📈 Levels and XP

A socketed gem grows with you.

Gem	Gains XP from
Weapon runes, relics	Hits and kills
Bow gems	Arrows that hit, and kills
Wards (armour)	Hits you take, and kills
Tool gems	Blocks you mine

Each gain shows on the action bar, with the XP of each gem:

When a gem levels up, a title appears and its numbers improve. When it reaches a new tier, it also changes appearance and you get a toast in the corner:

Reaching Radiant is shown in full screen.

Good to know:

• The shipped support gems do not gain XP.
• A gem at its maximum level stops gaining XP.
• A gem keeps its level and XP when you take it out with a Gem Extractor.
• XP from hits is added when you kill something, and counts up to 20 hits per kill. Hitting a training dummy gives no XP.
• The XP of tool gems does not count in creative mode.

The other way to level up is to fuse 3 identical gems at a forge.
