Diablo 4is in the middle of Season 7, which is the Season of Witchcraft. This means that you have access to Witchcraft Powers, and they give you abilities that provide a damage or defense boost as you travel between regions and complete Whispers. Additionally, you canuse Occult Gems to make your Witchcraft Powers stronger, but they take the place of regular gems and can only be put in sockets in jewelry. Still, it’s worth getting and using at least a few Occult Gems in your seasonal builds.
6 Best Ways To Farm for Gold in Diablo 4
You’ll never want for gold again.
Occult Gems are a new feature unique to Season 7, and you need to craft them if you want to use any. The hard part is that you need a lot of resources to craft them, so it can be time-consuming to add them to your build.
All Occult Gems in Season 7
There are a total of 19 Occult Gems you can craft in Season 7. To craft them, you need to go to theTree of Whispers and speak with Gelena. She has tabs for removing socketed gems, adding sockets to items, and crafting Occult Gems. To craft Occult Gems, you need Fugitive Heads, Restless Rot, and gem fragments. But first, you need to pick up recipes for Occult Gems, which drop on Torment difficulty. However, they won’t drop until after you complete Chapter 9 in the seasonal campaign.

How to Obtain Occult Gems
Six of these Occult Gems are Legendary, which means they have better effects. However, that also means that you need more items to craft them. Luckily, you can getRestless Rotthrough completing Whispersand earning Coven favors. Fugitive Heads, which you also need to craft Occult Gems, are a bit tough to get since their drop rate isn’t too high. Plus, you don’t have a lot of opportunities to try getting one, since they drop from the cocoons that pop up in regions with ongoing Headhunts. The cocoons will either have a Headless Husk or a Head, and it’s far more likely that they’ll have a Headless Husk.
As you complete Whispers, you’ll pick up the items you need for Occult Gems. It might take time to get as many as you need, but putting in the effort to craft Legendary Occult Gems can be worthwhile if you want an extra Witchcraft Power boost in Diablo 4.
