Explore Diablo Immortal's New Gem & Crafting Updates

Introduction

Diablo Immortal just received a significant upgrade featuring a fresh 5-Star gem, revamped crafting options, and a sleek cosmetic. While some players are already stocking up Legendary Crests for a better chance at the new Colossus Engine gem, others are investigating the weekly crafting caps and the uncertain enchant system. Below is a quick rundown of what you can expect and how you might plan your next moves.

The Colossus Engine Gem

A standout highlight in this patch is the Colossus Engine gem. During the current event window (around 25 days from its start), any dropped 5-Star gem from your Legendary Crest pulls gets a 50% shot at being the new gem. That’s enough reason for many players to hoard their Crests in hopes of snagging a Colossus Engine before the event wraps up.

Waiting until you gather a big batch of Crests—like 60 to 100—lets you take advantage of that 50% chance multiple times. You might want to hold out for any side events (like Mirrored Jewels) that could coincide, further boosting your overall rewards. If a major event surfaces before the current one ends, those Legendary Crests could deliver even more value.

Crafting Changes & Weekly Caps

The new crafting system brings a welcome way to create gear, skill stones, and more. However, it comes with weekly caps on materials like Iron Ore, Stained Remains, Rotolite, and Silver Ore. Each has its own weekly limit, making it trickier to produce lots of high-end gear at once.

• Iron Ore: 150 weekly limit
• Stained Remains: 150 weekly limit
• Rotolite: 6 weekly limit
• Silver Ore: 150 weekly limit

Rotolites are especially vital if you plan on selecting a specific magic attribute or aiming for better gear quality. Since you can only get six of these per week, you’re limited to one “fine craft” attempt weekly—an increase in potential quality rather than a sure thing. Many players wish these caps were removed so they could chase more gear without feeling restricted.

Skill Stones & Charms

For those who’ve found the charm system awkward, the ability to craft skill stones might be a small relief. You can create skill stones from regular farming drops, potentially landing better skills more often. While it doesn’t completely fix how charms work, at least there’s a more direct path to obtaining them than the old approach.

Terror Essences & Enchanting

Enchanting new gear with Terror Essences can be pricey. You need 10 of them for a single shot at improving a magic attribute, which is a heavy requirement if you aim to perfect your equipment. Since it takes real effort to farm these Essences, you might want to plan your enchanting carefully. Only chase the attributes that truly matter for your build to keep from wasting valuable resources.

Event Rewards & Polished Cores

There’s an event running that grants Titanic Pearls for every Eternal Legendary Crest or Legendary Crest you use. These pearls are used to claim Polished Cores, which can push a 2/5-Star gem to 3/5, or a 3/5-Star gem to 4/5. This could be worthwhile if you’ve got a stockpile of free Crests or plan to buy them. Still, burning Orebux just for Polished Cores might not be the best plan unless you’re set on leveling your new gem as fast as possible.

Potential Druid Class & New Cosmetic

Many fans suspect the Druid might be arriving soon, hinted at by the forest zones and nature-themed updates. Nothing is certain, but if you’re looking to shake up your playstyle, keep an eye on future patches for a new class announcement. Meanwhile, the new ice-themed cosmetic is turning heads with its blue-white glow. It’s part of a Phantom Market pull, though some players were lucky enough to get codes from Blizzard.

Balancing Multiple Games

Some players and content creators are currently splitting their time between Diablo Immortal and new releases, like Supercell’s Moco. That can slow down Diablo Immortal progress, but rest assured the big events and crafting changes will still be here when you return. If you’re juggling multiple titles, consider focusing on your main goals in Immortal: farming materials for that big gem pull or carefully upgrading gear.

Final Thoughts

It’s an exciting time to be in Diablo Immortal, whether you’re chasing the Colossus Engine gem, testing out the new crafting system, or waiting for a rumored Druid class. Remember to keep an eye on any overlapping events, watch your weekly caps, and plan your Legendary Crest usage for maximum benefit. After all, a little patience can lead to powerful upgrades and an even more formidable hero.

Enjoy the hunt for that shiny new gem, and drop by any live stream events that fellow players or content creators host—you might pick up extra tips or just share in the hype. Good luck out there!
