Legendary Gems are gems in Diablo III that are only socketable in amulets and rings. Most of these gems can only drop from Rift Guardians in Greater Rifts, though one can be found as a drop from Greed in the Treasure Realm. In addition to the gems being unique equipped and account bound, any one character can not even receive any gem that they already have in their possession, including the shared stash. The gems are dropped at Rank 0 and can be upgraded by speaking with Urshi.[1] Legendary gems do not work when equipped on a follower.[2]

The Legendary Gems are not account-unique, but a character will never get a gem that they already have in inventory, equipped on follower, equipped on themselves, or in the shared stash, or socketed into any item in any of the listed places.

Upgrading

These gems can be upgraded by speaking with Urshi, who will appear on every level of a Greater Rift after the Rift Guardian has been defeated on that level. It does not cost anything to upgrade the gem. The blue property on the gem is the only property that will be upgraded. The upgrade success rate will increase as the Greater Rift level increases, but it also decreases with the rank of the gem, i.e. one will need higher Tier to even have a chance to upgrade the high-level gems.

General rule is that the chance to upgrade is 100% as long as rank of the rift is at least 10 ranks higher than the rank of the gem. When the rift rank is lower than that, the chance decreases, first to 90% (1 rank), then 80%, 70% and 60% (0-5 ranks difference), then to 30% (1 rank below), then cut in half for every rank after that (15%, 7.5%, 3.75%, etc), and becomes 0% when the difference reaches 7 ranks. In other words, to get the rank 25 bonus, the player must be able to clear a rank 25 rift, i.e. be geared well enough for Torment VI, and to have a 100% chance to upgrade a level 25 gem, they need to clear a level 35 rift. The detailed chart can be found here.

The maximum number of attempts Urshi can offer per run is three. When the gem reaches rank 25, it will gain a secondary power, which is not empowered by further rank increases.[4]
