Emeralds are one of the four types of [[gem]]s found in Diablo III. All stats Over the first year of Diablo 3, Emeralds held the most value (in Softcore) due to the huge damage boost they add to weapons. This is only true during the [[end game]], when characters have a high value in [[Critical hit Chance]]. At lower levels [[Rubies]] are based on Beta Client much better weapon sockets, and they become end game viable when [[Patch 1.0.47]] greatly buffed their damage. Emeralds are also coveted by [[Demon Hunters]] and [[Monks]] for the +[[Dexterity]] boost when socketed in armor. Emeralds are little-used in helms since [[Gold Find]] is not a much-sought after stat. It's been suggested that the helm bonus should be doubled or tripled, to make it more desirable to players. ==Emerald Changes== During the Beta test, Emeralds boosted [[Magic Find]] in helms.0This bonus was switched back to Topaz (as it was in Diablo 2) before Diablo 3's release and Emeralds became the helm Gold Find gem.7841
