Special gems[]

Northrend prismatic gems are specific to Wrath-Logo-Small. This article is a listing of all prismatic Northrend gems.

Note that even though Bc icon prismatic gems have flavor text specifically saying red, yellow, or blue, and Wrath-Logo-Small prismatic gems say "any socket" this still does not include meta sockets. It is still true that "Meta sockets will only accept meta gems, and meta gems can only be used in meta sockets."[1]

"Matches any Socket. Maximum of one Prismatic gem socketed in your equipment."
Prismatic UI-EmptySocket-Prismatic
Matches UI-EmptySocket-Red red, UI-EmptySocket-Blue blue, or UI-EmptySocket-Yellow yellow sockets.

Meta[]

Meta gems match UI-EmptySocket-Meta meta sockets. These gems have special requirements that must be met for the gem's bonus to activate. For example, in order to gain the benefits of a Inv misc gem diamond 07 [Destructive Skyfire Diamond] there must be a minimum of 2 gems of the listed colors (Red, Blue & Yellow in this example) between all the items currently equipped on the character.

It should be noted that gems which match multiple socket colors can fulfill meta gem requirements for any color they match (a Green gem counts as a blue gem and a yellow gem, Orange = yellow + red, and Purple counts as red + blue). For example, if a meta gem needs 3 red and 2 yellow to activate, 3 orange (red/yellow) gems can activate this gem. Also, a gem does not have to match its socket to contribute to a meta gem; therefore, the player may choose to lose an item's gem bonus in order to activate the meta gem's bonus. As mentioned at the top of this article, so far, only high-end helms have meta sockets.


Meta, match UI-EmptySocket-Meta meta sockets.
