* [[RubieRuby|Rubies]]s

The bonuses from gems of the same type stack, so if you had two [[Ruby|rubies]] in a sword, the [[fire]] damage would be added together. It is arithmetic, never geometric, so if you had say three [[sapphire]]s, all of them chilling for 3 seconds, you wouldn't move up to freezing the monster, you'd just chill it for longer. The same goes for other gems. For example rubies add fire damage to your attack. Three perfect rubies would do a lot of fire damage, but they wouldn't create a small firewall under the monster.

Multiple of the same type, the duration adds, the damage is squared. 2 = 4x damage over 2 seconds, 3 = 9x damage over 3 seconds, etc. Adding other types of [[poison]] damage from [[jewel]]s in [[body armor|armor]]/[[helm]]/[[shield]], poison [[charms]], [[unique armor]], etc can create considerable, long-lasting damage. {| width="95%"! width=10% | Quality!!

===Topazes===[[{{:Topaz]] are very popular in armor and helms for the [[Magic Find]] bonuses they provide.}}

==={{:Skulls===In the early days of D2C, socketed skulls were hugely popular for the dual leech they added. They are seldom used for that property anymore, as most players have far better item options, but they can still be helpful, especially in weapons for players without access to Amn runes or other forms of leech.}}
