Skill gem
Lua error in Module:Item_class at line 78: The item class name "Active Skill Gems" is invalid..
Skill gem (known as Active Skill Gems in item filter), is an item class which grants active skills to the player by placing them into an item socket. Similar to support gems, skill gems can gain experience and level up increasing both their Attribute(s) and character level requirement as well as the effect of the stats granted by the skill.
Skill gems can be further augmented by placing appropriate support gems into a linked socket.
Skill gems have gem tags which are used to categorize them, but note that gem tags are not intended to indicate whether a skill gem can be supported by other gems[1] or whether specific stats (or modifiers)[2] apply.
In term of item mod and passive skill, such as the mod +2 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems from Unnatural Strength, the "skill gem" refers to [active] skill gem only.
Support gems are refers as "support gems" in passive skill and item mods, such as Catarina's +# to Level of Socketed Support Gems. Despite in item filter, Support gems are refer as Support Skill Gems.
