![]() Sockets that aren’t connected don’t have the option to be supported by anything, but those connected to multiple others has a chance of being supported by more than one! Therefore, connected sockets become exponentially more useful the more you can get. As you can see it has 4 sockets and all of them are connected by those lines. Here’s a chest piece I’ve got equipped and the gems socketed inside. I’ll give you an example of what I’m working on with my current character. Would it be optimal for you to do so? Not usually, but because raw gems that haven’t leveled up have extremely low stat requirements it can be an interesting to mix and match them. Vendors will sell a Witch different gems than a Duelist, but both of them can use any skills if they have the sockets and the stats. There are no items or skills exclusive to these classes, so the real reason to pick one over another is because they’ll have access to different things more quickly. They are the Marauder (Strength), Templar (Str/Int), Witch (Intelligence), Shadow (Int/Dex), Ranger (Dexterity), Duelist (Dex/Str), and the Scion (Int/Dex/Str). There are 7 classes to choose from in Path of Exile, and they each reflect an obvious optimization route. That’s because it opens up a world of possibilities. It also makes everything easier to balance. You may wonder what the point is of decoupling skills from classes. Warrior character it just isn’t as convenient.

There’s a natural synergy between Strength-heavy skill gems and the heavy plate armor you’d expect a brutish warrior to wear because of their tendency to have red sockets that can accommodate red Skill Gems. Red gems require more Strength to use as they level up, and they can only be placed in red Sockets, which tend to appear most frequently in heavy armor. Skill Gems come in three flavors: red, green, and blue. ![]() Yes, your gems level up independently of you. It’s weird. You can have multiples, and each can have different quality ratings and levels. ![]() You collect and possess these gems as if they were any other little trinket you can even trade them with other players or buy them from vendors for a little cash. You collect skills in the form of gems that must be embedded into your equipment before you can use them. Path of Exile has a drastically different approach. Most RPGs happily follow the Dungeons & Dragons model by having you pick a class and unlock their skills as you level up. In Part Two we delve into the unusual Skill Gem system and all its implications. Path of Exile is the best dungeon crawler in the world right now.
