Version history
The devs made a multi-patches process to remove threshold jewel from the core gameplay, which in version 3.23.0 introduced transfigured gems and at the same time the number of drop enabled threshold jewels is down to 4.
The replacement of Hazardous Research was initially a helmet enchantment Spark fires Projectiles in a circle which was introduced in version 3.20.0, but was also removed from acquiring in version 3.23.0. It is now provided by using the transfigured version of Spark: Spark of the NovaSpark of the NovaSpell, Projectile, Duration, Lightning Level: (1-20) Cost: (6-25) Mana Cast Time: 0.75 sec Critical Strike Chance: 6.00% Effectiveness of Added Damage: 200%Launches unpredictable sparks in all directions that move randomly until they hit an enemy or expire.Deals (2-111) to (30-2113) Lightning Damage Base duration is 2.00 seconds Fires (8-12) Projectiles Fires Projectiles in a circle

The Hazardous Research Unique Jewel no longer has "With at least 40 Intelligence in Radius, Spark fires 2 additional Projectiles" or "15-20% reduced Spark Duration". Existing items can be updated with a Divine Orb. The Jewel's purpose is now only to enable firing Spark projectiles in a circle if you want this behaviour.
Unique Threshold Jewels are no longer offered as a quest reward for completing "Death to Purity" in Act 5. Instead, you are now offered a choice of a Rare Crimson, Rare Cobalt, or Rare Viridian Jewel.
