Designing the Legion Jewels - Part One

Still apprehensive that these will become a scammer's dream, in the absence of any trustworthy list of what each seed does.

Trading them cannot be done securely without uploading video of what effects they have.

what the hell u talking abaout ? no wiki, no picture, we are not special player, we dont leech information day by day...

Wait, I though your association w GGG ended years ago?

Notables and small nodes they corrupt are way better than the keystones. #lesshyped

I agree with you. Some of the keystone corruptions are so niche that the downside of the keystone can be far greater than the corruption given by the seeds if an active keystone is too close to the radius. So a few spots on the tree are privileged to a lack of heavy downsides, or so I think. But still, it's cool to learn how GGG came to design them. In my opinion they're one of the most interesting pieces of equipment ever released into the game.

If you're looking for information on how the jewels work, it's available if you just take the time to look - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2526692

GGG has a long history of encouraging us players to figure out the new toys they give us to play with.

Anyway, thanks for the insight, Hrishi! Looking forward to the next two. :)

Path of Building long sleep, no update uniq jewels. R.I.P.

Only you could write a news post with a cliffhanger, Hrishi. Fine work, sir. Fine work.

Oh, and the jewels are a cool idea too. ;)

Edit: And because he's too humble to point this out, Hrishi designed one of the most beloved keystones in the game, Mind Over Matter, when he was still just a player. Some of you might recognise the inspiration of his avatar, especially those who see the spirit of Mark Rosewater in Hrishi's approach to design.

Pretty sure Hrishikesh is a female name, right?

i really love those jewels! i think they are awesome!!!
have 2 questions though:
1. why is Brutal restraint jewel so rare? from what i can see its result not much better than other to jastify this rarity? (can you please make it much more common?)
2. its really REALLY annoying that you dont know what you buying / getting (almost impposible to buy, on every other ascpet of this game you know what you get when you buy the item).
im sure you have the results of each jewel corruption on each jewel slot.
please make this knowladw public somehow!

thank you!

The jewels are amazing, just wish there was a way to tell what they had while trading. You basically have to take people's word for it instead of it just saying on the jewel like it probably should...
