As players continue exploring the PTR, the massive itemization changes coming to Diablo 4 in Season 4 are at the forefront of everyone's minds, but here's something you may have missed — Gems have received a refresh in preparation for the upcoming season!

Amethyst, Emerald, Sapphire, and Topaz will now grant Primary Stats when socketed into Armor, boosting Strength, Dexterity, Willpower, and Intelligence respectively. Additionally, nearly all Gem effects have been buffed across the board.

Here's a side-by-side comparison of the old effects and their upcoming changes:

Live Patch 1.4.0

These changes are in line with the Itemization changes across the board, removing unnecessary bloat in affixes. Blizzard may revisit other underutilized Gem effects in the future, but, for now, players are sure to appreciate the added flexibility when socketing Gems into Armor.
