With Season 7 entering Diablo 4, Witchcraft Powers have become a new seasonal mechanic. Under this mechanic, all Classes you use in the game can use it to exert more powerful power. But if you want to maximize the role of Witchcraft Powers, then you may need to use the help of Occult Gems.
Diablo 4 Occult Gems are very powerful new gems in the new season. You can place them in Jewelry slots in your build to enhance the Witchcraft Power you use, providing 160 Armor, 8% Resistance that is effective against all elemental damage, and an Occult Power to kill those demonic enemies faster. Since they are all available gear in the game, this means that it can be crafted and has a difference in rarity.
Based on all the information currently released, this guide will introduce you to how to obtain Occult Gems in Diablo 4 Season 7 and the specific functions of each gem, so that you can choose the gem that best suits you according to your character build and gameplay.
How To Get Occult Gems?
First of all, you need to go to Tree of Whispers and find a Coven Jeweler named Glena, which is your one-stop shop for crafting Occult Gems. It should be noted that you can only get the gems you need through crafting, so you need to defeat Headrotten Bosses in Headhunt missions and obtain the missing Fugitive Heads as your crafting materials.
It is worth mentioning that if you have a lot of time, you can farm Restless Rot and Diablo 4 Gold in this area by constantly killing Headrotten Bosses and exchanging Fugitive Heads with Glena, which are very important currencies in the game.
Or you can also synthesize the specified Occult Gems by collecting Gem Fragments and Gem Dust during your exploration in Season 7. As just mentioned, they will also have different rarity as gear in Diablo 4, so they can also be upgraded through crafting.
Currently, Occult Gems are divided into three categories: Magic, Rare, and Legendary. Magic Occult Gems only require 1 Fugitive Head, 1,000 Restless Rot, and 50,000 Fragments of the specified gem to craft. To craft a Rare Occult Gem, you will need two specific Magic Occult Gems and 75,000 Skull Fragments.
The rarest Legendary Occult Gems require 2 specific Magic Occult Gems, 1 specific Rare Occult Gem, and 100,000 Diamond Fragments to obtain. Therefore, you should save as much materials as possible while farming the area, so that you can upgrade your Occult Gems to the highest level at the right time. With the very rare Legendary Occult Gems, you may face less difficulties in the battle, so it may be easier for you to pick up the last Diablo 4 Gold and other loot rewards.
