Notes

• Secondary color gems will match either of their colors when socketed. For example, an orange gem can be used to activate an item bonus with a red or yellow socket.
• Secondary color gems will count toward both of their colors when activating a meta gem. For example, a meta gem that requires 5 red and 5 yellow gems can be activated with 5 orange gems.
• You can replace a gem already socketed in an item with another one, destroying only the gems you are replacing.
• A gem does not have to match its socket color to count toward a meta gem's bonus.
