Empower is a support gem that increases the gem level of supported active skill gems. Supports any skill gem. Once this gem reaches level 2 or above, will raise the level of supported gems. Cannot support skills that don"t come from gems. Exceptional, Support. Level: 1–3. Cost & Reservation Multiplier: 130%. Requires Level 1.
This is a Support Gem. It does not grant a bonus to your character, but to skills in sockets connected to it. Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Active Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket.
Empower only affects active skill gems, meaning skills granted from items can’t be supported by it. From PoE 3.15, you can no longer obtain Level 2 and higher versions of the Empower, Enhance and Enlighten Support Gems from league rewards. Level 4 versions can still be obtained from corruption and specific Divination Cards. |

Per 1% Quality: This Gem gains 5% increased Experience. A Gemcutter’s Prism (often abbreviated GCP) is a currency item that can be used to improve the quality of a gem. Each Gemcutter’s Prism will always raise the quality by 1%. The maximum quality is 20%.
(1) Increase the quality of Empower to 20%. It gains a 100% increased Experience.
(2) Use Haku weapon, you can search “Haku” weapons from PoE Trade, such as Haku’s Foul Staff, Haku’s Primordial Staff of the Combatant, etc. It has the “+7% to Quality of Socketed Gems” modifier. Therefore, it has a 35% increased Experience.
As a result, you can have up to +135% Experience.
Like most items, gems can be corrupted using a Vaal Orb. Corruption on gems can potentially lift the level or quality percentage of a gem above the maximum of 20. Corruption can also convert a gem into its Vaal skill equivalent, if one exists.
Each gem has a cap beyond which it can not gain any further experience and can not advance any more levels through experience; for most gems this cap is at 20. There are, however, ways to increase the level of a gem beyond 20.
They can be placed in items with modifiers such as the Paragon’s – +1 to Level of Socketed Gems (Prefix) prefix or certain Corruptions, or certain unique items such as Frostferno. They can also be linked with the support gems Empower Support, Awakened Added Fire Damage Support, Awakened Added Cold Damage Support, Awakened Added Lightning Damage Support, Awakened Added Chaos Damage Support, Awakened Blasphemy Support, and Awakened Generosity Support, and corrupting a gem can raise its level permanently.
Attribute and level requirements no longer increase when using any of those methods with the exception of corrupting the gem itself.
For example, by combining these three methods, the level of a skill gem can get as high as level 32. One way to do this is to have a Frostferno with two corruptions such as +2 to Level of Socketed Fire Gems and +2 toLevel of Socketed Cold Gems. Then, socket a corrupted level 21 Elemental Hit gem in that Frostferno. This is now a level 29 Elemental Hit. Then, support it with a corrupted level four Empower Support, increasing the Elemental Hit’s level by 3 to bring it to level 32.
