeweler. If you try to socket a Gem into a two-socket item that is already filled with either 2 Gems or Runes, the bottom Gem will be removed, and the newly placed Gem will become the top Gem.

If you socket a Gem into an item that already has a Runeword (2) or even just 1 Rune in it, all Runes are automatically removed. The same goes for items that contain Gems; trying to socket a Rune into the same item will automatically remove all Gems.

Runecrafting

At the Jeweler, you can combine three of the same runes to create a new one. The new rune will always be different from the ones you traded off, and when using Magic or Rare runes, you might even obtain a rune of a higher rarity.

Craft Mythic Uniques

With Vessel of Hatred, the Jeweler Rune Crafting tab offers the option to craft Mythic Uniques in exchange for 2 Resplendent Spark and 3x 6 different Legendary Runes. Resplendent Sparks can be obtained by salvaging other Mythic Uniques. Find out more in our Runewords guide.
