Hardcore Diablo 4 Just Lost Its “Cheat Death” Jewel — Here’s Why

Known for their incredible ability as Mages, the Horadrim possess the ability to refine stone into powerful artifacts to aid them in their quest.

Upon reaching Torment I, Horadric Tomes can appear as rewards from completed Strongrooms. Horadric Tomes are consumable items that give you the ability to craft socketable Horadric Jewels at the Horadric Lapidary. These powerful gems grant a variety of alluring powers and effects, from empowering your Horadric Spell, making enemies explode with elemental damage, and more.

Head to the Horadric Lapdiary in Cerrigar to craft Horadric Jewels once you’ve learned the secrets to their making through Horadric Tomes. The first Horadric Tome can be earned from the Horadric Knowledge Seasonal Reputation board.

Horadric Jewels can be crafted using Horadric Phials, Gem Fragments, and can be socketed in Amulets and both Ring slots.

Following the PTR, we have added an entirely new Horadric Jewel to earn:

Willbreaker

Physical damage you deal shatters enemies’ spirits, causing them to take 40%[x] more Physical damage for 6 seconds. This effect applies when first damaging a Boss or Elite, or when they are affected by Crowd Control.

Developer’s Note: As this season offers extensive options for elemental character builds, we wanted to introduce this new Horadric Jewel so physical builds have something to chase as well.

The following Horadric Jewels are available:

Seal of Control

While you have two or more Arcana from the School of Control equipped, gain 45%[+] Control Duration and 30%[+] Lucky Hit Chance.

Seal of Power

While you have two or more Arcana from the School of Power equipped, gain 25%[+] Movement Speed and 15%[+] Critical Strike Chance.

Seal of Denial

While you have two or more Arcana from the School of Denial equipped, gain 30%[x] more Barrier, Fortify and Thorns.

Horadric Crest

For each Arcana from a unique School you have equipped, gain 5%[+] Damage Reduction and 1%[+] Maximum Resistance to All Elements.

Reverie Horn

Reverie Horn

After you injure or kill an enemy, your Summons are empowered, growing larger and dealing 50%[x] 30%[x] more damage for 4 seconds.

Scornful Light

You deal 20%[x] and take 10%[x] more Elemental damage.

Tyrant Bane

After you deal damage over time to an enemy, they take 0.33%[x] more damage over time from you forever.

Liminal Echo

If you would take fatal damage, instead prevent that damage, invoke Propulsion, and become Invulnerable for 3 seconds. This can only occur once every 75 seconds.

Note: This Horadric Jewel no longer drops when playing in Hardcore.
