Since the jeweler can craft rings and amulets, it is speculated that the crafting materials will be the same ones the blacksmith uses. If not, then these items may use gems and reagents from salvaged gems (gem dust) or combined with blacksmithing materials.It has been known since it showed up on the official site, that Jewelers can create gems. There are a lot of people speculating that creating a level 14 gem takes an extraordinary amount of time or money to do. I’m Oligopoly on the official Diablo forums if anyone is wondering. We don’t believe this to be true and these speculations are a bit exaggerated. These people assume you have to farm for these gems one by one and slowly combine them to tier 14. What they fail to realize is that gems can be created by the jeweler and be bought on the auction house. A blue post has said that it won’t be impossible, but a slow progression. You don’t expect them to just hand you tier 14 gems right? From the recent datamined info, an reagent called “gem dust” was found. We are assuming that this crafting material comes from salvaging a gem. There only seems to be one tier of this gem dust.
Game Play and Design
Much like the two original games in the series, Diablo III is primarily about three matters:
Slaying Monsters: Thwart the demonic forces of the Burning Hells.
Developing Skills: Customize and build your character's attributes and special abilities.
Collecting Items: Suit up with magical items offering crucial bonuses to your charater's defense and attack.
The game offers much more than those three objectives, of course. It comes with a whole new set of customizable quests, exciting multiplayer combat over the free online gaming service Battle.net, and a rich plot that develops over your progress through the game in cutscenes and prerendered cinematic videos.
The days of 2D isometric viewpoint games, in which style both Diablo and Diablo II are designed, are over. These two dimensional worlds have been replaced by more immersive 3D worlds in games such as Assassin's Creed, Dungeon Siege II, and Neverwinter Nights 2.
Diablo III retains its primarily overhead viewpoint, but introduces a whole new 3D world that in appearance contains some elements similar to World of Warcraft. Blizzard Entertainment developed a whole new game engine, incorporating Havok physics for Diablo III.
