How To Upgrade Gems In Diablo 4?
You can upgrade Diablo 4 gems at a jeweler once you reach level 20. The quest Gem Crafting will task you with speaking with the jeweller Kratia who can be found in Kyovashad. One conversation later, you can speak to any jeweler across Sanctuary and upgrade your gems.
Creating them involves combining three crude crystals or skulls of the same type and forking over some coin. Reaching level 40 lets you combine three of these upgraded gems for an even more potent gem to slot into your equipment.
Level 60 and 70 grant you Flawless and Royal gems respectively. These can be created by combining three gems of the previous rarity. This means that three Flawless gems can be converted into one Royal gem. Here’s a handy list of the resources you need to upgrade your gems:
| To craft | Combine three to get (level 20) | Combine three to get (level 40) | Combine three to get (level 60) | Combine three to get (level 70) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chipped Amethyst | Crude Amethyst | Amethyst | Flawless Amethyst | Royal Amethyst |
| Chipped Diamond | Crude Diamond | Diamond | Flawless Diamond | Royal Diamond |
| Chipped Emerald | Crude Emerald | Emerald | Flawless Emerald | Royal Emerald |
| Chipped Ruby | Crude Ruby | Ruby | Flawless Ruby | Royal Ruby |
| Chipped Sapphire | Crude Sapphire | Sapphire | Flawless Sapphire | Royal Sapphire |
| Chipped Skull | Crude Skull | Skull | Flawless Skull | Royal Skull |
| Chipped Topaz | Crude Topaz | Topaz | Flawless Topaz | Royal Topaz |
