How do I improve the quality of my jewel Poe?

In Path of Exile, jewels play a crucial role in modifying your character’s abilities and attributes. Improving the quality of your jewels can enhance their effectiveness and boost your overall performance. In this article, we’ll guide you on how to improve the quality of your jewels in Poe.

Changing the Quality of a Jewel

You can change the quality of any jewel by using the catalysts of your desired quality type at any point. The original quality gets overridden, and you’ll need to use 20 new catalysts to do so. This means you can increase the quality of your jewels at any level, but be aware that the higher the quality, the more resources you’ll need.

Corrupted Gems and Quality

Corrupted gems are gems with a modifier that can increase their quality and strength. If the gem is corrupted, you won’t be able to use crafting orbs to further modify it, except for modifying the sockets and socket links. Corrupting a gem also has a chance to raise a gem’s current level by 1, up to 1 above the level cap.

Anomalous Gems

Anomalous gems are alternate quality Portal gems that introduce an interesting quality effect. Quality Effect: (0.00-0.20)% chance to travel to Winding Pier instead while on a Ley Fishing Line.

Gem Leveling

Gem leveling is an essential aspect of Poe’s gameplay. Gems level up when they gain experience, which can improve their quality and effectiveness. To level up a gem, socket it in a piece of equipment and kill monsters. As the gem gains experience, it will level up and become more powerful.

Locking Gem Level

If you want to stop levelling a gem, RIGHT CLICK on the red + sign when it appears. This will remove the leveling option, and you can use the small red + icon in your inventory screen to level up the gem later if you decide to.

Important Notes

• Use crafting orbs to modify a gem’s sockets and socket links, but not its quality.
• Corrupting a gem also raises its current level by 1, up to 1 above the level cap.
• Higher-quality gems have a chance to corrupt, which can increase their strength and effectiveness.
• Be cautious when using catalysts to change a gem’s quality, as it may increase its level and required resources.
