PoE 2 Gems

Buy uncut gems when you need levels or numbers, and lineage gems when your build guide names a specific support. Uncut gems are flexible. You choose the skill or support when you cut them, so one order can cover a whole respec.

Lineage gems are the opposite. Each one has a fixed name, like Rakiata's Flow or Uul-Netol's Embrace, and no uncut gem can produce it. They are usually the last piece of an endgame setup. Order them once the rest of the build is in place.

Match the gem level to what your character can equip today. Every level in the calculators shows its character level requirement, from level 1 for Uncut Skill Gem I to level 90 for level XX.

• Campaign: low skill gem levels and support tiers I to III. A character still in the acts gains more from finishing the acts than from high gems.
• Interludes and early maps: skill gems around XIII to XV, support tiers IV and V, and your first spirit gems.
• Endgame: skill and spirit gems at XIX and XX for the main skill and key buffs, plus the lineage supports your build depends on.

Every gem order arrives by in-game trade. After payment the best-rated booster is assigned, usually within 15 minutes, and agrees a time with you in the order chat. You check levels and names in the trade window and accept, and the booster adds a screenshot of the result before you confirm.

The uncut cards cover Forbidden Rites, Runes of Aldur and Standard in Softcore and Hardcore. Lineage gems cover Forbidden Rites Softcore and both Runes of Aldur modes. If you are unsure which gems your skills need, a PoE 2 build check sorts it out before you spend. Complete setups are in PoE 2 builds, and the full catalog is on the PoE 2 boost page.
