Version history

Version	Changes
3.20.0	The availability of existing Unique Jewels has been reviewed, and many (including Replica versions) can no longer be obtained.
3.17.0	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.
3.0.0	Introduced to the game.
