1-# Active Skill Gems
1+# Legion league
2+The Legion league and Hardcore Legion league were challenge leagues. They ran from June 7, 2019 to September 2, 2019.
23
3-[[Active skill gem]]s and [[support skill gem]]s are usually referred to as skill gems and support gem in in-game item mod and passive skills. In item filter and gaming community they are still refer as Skill gem.
4+In this league, players can find a Monolith in each zone. When approached, it will reveal a battle between Legions, frozen in time. Damaging the enemies while they are in stasis will free them when time resumes, where they can be fought and killed for loot. [[Legion]] enemies can drop splinters that form an Emblem of their [[Legion]]. Combining multiple of these Emblems in a Map Device opens a portal to the Domain of Timeless Conflict, where the heart of the conflict takes place. Items that can be found in this league include incubators that turn into valuable items after getting a certain amount of kills while bound to an equipment, a 5-slot Map Device, and Timeless Jewels that greatly alter passive skills around it - even Keystone passives.
45
5-Gems must be equipped in [[item socket]]s before their use. [[Active skill gem]]s grant an [[active skill]] for the player to use and are further augmented by linked support skill gems. There are currently 276 different active skill gems and 177 **support skill gems** in the game, for a total of 453.
6+All characters and stashes were moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the leagues ended. Characters that died in the Hardcore Legion league were immediately moved to the permanent Standard league.
67
7-Skill gems are not to be confused with [[passive skill]]s, which provide constant [[stat]]s and are mainly earned through [[character]] levelling. To avoid confusion, some players simply refer to both types of these items as "gems". The "Skill gem" in in-game modifier also refer to **Active skill gems** exclusively.

11-There are several methods of obtaining skills and support gems:
13+## League mechanic
14+Each area contains a Timeless Monolith. Interacting with the Monolith will reveal a battle between Legions, with the enemies in stasis. The player must deal enough damage to them before the timer runs out to break them out of stasis. Once the timer runs out, all the enemies you freed will become unfrozen and start attacking, where they can be killed. Enemies can have symbols above them, which indicate what type of loot they can drop. There are also chests and war hordes that contain loot, which must also be broken out of stasis.

13-- Earned through a quest reward (see [List of skill gems rewarded from quests](https://poedb.tw/us/Quest#QuestReward)).
14-- Purchased from town vendors once a certain quest is complete (see [List of skill gems rewarded from quests](https://poedb.tw/us/Quest#QuestReward)).
15- - Vendors in Acts 1-4 towns sell leveled skill gems. The available gems are based on the character's class and quest progression.
16- - [[Siosa]] in Act 3 sells all unleveled skill gems that can be received as quest rewards for quests you've completed, across all classes.
17- - [[Lilly Roth]] in Act 6, 10 and [[Karui Shores]] sells all unleveled skill gems after completing the Act 6 quest Fallen from Grace quest icon.png [[Fallen from Grace]].
18-- Vendor recipes (see [VendorRecipes](https://poedb.tw/us/VendorRecipes)).
19-- Random drop from monsters, chests and [strongboxes](https://poedb.tw/us/Chest)
20-- [[Vaal skill]] gems are obtained from Vaal Vessels in [corrupted areas](https://poedb.tw/us/Vaal_Orb#Corrupted_Area) or by [[corrupt]]ing a regular skill gem.
21-- As a reward for turning certain sets of [[DivinationCard]]s.
22-- [BestiaryRecipe](https://poedb.tw/us/CraftingBench#BestiaryRecipe)
16+Legion encounters can drop Timeless Splinters for the enemy's faction. 100 of these can be combined into an Emblem, which are used to open a portal to the Domain of Timeless Conflict. The type and number of emblems used to open the Domain will determine which enemies will appear.

26-### Experience
27-
28-- Socketed gems gain 10% of the experience your character earns, calculated before any level penalties.
29-- The number of gems you have equipped has no effect on the rate of experience gain.
30-- Gems do not lose experience when you die.
31-- Items with +experience% gain do affect gems.
32-- Gems socketed in inactive weapon slots do gain experience.
33-- Gems may be traded like normal items and they will retain their experience.
34-
35-Once a gem has enough experience to level up, it will stop gaining experience and a level–up icon will appear on the right of the screen and in the inventory menu. Left–clicking it will level up the gem, right–clicking the icon will hide it on the side of the screen, but it will still be accessible in the inventory menu. Not levelling up a gem is useful in some situations.
36-
37-As gems level up, the abilities they grant get better, but the requirements to equip them also increase, as well as the mana cost for active skills. Each gem level, the exile must have both the attribute corresponding to gem colour and a character level high enough to meet its increased requirements. If a gem gains enough experience to level up, but the exile currently does not meet the requirements, the level–up icon will appear greyed out and not be useable until the requirements are met. For specifics, see the lists of [[active skill]]s and **support gems** below.

46-- Voidhome

48-### Exceeding the level cap
49-
50-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.
51-
52-They can be placed in items with modifiers such as the Paragon's - +1 to Level of Socketed Gems (Prefix) or certain [[Corrupt]]ions, 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 (ignores level cap, suggest corrupting when the gem is at level 20).
53-
54-Attribute and level requirements no longer increase when using any of those methods with the exception of corrupting the gem itself.
55-
56-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 additional instances of the <span class="explicitMod">+2 to Level of Socketed Fire Gems</span> and <span class="explicitMod">+2 to Level of Socketed Cold Gems</span> modifiers via corruption, then socket a corrupted level 21 [[Elemental Hit]] gem in to the Frostferno item. This is now a level 29 Elemental Hit. Now support it with a corrupted level 4 Empower Support, increasing the Elemental Hit's level by 3 to bring it to level 32.
57-
58-## Quality
59-
60-A [[Gemcutter's Prism]] can be used to upgrade a gem's [[quality]]. Adding quality to a gem will add an additional effect to the skill. The exact modifications quality gives to the gem are displayed in the detailed view (hover over the item and hold Alt).
61-
62-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 <span class="explicitMod">3% quality</span> on a gem with <span class="explicitMod">0.5% effect</span> will only grant <span class="explicitMod">1% effect</span> 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.).
63-
64-Gems with alternate quality effects can be found in [[Grand Heist]]s. They are prefaced as "Anomalous", "Divergent", or "Phantasmal" instead of "Superior".
65-
66-## Corruption
67-
68-Like most items, gems can be [[corrupt]]ed 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. It's suggested that you apply Corruption to a Skill Gem when the Skill gem is at level 20, 20% quality or both in order for corruption to potentially exceed the cap.
69-
70-After the release of [[Incursion league]], it became possible to achieve "double-corruption" of a gem by using the Lapidary Lens device in [[The Temple of Atzoatl]]. The device corrupts a skill or a support gem twice, which makes possible to apply two different effects of corruption at once. This allows to receive a level 21 gem with 23% quality.
