Emeralds are one of the four five types of [[gem]]s found in Diablo III. The others are [[Amethyst]], [[Emerald]], [[Topaz]], and [[Diamonds]], 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.
Emeralds are also coveted by is generally the most popular gem to socket into a weapon in the [[Demon Huntersend game]] and [[Monks]] for , since well-geared characters, especially those with high Critical hit Chance, get the +[[Dexterity]] boost when socketed most benefit out of raising their Critical hit Damage. Emeralds are much less useful in armorweapons for lower level or poorly-geared characters who do not have at least 25% ChC.
Emeralds are little-also used by Monks and Demon Hunters to boost their dexterity and damage in helms armor. Helms are the only non-viable socketing option for Emeralds, since [[Gold Find]] is not a much-sought after statalmost every player feels that there are many better choices to fill the hole in their head. It's has often been suggested that the Emerald in helm bonus should be doubled or tripled, (or more) to make it that a more desirable to playersviable option.
