Ethereal Gems add particle effects to custom couriers. A courier with an Ethereal Gem will have its quality changed to Unusual.

General information[]

Main Article: Socketing
  • Ethereal Gems can only be placed in a rare socket, which are only found on Unusual couriers. These couriers are unboxed at a very low chance from Treasures.
  • Ethereal Gems can only be extracted with a Master Artificer's Hammer. Doing so will permanently destroy the courier.
  • When applying an Ethereal Gem to an item, the new gem will destroy the existing one.
  • The color of particle effects from Ethereal Gems can be altered with Prismatic Gems.
