In Path of Exile, there are two main ways to "delevel" a gem, depending on your desired outcome:
1. Reduce Gem Level by 1:
This method is useful if you simply want to adjust the level of a gem for specific gear or build requirements. Here’s how:
2. Reset Gem to Level 1:
This method completely resets the gem to its base level, removing all experience and skill points invested in it. This is useful if you want to completely respec a skill or start from scratch. Here’s how:
Important Points to Remember:
Bonus Tip:
Using the vendor recipe with a Skeleton is actually more cost-effective than using just an Orb of Regret if you need to delevel multiple gems at once. Just combine a Skeleton with the gem you want to delevel, and it will reset to level 1.
I hope this clarifies the different ways to delevel gems in Path of Exile! Enjoy experimenting and optimizing your builds!
