Overview

The transfigured gem system, introduced in 3.23, replaced three older systems [1] that enhanced or altered the effects of skills: alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments, and unique threshold jewels. It also took, or took inspiration, from prior league systems, such as 3.21's Crucible Passive Tree notables.

Transfigured gems that have been corrupted to grant a Vaal skill will provide the transfigured base skill and Vaal skill. Vaal versions of skills do not have transfigurations.[2]

Trigger cooldowns are shared between multiple skills of the same type, including any transfigurations.

Skill microtransactions are compatible with their respective transfigured versions.[3]

Acquisition

Using the Divine Font at the end of the Labyrinth allows players to obtain transfigured gems with varying degrees of randomness.

Version history

Version Changes
3.24.2
  • Transfigured Gems are no longer displayed as results when searching for the base version of a Skill Gem on the Trade Website.
3.23.0
  • Alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments and unique threshold jewels are all systems that were trying to subtly modify the behaviour of skills. With this expansion these have been combined into a new system called Transfigured Gems that allows us to fully achieve the goal of these three systems, and then some.
  • Transfigured Gems are alternate versions of existing skill gems that have different functionality and balance than their regular versions. We have added many of these, with interesting variations that drastically change how existing skills play.
  • Some existing skill gems have had stats or interactions removed from the base gem and moved to the Transfigured versions to provide more focused support for pre-existing alternate playstyles.
