What are Smite 2 Legacy Gems? Smite 2 was announced during the Smite World Championships 2024, and the first question fans had was what would happen to all their Smite skins and purchases. Of course, Titan Forge Games has already thought of this, and Legacy Gems are their solution.
Since Titan Forge Games MOBA game currency.
Smite 2 Legacy Gems
Smite 2 Legacy Gems are awarded to every Smite player, equal to the number of Gems spent in the original game. Earn two Legacy Gems for every Gem spent when you purchase the Smite 2 Founder's Pack.
As Legacy Gems are only rewarded for every Gem spent and not every Gem purchased, be sure to spend any currency you still have in the first game.
Smite 2 Legacy Gems are the developer's solution to being unable to port Smite 1 skins to the new game. To reward players for their time, money, and dedication in the first Smite game, every spent gem is reflected in Smite 2, and can be used "to pay for 50% of most in-game purchases in SMITE 2." It's this wording, confirmed in a Twitter announcement, that has confused some players. So what can you actually purchase with Legacy Gems?
Firstly, you do still have to spend money in Smite 2. To use your Legacy Gems, you must still purchase regular Smite Gems to pay for the other half of eligible skins. Legacy Gems can simply be used to reduce the cost of Smite 2 skins.
More pressing is the wording of "most in-game purchases", which some feel is a way to excuse popular skins being ineligible for Legacy Gem purchase. On the contrary, Titan Forge's Alex Cantatore confirmed during a Smite 2 dev that this is simply regarding licensed skins, which usually cannot be reduced. He implied that all unlicensed skins should be available to purchase through the Legacy Gems feature, and perhaps even some licensed ones.
So, there's going to be plenty of skins to get your hands on with Smite 2 Legacy Gems, alongside a load of cross-gen skins you can start collecting right away with the Smite 2 Divine Legacy event and the Immortal Honor event. While you're looking into the Smite 2 alpha and make your own mind up.
