Incubation Effect: Quality Gem

Both active and support skill gems may have quality. Every skill is affected by quality differently, but frequently it somehow improves the damage dealt with the skill. Buffs and curses, obviously, do not have their damage improved. Even those that do have their damage improved will see different rates of improvement for a given amount of quality.

The quality of skill gems may be improved with a Gemcutter’s Prism Gemcutter’s Prism. These upgrades always improve a skill’s quality by 1%. Alternatively, a level 20 skill gem and a Gemcutter’s Prism Gemcutter’s Prism can be sold for a level 1 gem with 20% quality.

The effect of quality scales with the base quality effect, however, only whole numbers will be granted (and thus the effect will always be rounded down); for example 3% quality on a gem with 0.5% effect will only grant 1% effect and not 1.5% effect. Effects that have some degree of fractions naturally are rounded to their natural bases (i.e. seconds will be rounded to milliseconds, etc.).

It is possible to get a gem’s quality above 20% through corruption, the use of Enhance Enhance Support and certain gear.
