Legendary Gems in Diablo Immortal are gems that can only be fitted into Primary Slot items with 1 socket available. New players often underestimate the value of Legendary Gems, since the lower-level ones in particular don’t seem to offer much of value. However, they are an important a part of your gearing strategy, and you’re leaving power on the table by ignoring them. Understanding how to acquire Legendary Gems and upgrade their power will be a key strategy to overall success in Sanctuary.
Best Legendary Gems in Diablo Immortal
What is best for your character will vary by class and playstyle, as well as whether you are playing PvP or PvE, solo or group, or in Dungeons and Rifts. However, these will be the most important one for most classes and builds.
Any other Legendary Gem coming your way can be salvaged into Power Essence to upgrade your main Legendary Gems up to Rank 10.

Obtaining Legendary Gems In Diablo Immortal
You can obtain Legendary Gems directly one of several different ways:

Crafting by trading in Runes and Platinum to the Apprentice Jeweler*
Purchased from other players through the Market for Platinum
Purchased from the Fading Embers trader (1-star and 2-star only; stock rotates weekly)
Acquired through the paid Battle Pass
*Only 1-Star and most 2-Star gems can be crafted, except through the Random Legendary Gem recipe.
Players can sell Legendary Gems of different ranks to one another in the Market for Platinum. The Market will show what gems are available; clicking on a gem will bring up various ranks available, with prices offered.

Defiant Souls of different rank on offer
By far the most sure source of farming Legendary Gems of all types is by running Elder Rifts with Legendary Crests. For more information about Elder Rifts, please see our guide:
Star Count and Gem Rank
All Legendary Gems have two systems to determine their power: Star Count and Rank.
A gem’s Star Count measures its relative power to other Legendary Gems. There are currently three possible Star Counts: 1-Star, 2-Star, and 5-Star. The Star Count on a gem is predetermined; a Trickshot Gem is always a 1-Star gem and a Howler’s Call is always a 5-Star.
All Legendary Gems:
Increase base stats of the socketed item
Give bonuses to Combat Rating
Add bonuses to Magic Find once upgraded (5% for 1-star, 10% for 2-star, and 15% for 5-star)
The higher the Star Count of the Legendary Gem, the more it will increase stats the base stats of the socketed item, your Combat Rating, and Magic Find. For this reason, a 5-star Legendary Gem with a less desirable ability will often contribute more to player power than a 1-star or 2-star gem with a “better” ability.
However, with 5-Star Legendary Gems, the Star Count on a gem represents a maximum possible value, not a guaranteed value. A 1-Star Legendary Gem always has 1 star, and a 2-Star will always have 2 stars, but a 5-Star gem can drop or be crafted with anywhere from 2-5 Stars. The actual number of stars you get on a 5-Star gem is random, with 2 stars being most common and 5 stars being the unicorn. A 5-star gem with only 2 or 3 stars will offer less powerful modifiers than a 5-Star gem that’s actually got 5 stars. However, a 5-Star Legendary with only 2 stars will still provide better bonuses than most 2-Star gems, so it’s still worth seeking. They are also useful for upgrading better Legendary Gems.
You cannot change the number of actual stars a 5-Star gem has; the roll is determined randomly when it is created or drops and cannot be changed. You may wish to save lower-star gems as materials for upgrading.
For example, in an Elder Rift empowered with a Legendary Crest, there is a 4.5% chance of getting a 5-star Legendary Gem per Legendary Crest invested (each rolls on its own; this isn’t cumulative). If a 5-star Legendary Gem drops, it has the following chances of having different Star Counts. This likely applies to all other Legendary Gem drops as well, not just in Elder Rifts.

Gem Rank, on the other hand, can be upgraded through Rank 10, which will also increase its power. Legendary Gems start with Rank 1 and can be leveled up to Rank 10. At Rank 5, all Legendary Gems add a new attribute which boosts Magic Find by 5% (1-Star), 10% (2-Star), or 15% (5-Star). A guide about upgrading and crafting gems will be released shortly before release.
