Otherwise the order you’ll find them in is random. The first Gem you get this way is always Bane of the Powerful, and Legacy of Dreams has a significantly higher drop chance compared to others and is usually found soon after. If you do not have all Legendary Gems collected, the Rift Guardian is guaranteed to drop one you are missing. These upgrade attempts can be used on any Gem that you have on your character or in your shared stash.Īll legendary Gems have a primary and secondary effect that is unlocked at rank 25. You get 3 base upgrade attempts, one more if you don't die for the entire rift and another one if you pay Gold to empower the Greater Rift before entering it.
When you complete a Greater Rift within the 15 minute time, you’re rewarded with Legendary Gem upgrades by talking to Urshi (who spawns next to slain Rift Guardian) making them more powerful! The chance of successful upgrade is based on the Greater Rift tier related to the Gem's rank.
The Gem effects vary from increasing your damage, to giving you massive shields, to tremendously boosting your character's survivability.
21 of these can be found as a reward for killing the Rift Guardian in Greater Rifts. There are a total of 23 legendary gems with different strengths and weaknesses in Diablo III.
