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.
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.
Quality now causes you and nearby allies to gain 0-10% additional Lightning Resistance, instead of providing 0-40% increased Area of Effect.
Due to the rework of reservation and the introduction of reservation efficiency, Helmet enchantments that previously granted reduced reservation of a specific skill now grant the following values of increased mana reservation efficiency for that skill:
Existing items will instead have twice the previous reduced reservation value (generally lower than the new values).
Enchantments for skills that have 35% base reservation now grant 30/45% increased mana reservation efficiency.
Anomalous Purity of Lightning now grants you and nearby allies 0.25% chance to avoid being shocked per 1% gem quality (from 1% per 1% gem quality).
Divergent Purity of Lightning now causes your damage and that of nearby allies to penetrate 0.05% of lightning resistance per 1% gem quality (from 0.2% per 1% gem quality).
