Topazes Topaz are one of the four five types of [[gem]]s found in Diablo III. The others are [[Amethyst]], [[Emerald]], [[Ruby]], and [[Diamond]], the last added in [[Patch 2.0.1]] and [[Reaper of Souls]]. See [[gems|the main gems article]] for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more.
Over the first year of Diablo 3, the Topaz became the least popular gem overallboost Intelligence when socketed in armor, between Hardcore and softcore players. It enjoys some popularity for Magic Find add [[Thorns]] damage in helmsweapons, but the reflects damage modifier (and [[ThornsMagic Find]] in general) is useless in Diablo 3 (as of the v1.0.7 patch) which gives the Topaz no value in weaponshelms.
Adding intelligence in armor is useful for [[Witch Doctor]]s and [[Wizard]]s, but those are two of The Topaz has generally been the least popular classes (againgem, as with the Thorns build far from viable at any time prior to Reaper of v1Souls.0.7)Magic Find from the helm had some popularity, hence Topazes have a fairly low value and priceWizards and Witch Doctors enjoyed topaz in their armor, though more in Softcore than Hardcore.
Topaz became more popular in Reaper of Souls with improvements to Thorns, as well as the greatly-increased mainstat bonuses from the higher level gems. With Flawless Royal gems yielding 280 to mainstat, Wiz/WD players found great damage benefit, plus INT's secondary property of adding 1 point of Resist All for every 10 points of INT gave high level Topaz a good defensive bonus as well, providing nearly half the value of a Diamond socketed in armor.
==Development Changes==
During the Beta test, Topaz granted Gold Find instead of Magic Find (this bonus switched with Emeralds). Topaz were also set to boost Defense when socketed in "other" type of items. They grant +Intelligence from such sockets in the final game.
