[[File:Legem-interface-live1.jpg|thumb|300px|Legendary Gem interface window.]]Legendary Gems will be (or LGems or LeGems) were added to [[Reaper of Souls ]] in [[Patch 2.1]], and are currently undergoing after extensive testing on the [[PTR]]. The items There are 14 types of Legendary Gems, all of which add a special bonuses bonus when socketed in rings and amulets (only on Chars and not on Followers). The value of the bonus increases with each rank the gem is upgraded, up to a maximum of 25, and can be upgraded in at that level a special secondary power via [[Urshi]], the NPC who appears only in [[Greater Rifts]]is unlocked.
While the developers are calling them "legendary gems" these socketables have nothing in common with regular [[gems]] in stats or appearance, and are more analogous to the {{iw|Unique_Jewels Rainbow Facet unique jewels}} of Diablo 2. The main difference in Diablo 3 is that these gems can only be socketed in jewelry, and the way the gems can be upgraded to improve their functions over time.

At 50 yards, I expect you to be in range to actually still use your skills (crazy right?).
The stats of Legendary Gems changed constantly while they were undergoing development on the PTR. A major revision was created on July 15, 2014 with new or upgraded stats for almost every gem.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/legendary-gems-ptr-placeholders Legendary Gem Updates] - John Yang, 15/07/2014</ref> More changes came August 5th with a patch that changed the [[Enforcer]] gem, and completely reworked the upgrading system, changing legendary gems from 50 to 200 ranks. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-ptr-2-1-0-patch-notes-5-august/comment-page-1?cpage==1#comment-8649488 Legendary Gem Upgrade Odds==changes] - August 5th PTR Patch 5/08/2014</ref> Another patch later in August reduced the total ranks, removed multi-level upgrades, gave 3 chances to upgrade, and changed the secondary property to unlock at rank 25.
==Gem Upgrade Development==
That system was changed again late in the PTR, with the ranks cut from 200 to 25, and a whole new system of upgrade odds implemented, based on the difference in level between the gem and the Grift. Those odds were the final system which went live a few weeks later.
