Commonly looted from slain monsters and in-game rewards such as bounties, theso-called standard or normal gems (Amethysts, Diamonds, Emeralds, Rubies, andTopazes) slot into equipment with sockets. Items that can roll sockets as a statinclude headpiece equipment, amulets, chest armors, rings, pants, weapons,shields, and class-specific off-hand items. However, you should only use them injewelry until you obtain legendary gems, which provide more powerful bonuses.

Diablo 3 Gems Farming
To briefly go over the different stat bonuses provided by these gems whensocketed into the different item slot types, refer to the table below. We delveinto the stat gains from these specific normal gems further on in thisarticle.
While you will find and frequently swap between lower-tier gems as you levelup from 1 to 70, we do not recommend that you save them up or try to upgradethem into the baseline gems for a max level character, the Marquise tier. Theleveling process and the progression through those early gem tiers (Flawless,Square, Star) are too quick to make pre-70 gem crafting viable ormeaningful.
At Level 70, the most basic gems you can find are Marquise gems, for example Marquise Emerald. You can upgrade these gems all the way to Flawless Royal Emerald. All the gem types follow the same upgradepatterns, which we describe below for Emerald gems.
This means that to craft a single Flawless Royal Emerald, you will needa total of 81x Marquise Emerald, 4x Death's Breath, and 9,800,000Gold. Imperial gems do sometimes drop at Level 70, so having a few of those willlower the cost, but the overall cost is extremely cheap compared to the amountof gold you will find at Level 70.
Note that you are able to convert gems from one type to another (i.e. Topazesinto Rubies) via the Darkness of Radament recipe in Kanai's Cube. This is aquick and simple way to attain the highest tier of the gem type you need earlyin a Season, since it only requires the purchase of an essence of the gem typeyou need from the Act 2 merchant Squirt the Peddler and nine gems of a singletype you do not need, which are then converted in the Cube. Said essences areunder the Miscelaneous tab of the vendor and only require 500k gold, which is atrivial amount in the Diablo 3 endgame. If you wish to learn more about therecipes of Kanai's Cube and how they can allow you shortcuts into endgameoptimization of your character, follow the link below.
Yes if you have enough gems of the other types, convert some into rubies using the cube. If not, the Broken Crown will double the amount of gems you find. Regular nephalem rifts will drop some gems, but you will be able to gather more of them by farming boss chests. Those always drop a bunch of gems and only take a few minutes each.
Because the recipe takes 9 gems you may not have enough to make 9 flawless royal. If you make 9 royal gems and convert them then these 9 can be upgraded into 3 flawless that you can use in the augment recipe.
Below, we detail the items and gems that you should use for your Explosive Blast Farming Wizard in Diablo 3and why. We also list your paragon points and Kanai's Cube items. Updated for Patch 2.7.4 andSeason 27.
To help you with farming the gear you need for your builds, we have two veryuseful guides that you can access by clicking the links below: a Salvage Guide tohelp you quickly check whether or not you can safely salvage a piece of gear anda Legendary Farming Guide to help you efficiently farm legendaries and set items.
When it comes to gear gems, you will start out progression by slotting thehighest available level of Topazes in the chest and pants sockets. Ideally,these will all be Flawless Royal Topaz as soon as possible. Since thisis a Cooldown-intensive build, we recommend a Flawless Royal Diamond inthe helm. In your weapon, use a Flawless Royal Emerald for the CritDamage boost.
The recommended follower for this build during Greater Rift speed farmingis the Enchantress due to her vast array of bonuses thatcomplement this build; most notably, Prophetic Harmony forthe Cooldown Reduction and Amplification for the elementaldamage increase, both of which you can attain by using a Hand of the Prophet.
If you'd go to act 4 inferno, the same quality of gems would drop, but the pace at which you could kill enemies would very likely be much slower. Stay in act 1 because monsters are relatively easy there.
The best way to minimize the time needed to get higher quality gems (which is ultimately what you will go for - even if you want to farm low-level gems) is to go to higher difficulties as fast as possible, since stronger enemies will have a higher chance of dropping higher-level gems.
This does, of course, mean that special opponents such as champions, bosses, or the treasure goblin have a higher chance of dropping them, but unfortunately, I don't think there is a place with tons of champions always walking around. Basically, you're up to your fortune here in how lucky you are to find gems.
The thing with gems is that there are a lot of different quality levels with them this time around. As far as I'm aware, there are 17 of them. If you spend a noticeable amount of time in one area just to grind for gems, you're most likely just wasting you're time, because the same time spent on advancing in the game will get you more higher quality gems earlier on. e.g. at the beginning of nightmare difficulty, monsters still drop mostly flawless or normal gems. At the beginning of Act II already, they're dropping mostly perfect gems and if you're lucky, radiant gems. This means that farming for gems is mostly a waste of time.
It seems that running the bounties that kill bosses (any diablo-head icon next to the waypoint on maps with the associated bounty, such as Belial, Magda, etc) is the quickest and most profitable way to farm gems solo.
I've found that the best places to farm for gems are inferno any act. The max gem is flawless square and that is also the min gem. These are the only gems that drop. But here is my experience on getting more... purchase 2 puzzle rings from the auction house, then equip you and your follower with one each. A goblin will spawn every 10 - 15 minutes in addition to the goblins already there, greatly increasing your chances for gems. It'll set you back a few million for the rings, but for the addition, I reckon it's worth it.
I find the best way to farm gems is to simply play lots of public games, join one, kill boss, leave and join another random game. I feel that yes even though you are grinding, you are skipping most of the fodder and advancing straight to elites/bosses and so forth.
Possibly goblin farming too, depends on the drop rate of Screams and how much they mangled the EN system in that final round of untested changes. All of that will determine how many of the augment gems we can obtain.
I think a few comments seem to miss the point. Yes playing the game naturally, playing a Season I always have plenty of gems but if you want to aug several builds for just one toon early given we will have a plenty of the new gem from EN at rank 125 but a lack of normal gems my question relates to that.
There are seven different types of Gems in total, one type being as likely to drop as the next. The quality of gems themselves differs depending on where they are found, although it is still possible to find the lowest quality in Hell difficulty. This makes a total of 35 different gem variations possible (7 types X 5 qualities).
Gems can be upgraded from the lowest quality all the way to their highest without having to use any other items except a Horadric Cube. To upgrade a gem, three identical gems of the same type and quality are needed. This non-dependency on other items to upgrade gems made it an easily accessible and efficient source of currency that could be traded by everyone, while also ensuring that it was easy to gather enough in a short time to use for other purposes.
The second possibility of upgrading a gem can be through a Gem Shrine. Upon activating this shrine, a random gem from your inventory will be upgraded to the next higher quality. Should the player not have any gems currently in the inventory, a random type chipped gem will drop. It is important to note that the gem will drop near the shrine in both cases, and has to be picked up again manually.
Want to start legendary farming in Diablo Immortal? Legendary Gear is crucial if you want to survive on the highest difficulties in Diablo Immortal, but it's also exceedingly rare. Legendary Gear is available in six slots for your build: head, chest, shoulders, legs, main-hand, and off-hand. Each piece of Legendary Gear you equip will offer a few increased attribute scores, a random magic effect, and a unique legendary effect. The unique legendary effect usually alters or improves one of your class abilities, meaning you will want to find Legendary Gear that synergises well with your current skills and abilities.
In this guide, we'll explain how to get Legendary Gear and how to start legendary farming in Diablo Immortal. We'll also cover how to upgrade and alter Legendary Gear, so that you can make sure you always have the best possible gear equipped. Finally, we'll also break down Set Gear items and where to find them, as they're much easier to track and equally important for your build.
The Horadric Bestiary also offers potential Legendary Gear. You earn new pages of the Horadric Bestiary by killing monsters in overworld zones to acquire Monstrous Essence, so you can progress the Bestiary alongside some other top Legendary farming methods. 2ff7e9595c
