The achievement is for Radiant Star gems, so I don't understand how it will be easier in RoS when the gems higher than that will drop. That doesn't help you craft lower level gems.

Edit: okay I think I see where you are coming from now. When you say gem drops are up to imperial, you are correct, but that is just the maximum. Only marquise and imperial gems were dropping in beta, not any in between flawless squares and marquise, it just jumps right up. I think that is what you meant, that perfect stars could drop for example and then it's just an easy click when you have 3, but that isn't the case.

By really hard, you mean stupidly easy in a week?

Gem drops go up to Imperial (one level above Marquis) in RoS. So save yourself an hour (gem crafting timers are the most inane thing imaginable) and 15 mil in crafting costs, wait a week, and then get the achievement in a couple seconds for chump change.

how did you plan to do a radiant star with marquis droping? AH is down, you will still need the 700 or so flawless squares that drops


Up to.

there wont be a higher drop of flawless squares, it will be harder if it dosnts change to making the new max level gem when you upgrade to ros.

Sell EVERYTHING you don't intend to use in the next week. Mats, legacy gear etc.

Unless you have perfect trifecta rings/amulets/gloves. Those might still be useful because of stat caps if the rest of your gear is good.

I really don't understand why gems are worth so much since marquise gems will begin dropping in a few weeks. I have liquidated all my gems except for those in my WD I currently play.


Diamonds especially are much more expensive than other gems. I'm guessing that many people either have too much gold or haven't been keeping up about RoS changes. I sold gems last Friday and will have to sell the gems I got since then tonight.

For some reason this whole time I thought diamonds couldnt be sold. Just got rid of like 100 of them :O

they were originally unsaleable, but that recently changed. flawless squares were selling for like 70k gold each a few days ago. i unloaded like a 100 of them.

Stop saying that. It just makes me think of what you would find in the royal toilet. >_>

does anyone know whether the new gems released with RoS will be usable at level 1 (or whenever you finally get a socketed item)? i am wondering whether they have any level requirements on them, or whether they act like current gems. thanks.

Wasn't even aware such a bug existed. I wonder how many people are sending in requests who didn't even die due to the bug.

it should be easy to prove though because the screenshot at death and the dead character screen both show the character being completely naked

Hrm, been months since I had played so decided I'd give it a go again in advance of the expansion.
Loot system seems a lot better.

Couple of things I missed in the notes apparently so hope you guys know.
Magic find is no longer needed on higher difficulties ? It's capped on 300% iirc and torment 1 gives that bonus right ?
Paragon levels no longer improves Magic find or .. ? just the point system ?

What level would be best to start again with, I had a pretty decent kitted DH, before I quit playing months ago I used to do inferno MP5-6 solo.
I put it on Master now but it doesn't seem very challenging yet ( only in Act 2 atm after full restart).
Maybe torment 1-2 ?

Thanks in advance

Magic find is capped on gear at 300%, however only 1/10 of it works on legenderies so its kinda worthless. Paragon do indeed not give magic find anymore.

if you could do MP5-6 you can probably do torment 2-3 without any problems at all, master is more mp 0 or even easier

Do the various difficulties also provide Magic Find?
I can't start up D3 to check right now but I think it only said Gold and Experience bonus.
Do Legendaries have a higher drop rate at higher difficulties?

yes, you get increased legendery drop chance on torment (increses even more with every torment). it dosnt say how much however. there is also a few legenderies that only drops on torment 1 and higher

Got a question. If I use reset quests option, set difficulty to normal, rush through the game to Diablo, then change difficulty to torment will I get my guaranteed legendary? All of this at level 60.

Magic Find does increase for each difficulty but it doesn't show it and for some reason a blue post said they don't want to (which seems pointless to me but whatever). There are some legendaries that will only drop in torment, but that is only for level 70s and has no effect right now.

Yes that will give you the legendary, however being on torment over normal has no meaning to the quality of the legendary if that is what you were wanting to know. You have just as much chance as getting a really good legendary on normal as you do on torment 6.

yes you will. some use this way to get an extra legendery, but its generaly considered that if you want legenderies farm runs are better (althou more boring)

edit: you will actually get a legendery on normal as well

Hmm, so what would be the faster way to get legendaries?
The higher drop chance of Torment or blazing my way through Normal?
I have the Hallowed Defender set and Demon armor (the one with fire res+) set at my Blacksmith and I'm a bit short on Fiery Brimstones to create them all.

My highest DPS char is my Wizard with 142k DPS so I'm not sure if Torment or Normal would be better.
Or would Expert/Master be a faster mid-way point?
