Make sure you pick up all the items and Gold that drop during the battle with Greed first. Even after you kill Greed, the Portal will stay open. This Portal will stay open indefinitely, so you can make trips back to town to empty your Inventory if needed. If you place a Puzzle Ring in Kanai’s Cube, with no other items or Mats, and click the Transmute button, it will open a Portal in town to The Vault.

Equipping a Puzzle Ring is no longer beneficial to players. Let them run around dropping gems instead of outright killing them.)īut, man, I certainly wouldn’t wait for a Primal before doing it.Nefertiri makes a good point. (And don’t forget to tickle the Gem goblins if you get the chance.

In the end, this is why we have speed farm builds in order to build currencies like this. Vault runs are usually productive, and it doesn’t matter (much) which gems you use, since you can transmute them. But the Broken Crown knocks that time in half. That’s not nothing, and looking at 14 of those is daunting. You need 243 of the Marquise to craft them. The cost for the augment is the flawless gems necessary to craft them. 30 minutes for the equivalent of 50 paragon is not nothing. You can level a gem up to 50 in 10, empowered, low level rifts in less than 30 minutes. It’s hard enough to get ancients in every slot, much less primals.Įach augmented gem level is equivalent to a paragon level. No reason to hinder your character waiting for a rare primal. So Crusader and Barbarian use Rubies for strength, Monks and Demon Hunters use Emeralds for dexterity, and Wizards, Witch Doctors and Necros use Topaz for Intelligence.Ī reasonably rolled augmented ancient will crush any primal ancient. Typically you want to augment using a normal gem that will give your character “mainstat”, as this is very important to a character’s power in Diablo III. Note that augments over-write, so if you augment using a lvl 90 gem, then a lvl 95 gem later, you get 90 * 5 = 450 stat the first time, and then 95 * 5=475 stat the second time that replaces the 450, it does not add to it.Īny legendary gem can be used, provided it is of sufficient level, however some legendary gems have level caps which can cause issues, and also the “gem of ease” can result in accidentally using the other recipe for it, that removes item level requirement, if not done carefully, so often it’s best to avoid that one. You can augment an item as many times as you have the materials (legendary gem of minimum level for piece of gear you’re augmenting, normal gem) to do so.
