If you combine 3 chipped gems into 1 flawed gem, based on the above values, your flawed gem should have an embodied value of 2,000 gold (3×500 + 500 combin cost) and the value of 2 seconds. But the resulting flawed gem will only sell for 1150 gold. You can use my gem calculator to calculate the values of gems as you combine them. Below, we detail the items and gems that you should use for your Support Necromancer in Diablo 3 and why. We also list your paragon points and Kanai's Cube items.

Jewelcrafting in Diablo 3 is all about gems, tons of gems. When you play Diablo 3 you will meet your very own Artisan Jeweler (named Covetous Shen) who you can work with and train to higher levels. Similar to your Blacksmith Artisan. You will level these two Artisans up as you progress through Diablo 3 and they will allow you to craft an expanding assortment of equipment and other bonus items.
Warning: It is currently not possible to make gold combining most gems. You will actually lose gold combining gems (except some high level rubies and other rare ones). If you have 3 Flawless Emeralds and want 1 Perfect Emerald just sell the 3 flawless on the auction house and then buy 1 emerald with the cash you get. You will get paid to do it this way. This is true for the first 8 tiers of gems right now. If you want to make gold, join the Diablo 3 Secrets community forum to find out how people are doing it right now.
The Purpose of Gems
In Diablo 3, just about everyone wants or needs gems to enhance the power of their gear. Gems are inserted into their gear just like in Diablo 2 and in World of Warcraft. Head, chest, wrists, waist, amulets, shields and weapons can be socketed with gems. You can place gems into sockets and even remove them. Removed gems can be traded and sold with other players or even combined with 2 other gems of the same color and quality to make the next tier of quality.
Throughout the game, you will only find up to tier 8 of gems while there are a total of 14 different tiers. This will make the upper tiers extremely rare early in Diablo 3. It is not necessary to level your own Jeweler since you can trade with others on the auction house and in trade chat with friends. There is no ‘bind on equip’ or ‘bind on pickup’ aspect to Diablo 3.
Leveling your Artisan Jeweler
Leveling your artisan Jeweler works differently than leveling your Blacksmith. Your Artisan Jeweler will begin as an Apprentice and work their way to the 10th level: Exalted. The process will require gold and 3 types of reagents: Pages of Jewelcrafting, Tomes of Jewelcrafting and Tomes of Secrets. pages of Jewelcrafting are found throughout Nightmare difficulty. Tomes of Jewelcrafting are found throughout Hell difficulty and Tomes of Secrets are found throughout Inferno difficulty. Tomes of Secrets are also shared with Blacksmiths and are, as you can see, needed in larger quantity than the lower level reagents. These reagents are also needed to combine gems.
Leveling an Apprentice Jeweler to Exalted will be expensive, here is what it will cost:
- 20 Pages of Jewelcrafting
- 20 Tomes of Jewelcrafting
- 40 Tomes of Secrets
- 140,000 gold
Here is what each level will cost you:
Apprentice -> Journeyman (5,000 gold)
Journeyman -> Adept (5,000 gold)
Adept -> Master (10,000 gold and 10 Pages of Jewelcrafting)
Master -> Grandmaster (10,000 gold and 10 Pages of Jewelcrafting)
Grandmaster -> Illustrious (10,000 gold and 10 Tomes of Jewelcrafting)
Illustrious -> Magnificent (10,000 gold and 10 Tomes of Jewelcrafting)
Magnificent -> Resplendent (20,000 gold and 10 Tomes of Secrets)
Resplendent -> Glorious (30,000 gold and 10 Tomes of Secrets)
Glorious -> Exalted (40,000 gold and 20 Tomes of Secrets)
Once you reach Exalted with your Jewel your will be able to combine every type of gem into its next tier. For example, you will be able to combine 3 L1 gems into 1 L2 gems and even 3 L13 gems into 1 L14 gem. More about types of gems types and qualities below.
Types of Gems
There are only 4 types of gems in Diablo 3: Topaz, Ruby, Emerald and Amesthyst. Each one comes in 14 different qualities from chipped to radiant star. Each tier of gems (tier 1 to 14) requires 3 of the previous tier to create. Three chipped amethysts can be turned into 1 flawed amethysts if you’re Jewel is high enough level.
Each gem offers an added attribute depending on whether its used in a helmet or another slot of gear. Here’s the breakdown of the 4 known gems:
Amethyst | + % Life (in helm) + Vitality + Life Steal (in weapon) |
Emerald | + % Extra Gold From Monsters (in helm) + Dexterity + Critical Damage Increased by 15% |
Ruby | Increases experienced rewarded per kill by % (in helm) + Strength + Damage (in weapon) |
Topaz | + % Better Chance of Finding Magical Items (in helm) + Intelligence Attackers take damage per hit (in weapon) |
Gem Qualities
Each gem comes in 14 different qualities which can be improved by finding 3 of the lower-quality and combining them at your Jeweler top make a single next-quality gem. For instance, if you have 3 Chipped Emeralds they can be combined to 1 Flawed Emerald and 3 Flawed Emeralds can be turned into 1 Normal Emerald.
The progression of gem qualities works like this:
Chipped -> Flawed -> Normal -> Flawless -> Perfect -> Radiant -> Square -> Flawless Square -> Perfect Square -> Radiant Square -> Star ->Flawless Star -> Perfect Star -> Radiant Star
As you level your Jewel you will unlock the next gem quality except once you reach level 10 you will unlock Star, Flawless Star, Perfect Star and Radiant Star qualities.

Urshi is an NPC merchant/artisan found only in Reaper of Souls or the console Ultimate Evil Edition. She was added to the game in Patch 2.1 as part of the Greater Rifts feature, and is the only source in the game to upgrade Legendary Gems.
Urshi appears every time a Greater Rift Guardian is defeated within the 15 minute time limit, and offers players three chances to upgrade a Legendary Gem (4 chances in an Empowered Rift), with the odds depending on the level of the Rift vs. the level of the LGem.
Prior to Patch 2.3, Urshi appeared every time a Greater Rift Guardian was defeated, whether within 15 minutes or not. At that point players could choose to upgrade the rank of the Greater Rift Key (If they finished within the 15 minute time limit), or else get 3 tries to upgrade Legendary Gems (whether they were within 15m or not).

Development Changes[edit | edit source]
Urshi's function has been refined during patches since her introduction in Patch 2.1.
Original Description[edit | edit source]
- Urshi will appear every time a Greater Rift Guardian is defeated and will allow you to upgrade either your Greater Rift Keystone or a Legendary Gem
- Upgrading a Greater Rift Keystone will allow you to continue on to a more challenging Greater Rift
- In order to upgrade your Rift Keystone, you must complete the current Greater Rift level within the designated time limit
- You can earn additional attempts to upgrade your Legendary gems by reaching higher tier Greater Rifts
Patch 2.1 PTR[edit | edit source]
Diablo 3 Gem Combiner Calculator
A PTR fix on August 5th, 2014 during Patch 2.1 testing made Urshi easier to use. Prior to that patch she only appeared after the GRG was killed, but only when players failed to do so within the 15 minute time frame. After the patch Urshi appears after every GRG kill, and using her is optional. [1]

Patch 2.3[edit | edit source]
Patch 2.3 removed ranks (levels) from Greater Rift Keys along with removing the Realm of Trials, and switched Urshi's function to only allow LGem upgrades when the Guardian was defeated within the 15m time limit.
Prior to this patch, Urshi would always allow LGem upgrades no matter how long a player took to finish the Grift and kill the Guardian, but she would only allow Rift Key upgrades if players defeated within 15 minutes.
Patch 2.5[edit | edit source]
Prior to Patch 2.3, Urshi appeared every time a Greater Rift Guardian was defeated, whether within 15 minutes or not. At that point players could choose to upgrade the rank of the Greater Rift Key (If they finished within the 15 minute time limit), or else get 3 tries to upgrade Legendary Gems (whether they were within 15m or not).
Surrender a Greater Rift?[edit | edit source]
In her original function, Urshi could only be accessed by failing to finish a Grift within 15 minutes. Players objected to this system, and Blizzard agreed with the complaint.[2]
Diablo 3 Gem Combiner Mod
The purpose of the greater rifts are to push your toon as far as you can go, right? I find myself as an hc player, as i approach my Grift limit (usually 23-25, depending on the luck of the draw) that i need to -pause- and wait for the timer to expire just before the rift boss spawns, so I have a shot at the vendor to upgrade a leg gem.I completed 25 today, and was doing 26. It was way over my toons ability to complete. I wish there was a ‘i give up’ button, spawn the vendor, and have the shot an a gem upgrade.
Grimiku: I can definitely see a need for a feature like this in the current state of of the PTR. I’d be happy to bring it up at our next meeting, too. Thanks for posting your feedback!
Hell, I’d like an “I give up” button for SC, too.
This request was granted (more or less) with the changes made in the August 5th patch, enabling Urshi to appear after every GRG kill, rather than just when kills were made after the 15 minute time limit.
