To make Legendary Gems more powerful, you’ll need to rank them up. This boosts the gem’s Combat Rating, Resonance Bonus, and its primary attributes. Once you’re at rank 3. another effect for the Legendary Gem is that it unlocks an additional effect, and once you reach rank 5, the gem will also reward bonus magic finds. Legendary Gems are upgradeable to up to rank 10. They can then be utilized to “awaken” a Legendary item, which can grant several additional effects contingent to the Legendary item that is activated.
The trouble is that getting ranked up Legendary Gems doesn’t come easy. To rank gems up you need to acquire duplicates of the gem along with a resource called Gem Power that is gained from the breakdown of unneeded Legendary Gems. The more powerful the gem and the higher its rank it has, the more duplicates are created and more Gem Power that is needed to move up D2R ladder items buy. Ranking higher in Legendary Gems is critical to boosting the power of your character.
