In addition to active skill gems, another type of gem exists – support gems. These are placed in special, linked sockets and grant additional properties to other gems they are linked with. They do not grant active skills themselves.
#REDIRECT [[Support gem]]
 
These linked sockets start to occur in groups on items as the player explores further into Wraeclast. Larger groups of linked sockets occur infrequently but offer greater opportunities for augmentation.
 
For example, linking a “Multiple Projectiles” support gem to a fireball skill gem causes the fireball skill to launch multiple fireballs when used. Linking an “Added Fire Damage” support gem to an ice nova skill gem causes the ice nova to also deal fire damage in addition to its normal cold damage.
 
Support gems gain experience and level up in the same way that skill gems do. Their effects increase in power as they reach higher levels. A high level “Multiple Projectiles” support gem adds more additional projectiles than a low level one.
 
Any skill can be augmented by any support gems where it makes sense. For example, an “Increased Area of Effect” support gem would modify:
The size of an ice nova
The splash radius of a fireball
The proximity of nearby allies affected by a “Buff Other”-supported buff.
 
 
“Piercing projectiles”, “Multiple Projectiles” and various other support gems affect all skills that have a projectile component.
 
There are dozens of support gems and active skill gems available at launch. Many more will be added after release.
 
Rather than designing specific behavior for each augmentation, we have made our system extremely versatile, so that there are thousands of combinations of skills and augmentations.
