    Introduction

    Timeless Jewels are special jewels in Path of Exile. When you put one in your passive tree, it changes the passive nodes near it. Each jewel has a seed number, and that number decides what the nodes turn into. The same seed always gives the same result.

    This Timeless Jewel Calculator lets you explore how seeds work. Pick a jewel type, type a seed, choose a socket spot, and see a list of changed nodes. You can search for stat words like life, crit, or chaos, filter by node type, sort the results, and pin up to four seeds to compare them side by side. A radius map shows where each node sits around the socket. If you want to turn those stat lines into real numbers later, our DPS Calculator is a handy next step.

    The five jewels covered here are:

    • Glorious Vanity (Vaal) – grants Corrupted Soul
    • Elegant Hubris (Eternal) – grants Immortal Ambition
    • Lethal Pride (Karui) – grants Strength of Blood
    • Brutal Restraint (Maraketh) – grants Chainbreaker
    • Militant Faith (Templar) – grants Divine Flesh or Inner Conviction

    Please note: this tool is a simulation. It uses its own math to make example results and step-by-step work, so you can learn how seeds, radius, and node changes fit together. It does not use the real game data, so check any build plan in Path of Exile or a trade site before you spend currency.

    How to use our Timeless Jewel Calculator

    Pick a timeless jewel, type a seed number, and set your filters. The calculator shows the simulated passive node changes for that seed, a step-by-step breakdown, a radius diagram, a stat chart, and a list of matching seeds.

    Jewel Type: Tap one of the five jewels — Glorious Vanity, Elegant Hubris, Lethal Pride, Brutal Restraint, or Militant Faith. Each jewel has its own seed range, so the seed box updates when you switch.

    Seed number: Type the seed printed on your jewel. Stay inside the range shown under the box. If the number is too high or too low, the tool warns you and uses the closest valid seed.

    Socket location: Choose where the jewel sits on the passive tree, like Scion Lifeweb or Witch Area. Pick "Any Location" to see a general sample.

    Stat keyword search: Type a word like life, crit, bleed, mana, or chaos. Seeds with that stat stay on screen and the matching words get highlighted. Press the × button to clear it.

    Minimum seed in range: Drag this slider to set the lowest seed you want to scan. Seeds below it are skipped.

    Maximum seed in range: Drag this slider to set the highest seed you want to scan. Keep the range wide to see more seeds, or narrow it to zoom in.

    Node Type Filters: Tap any chips you want, such as Notables Only, Keystones, Life, Crit, Damage, Resistance, Attribute, or Speed. You can pick more than one. Tap "All Nodes" to show everything again.

    Calculate: Press this to run the numbers with your current picks. Results also refresh on their own when you change an input.

    Sort results: Choose how the seed cards are ordered — by seed number, notable count, keyword match density, or stat balance. The balance score uses a spread measure much like the one in our Standard Deviation Calculator, so a higher score means the stats are shared more evenly across categories.

    Expand details and Pin for Comparison: On any seed card, press Expand to see every node change. Press Pin to add that seed to the compare table. You can pin up to four seeds at once.

    Clear All Filters and Reset: Use Clear All Filters to drop your keyword, location, and node filters. Use Reset to send every setting back to the start.

    What Are Timeless Jewels in Path of Exile?

    Timeless Jewels are special jewels in Path of Exile. When you socket one into your passive skill tree, it changes every passive node inside its radius. Small passives get new stats. Notable passives turn into legion notables from an old empire. This can give you power that no normal part of the tree can offer. If you enjoy planning trees like this, you may also like our WoW Talent Calculator and the Elden Ring Build Calculator.

    The Five Timeless Jewels

    • Glorious Vanity (Vaal) — can grant Corrupted Soul. Seeds 100–8,000.
    • Elegant Hubris (Eternal) — can grant Immortal Ambition. Seeds 2,000–160,000, in steps of 20.
    • Lethal Pride (Karui) — can grant Strength of Blood. Seeds 10,000–18,000.
    • Brutal Restraint (Maraketh) — can grant Chainbreaker. Seeds 500–8,000.
    • Militant Faith (Templar) — can grant Divine Flesh or Inner Conviction. Seeds 2,000–10,000.

    Why the Seed Number Matters

    Every Timeless Jewel has a seed number, shown in its name (for example, "of Xibaqua"). The seed decides exactly which notables and stats you get. Two jewels of the same type with different seeds can be worlds apart in value. That is why players hunt for one exact seed instead of just any copy of the jewel. Working out the chance of landing your target seed is a plain odds question — the Probability Calculator handles that kind of math well.

    Where You Socket It Also Matters

    A Timeless Jewel only changes nodes inside its radius. So the same seed gives different results in the Marauder area than in the Witch area. Good builds pick a socket spot where the new notables stack many useful stats, like life, crit, damage, or resistances, in a small space. To see how each stat line moves your totals, run the numbers through a Percentage Increase Calculator.

    How Players Get Them

    Timeless Jewels drop from Timeless Emblem encounters in the Legion league mechanic. You can also buy them from other players. Popular seeds cost a lot because many builds want the same one. Checking a seed before you buy or divine it saves a lot of currency. Long unlucky streaks are normal in any drop hunt, and tools like the OSRS Dry Calculator or the Shiny Odds Calculator show just how common a dry spell can be.

    Quick Tips

    • Keystones inside the radius are replaced, so plan your tree around that loss.
    • Militant Faith adds Devotion, which powers extra stats on its notables.
    • Divine Orbs can reroll the seed, but the result is random — see our Genshin Pity Calculator for a look at how repeated random rolls stack up.
    • A large jewel radius covers more nodes, so socket choice is as important as the seed.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why do my results not match the real game?

    This tool is a simulation. It uses its own math to build example nodes and stats, not Path of Exile's real seed data. Use it to learn how seeds, radius, and node changes work. Always check a real seed in game, in a build planner, or on a trade site before you spend currency.

    What does the Stat Balance score mean?

    It shows how evenly the stats spread across the six main groups: life, crit, damage, resistance, attribute, and speed.

    • High score = stats are shared evenly.
    • Low score = one or two stat types take over.

    Hybrid builds often like a high score. Focused builds often want a low score with the stats stacked in one place.

    Why does the seed box change when I pick a different jewel?

    Each jewel has its own seed range. Glorious Vanity uses 100–8,000, while Elegant Hubris uses 2,000–160,000 in steps of 20. The tool updates the box limits, the sliders, and the help text so you can only type a seed that is valid for that jewel.

    What happens if I type a seed that is out of range?

    A red warning shows up and tells you the valid range. The tool then uses the closest legal seed so you still get results. Fix the number to see the seed you really want.

    Why did Elegant Hubris change my seed to a different number?

    Elegant Hubris seeds only come in steps of 20. If you type 2,013 the tool rounds it to the nearest valid seed, 2,020. This matches how that jewel works, so odd numbers in between do not exist.

    How does keyword match density work?

    Density is the number of keyword matches divided by the number of changed nodes. A seed with 8 matches on 12 nodes ranks higher than a seed with 8 matches on 20 nodes. Sort by density to find seeds that are packed with the stat you want.

    Can I use more than one node filter at a time?

    Yes. Tap as many chips as you like, such as Life plus Crit. A seed shows up if it matches any chip you picked. Tap All Nodes to clear the chips and show everything again.

    Why do I see fewer seed cards than my slider range?

    The tool samples up to about 36 seeds so the page stays fast. If your range is wide, it steps through the range instead of listing every seed. The card list tells you the step size and how many seeds were sampled. Narrow the sliders to check seeds one by one.

    What do the shapes on the radius map mean?

    • Diamond = keystone
    • Hexagon = notable
    • Circle = small passive

    The colour shows the main stat type. The dashed ring is the jewel radius, and the shape in the middle is the socket. Hover or tab to any marker to read what it turned into.

    Does every seed give a keystone?

    No. In this tool only some seeds grant a keystone, just like in game where the special keystone must sit inside the radius. The seed card and summary show 0 Keystones when none is granted.

    How many seeds can I compare at once?

    Up to four. Press Pin for Comparison on any seed card and the compare table appears under the results. It lines up seed number, notable count, keystone, keyword matches, balance score, and the top transformations. Press Unpin or Clear All Pinned to reset it.

    Why did my pinned seeds disappear?

    Pins clear when you switch jewel type, press Reset, or press Clear All Pinned. Seeds mean different things on different jewels, so the table starts fresh each time you change jewels.

    Does the socket location really change the results?

    Yes. The location is part of the math, so the same seed gives different nodes in the Witch area than in the Marauder area. That matches the game, where a jewel only changes passives inside its radius. Pick Any Location for a general sample.

    What is the difference between Clear All Filters and Reset?

    Clear All Filters drops your keyword, location, sort, and node chips but keeps your jewel. Reset puts everything back to the start, including the jewel type and seed 5,000.

    Why do the same inputs always give the same result?

    The math is deterministic. The seed, jewel, and location are mixed into one key, and that key drives every roll. So the same three inputs always give the same nodes. Real Timeless Jewels work the same way, which is why players hunt for one exact seed.

    Can I use this tool on my phone?

    Yes. The cards stack into one column, the filter chips scroll sideways, and every button is big enough to tap. The radius map and chart resize to fit your screen.

    Is the calculator keyboard friendly?

    Yes. Use arrow keys to move along the filter chips. Tab to a seed card and press Enter or Space to expand it. Tab to any node marker on the radius map to hear its transformation read out.

    What does the stat chart show?

    It counts the stat lines across all seeds now on screen, split by category. The dark bars are keystone and notable stats. The lighter bars are small passive stats. It is a fast way to see which stat types your current filters favour.

    Why did all my results vanish?

    Your filters are likely too tight. Try one of these:

    • Clear the keyword with the × button.
    • Press All Nodes.
    • Widen the two seed sliders.

    An empty state message on screen lists the same steps.

    Should I divine my jewel to chase a better seed?

    Divining rerolls the seed at random, so you may lose a good one. Check the seeds you want first, then compare the cost of buying that seed on trade against the cost of many Divine Orbs. Buying the exact seed is often cheaper.
