When it comes to surviving in the harsh world of Sanctuary in Diablo 4, there are various ways for players to increase their power and survivability. One of these ways is by using the gems that you can find in the game, which can grant you considerable buffs, from weapon buffs to damage and elemental resistances.
But how many gems are there in Diablo 4? and what does it cost to acquire them? Well, that's where we have you covered. Below we will be presenting you with a full list of all the gems in Diablo 4 as well as the crafting costs of each of them as well as the costs to upgrade them.
Update on 23 March 2023: Don't forget that you can play in the Diablo 4 Open Beta running from 24 to 27 March 2023.
All Diablo 4 Gems & Crafting Costs
As previously mentioned, gems in Diablo 4 are an important way to provide you with boosts to your stats regardless of your build or class, especially if you're a beginner. The gems also change their effect depending on where you place them, so, for instance, placing them on your weapon may give you an attack buff, whereas placing it on your armor may grant you a passive buff.
Ultimately, gems are often easier to find or unlock than Legendary Aspects and can provide a more attainable way to survive the early game and they provide decent upgrade paths that grant effects that can be the difference between life and death in the game. So below, we've tabulated all of the gems in Diablo 4, as well as their effects and the cost of crafting and upgrading them by using the Jeweler NPC:
