[2.4] Diablo 3 - Guide - Leveling Legendary Gems Fast for Augmenting Ancient Items + Empowered Rifts

Tips, Tricks

1. Any changes in 2.4.1 patch?
2. Philosophies, will you make a video on the philosophy of use for each gem? How many gems are there in total? Is there a cap on how high you can level a gem? Do all gems have the same cap level?
3. Boon of the Hoarder gem is a cheap and easy switch for farming gold, along with helm gem and goldwrap, not quite as much gold per run as setting up all the gold find stats on gear, but just easier and convenient for switching to farm. Great vid as always Phil.
4. omg 200m toughness??
5. Build a one punch monk and farm 1b gold in a jiffy!
6. Very interesting. I have been wondering how to do this. a lot of effor tbut I guess can be worth it sort of. once you get done with character. extra stats like that would be a nice boost. Do any stats change at all? or does it just add dex int etc?
7. OK, so the video is informative... but you need to speak with some energy, the way you speak makes me want to sleep.
8. i dont know if blizzard every taught of a gem that had crit hit damage you would get 1% per rank then at rank 25 you then get a bonus witch would be 10% cit hit chance just sounds like it would give players more flexibility on there rings our there neck.
9. As you said it takes about 2,5 minutes per vault for ~300 million gold. A fourth roll on a 65 greater rift costs ~200 million gold and takes about 5 minutes (supposedly).
   So 2 vaults equals in 3 additional rolls and take the same time as a greater rift, which also gets you 3 rolls.
   Those 2 vault runs gives you less exp than one more greater rift, but don't need you to get another geater rift key. I guess exp/hour will be pretty much similar on both ways.
   While efficient vaults take a little bit of preparations (gold gear), the droprate of legendaries is better than in t10 rifts.
   
   Now if I take your numbers and my thoughts, vaults should be your way to go as long as your upgrading runs are done in GR65 or less, but won't be as efficient if you (and your group) can do GR70+ in 5 minutes. Did I miss something?
   
   
   Since my english isn't that good and I don't know how it sounds to others, I want to add, that I just had those thoughts and want to ask if I got them right.
10. How do you farm the 3 perfect gems for cubing? I ran out after like 2 or 3 cubings.
11. Hey Philos and thx for the vid. One thing tha you could mention is the fact that for every three I think normal grifts you complete, you get (goldwise) one empowered grift of the same level for free
12. @Phil, since there are many unused legendary gems and I am not playing Hard Core so I don't need backups, does it matter which legendary gem you use to augment? At most, there would be 13 item slots to augment, 12 if your build doesn't use an offhand. So just level the 13 seldom used gems?
13. i start at grift 45 and always keep 14 lvls above the Gem lvl
14. Don't understand why the video is so long for such a simple method, just clicken forward and forward. Shorten ur videos so they will be more enjoyable
15. Why would you pay for an empowerd rift way above the current level of the gem you want to upgrade? I've just been fast running trough rifts that's 14 levels above the gem. So if the gem is 5, i fast run a empowerd 19 rift. Not the same exp or drop rate of items of course, but the main thing is to upgrade gems to 50.
16. if you start a new gem start at Grift 13 then always jump 4 up ^^
17. You're not even mentioning that empowering cost is based on a grift level.
18. ΕΙΣΑΙ ΕΛΛΗΝΑΣ ?
19. you forgot to mention you need the perfect gear to farm them ... unless you can do GR55 once you hit paragon level 1 ..
20. You can use the Sun Keeper weapon for extra 80% goldfind
