How To Use Gemcutter's Prisms In PoE?
Because Gemcutter's Prisms are relatively rare, it is not advised to apply them to gems that have little or no quality, and it is only worth using them in the endgame, when you can get a gem to 20% quality. A few points of quality on a gem don't matter as much as a Prism's monetary value. It is better to either just buy a high-quality gem or use the recipe as we described below.
A cost-efficient way to make your gems get to 20% quality is to level them up to level 20 maximum firstly. If you sell a level 20 gem along with 1 Gemcutter's Prism to an NPC, then you will get the same gem back with 20% quality, but its level will be back to 1. That way you only need 1 GCP to get a gem to maximum quality. Certainly, this way you will have to level the gem again.
You can increase the quality of a gem to up to 20%. Of course, for different gems, quality usually offers different bonuses. For some gems, it might not be worth it to increase the quality at all. For instance - aura gems get increased AoE radius with quality, which doesn't matter whether you are playing solo or not.
That is everythin about Gemcutter's Prism in PoE.
