Use a Facetor’s Lens to add experience to a Gem. Facetor’s Lens adds stored experience to a gem, up to its maximum level.
Corrupt a Gem to become either level 21 or 23% Quality. Vaal Orb corrupts a gem: add or subtract 1-10 quality, add or subtract one level, no effect (other than adding the corrupted property), Change the gem to its corresponding Vaal Gem.
Use the Lapidary Lens. Doryani’s Institute is the tier 3 incursion room of Zalatl, Architect of Thaumaturgy. The room contains a device called Lapidary Lens. It "double corrupts" a skill or a support gem. When used, functions as if two Vaal Orbs were applied at once.
Have a socketed Skill Gem reach 51% quality or higher. 1. 20%+ quality gem. 2. Enhance Support +(0-24)% to Quality of Supported Active Skill Gems. 3. Item with “#% to Quality of Socketed Gems”. +(6-50)% to Quality of Socketed Gems. Search.
Here’s how you can complete six out of the listed Path of Exile (PoE) Gem tasks:
Tasks you can complete without directly affecting equipped gems:
Use a Facetor’s Lens to add experience to a Gem: Acquire a Facetor’s Lens (through Divine Font or Harvest Crafting) and use it on a spare, unlinked gem you don’t mind leveling.
Corrupt a Gem to become either level 21 or 23% Quality (Risky): Use a Vaal Orb on a spare level 20, quality 20 gem (any type) and hope for the desired outcome. This is risky because there’s a chance the gem won’t level up, gain quality, or even transform into a unusable version. It’s recommended to use a spare gem for this task.
Tasks that require equipping specific gems:
Have at least 6 support effects applying to a single skill gem at once: Link your desired skill gem with at least six different support gems that provide unique effects. You can experiment with different combinations to achieve this.
Transform a Gem into a Transfigured Version (if you have access to the Labyrinth): Complete Labyrinth runs and look for Transfigured versions of a gem type you have. If you find one, use the Divine Font crafting option to transform another non-Transfigured version of the same gem type.
Tasks that require significant investment or time:
These tasks are mentioned for completeness, but be aware they require more effort or resources.
Have a Socketed Skill Gem reach level 26 or higher (Not directly possible): While directly reaching level 26 isn’t possible, you can achieve similar power by using a combination of:
Level 20 Skill Gem: As the base.
Support Gems: Linking your skill with Empower Support (adds levels) and similar gems can effectively increase its power.
Item Modifiers: Equipping items with bonuses to skill gem level (e.g., +1 to Bow Gems) can further enhance the effective level.
Have a socketed Skill Gem reach 51% quality or higher (Very Time-consuming): This requires extensive grinding or significant investment.
You can use Gemcutter’s Prisms to slowly increase quality, but this can be slow.
Alternatively, buying a high-quality gem from other players might be an option, but this requires currency.
Leveling an Awakened Gem to level 5 is another challenging task, but here are some options (separate from the above six):
Utilize Harvest Crafting (if available) to sacrifice corrupted gems for a Facetor’s Lens with high EXP and use it on the Awakened Gem (not recommended for beginners).
Run high-tier maps and kill monsters to slowly gain EXP for the Awakened Gem (very time-consuming).
Purchase a leveled Awakened Gem from other players (fastest option, but requires currency).
Remember, these are just suggestions. Choose the tasks that best suit your current resources and goals!
