To improve your power and efficiency, Diablo 4 has introduced gems. The Crude Diamond is one of such gems and the lowest in the Diamond family. Different types of equipment can have the Crude Diamond as a socket, which results in various benefits depending on the item it is used with. In this guide, we are going to discuss about Crude Diamond effects and how you can make its powers better in Diablo 4.

Crude Diamond Effects

By placing it into weapons, you get a bonus of ultimate skill damage when you use Crude Diamond. This percentage ranges from +1% to +4%. Increased ultimate skill damage can improve your character's offense significantly, allowing you to hit harder at your enemies.

On being set inside an armor; however, Crude Diamond improves barrier generation. This bonus ranges from +1% to +4% thereby giving more protection and durability against incoming attacks. Barrier generation is very important for characters who rely on damage mitigation and survival as it helps them fortify their armor.

When fixed into jewelry instead, Crude Diamonds provides Resistance to All Elements that varies from +1% to +4%. With this jewelry equipped with crude diamond, your character will exhibit increased overall elemental resistance making him or her more resistant towards fire, cold, lightening among others.

Upgrading Crude Diamond

You have the option of upgrading it to a higher tier so that it becomes more effective than it currently is. To turn this gem into better quality ones, you need three gems of similar type plus some gold. As a result, after upgrading Crude Diamond its stats will be improved alongside getting bonuses for certain gear categories.

Although Crude Diamond is already the lowest tier possible, gamers may have it upgraded up to Chipped diamond –the next level gemstone tier available out there. Therefore as people advance further in playing the game and getting higher-tier gems they can keep updating their Crude Diamond to enable them unlock additional stronger effects.

Socketing Crude Diamond

Gems in Diablo 4 are extremely flexible. The Jeweler NPC can remove and replace all the gems in your gear without causing any damage to them. This means that you can swap gems freely among your different pieces of equipment, enabling you to experiment with various combinations of gear and optimize your character's build.

Besides upgrading armor and weapons at The Blacksmith, players can also improve the bonus resistances and extra stats on their rings and amulets by visiting the Jeweler. Your jewelry crammed with crude diamond will increase elemental resistance for your character as well as a general rise in power.
