The Legendary Gems in Diablo Immortal divide opinions on Pay2Win. But which of the coveted 5-star gems is actually the best and what does it bring to the table? MeinMMO has the answer.
Which gem are we talking about? In total, there are 6 Legendary Gems that can be socketed in your equipment, and each gem has its own special effect.
MeinMMO has looked at tier lists and evaluations from players, and there is one of the ?/5-star gems that is consistently at the top of the list:
- Blood-Soaked Jade
- Increases resonance & combat rating according to stars and gem rank
- Increases your damage dealt by up to 8% and your movement speed by 10%. The bonus damage decreases when your health is low, down to a minimum of 4%.
- From rank 5: 15% better chance to find magical items.
- From rank 3: Takes 2% less damage when your health is below 50%.
Why is the Jade gem so powerful? The gem is considered extremely strong shortly after the release of Diablo Immortal and fits every class.
You get an immediate 8% increase in damage without any prerequisites. Even with low health, you still have at least 4% damage, which is already quite significant. A bit of damage reduction comes on top.
Compared to most other Legendary Gems with potential 5 stars, “Blood-Soaked Jade” does not rely on chance, and that makes the difference in the end.

Which Legendary Gems (?/5 stars) are also considered very strong? Also at the top is “Dripping Gall”. A gem that offers a lot of reliance on chance, but spreads damage over time and jumps to nearby enemies:
- Dripping Gall
- Increases resonance & combat rating according to stars and gem rank
- Attacks have a 4% chance to poison enemies. Deals 25% base damage and 263 damage per second for 6 seconds. If an affected enemy dies, the poison spreads. A target can only be affected by the poison once every 20 seconds.
- From rank 5: 15% better chance to find magical items.
- From rank 3: Poison reduces enemy movement speed by 6%.
Especially in large groups, the Gall causes terror. Due to the relatively low chance of poisoning, this Legendary Gem does not surpass the Top Jade.
How do I get Legendary Gems (?/5 stars)? There are 4 main sources for Legendary Gems:
- Ancient portals with activated emblems
- Player market
- In-game shop
- Crafting
Through the Ancient portals with emblem, you always have a chance of Legendary Gems. However, to have a chance for the good ?/5-star gems, you need to use a “Legendary Emblem.” You can buy these emblems in the shop or limited from the so-called “Hilt Trader.”
However, the 5-star gems can also drop as 1-star gems with reduced values for resonance and combat rating. That’s why we write the “?” next to the gems.
The actual chance of getting a “real” 5-star gem is minuscule.
- 4.5% chance for a ?/5-star gem
- 1% chance that this gem has 5 stars
- 75% chance that this gem has 2 stars
On the player market, other players offer their found gems for Platinum. However, for the really good gems, you have to dig deep into your pockets. At the time of the article, a Blood-Soaked Jade with 4 stars costs 320,000 Platinum on the El’Druin server.
Sometimes offers in the real money shop also provide you with a Legendary Gem. Shortly after release, you can find among the items “Special Offers” for 25.99 euros a package with the Legendary Gem “Blessing of the Worthy” with 2 out of 5 possible stars. Emblems and gem dust are included.
You can also craft the Legendary Gem at the jeweler, but you need many valuable resources for that.
The Legendary Gems with 5 out of 5 stars fuel the discussion about Pay2Win in Diablo Immortal due to their absurd rarity.
The main bonuses – that is, the special effects – are the same for all gems, and the advantage of a gem with 5/5 stars is limited.
