For Gems, it's best to slot in Emerald on your Armor slots for more Dexterity and on your weapons for more Critical Strike Damage.

As for your Rings and Amulets, we recommend slotting in Skulls to help you reach the 1000 Armor cap for endgame. If you have already reached the cap, you can slot in Diamonds instead to max out your elemental resistances.
