Diablo Immortal is filled with different items to make your character stronger, but none are more important than Legendary Gems. You can have six of these equipped at a time, one in each primary gear slot, and they provide massive stats boosts and unique effects that can define your character’s build.

The catch is that not all Legendary Gems are created equal. Some are more rare and powerful than others, which can make figuring out how to get the best gems a little confusing. Here’s what you need to know on how to acquire these essential items–and how to make them even more powerful in Blizzard’s mobile-first RPG.

How to find Legendary Gems

Legendary Gems come in a few different varieties: 1-Star, 2-Star, and 5-Star. As you can imagine, 5-Star gems are vastly superior to 1-Star and 2-Star Legendary Gems, but they are also far more rare and difficult to obtain.

How do you actually acquire these gems? They are primarily found by completing Elder Rifts in conjunction with Rare or Legendary Crests. These are consumable items that can be purchased or acquired through the battle pass or other in-game shop bundles. Using a Rare Crest gives you a chance to find a 1- or 2-Star Legendary Gem upon completing an Elder Rift, while using a Legendary Crest guarantees that a Legendary Gem will drop, with a small chance of getting a 5-Star Legendary Gem. The more crests you slot into an Elder Rift, the more gems you get at the end as a reward.

There are, however, a few other ways to acquire Legendary Gems. They can be purchased (or sold) by other players on the Marketplace using Platinum, and they can also be crafted using a combination of Runes and Platinum. You can craft 1- and 2-Star Legendary Gems directly at the Jeweler, or craft a random Legendary Gem for a chance of gaining a 5-Star Legendary Gem. You can also use Fading Ember at the Fading Ember Merchant to purchase select 1- and 2-Star Legendary Gems, with the merchant’s stock changing weekly. Last but not least, some Legendary Gems can even be found in the game’s battle pass.

Because of how rare, and how few, 5-Star Legendary Gems currently are in the game, you’ll primarily be looking to find and upgrade 2-Star Legendary Gems starting out.

Finding and equipping Legendary Gems that synergize with your class and build is key.

How to upgrade Legendary Gems

To make Legendary Gems even more powerful, you’ll need to rank them up. Doing this boosts the gem’s Combat Rating, Resonance bonus, and its primary attributes. At rank 3, another effect for the Legendary Gem will unlock, while at rank 5 the gem will also award bonus magic find. Legendary Gems can be upgraded to a maximum of rank 10, after which they can be used to “awaken” a Legendary item, which grants various additional effects depending on the Legendary item being awakened.

The catch is that ranking up Legendary Gems doesn’t come easy. To rank gems up, you need to acquire duplicates of that same gem as well as a resource called Gem Power, which is earned from breaking down unneeded Legendary Gems. The more powerful the gem and the higher the rank, the more duplicates and more Gem Power that is needed to rank up.

Ranking up Legendary Gems is critical to boosting your character’s power.

Best Legendary Gems

Finding and upgrading Legendary Gems is a key part of Diablo Immortal’s endgame, so it will be a long process. It may be tempting to use and upgrade the first Legendary Gem you find, but keep in mind that some are far more powerful than others, and certain gems can be more useful for specific classes. Most 1-Star Legendary Gems are only useful in the interim until you find more 2-Star gems, and if you’re lucky enough to find a 5-Star gem, you’ll want to upgrade it as fast as possible and build your character around it. Here are some of the best Legendary Gems to keep an eye out for.

Diablo Immortal has arrived a day early on mobile, but thanks to cross-progression, you can start monster slaying now and have all your progress carry over to the PC version.

This latest entry in Blizzard’s storied ARPG franchise is the first game in the series to be free-to-play, available on mobile, and feature MMO-like elements. Despite all that, it still very much feels like a Diablo game, as you hack your way through demon hordes, search for better loot, and battle grotesque bosses.

Like many free-to-play games these days, it includes a battle pass, paid cosmetics, and premium currencies, but all actual story content is free. All future content updates, like new classes, additional dungeons, and new story quests, will be free as well.

To enable cross-progression with PC, you’ll need to log in to your Battle.net account via the Diablo Immortal app either before or after having selected a server and created a character. Your progress will then be synced across both PC and mobile. The game will launch on PC June 2. The game is also cross-play, with mobile players and PC players able to play on the same servers and group together for the game’s various dungeons, raids, and PvP content.

Diablo Immortal was announced in 2018 as mobile-only, with Blizzard only recently deciding to bring the game to PC. That decision was made because Blizzard realized many of the franchise’s biggest fans would likely play Diablo Immortal on PC via emulators, and decided to give players an official and polished way to experience the game on PC.

If you’re looking forward to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, both games are available to preorder now at major retailers and the Nintendo Switch eShop. Alongside a new gameplay trailer, Nintendo announced that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet release November 18, exclusively on Nintendo Switch. The ninth generation of Pokemon will introduce a new region to explore and new Pokemon to catch. Preorders are available for $60 at Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet preorder bonuses

Historically, Pokemon games include some sort of preorder bonus, but none are announced for Pokemon Scarlet (or Violet) yet. Pokemon Legends: Arceus, for example, offered a unique in-game mask item for preorder customers. Chances are Pokemon Scarlet (and Violet) will have extra pre-purchase items, too, and we’ll update this guide once information is available.

In addition to in-game bonuses, it’s possible we’ll see retailer-exclusive offers. Retailers such as Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target often have physical bonuses for Nintendo Switch exclusives, including some of the other Pokemon games on Switch.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet officially kick off the ninth Pokémon generation. As with any new mainline Pokemon game, there are three new starters to pick from: the grass-type kitten, Sprigatito; fire Pokemon Fuecoco, which look like a chili pepper-shaped alligator; and Quaxly, a water-type duck Pokemon with a poofy pompadour haircut. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Legendary Pokemon have been confirmed as Koraidon and Miradon. Even more new and returning Pokemon are sure to be confirmed ahead of Scarlet and Violet’s release.

As Pokemon Go Fest returns for 2022, Niantic is also bringing back Ultra Unlocks, a bonus that can be earned for upcoming events by completing Global Challenges with other players. For the first time, Niantic is offering multiple Ultra Unlocks for a number of its upcoming events, with challenges available at the four upcoming Pokemon Go Fest events.

The first chance to earn an Ultra Unlock bonus is coming up this weekend during the global Pokemon Go Fest ticketed event. If trainers worldwide manage to complete 20 Global Challenges across the two-day event, an Ultra Unlock event will be added to the upcoming Adventure Week.

Players don’t have to buy a ticket to contribute to the Ultra Unlock effort–while the Global Challenge Arena is only open to ticket-holders on June 4, it will then open up to all players for the remainder of the event on June 5.

The next bonus on offer will unlock an Ultra event for the Pokemon Go Fest finale event on August 27, and can be earned by completing the Berlin Pokemon Go Fest‘s Global Challenge. Trainers who aren’t able to be at the in-person events will still be able to contibute towards the Global Challenges.

Both the Seattle and Sapporo events will also have Global Challenges to unlock Ultra bonuses for future events that have yet to be announced by Niantic.

We won’t have details on what the Ultra Unlock bonuses will entail until they’re actually unlocked, with Niantic promising that information will be unveiled shortly after each Pokemon Go Fest event ends. Last year’s Ultra Unlock bonus involved a series of three themed events, with each making a variety of Pokemon, including Shiny versions of Legendary Pokemon Dialga and Palkia, easier to obtain.
