TheAdorned Diamondis a build-defining Unique Jewel inPath of Exile 2, with the ability to double the effects of certain Jewels socketed in the Passive skill tree. If used correctly, it can buff the key stats of a character, making them doubly effective as they would’ve been without it.
As one of the most valuable Uniques in the entire game, obtaining it is not easy. Players can only hope to claim one as their own by defeating one of the pinnacle bosses that stand at the top of the food chain inPoE 2ortrading with other players. Here’s the breakdown.
How to Get The Adorned Diamond in PoE 2
The Adorned Diamond is an exclusive drop from the Trialmaster, the final boss of theTrial of Chaos inPath of Exile 2.

This will unlock the arena where players can fight the Trialmaster.

How Does The Adorned Diamond Work in PoE 2
The Adorned Diamond has only one stat:(0–100)% increased Effect of Jewel Socket Passive Skills containing Corrupted Magic Jewels.The higher the number, the better the effects of this Jewel. At 100%, it doubles the effectiveness of all corrupted Magic Jewels by 2x.
So if a Magic Jewel would normally give'4% increased attack speed', under the influence of a 100% The Adorned, it would give'8% increased attack speed’instead. At its best, it directly doubles the effect of all other corrupted Magic Jewels in the entire Passive skill tree. This allows players to get incredible value out of their Jewels, so much so that it becomes worth it to ignore actual passives on the skill tree and aim towardsJewels socketsinstead.
A limitation of The Adorned Diamond is that its effectsonly apply to corrupted ‘Magic’ Jewels. Magic Jewels are the ones that have a blue outline and two modifiers. Corrupted Magic Jewels can have as many as three modifiers (if the Vaal Orb adds an implicit), but otherwise, they will only have two modifiers.
Since The Adorned is Unique and not Magic, its effect does not apply to itself.
Rare Jewels (3-4 Modifiers) and Unique Jewels (Against the Darkness,Megalomaniac, etc.) are not buffed from the effects of The Adorned Diamond. This prevents this Unique from breaking the game’s balance completely.
Since The Adorned Diamond itself is corrupted at spawn, players cannot use a Vaal Orb or a Divine Orb to reroll its modifier.
