Jewels got a big overhaul in 1.1. They’re now easier to understand, more flexible, and work better with the new Fusion Forge system. Here’s what you need to know.

How Jewels Work Now

• Tiered Rolls: Instead of random % values from 0-100, jewels now roll in 5 fixed tiers. This makes it easier to get usable stats and to target upgrades.

• Fusion Forge: You can now combine two jewels using the new Fusion Forge. This lets you pick the best attributes from both and fuse them into one jewel.

• Cast Rate & Cooldown Buffed:

  • Cast Rate effects now roll between 12-24% (up from 10-25%).

  • Cooldown Reduction rolls between 8-12% (up from 6-12%).

Notable Jewel Changes by School

Blood

• Veil of Blood: Blood Nova jewel now scales properly (15-30% damage).

• Blood Rite: Fewer daggers from jewels (1-5 instead of 2-5) and lower damage scaling.

• Blood Rage: Physical damage boost lowered slightly, shield values reduced.

• Sanguine Coil: Healing jewel reduced to 14-30% (down from 15-50%).

Chaos

• Chaos Volley: Knockback jewel improved. Second hit damage jewel buffed (now 40-60%).

Unholy

• Veil of Bones: New jewel causes skeletons to explode after 3s, dealing 40-80% magic damage.

• Corpse Explosion & Ward of the Damned: Jewel skeletons can now detonate, but they can't attack while waiting to explode.

Illusion

• Veil of Illusion: New jewel lets your Illusion fire projectiles that inflict Weaken and grant Phantasm when recast.

• Mist Trance: Fear duration jewel nerfed to 0.8-1.6s (down from 1.2-2s).

Frost

• Veil of Frost: Shield jewels nerfed (now 20-40% instead of 36-60%).

• Cold Snap & Frost Barrier: Movement speed and spell power jewels reduced slightly.

Storm

• Discharge: Lost the jewel that made the player immaterial.

• Recast jewel: Now inflicts a fading snare instead of knockback.

General Jewel Rules in 1.1

• Stuns and knockbacks: Now have diminishing returns to prevent stacking abuses.

• Cast rate and cooldown: Easier to stack and more powerful than before.

• Synergy focus: Many jewels now reward focusing on a theme (like summoning skeletons or applying certain debuffs).

Jewels + Fusion Forge = Endgame Crafting

If you get two decent jewels, you can now:

• Head to the Fusion Forge (unlocked by beating Dantos the Forgebringer).

• Combine them into one, picking the best traits.

• Repeat until you’ve created god-tier jewels tailored to your exact build.

Final Blurb

In 1.1, jewels are no longer just random junk loot... they’re now a real part of your power growth. Target the right traits, fuse them carefully, and your build will go from pretty good to actual vampire menace.
