Quest reward
This item is given as a quest reward for the following quests:
Note that helmet enchantments are no longer obtainable since version 3.23.0 and can only be obtained in permanent leagues as already enchanted items from before this patch.
No longer has "First Hit deals 50% less Damage", "Gain 1 Stage every 0.3-0.2 seconds while Channelling", "Lose 1 Stage every 0.3 seconds while not Channelling, +0.1 metres to radius per Stage, or Maximum 3-6 Stages. It now has 10% increased Area of Effect per 0.1 metre additional Melee Strike Range at all gem levels (previously 8%), and a base radius of 1.6 metres (previously 1.1).
Quality now provides 0-10% more Movement Speed, instead of 0-10% increased Area of Effect.
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.
Anomalous, Divergent and Phantasmal Quality Gems have been removed from the game. Existing alternate Quality Gems now have the base Quality effect found on the respective Gem.
Many Skill Gems now display their radius in metres in the Gem description.
Weapon Range displayed on Melee Weapons and other descriptions that use ranges with values now instead use metres. The reminder text for "Close Range" and the description of Presence range in the Character panel also now use metres.
Now deals base damage equal to, and has an added damage effectiveness of, 44% at gem level 1 (from 45%), up to 54% at gem level 20 (from 56%).
Now adds 10 to 15 physical damage to attacks at gem level 1, up to 56 to 85 at gem level 20.
Now gains stages as it is channelled, up to a maximum 3 at gem level 1 and 6 at gem level 20, and loses stages every 0.2 seconds while not channelling.
Now gains +1 to melee range per stage.
Now has an attack speed multiplier of 300% (previously had 50% more attack speed).
Modifiers to melee attack range now also apply to this skill's area radius.
Cyclone's additional attack range per level has been lowered, and now matches the same progression as the other attack skills, gaining additional melee weapon range every 7 levels, up to +2 at level 20 (and +3 at level 21).
Can no longer be supported by Ruthless SupportRuthless SupportSlam, Support, Melee, Attack, Strike Icon: u Level: (1-20) Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 120%Supports melee strike or slam skills. Every third time you use a supported attack, that use of the skill will be more powerful.Every third Attack with Supported Melee Attacks deals a Ruthless Blow Ruthless Blows with Supported Skills deal (70-98)% more Melee Damage Ruthless Blows with Supported Skills deal (70-98)% more Damage with Ailments caused by Melee Hits Ruthless Blows with Supported Skills have a base Stun Duration of 0.8 seconds
Additional Effects From 1-20% Quality: Supported Skills deal (0.5-10)% increased Attack DamageThis is a Support Gem. It does not grant a bonus to your character, but to skills in sockets connected to it. Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket..
Cyclone's additional melee range now applies to unarmed attacks. Cyclone now also uses pathfinding to determine where the skill will take the player (as opposed to moving in a direct line). Cyclone's description has been updated.
Fixed a bug where stats with the "while stationary" condition would erroneously stay active in certain cases while using Cyclone.
Attack skills that have their damage based on the wielded weapon have their mana costs fixed in place from level 1 onwards.
There was a display bug that caused Cyclone to show the wrong DPS value and attack speed. We have fixed this bug, so you'll now notice the visual DPS almost double and the attack speed on the gem shoot up a lot. In addition, we have reduced the damage of Cyclone by around 10% and have reduced the damage of its initial hit.
Cyclone now attacks slightly slower and has an equivalent increase to damage. It now deals damage immediately when it is used, in addition to periodic damage. Cyclone no longer targets enemies, only locations.
↑From 3.10.0 patch notes: Modifiers to Melee Weapon and Unarmed Attack Range are now described as "+X to Melee Strike Range". The functionality hasn't changed. Weapons that describe their range still refer to "Weapon Range".
