A Transfigured Gem is a gem in one of its alternate versions (denoted by having "of X" as a suffix) that alters its function and balance.

The transfigured gem system replaced many older systems that enhanced or altered the effects of skills, including alternate quality gems, labyrinth helmet enchantments, and unique threshold jewels. Other similar systems include notables on the Crucible Passive Tree.

Acquisition

Using the Divine Font at the end of the Eternal Labyrinth allows players to randomly or deterministically obtain transfigured gems.

Version history

Version Changes
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.
