If this is the case, shouldn't the recipe say something like (Requires rank 30 gem (minimum))

I didn't realise you could use higher ranked gems until I looked at the top of the leaderboards and someone had a Primal Jesseths with like a 101 ranked gem. I thought that the required rank of a gem was a flat number of mainstat across all items, just that the armour has to use a higher level 50 gem because there are more pieces of them (fair enough) than weapons, which as I'm sure everyone knows needs a level 30 gem. weird.Īlso, the way the recipe is described in game is poor. So why would I want to invest time in to levelling up another gem to augment my ancient items?Ĭonsuming 3 ordinary Flawless Royal gems seems fine to me, but investing time in to levelling up a legendary gem that you're just going be throwing at a recipe to apply more main stat to an ancient item seems. and you would want to level those up all the time, yes? how does it really work? It seems the strangest recipe to me.Īs I understand it, builds have 3 main gems. I've rambled for far too long, aplologies. I was a very casual player.īut now I'm trying to take things a bit more seriously and make the climb. hell, I never really paid attention to anything to do with the cube. Now, despite the fact I have played Diablo 3 on and off for quite a while, I never really had much use for Caldesanns Despair, as I just really played for fun, not competitively, and I never really paid attention to it. I hit a wall with GR92, and I started looking around online on guides and suggestions for pushing higher GRs and I see that augmenting my ancient items will help. I'm currently running a Rathma Singularity build, ans am quite happy with the playstyle and so on, and pretty much have ancient gear in every slot, except my Ammy. I thought I would make an attempt to climb the leaderboards.

Now, I am in between jobs, find myself with quite a lot of down time, and I find myself really getting in to this season and this game again, thanks mostly to the Necromancer. I played a little bit of last season, but other games took too much of my time and attention and I couldn't really sit down and really get in to it, also I had a job and other things to juggle in my life.

Okay, so I wouldn't say I'm new to this game, but I am new to seasons. I'm going to preface this by saying I play on console. Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread
