Topazes are one of the four types of [[gem]]s found in Diablo III.

Topaz are one of the five types of [[gem]]s found in Diablo III.  The others are [[Amethyst]], [[Emerald]], [[Ruby]], and [[Diamond]], the last added in [[Patch 2.0.1]] and [[Reaper of Souls]].  See [[gems|the main gems article]] for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more.
  
Over the first year of Diablo 3, the Topaz became the least popular gem overall, between Hardcore and softcore players.  It enjoys some popularity for Magic Find in helms, but the reflects damage modifier (and [[Thorns]] in general) is useless in Diablo 3 (as of the v1.0.7 patch) which gives the Topaz no value in weapons.

Topaz boost Intelligence when socketed in armor, add [[Thorns]] damage in weapons, and [[Magic Find]] in helms.
  
Adding intelligence in armor is useful for [[Witch Doctor]]s and [[Wizard]]s, but those are two of the least popular classes (again, as of v1.0.7), hence Topazes have a fairly low value and price.

The Topaz has generally been the least popular gem, with the Thorns build far from viable at any time prior to Reaper of Souls. Magic Find from the helm had some popularity, and Wizards and Witch Doctors enjoyed topaz in their armor, though more in Softcore than Hardcore.

Topaz became more popular in Reaper of Souls with improvements to Thorns, as well as the greatly-increased mainstat bonuses from the higher level gems.  With Flawless Royal gems yielding 280 to mainstat, Wiz/WD players found great damage benefit, plus INT's secondary property of adding 1 point of Resist All for every 10 points of INT gave high level Topaz a good defensive bonus as well, providing nearly half the value of a Diamond socketed in armor.

During the Beta test, Topaz granted Gold Find instead of Magic Find (this bonus switched with Emeralds). Topaz were also set to boost Defense when socketed in "other" type of items. They grant +Intelligence from such sockets in the final game.

Revision as of 12:31, 6 March 2014

Topaz are one of the five types of gems found in Diablo III. The others are Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, and Diamond, the last added in Patch 2.0.1 and Reaper of Souls. See the main gems article for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more.

Topaz boost Intelligence when socketed in armor, add Thorns damage in weapons, and Magic Find in helms.

The Topaz has generally been the least popular gem, with the Thorns build far from viable at any time prior to Reaper of Souls. Magic Find from the helm had some popularity, and Wizards and Witch Doctors enjoyed topaz in their armor, though more in Softcore than Hardcore.

Topaz became more popular in Reaper of Souls with improvements to Thorns, as well as the greatly-increased mainstat bonuses from the higher level gems. With Flawless Royal gems yielding 280 to mainstat, Wiz/WD players found great damage benefit, plus INT's secondary property of adding 1 point of Resist All for every 10 points of INT gave high level Topaz a good defensive bonus as well, providing nearly half the value of a Diamond socketed in armor.
