Recipes cube Kanai Diablo III. Upgrading the legendary gem and the stone of the great portal Gem of lightness diablo 3 where to get

All legendary gems, in addition to the main property, also have a secondary property, which becomes available only from gem level 25.

So how do you upgrade a legendary gem to level 25 and above (max level is 50)?

To get started, in order to get a stone to the great portal, we need to go through a regular portal and randomly knock out a test stone from the portal guard. The higher the level of passing the game (Torment 5-6), the higher the chance of a test stone falling out.

Using the test stone and having passed the test, we already get a stone into the great portal. In challenge mode, groups of monsters appear around you, similar to how monsters appear, for example, around cursed shrines. These groups of monsters need to be killed in a certain amount of time, the faster you kill them, the higher the level of the next group and, as a result, the level of the stone of the great portal will be higher.

Video passing the test after opening the portal with the test stone:

As a result of the passage of the great portal, Urshi appears in the place of the killed guardian of the great portal, which can either improve your legendary gems or improve the stone of the great portal.

The Great Portal must be passed in 15 minutes - during this time you need to have time to kill all the necessary monsters and the guardian of the great portal. The faster you go through the Greater Portal, the higher the next Greater Portal Stone will be. For example, after passing level 20 in less than half the time, I immediately received the next stone in the level 23 portal. You can upgrade the stone of the Great Portal only if you managed to pass the portal in the allotted time.

So, why do you need to go through the higher levels of the great portal? Well, firstly, to get good legendary items. And, secondly, the higher the level of the portal, the higher the chance to improve the legendary gem. After each passage, regardless of whether you managed to complete it in time or not, you can improve the legendary gem with Ursha. The higher the level of the gem, the lower the chance to increase the level further. A total of 3 attempts are given. For example, it is very easy to upgrade a stone to level 10 - for this it is enough to run through the great portals of level 10-20 (chances of improvement are 60-100%, respectively), but if you already need to improve the stone to level 50, then even at level 50 of the great portal, the chance of improvement will be 60% or less.

Equipping your character with the right gems is an important part of the game. Since gems can be crafted at will, and higher tier gems can be used on any character, spending gold on upgrading non-legendary gems is never a waste of time.

1. Gems

Ordinary gems come in 5 possible types: Amethysts, Diamonds, Emeralds, Rubies and Topazes. Each of these types of gems gives you different bonuses for different places on your gear.

At level 70, the most basic gems you can find are Marchionesses, such as Marchioness Ruby with marquise cut. You can upgrade these gems to Flawless Royal Ruby. All gem types follow the same upgrade patterns we describe below for Ruby gems.

• 1x Regal Ruby worth 3x Ruby with marquise cut+ 200,000 Gold.
• 1x Flawless Regal Ruby worth 3x Regal Ruby+ 300,000 Gold.1x
• Royal Ruby worth 3x Flawless Regal Ruby+ 1x Shadow of Death+ 400,000 Gold.
• 1x Flawless Royal Ruby costs 3x Royal Ruby+ 1x Shadow of Death+ 500,000 Gold.

This means that to create a single Flawless Royal Ruby, you will need a total of 81x Ruby with marquise cut.4x Shadow of Death and 9,800,000 gold. Royal Gems sometimes drop at level 70, so some of them lower the cost, but Flawless Royal Jewels remain an expensive craft. You also need to find jeweler recipes for these gems, but they usually drop fast from Nephalem Rifts and Bounts.

2. Legendary Gems

Legendary Gems are obtained from Greater Portals. You are guaranteed to get them every time you kill the Great Guardian of the Portal. However, there is an important limitation. If you already have a legendary gem in your inventory, on your gear, or in your wallet, you won't be able to get a second one (unless you save your first gem in another character's inventory).

In practice, this limitation is not a problem, because gems have unique equipment, so you cannot equip the same legendary gem twice, even if you manage to get it twice using the trick mentioned above. The limitation is actually quite handy because it allows you to quickly get your legendary gems without the risk of getting duplicate gems instead of what you really need.

One of the legendary gems, Gift of the Acquisitioner, does not drop from VP, but drops at a special level that you can access by using the yellow portal sometimes left by Goblins or by using a ring.

2.1. Legendary Gem Update

All legendary gems can be upgraded to give them better stats (more powerful effects, to be exact). When you first get a legendary gem, it is level 0 and its level 25 special effect is locked.

Upgrading a Legendary Legendary Stone increases its level by 1 and is something you can do every time you complete the Grand Rift. Each time you defeat the Great Portal Guardian, an NPC named Urshi will appear next to the guardian's body. If you successfully complete the VP, you can improve your stone; if you fail, you simply complete the portal and get experience and gold for it.

Each time Urshi spawns, you can ask to upgrade the gem 3 times so that you can level up that legendary gem up to 3 times, or level 3 different legendary gems once. However, you need to keep in mind that updating legendary gems is not a guarantee. Below are the characteristics of pumping gems and% luck:

• 100%: Greater Portal level greater than or equal to gem level + 10;
• 90%: Higher Portal Level≥ Gem Level + 9;
• 80%: High Portal Level = Gem Level + 8;
• 70%: High Portal Level = Gem Level + 7;
• 60%: Gem Level + 6 ≥ Major Portal Level ≥ 0;
• 30%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 1;
• 15%: Greater Portal Level = Gem Level - 2;
• 8%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 3;
• 4%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 4;
• 2%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 5;
• 1%: High Portal Level = Gem Level - 6;
• 0%: High Portal Level ≤ Gem Level - 7.

Most effective method get a gem to level 25 and unlock its special effect - start by farming 9x gem level. Then move on to doing VPs at levels 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, and 37. If you complete runs in that order, you will always have a 100% chance to upgrade your Legendary Gem.
