Timeless Jewel Calculator
Find the perfect jewel seed — preview passive transformations before you buy
Timeless Jewels transform passive tree nodes within their radius based on their seed number. Each seed produces a deterministic set of node modifications — meaning the same seed will always produce the same result. Use this tool to find seeds that convert the nodes your build actually cares about. For full passive tree integration, import your seed into Path of Building for precise DPS impact.
Timeless Jewel Calculator
Timeless Jewel Calculator — Stop Gambling, Start Calculating
Finding the right Timeless Jewel in Path of Exile without a calculator is like rolling Chaos Orbs with your eyes closed. With thousands of possible seed numbers, five different jewel types in PoE1, and new Historic jewels in PoE2, the combinations are nearly endless. That is why serious players always use a poe timeless jewel calculator before spending a single Divine Orb.
This guide covers everything you need to know — what Timeless Jewels are, how each type works, how to use the calculator on this page, what the best seeds look like, and how the new PoE2 Heroic Tragedy timeless jewel changes the equation entirely.
What Is a Timeless Jewel in Path of Exile?
A Timeless Jewel is a unique jewel class introduced in the Legion league that can only be placed into one of the large jewel sockets on the outer edge of the Passive Skill Tree. Once socketed, it rewrites every passive node within its radius — not by adding stats on top, but by fundamentally replacing and transforming what those nodes do.
Unlike a regular Cobalt Jewel that might add “+12% increased Spell Damage,” a Timeless Jewel can turn a cluster of minor life nodes into legacy Karui warrior passives, or convert an entire section of the tree into chaos-themed corrupted skills. The transformation depends entirely on two things:
- The seed number — a numeric value printed on the jewel item. This determines how all non-keystone passives within radius are modified.
- The name (conqueror) — the historical figure referenced on the jewel. This determines which keystone passive is granted to the player if a keystone is within radius.
Key rule: The seed and the conqueror name are completely independent. Using a Divine Orb randomizes both simultaneously. You cannot reroll one without the other.
How Timeless Jewels Transform Passive Nodes
Every Timeless Jewel affects three categories of passive nodes inside its radius:
Node Type | What Happens | Example |
Keystone Passives | Replaced entirely by a faction-specific keystone. Determined by the conqueror name, not the seed. | Tempered by War (Lethal Pride) |
Notable Passives | Completely transformed into faction-themed notables. Determined by the seed number. | Haemophilia, Gratuitous Violence |
Small Passives | Receive additional modifiers stacked on top of existing stats. Determined by the seed. | “+10% increased Physical Damage” |
Once a passive is “Conquered” by a Timeless Jewel, it cannot be further modified by other jewels such as Lioneye’s Fall. This is an important build planning constraint.
The Five PoE1 Timeless Jewels at a Glance
Jewel | Faction | Seed Range | Conquerors | Best For |
Lethal Pride | Karui | 10,000 – 18,000 | Kaom, Rakiata, Akoya | Melee, Slayer, Champion builds |
Glorious Vanity | Vaal | 100 – 8,000 | Ahuana, Doryani, Xibaqua | Chaos, occultist, ES builds |
Elegant Hubris | Eternal Empire | 2,000 – 160,000 | Cadiro, Caspiro, Victario | Builds needing charge generation |
Brutal Restraint | Maraketh | 500 – 8,000 | Deshret, Nasima, Balbala | Dex/evasion, poison, ranger |
Militant Faith | Templar | 2,000 – 10,000 | Avarius, Dominus, Maxarius | Inquisitor, aura stacker, caster |
All Five PoE Timeless Jewels — Detailed Breakdown
Lethal Pride — The Karui Warrior Jewel
Lethal Pride is the most straightforward Timeless Jewel for physical and melee builds. It adds Strength to small passive nodes and converts notables into powerful Karui warrior passives. The compact seed range of 10,000–18,000 means there are only around 8,000 seeds to search through, making it the easiest jewel to find a good roll for.
Best Lethal Pride Seeds Target These Notables:
- Haemophilia — Enemies you inflict Bleeding on take 35% increased Damage
- Gratuitous Violence — Enemies you kill while Bleeding explode
- Bloodlust — 20% increased Melee Damage against Bleeding enemies
- Berserking — 15% increased Attack Speed while Leeching
- Master of the Arena — Intimidate Enemies for 4 seconds on Hit with Attacks
Keystone Options (from Conqueror Name):
Conqueror | Keystone Granted | Effect Summary |
Kaom | Strength of Blood | Spend 10% max life on attacks. Immune to life regen. Massive damage scaling. |
Rakiata | Tempered by War | No resistances, but all damage becomes physical. Converts elemental damage taken. |
Akoya | Chainbreaker | Spend Rage to gain Power Charges. Ideal for Berserker. |
Glorious Vanity — The Vaal Corruption Jewel
Glorious Vanity is the premier choice for chaos builds, Energy Shield stacking, and Occultist characters. It transforms nearby passives with the “Conquered by the Vaal” tag, enabling unique corrupted notable passives not available anywhere else on the tree. The seed range of 100–8,000 gives it a manageable pool compared to Elegant Hubris.
What Glorious Vanity Does Best:
- Converts Energy Shield nodes into powerful ES recovery passives
- Enables Corrupted Soul keystone (50% of non-chaos damage bypasses Energy Shield and is taken from Life — but non-ES characters treat all damage as going to Life, enabling unique defensive setups)
- Grants chaos resistance and chaos damage scaling notables unavailable elsewhere
- Doryani conqueror unlocks Corrupted Soul — the most sought-after keystone for ES builds
Elegant Hubris — The Eternal Empire Charge Jewel
Elegant Hubris stands out for its enormous seed range (2,000–160,000) and its focus on charge generation, power mechanics, and Elemental Damage. This jewel is the most complex to search because of the sheer range of seeds, but tools like the timeless jewel calc on this page narrow it down quickly.
Key advantage: Elegant Hubris can grant legacy Eternal Empire notable passives that add charge generation and elemental scaling in combinations impossible to find elsewhere on the passive tree.
Brutal Restraint — The Maraketh Dexterity Jewel
Brutal Restraint is the go-to Timeless Jewel for Dexterity builds, poison builds, and Ranger characters. It adds powerful Maraketh-themed passives to small nodes and can unlock the Fluid Motion keystone (converts Strength to Dexterity in radius) or Dance with Death (life flasks have no effect, but you gain immunity to bleeding).
Top Modifiers to Hunt for Brutal Restraint:
- 5% increased Dexterity — Scales all Dex-based stats
- Poisons you inflict deal Damage 10% faster
- 25% chance to gain Alchemist’s Genius when you use a Flask
- 10% increased Duration of Elemental Ailments on Enemies
- Gain 5% of Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage
Militant Faith — The Templar Inquisitor Jewel
Militant Faith transforms nearby intelligence nodes into Templar-themed passives focused on Consecrated Ground, aura effect, and elemental penetration. It is the only way to access certain Inquisitor-themed notables outside of the Ascendancy. The Inner Conviction and Transcendence keystones make it uniquely valuable for specific build archetypes.
Keystone Highlights:
- Inner Conviction (Dominus) — Power Charges grant Spell Damage instead of crit. Core for non-crit spellcasters.
- Transcendence (Maxarius) — Armour applies to Elemental damage. Converts physical mitigation to elemental. Powerful for armour-stacking builds.
Heroic Tragedy Timeless Jewel — The PoE2 Historic Jewel
Path of Exile 2 introduces a new category of jewels called Historic Timeless Jewels, and Heroic Tragedy is the most important one for endgame builds in 2026. Unlike PoE1 timeless jewels, you can only equip one Historic jewel per character — choosing the right seed and socket location is absolutely critical.
What Is Heroic Tragedy?
Heroic Tragedy is a Historic Timeless Jewel in PoE2 that follows the Kalguuran Expedition theme. Its full modifier reads: “Remembrancing (100–8000) songworthy deeds by the line of {Leader}.” The seed number (100–8000) determines how notable passives within radius are transformed, while the Leader (Vorana, Medved, or Olroth) determines the keystone transformation.
Heroic Tragedy does NOT exist in Path of Exile 1. If you are looking for PoE1 equivalents, refer to the five classic Timeless Jewels covered above.
How to Obtain Heroic Tragedy
Heroic Tragedy is obtained as a drop from Olroth, Origin of the Fall — the pinnacle Expedition boss unlocked at Difficulty 4. It is one of the rarest drops in the game. Most players purchase it on the official PoE2 trade site rather than farming it themselves.
Heroic Tragedy Keystone Transformations by Leader
Leader | Keystone Conversion | Primary Use Case |
Vorana | Converts Mind Over Matter or similar defensive keystones into Vorana’s defensive variant | Defensive/hybrid life-ES builds |
Medved | Transforms offensive keystones toward melee/strength themes | Melee and slam builds |
Olroth | Grants the most powerful keystone transformation — highly sought for endgame meta builds | Endgame boss killers, minmax builds |
Heroic Tragedy vs PoE1 Timeless Jewels — Key Differences
Feature | PoE1 Timeless Jewels | Heroic Tragedy (PoE2) |
Equip Limit | 1 Historic (same rule) | 1 Historic per character |
Seed Range | 100–8,000 to 2,000–160,000 | 100–8,000 (Remembrancing) |
Jewel Types | 5 distinct types | 1 type with 3 leader variants |
Keystone Source | Conqueror name on jewel | Leader name on jewel |
How to Get | Domain of Timeless Conflict | Olroth boss drop (Difficulty 4) |
PoB Support | Full support | Growing community support |
Best Timeless Jewel Seeds — What to Look For
The “best” seed depends entirely on your build and socket location. However, experienced players consistently hunt for seeds that provide certain combinations. Here is what the community considers high-value across each jewel type:
What Makes a Timeless Jewel Seed Valuable?
- High notable density in the socket radius — the more notables in range, the more powerful the transformations.
- Build-defining keystone within radius — if your chosen socket has a keystone nearby, the right conqueror name locks in a game-changing passive.
- Multiple life or damage scaling small passives — seeds that add “+5 to maximum life” or “10% increased physical damage” to minor nodes stack up fast.
- Rare legacy notables — some notables only accessible through Timeless Jewels provide unique mechanics impossible to get elsewhere.
Top Socket Locations by Jewel Type
Jewel | Recommended Socket Location | Why It’s Strong |
Lethal Pride | Duelist starting area | Dense melee notables, near Life/Physical clusters |
Glorious Vanity | Witch area / Shadow area | High ES node density, close to chaos res clusters |
Elegant Hubris | Scion Lifeweb | Access to charge nodes across multiple class sections |
Brutal Restraint | Ranger starting area | Dex node density, near flask and poison notables |
Militant Faith | Templar area | Intelligence node clusters, aura nodes nearby |
Heroic Tragedy (PoE2) | Build-dependent — test in PoB first | Radius covers most of current endgame node clusters |
How to Search for a Specific Seed on Trade
Once you have identified your target seed using the timeless jewel calc, here is how to find and buy it efficiently:
- Go to the official PoE trade site or poe.trade.
- Search for the jewel type (e.g. “Lethal Pride”).
- In the mod filters, add the seed mod. For Lethal Pride, search for “Tempered by War” under the implicit or type-specific filter.
- Add the exact seed number in the numeric range filter (min and max both set to your target seed).
- Sort by price. Seeds that provide powerful builds can cost 5–50+ Divines depending on current league meta.
Timeless Jewel Calc Tools — Complete Overview
The PoE community has built several tools for searching seeds. Here is an honest comparison so you know which tool fits which purpose:

Using the Timeless Jewel Calc with Path of Building
The most powerful workflow combines the seed search on this page with Path of Building for final verification:
- Use the poetrades.net timeless jewel calculator to narrow down to 3–5 candidate seeds.
- Open Path of Building and load your build.
- Navigate to the Items tab, find your jewel socket location, and assign the jewel with your candidate seed.
- Check the Calcs tab to see the exact DPS, defence, and survivability change.
- Compare multiple seeds side by side using PoB’s comparison import feature.
- Purchase only after confirming the impact meets your expectations.
Trading Timeless Jewels — What They Cost and How to Buy Smart
Timeless Jewels range from nearly worthless (common seeds with no impactful notables) to league-defining investments worth 50+ Divines. Understanding value before buying saves you a fortune.
Price Factors That Drive Timeless Jewel Value
- Keystone access — if the seed + socket gives a powerful keystone, price multiplies dramatically.
- Notable quality — seeds with Haemophilia + Gratuitous Violence for Bleed builds can cost 10–30 Divines.
- Socket specificity — the same seed has different value in different sockets. Sellers often specify which socket they tested.
- Current meta relevance — a seed that is BiS for the most-played build in a league commands premium pricing.
- League age — seeds become cheaper as a league progresses and more are farmed.
How to Avoid Overpaying
- Always verify the seed yourself using the timeless jewel calc on this page before purchasing.
- Check poe.ninja for current prices on comparable seeds — what was 40 Divines week 1 may be 8 Divines in week 6.
- Ask the seller to confirm which socket location they tested. A seed that looks great in the Duelist area may be worthless in the Witch area.
- Use Path of Building to simulate the actual DPS gain. A 20% DPS increase from a 30-Divine jewel is often worse value than a 15% gain from a 3-Divine jewel.
Frequently Asked Questions — Timeless Jewel Calculator
Q: What is the seed on a Timeless Jewel?
The seed is the numeric value in the jewel’s modifier text. For Lethal Pride it appears as “Commanded loyalty from X of Kaom’s warriors” where X is the seed. For Glorious Vanity it reads “Bathed in the blood of X sacrificed in the name of [Conqueror].” The seed determines all notable and small passive transformations. The conqueror name determines the keystone.
Q: Does using a Divine Orb on a Timeless Jewel change the seed?
Yes. A Divine Orb randomizes both the seed number and the conqueror name simultaneously. There is no way to reroll only one of these values. If you have a perfect seed but the wrong conqueror name, your only options are to accept it or Divine Orb it (accepting the risk of losing the seed).
Q: Can I use two Timeless Jewels at the same time?
No. All Timeless Jewels have the “Limited to: 1 Historic” modifier, meaning you can only equip one unique Timeless Jewel at a time. This applies to both PoE1 and PoE2. In PoE2, Heroic Tragedy and Undying Hate share this limit.
Q: What is the difference between a Timeless Jewel and a Time-Lost Jewel in PoE2?
Timeless Jewels (called Historic Jewels in PoE2, like Heroic Tragedy) transform entire passive tree sections based on a seed. Time-Lost Jewels are a separate category that add modifiers to individual passive nodes within their radius — similar to a regular magic jewel but applied to the tree instead of the character. They are different systems and not interchangeable.
Q: How do I know which socket to use for my Timeless Jewel?
The ideal socket location is the one where the jewel’s radius covers the most relevant notables for your build. Experienced players test multiple socket locations in Path of Building before committing. The timeless jewel calculator on this page flags high-density notable areas by default. As a starting point: Duelist for Lethal Pride, Witch/Shadow for Glorious Vanity, and anywhere near charge clusters for Elegant Hubris.
Q: Does the Timeless Jewel seed change between leagues?
No. Seed mechanics are deterministic and do not change between leagues. Seed 5840 on a Lethal Pride will always produce the same passive transformations in every league. What changes between leagues is the relative value of those transformations based on the current meta and which builds are popular.
Q: What is a Heroic Tragedy timeless jewel and where do I get it?
Heroic Tragedy is the primary Historic Timeless Jewel in Path of Exile 2. It drops exclusively from Olroth, Origin of the Fall — the Difficulty 4 pinnacle Expedition boss. It transforms passives with a Kalguuran Expedition theme and is used in many top PoE2 endgame builds. The seed range is 100–8,000, referred to as “Remembrancing” in the jewel text.
Q: Is the poe timeless jewel calculator free to use?
Yes — the timeless jewel calculator on poetrades.net is completely free, requires no account or login, and works directly in your browser. There are no premium tiers or paywalled seed results. We cover all five PoE1 jewel types and Heroic Tragedy for PoE2.
