How to disassemble embedded gems in D2 Resurrected?

Mar-09-2024

 

In the game, gems are a type of item that enhances attributes, and after being embedded, their professional strength will be further enhanced. The gems are dazzling and dazzling. If we  accidentally set them wrong, can we take them off?

 

In D2 Resurrected, it is impossible to disassemble gems that have already been set. Once you embed the gems into the uniques, they will be considered permanent changes and cannot be removed separately. To disassemble an embedded gem, you can use the following methods:

 

1.Using the formula: Use the formula Hel (15 #)+return scroll+any unique with holes (already placed gems) to remove the placed gems, but please note that this can only retain the basic attributes of the original holes and items, and the attributes added to the gems will be removed.

 

2.NPC Demolition: Find a town or village with jewelers. Usually, jeweler NPCs are located at some point in these places. You can search for their location on the map of the town and find the NPC (Gem Merchant) who provides services for dismantling gems. You can open a dismantling interface with him, put the unique in, and then remove the gems, but dismantling the gems requires payment.

 

3.Decompose unique: Talk to the blacksmith and choose to disassemble the unique. After disassembling the unique, you will receive certain materials, and the gems embedded will be directly returned to you.

 

4.Destroying unique: This method will lose the gems embedded and the attributes attached to the gems, so it is only recommended for ordinary or low-level unique without precious gems.

 

In summary, when dismantling gems, please carefully choose the method based on the value of the unique and the importance of the gems to avoid unnecessary losses. If you have special needs for unique or wish to preserve gem attributes, it is recommended to use NPC dismantling or dismantling item.

 

 

Therefore, before removing the gems, it is best to first consider whether it is worth removing. Understanding the properties and functions of gems can help you choose gems that are suitable for your character and game style, and set and replace them as needed. By optimizing the use of gems, you can improve your character's performance and combat abilities in the game. Here is an introduction to gems:

 

Gem Qualities

Gems can be found in any of five qualities: Chipped, Flawed, Normal, Flawless and Perfect, from lowest to highest. While lower qualities are often used to enhance your own gear early in the game, cubing and trading is generally restricted to Perfect Gems. Each gem type has a predetermined list of stats always present on that type of gem. These will increase to be more effective as the quality of the gem improves.

 

List of Gems

There are seven different types of Gems in total, one type being as likely to drop as the next. The quality of gems themselves differ depending on where they are found, although it is still possible to find the lowest quality in Hell difficulty. This makes a total of 35 different gem variations possible (7 types X 5 qualities).

D2R Gems can be upgraded from the lowest quality all the way to their highest without having to use any other items except a Horadric Cube. To upgrade a gem, three identical gems of same type and quality are needed. This nondependancy on other items to upgrade gems made it a easily accessibe and efficient source of currency that could be traded by everyone, while also ensuring that it was easy to gather enough in short time to use for other purposes.
