Amethyst

Amethysts are one of the five types of gems found in Diablo III. The others are Ruby, Emerald, Topaz, and Diamonds, the last added in Patch 2.0.1 and Reaper of Souls. See the main gems article for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more.

Amethysts are the vitality/healing gem, adding life% in helms, vitality in armor, and Life per Hit in Weapons. They are much more valued in Hardcore than normal play mode.


Patch 2.1 Healing Buffs

All healing skills and regeneration was buffed greatly in Patch 2.1 in August 2014, with huge increases in value for the highest level Amethysts, found only in Reaper of Souls.

The amount of Life on Hit provided by the top 4 ranks of Amethysts has been significantly increased
  • Imperial increased from 800 to 3000
  • Flawless Imperial increased from 900 to 6400
  • Royal increased from 1000 to 8800
  • Flawless Royal increased from 1100 to 11200
