Gem crafting is used to create powerful gems that grant your characters various stat buffs and passive perks. Each Gem can be leveled up 10 times, and the costs for each new level of Gem are considerably more than the last. This guide will break down all craftable Gems and their effects in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

All Gems and effects in Xenoblade Chronicles 3

Gems occupy one of four different categories. These categories are color-coded to match the Attacker, Defender, and Healer roles. Unlike previous Xenoblade games, crafting any Gem a single time allows anybody in your party to equip it simultaneously. This cuts down on the grind and the monotony of needing to craft the exact Gem multiple times for each party member.

You can unlock up to three Gem slots per character, and each Gem can be upgraded 10 times.
