The following are the specific enchantments chosen by Nerfbear for each gear slot.

Gems

Gems provide bonus secondary stats and help fine-tune a character’s build. They are crafted through Jewelcrafting and socketed into gear.

Additional sockets can be added to Neck and Rings using the Magnificent Jeweler's Setting , or to other gear using a seasonal item typically sold by the Token of Merit vendor near the Great Vault.
