Upgrading skill gem

Hi,

So i was in the process of using vaal orbs on different skill gems for the +1 or higher quality, everything was fine until i wanted yo upgrade tamed beast to 20. It just straight up wont let me upgrade it, i thought about my dex being to low or not enough spirit but that didnt fix it.

Equipped it on different characters but no result. What am i doing wrong?

Is the skill gem already vaaled?

Does it give a message of why you can't? Or is it just not in the list? 

Also, pretty sure you need to use a skill gem, not a spirit gem, in case you're using the wrong one.

TIL you can corrupt a skill gem.

Did you already tame a beast with it? Once corrupted, it can't be altered, so I'm guessing that it only works on gems with tamed beasts inside.

You’re missing something obvious here but I don’t know what it is.

Maybe click on “all gems” or make sure it’s equipped when you try to upgrade it?

I wonder if it's something weird like when you upgrade the Tamed Beast gem it effectively levels up the beast in it, when you Vaal and corrupt the gem it also corrupts the beast, so when you go to upgrade the gem it can't because it needs to level up the beast, which it can't do because it's also corrupted and locked at level. Good grief what a sentence

Unsocket your gem and apply the upgrade in your inventory. That was my solution.

Go into settings, turn off 'gem cutting restrictions' setting and then equip the gem in your skill gem page before upgrading it.
