How does item rarity support gem work?
Can someone explain to me how the item rarity gem works?
Does it only apply to a skill gem that it is linked to? or can I simply put it in any blue socket and grants me overall increase in item rarity dropped? Thanks~ Pulsify - Default League CI Ice Witch

You need to link a rarity/quantity support gem to an active skill gem and use the skill to make the killing blow for the full effect. Eg link item rarity support gem to heavy strike skill. Now you need to kill an enemy with heavy strike to apply bonus item rarity from support gem

Check here, the info is from closed beta and the gem was modified a bit. According to it, only linked skills get the increase if that skill kills the mob. IGN: Mortui_Resurgent, Quisinart, DarkVoid, BlindFury

" But what if the monster dies from a damage over time skill (like the Chaos Damage from Viper Strike), will it still get the increase from the inc. item rarity? |

" Does anyone know if increased rarity support gem affects viper strike? Do you still get the bonus if enemy dies from viper strike? |

Note that many, if not all, damage over time effects aren't considered to be kills by the skill that caused them for this effect. So if you link IIR to Poison Arrow for example, only the kills from the initial shot will get the bonus.

DoT doesn't work with neither IIQ nor IIR.

You can also press C , click on your spell that the gem is linked to then click on the Misc. Tab and you will see how much iir/iiq you spell have

ANY support gem applies only to active skills it is linked to. Including Item rarity and Empower.
