I spent $50 on a bundle to run 40 legendary crests. I got ONE 2/5 star gem. I ALSO saved those runes and crafted a 1-5 star gem and got a ONE star gem.. the problem isn’t so much getting it for free, it’s how stupidly impossible the odds are of getting one for free compared to how easy it is to get if your wallet is fat enough. And even then, you might not even get anything of value for your spending.
That’s rng for you. I got a 4/5 star from a crest I got from battle pass. From the other 25-30 leg crests best I got was two 2/5 gems. I’m ok with this. It’s rng. Odds are stated.
@@kimchia7206 that’s really bad luck. My luck has been all over the place but my best ever 10 crest run gave me 2x 3/5 and a 2/5 plus 1 and 2 stars. I’ve never gotten a 5/5 and I got one 4/5.
Well, I didn´t want to play this game just becuse how hostile it is against players and I thought I can´t get anyhting without money. Buuut, this changes everything - I am capable to play F2P mobile games without actually paying anything and still have fun. And this is Diablo, so I will give it a chance. Plus you can find something similiar in Falout 76 with legendary weapons and gear. Took me insane amount of time till I got what I needed - so this is probably something similiar. Thanks for this amazing video!
I recommend my latest video that just sent live that lets you get free legendary crests (that translates to legendary gems). For a patient player line you this will be a perfect part of your rotation to min/max F2P
the odds of you getting a 5/5 gem with fa runes is it'll take 60 years of capping every week. if you want to actually get a good bit of gems without paying, farm NORMAL gems by playing in a 4/4 party, then selling them for ~300 platinum each to establish a base amount of investing currency, then flip gems on the market as the prices swell towards sunday push day. so long as the game isn't dead you should be able to accumulate vast amounts of platinum far faster than you would be able to by rolling FA runes.
The chances of getting a good 5-star one is a bit too low to be honest, but I guess it's better than nothing for now. Though I think I'll be fine with my 1 and 2 star gems for the meantime since they're a lot easier to get and I think they're also a bit easier to upgrade than the 5-star ones. Not too sure on that though, need to learn a bit more about gems. Thanks for the tip!
Upgraded 1 and 2 star gems are quite good and, as you mentioned, wayyyyy cheaper to upgrade. The odds for the 5 star gems are in line with odds for top end “characters” in gocha games like Genshin impact. Again, a shock to non mobile games, but I don’t think many mobile pros are shocked.
Yup, definitely no surprise there. It's been that way for years for a lot of games. I gotta admit that it may be a bit of a flawed system, in the sense that it could ruin the game if it gets out of hand, but it is what it is. Just gotta enjoy the game itself for its mechanics and overall gameplay instead of constantly whining about the whales. Personally, I'm having fun with the game right now even with $0 spent, but I might get the battle pass soon just for the skin and extra loot though. I don't plan on spending thousands just for an in-game gem haha.
With the odd of ~4.5% of getting anything from 2/5-5/5 star, it would take about 9 months in general to see one. Which you won't be able to upgrade past a certain rank as you will need a copy of it. Which means, for a F2P player, we are better off getting a normal 2 star or 1 star gem rather than one of the ?/5 ones, as we will be able to upgrade it further.
Focus on mainly 1/2 star. But if you do get some 5* they will be tremendously better before you need to increase their rank using a second gem of the same type. (Rank 3) you can also just save up plat to buy a cheaper one off market. And use it as the feeder. That boost alone for a 5* is better then a rank 10 1*
9 month compare to thousands of Dollars? I think thats a fair Deal :) i Play f2p too and got 2 x 5star (with 2/3 real Stars) Out of the monthly hilt crest. I use this to Upgrade my 1/2 Stars for Higher tiers. Thats the only way to get 50% Magic find for free with my necro with useful gems.
people already know about the FA runes the problem is that there is a capped amount of dust u can get per week so that f2p players can never ever catch up to p2w players they cap how much u can get so that if u do want to catch up u have to pay
You'd be surprised by how many dumbasses there are that think f2p should ever "catch" P2P players. There is no gacha game on the market that functions like this. Grow up.
It is not cost-effective to craft FA runes. You would be a lot better if you craft Ati runes (for 15 embers, instead of 18) and from them craft 1 and 2-star gems. Basically if you are a F2P player (or one who only pays for the Battle Pass - which is moderately profitable) I suggest to forget completely about 5-star gems. Just focus on 2-star ones and try to level up them as best as possible. 95% of the crafting will be only to get Gem Power, so it doesn't really matter what you craft or what drops for you. My calculations say that you are guaranteed to grind 32 gem power per month this way, which is equivalent to a 5-star gem (46 if you buy the Battle Pass). A lot better than getting a crappy 2/5 star gem after 6 months of grinding (as Peter Peterson proved here: th-cam.com/video/bk_5pFWB96s/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgyHMdR_WC9G7j0LkBB4AaABAg).
It takes runes to gamble for a gem. So you have to choose between severely reducing your ability to upgrade gems or a minuscule chance for a higher level gem…. Even if you get a 5 star as a F2P, the upgrade requirements are crazy.
@@pistovster the rng god did not smile upon him. They took a major amber heard dump on his chest. I have a friend that spent $150 and he got a 5/5. Rng giveth, and it take the away. Don’t worry, Quinn made that 10,000 back in viewer donations and streamer money, don’t shed any tears for him. He knows what he is doing…
I got two Zwenson's Haunting 5/5 star gems in my free-to-play account both on elder rift drops with one eternal legendary gem equipped. One on my Necro and one on my Demon Hunter. Guess im super lucky 😀
@@LeeroyGaming He's saying a video game shouldn't be those odds. It's a game, you should be able to experience the entire game without needing to pay or spend on average 54 years to see part of the end game. I don't really understand how you can justify it and act like it's totally okay?
good 4 you, you just discovered how to craft gem...in order to get 5 stars gem FOR FREE will take you 54 years....u need to craft 1 gem every second week..gg good luck
This is the only way to "Farm" tradeable Leg Gems. It does have a cap as you have noted with the Embers. Runes: trade 7 and get 1 star leg gem- sells for 750 to 1200 plat on market.. Trade 28 and get 2 star Leg Gem sells for 2500+ plat Trade 22 and get random star gem, which could net you the "Big One".., or not. The "Big One" 5 Star Leg Gems sells for 250k-500k plat on the market. Soooo.. If you have about 1.5 M Plat you can buy what you want in 5 star Gems for all 6 you need. It seems to me that you can get there quicker by having an intent to "Farm" for Platinum rather than Farm for the "RNG".. ;-) In other words use the untradeable gems and sell the tradable ones and stockpile that Platinum.
@@LeeroyGaming agreed. The only other method to grind plat that I can see is flipping charms into skill stones for 500 plat and selling for 2500 max. so if you can gain 6k plat per day in a perfect world.., it could make the grind at least possible. But in all reality the rent on those stones are gonna be ruff for a F2P player.. in other words upgrading 5 star gems is a career in itself. may as well upgrade 2 stars and by that time D4 will be here.. lol thanks for the content
Didn’t cross my mind. I wasn’t there to show off what I had/did not have, but it’s good to know that people are interested. I’m mainly seeing how I can shorter my videos some as I’m getting feedback to make them shorter not longer. Watch my next video for a special surprise ;)
Technically you did get lucky. 2 stars are a 20% drop rate and you for 1/3 so 33% drop rate… so you got quite lucky :) I did 10 legendary crests today and they were all 1 star. Rng gods giveth and they taketh away.
that is nice, getting one 5/5 for "free" after many hours of playing, but what to do with it? actually best thing is to sell it if its even tradeable, you will never be able to get as many gems as you need to fully upgrade it with free to play
I just can't play any game that makes my real life wallet a part of the game design. I play games to escape, not to budget my food for the month. Fuck that.
Might wanna tell people the truth there bud. The chance of getting a 5 star gem from trading 22 fa runes for the random unbound gem is less than 0.005 percent. Also, IF you get a 5 star to drop, it will only ever be a 2 of 5 star gem. You will never get 3, 4 or 5 out of 5 stars with this method.
You need ati runes to craft a specific legendary gem. You combine the ati runes with the other weird runes to craft different specific gems. So if you have loads backed up you could use them to craft some cheap 1* gems to then upgrade your main ones
They basically brought back rune words. You can craft all of the 1 and 2 star legendary gems (and use them to equip or to break down for feeder material). You get plenty of these through playing the regular content in the game :)
I got 4/5 at first try last week. I am using the gem and it was a mistake I believe because I will never be able to up it as F2P. Should have sold it...
Was it bound or unbound? Unless you got it through a purchased crest, it’s not traceable. However even a level 2 4/5 is more powerful than a 10/10 1 star gem so your most likely made the right decision to use it.
Leeroy you explained quite well. the issue here is the caps. to convert the dust into FA runes, you have to divide the 22 needed runes by 18 dust price per rune; that alone brings you to 396 Dust cost per 1 time random cast. as mentioned in your video your weekly cap is 200 direct farmed and + 120 bonus which means you can at max, have a 320 Dust income per week. so the 396 Dust cost for crafting 1 time random gem is already more than 1 week of farming, with fully maxed out gain; that being said, you then also have those drop chances giving you a 95% chance for it to suck ass and be just as bad as when you just crafted 1 star and 2 star gem right away. so it's a massive loss you take in the long run, since it's very likely to be bad quality, and you can only do 2 in 3 weeks at max, meaning you get pretty much no real chance on hitting those 5% better quality consistantly.
now, here is how to do it better: craft as many 1 star gems as possible dirctly, both from direct recepie and 7 FA rune recepie (which you can do much more frequent with just 126 dust per craft; your chances of getting a better gem on the other recipe are countered by you being able to craft 2-3 times per week, giving you much more gems overall. those aren't tradable; trade the other gems, you dropped, if you really need to swap them up on the market for getting any 2 star gems. going above 2 star you'd again sit there for several month just farming to get the needed amounts; level up your gems that you wear, on 1 star until they cap out. go with fully leveled 1 star gems into the next higher tier with 2 star gems, once you have that. you're overall power will be much more reliable and faster achieved.
the real chance for a 5 star gem from the recepie with 22 FA runes is not even 1 % it actually is 1% from the 4,5%, which is more like 0,00045; that in percent is a 0,045% chance for an actual 5 Star on crafting the recepie at max 2 times every 3 weeks giving you a total of 36 tries(= 54 weeks divided by 3 is 18, times 2 is 36) PER YEAR!!! 36*0,00045 = 0,0162 chance or 1,62% chance for a whole year of doing the recepie to actually get a 5 Star gem. in the same time you can have 17'280 Dust (54*320) crafted into 1 star gems = (17280/126=) 137,14... gems of low quality, over the same time of 1 year. 140 gems put into use compared to a 1,6% chance of having one single 5 Star gem after a whole year of farming every week to max capacity, is a huge difference!!
now we got no real data on that, but the 137 gems of low quality should also raise the pity counter for dropping a higher quality gem whenever you do run a legendary crest from hilt trader and battle pass. but that can't be confirmed to be sure, it's only an esitmate; even if that might not kick in, you still get a whole 100 extra gems compared to doing the 5 star random chance craft. (137-36='101)
The biggest issue is that f2p players don't even have the chances to craft this once a week. Your weekly cap is appx 240 embers per week. And you need 396 to get enough FA runes for a chance at a 5 star
True, but free is free. There’s other ways too. Can buy one legendary gem with hilts a week. Sell inbound gems on ah and use profits to buy gems on ah. Many different way to earn for free. It won’t be 100 a month, but you can early 5-10 a month if you work at it.
@@LeeroyGaming ohhh absolutely it's just tough to be competitive, but I guess that's the big drawback of being f2p. Eitherway hopefully we can earn a bit more embers per week even if is only enough to attempt one 5 stat
How did you change the icon shape and size of your mouse? I need something like that when I play diablo on pc because I literally cannot see where my mouse is in large packs of enemies lol
So you need 18*22=396 embers to roll once. You need to roll on average 20 times for a 5 star (?/5). So it’ll take you roughly 25 weeks to get one. Am I doing this right?
I’m a bit tired as I write this but on average you are close. I’ve done the math on my drops and I have averaged “above average” luck. About one ?/5 per 15 or so “rolls”
True. But the awakening bonuses aren’t that insane. Normally 10% to dmg or cooldown or health to a summon etc, AND requires level 10 gems. I.e. harder for F2P to get and not that big of a deal to miss.
Look well all know it's pay to win , if you pay 50$ and get what it takes 6 months free to play to achieves its pay to win my friend. People defending this are setting the new norm. When it's not as blatant it will be acceptable compare to this monstrosity. Also, the more the community accept it the higher the bar is set to do type of monetization aggressively. Good vid , keep up the work. I don't want to put down creators. The reality Blizzard are greedy , and scammy not you're fault. I'm glad you're enjoying game!
@@steveeymann6374 hell difficulty unlocks at level 60 (max normal level) which will be after you complete the main story (which you should probably complete in your mid or late 50s, maybe earlier if you are an over-achiever).
You are farming so much to play agaisnt the odds of 0.05% of getting a 5 star gem... when p2w players play that odds everysingle time they want by paying
People focus too much on odds for 5/5. 2/5, 3/5, and 4/5 odds are much better and relatively close on power. I was the #1 pvp necro for season 1 and I had one 4/5, and two 3/5 . Then two one star and some 2 star gems. Nothing close to maxed out except for one rank 10 one star. Perspective is important….
But does that mean u CANT buy them from the market with ur platin?????? I always asumed that would be the main way.... Is that not possible FTP ???????
Lol what a joke. Maybe 1 per week. 4 per month running about 20 to 30 rifts a week in group. This game makes me sad. I sunk in about 40 hour in ranked in the top 15 in the server on rifts and the grind is absured now.
So what your saying is, just stick to lotto tickets,,, you will get much more enjoyment winning big and not care about paying to win :p ie This is a waste of time to consider a realistic possibility. There are free lotteries/sweepstakes your time would br better spent entering.
wow ok. this changes everything. I mean i still havent got a perfect item ever since i played any diablo. So a 5/5 star is indeed very cery very rare. they could increase the odd for the free olayers a little thought
I really am saddened that they have made this game into nothing but a dam cash grab, honestly sickened by it. Loved Diablo, DII, & D3 I only played mildly as Witch Doctor, but still loved the trilogy.. Unfortunately I had waaay higher hopes than I should have - with this installment into the Diablo Saga. I knew it wouldn't be everything the same/what we were used to, but it feels like such an entire entity for the worse.. I'm not 1 of those losers saying ' Oh uninstall that crap. Such a waste of time. Etc. Etc. ' but I really came to the conclusion roughly the first week that there was no sense in me actually making a run for top players on the server since I'm not able to spend double, or single digit thousands of dollars on this game to even be in the running for top 250 players of the server smh.. Sadly I couldn't even afford to spend hundreds to a thousand on this at the moment.. BUT I COULD SPEND - Hundreds to thousands of HOURS on this game and already have spent a rough couple hundred hours on it already. Before I went off on my tangent, I was saying that I have made the decision to just coast back and not even really attempt pvp much since it's such a 1 sided affair, & the game as a whole isn't getting my full ambition towards it, as it should. When you know no matter how lucky on drops, how much you grind, how long you spend amassing Every & Any Things.. There's always going to be a 1 sided part to the entire game as a whole, & sad to say F2P got hit with the shittiest end of ANY stick that could have been pushed by Blizzard. What happened to pay $ for the game, & then grind your ass off to be the top dogs. That's just my $ .02 worth about it.
Lol also, this proves that the game is pay to win. You are capped being free to play while pay to win is not. And still the gems cannot be placed on the market. The gap between paying players and free to pay will widen over time.
I’ve never said it’s not p2w if you watch any of my videos. I’ve literally stated and restated that the game is p2w. I just don’t agree that having p2w automatically makes a game trash. You don’t have to “win” to enjoy the game.
It’s a long series of upgrades. But generally it includes gem dust and multiple versions of a lower star copy. So going 2 to 3 STAR costs a combination of 1 STAR and 2 STaR gem(s) of the same name plus gem dusts (or sacrificial gems).
@@Jayf0459 I would but I don’t have the exact numbers and I don’t whale that hard. I also don’t want to get the numbers slightly off and have people absolutely destroy me. I’m already vending for my life on here. I feel like loving this game is a crime :(
It takes an absurd amount of money in game to do this there is no other way to show the process currently, you need to sac an exponential number of gems per upgrade and it's literally impossible to do without spending right now.
There is ONE question I have. I just upgraded my legendary gem, and the star rating did NOT go up, just something called ranking. Is there a way to upgrade the star level, or am I wasting my time upgrading a 2 star gem?
You have an opportunity to upgrade star ratings at certain points. For example, I believe you can upgrade a two star to a three star at rank four if I remember correctly. If you started with a gym at three star you would save those resources and obviously not need to go from 2 star to 3 star. To the best of my knowledge is all happens automatically. So there is no such thing as a rank 10 three star gem. All ranked 10 gems will be a five out of five star. The difference is that it will take a lot more to upgrade a natural three star gem to five star Dan one that you found as a rank one five star gem. I hope that makes sense
Thank you for making this vid! I already saw the crafting of the gems, but I didn't know the specific percentages until watching. What is your opinion on the hilts trading system? Idk if you already made a video about it but I am curious to know since I am having trouble deciding what to buy with the hilts I have from the battle pass so far. I completely understand why people think this game is pay to win, but as someone who grew up playing wizard101 and literally had to pay to play the pve in every zone, this game's pve is looking pretty sweet! (I have little to no experience with the other diablo games so my perspective may be biased lol)
I will make a hilt video, it’s on my short list. Prob w the TH-cam content creators is that outside them going for click “hate” bait, as I call it, they mainly play pc and pc players are not used to the mobile micro system. Because this came out on pc it gave oriole sticker shot. People like you have been aware of how mobile f2p games work. Unf it’s “cool to hate”. I’m getting SO much hate for loving this game, but I’m not gonna give into peer pressure to hate a great game. I’m sorry if people want to live in a world where we don’t have the freedom to choose HOW to spend our money.
It's too bad you can only play the gem lottery every 2 weeks minimum with the fe cap being 320. When you need 396 fe to make the 22 runes it takes to roll one gem. at the time of this post you can only have done this one time since the games release after hitting cap and waiting for first weekly reset, meaning Monday week 3 of the game players can roll a second time. Following this pattern assuming you hit fe cap every week and only spent fe on 5 star crafts after 6 weeks of playing the game you'll been able to craft random gems 4 times and be waiting on week 7 for another chance at gambling. Yes it's really that bad fe cap ruins the game.
You also get another free legendary crest once per month (not counting battle passes etc) that adds to the total: it may not be a TON of rolls… but free is free.

Agreed. Since I’m being honest and not shackled by things like sponsors or making any respectable money (lol *cry*) I can say that although the pvp has skill elements, it is by far the area where you feel the p2w the most. However, the pvp can be mostly ignored and the pve feels good throughout. Fortunately Diablo does not have a pvp history so most people won’t expect much and/or won’t care.
Absolutely clickbait. The dude making this video knows this is complete bullshit. Run the numbers. You're basically saying its POSSIBLE without saying its basically impossible.
@Leeroy Gaming iam not sure if you truly understand how fucking low a 0.03 or 0.04% chance is and even then you need a lot of them to max out. tbh i bet right here right now that you will die in real life before you can ever reach max gear regardless how hard you grind. this is just insane
Yea very important distinction. Your stuff isn’t getting reset. Just new season pass gets added along with extra special on e-shop, new content for game (raids, quests, classes etc)

I guess I got lucky and got a blood soaked jade 2/5 star gem from one of my first rifts and didn't waste it. I'm sure I've accidently used a 5 star to rank up another gem because I didn't know. But now to get that 2/5 to 3/5 it's 50 gems to upgrade which is insane. Really feels defeating.
It’s a slow progress. After that it’s 75 etc. It’s meant to be a ling progress. Game has been out and people expect to be min/maxed. This is not Diablo 3 where you can get a maxed out season character in a few days of grinding. This game is meant to keep people playing for years.
@@LeeroyGaming yeah I 100% can understand that point of view. I've only bought the battle pass because I've been enjoying the game and the story.

the odds of you getting a 5/5 gem with fa runes is it'll take 60 years of capping every week. if you want to actually get a good bit of gems without paying, farm NORMAL gems by playing in a 4/4 party, then selling them for ~300 platinum each to establish a base amount of investing currency, then flip gems on the market as the prices swell towards sunday push day. so long as the game isn't dead you should be able to accumulate vast amounts of platinum far faster than you would be able to by rolling FA runes.

The chances of getting a good 5-star one is a bit too low to be honest, but I guess it's better than nothing for now.

Upgraded 1 and 2 star gems are quite good and, as you mentioned, wayyyyy cheaper to upgrade. The odds for the 5 star gems are in line with odds for top end “characters” in gocha games like Genshin impact. Again, a shock to non mobile games, but I don’t think many mobile pros are shocked.

I gotta admit that it may be a bit of a flawed system, in the sense that it could ruin the game if it gets out of hand, but it is what it is. Just gotta enjoy the game itself for its mechanics and overall gameplay instead of constantly whining about the whales. Personally, I'm having fun with the game right now even with $0 spent, but I might get the battle pass soon just for the skin and extra loot though. I don't plan on spending thousands just for an in-game gem haha.

Can you please update or delete this video? It uses fading ember directly to craft now.
With the odd of ~4.5% of getting anything from 2/5-5/5 star, it would take about 9 months in general to see one. Which you won't be able to upgrade past a certain rank as you will need a copy of it. Which means, for a F2P player, we are better off getting a normal 2 star or 1 star gem rather than one of the ?/5 ones, as we will be able to upgrade it further.
That is why most F2P players do focus on 1 and 2 star gems
Focus on mainly 1/2 star. But if you do get some 5* they will be tremendously better before you need to increase their rank using a second gem of the same type. (Rank 3) you can also just save up plat to buy a cheaper one off market. And use it as the feeder. That boost alone for a 5* is better then a rank 10 1*
9 month compare to thousands of Dollars? I think thats a fair Deal :) i Play f2p too and got 2 x 5star (with 2/3 real Stars) Out of the monthly hilt crest. I use this to Upgrade my 1/2 Stars for Higher tiers. Thats the only way to get 50% Magic find for free with my necro with useful gems.
@@emzeeDD see, it’s doable ppl
WTH? I'm at the jeweler right now. The one star gem costs EMBERS not runes!
Craft the crest and you can do a 10 banger more often. And a bonus ember that crafting a gem wouldn’t give.
Took 3 weeks to drop a 5star/2quality with embers. 1week with ten legendary crests. And a lucky 1day 3 legendary crest roll on my alt on the rift.
U would have to do 450 elder rift runs just to cap the personnel limit
people already know about the FA runes the problem is that there is a capped amount of dust u can get per week so that f2p players can never ever catch up to p2w players they cap how much u can get so that if u do want to catch up u have to pay

Well there you go. Lady Luck strikes!
It is not cost-effective to craft FA runes. You would be a lot better if you craft Ati runes (for 15 embers, instead of 18) and from them craft 1 and 2-star gems. Basically if you are a F2P player (or one who only pays for the Battle Pass - which is moderately profitable) I suggest to forget completely about 5-star gems. Just focus on 2-star ones and try to level up them as best as possible. 95% of the crafting will be only to get Gem Power, so it doesn't really matter what you craft or what drops for you. My calculations say that you are guaranteed to grind 32 gem power per month this way, which is equivalent to a 5-star gem (46 if you buy the Battle Pass). A lot better than getting a crappy 2/5 star gem after 6 months of grinding (as Peter Peterson proved here: th-cam.com/video/bk_5pFWB96s/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgyHMdR_WC9G7j0LkBB4AaABAg).
That’s a good point. In my new free to play beginners guide I also say this: if you’re free 2 play, focus on 1 and 2 star gems for the most part.
I mAX out the rifts every week for the fa stones to craft the 1 2 5 star gems been playing since day one never got more than a two star
Thought this was bunk at first but youre right.
👍🙂
Also if you could find a way to farm platinum you could buy 5 star gems off the marketplace
I talk about this in some of my other videos, so yes that’s a main way to buy 5 star gems.
It takes runes to gamble for a gem. So you have to choose between severely reducing your ability to upgrade gems or a minuscule chance for a higher level gem…. Even if you get a 5 star as a F2P, the upgrade requirements are crazy.
The runes you use to craft a random legendary are ONLY used for that. They aren't used to craft any other gems or upgrade anything.

This is the only way to "Farm" tradeable Leg Gems. It does have a cap as you have noted with the Embers.
Runes:
trade 7 and get 1 star leg gem- sells for 750 to 1200 plat on market..
Trade 28 and get 2 star Leg Gem sells for 2500+ plat
Trade 22 and get random star gem, which could net you the "Big One".., or not.
The "Big One" 5 Star Leg Gems sells for 250k-500k plat on the market. Soooo..
If you have about 1.5 M Plat you can buy what you want in 5 star Gems for all 6 you need.
It seems to me that you can get there quicker by having an intent to "Farm" for Platinum rather than Farm for the "RNG".. ;-) In other words use the untradeable gems and sell the tradable ones and stockpile that Platinum.
Working the market is the most predictable way of getting gems I agree. Although I wish you could post more than 6 at a time
@@LeeroyGaming agreed. The only other method to grind plat that I can see is flipping charms into skill stones for 500 plat and selling for 2500 max. so if you can gain 6k plat per day in a perfect world.., it could make the grind at least possible. But in all reality the rent on those stones are gonna be ruff for a F2P player.. in other words upgrading 5 star gems is a career in itself. may as well upgrade 2 stars and by that time D4 will be here.. lol thanks for the content

that is nice, getting one 5/5 for "free" after many hours of playing, but what to do with it? actually best thing is to sell it if its even tradeable, you will never be able to get as many gems as you need to fully upgrade it with free to play
FYI, even upgrading it to rank 2 (which is very doable), it’s more powerful than a rank 10 1 star gem. So I would say equip it and enjoy the power…
I just can't play any game that makes my real life wallet a part of the game design. I play games to escape, not to budget my food for the month. Fuck that.
It sounds like you made up your mind and the game is not for you. I can respect that
Sadly the chance to craft a 5star gem is about the same as it would be if it were to drop from a crest.... about 1% chance... not worth it
FYI, even 2/5 and 3/5 are very very good, and those odds are better. Not great, but a ton better than 4/5 or 5/5
Might wanna tell people the truth there bud. The chance of getting a 5 star gem from trading 22 fa runes for the random unbound gem is less than 0.005 percent. Also, IF you get a 5 star to drop, it will only ever be a 2 of 5 star gem. You will never get 3, 4 or 5 out of 5 stars with this method.
Don't buy that. You cant get 5 level gem. Only one level gem will be given. You can use your fading amber to 2 star gems
There actually is an option that can craft a 5 star gem…
Weekly fading embers cap is 200. Everything that could be farmed it capped to make people buy stuff.
I mentioned this in the video but also mentioned there is a bonus 120 you can get weekly from grouping with others using crests (either type)

That's why I only do 2 star gems roll. You will never get 5 stars. At least with 2 stars I can sell for platinum
Whats the main use for the ATI runes? You can get a bunch of those also.
You need ati runes to craft a specific legendary gem. You combine the ati runes with the other weird runes to craft different specific gems. So if you have loads backed up you could use them to craft some cheap 1* gems to then upgrade your main ones
They basically brought back rune words. You can craft all of the 1 and 2 star legendary gems (and use them to equip or to break down for feeder material). You get plenty of these through playing the regular content in the game :)
I got 4/5 at first try last week. I am using the gem and it was a mistake I believe because I will never be able to up it as F2P. Should have sold it...
Was it bound or unbound? Unless you got it through a purchased crest, it’s not traceable. However even a level 2 4/5 is more powerful than a 10/10 1 star gem so your most likely made the right decision to use it.
@@LeeroyGaming Gems that are created this way are unbound.
@@Askh4real which method?
@@LeeroyGaming Random Legendary Gem recipe for 22 FA runes.
@@Askh4real yes
Leeroy you explained quite well. the issue here is the caps. to convert the dust into FA runes, you have to divide the 22 needed runes by 18 dust price per rune; that alone brings you to 396 Dust cost per 1 time random cast. as mentioned in your video your weekly cap is 200 direct farmed and + 120 bonus which means you can at max, have a 320 Dust income per week. so the 396 Dust cost for crafting 1 time random gem is already more than 1 week of farming, with fully maxed out gain; that being said, you then also have those drop chances giving you a 95% chance for it to suck ass and be just as bad as when you just crafted 1 star and 2 star gem right away. so it's a massive loss you take in the long run, since it's very likely to be bad quality, and you can only do 2 in 3 weeks at max, meaning you get pretty much no real chance on hitting those 5% better quality consistantly.
now, here is how to do it better: craft as many 1 star gems as possible dirctly, both from direct recepie and 7 FA rune recepie (which you can do much more frequent with just 126 dust per craft; your chances of getting a better gem on the other recipe are countered by you being able to craft 2-3 times per week, giving you much more gems overall. those aren't tradable; trade the other gems, you dropped, if you really need to swap them up on the market for getting any 2 star gems. going above 2 star you'd again sit there for several month just farming to get the needed amounts; level up your gems that you wear, on 1 star until they cap out. go with fully leveled 1 star gems into the next higher tier with 2 star gems, once you have that. you're overall power will be much more reliable and faster achieved.
the real chance for a 5 star gem from the recepie with 22 FA runes is not even 1 % it actually is 1% from the 4,5%, which is more like 0,00045; that in percent is a 0,045% chance for an actual 5 Star on crafting the recepie at max 2 times every 3 weeks giving you a total of 36 tries(= 54 weeks divided by 3 is 18, times 2 is 36) PER YEAR!!! 36*0,00045 = 0,0162 chance or 1,62% chance for a whole year of doing the recepie to actually get a 5 Star gem. in the same time you can have 17'280 Dust (54*320) crafted into 1 star gems = (17280/126=) 137,14... gems of low quality, over the same time of 1 year. 140 gems put into use compared to a 1,6% chance of having one single 5 Star gem after a whole year of farming every week to max capacity, is a huge difference!!
now we got no real data on that, but the 137 gems of low quality should also raise the pity counter for dropping a higher quality gem whenever you do run a legendary crest from hilt trader and battle pass. but that can't be confirmed to be sure, it's only an esitmate; even if that might not kick in, you still get a whole 100 extra gems compared to doing the 5 star random chance craft. (137-36='101)
Great math and I agree they should remove the caps
The biggest issue is that f2p players don't even have the chances to craft this once a week. Your weekly cap is appx 240 embers per week. And you need 396 to get enough FA runes for a chance at a 5 star
True, but free is free. There’s other ways too. Can buy one legendary gem with hilts a week. Sell inbound gems on ah and use profits to buy gems on ah. Many different way to earn for free. It won’t be 100 a month, but you can early 5-10 a month if you work at it.
@@LeeroyGaming ohhh absolutely it's just tough to be competitive, but I guess that's the big drawback of being f2p. Eitherway hopefully we can earn a bit more embers per week even if is only enough to attempt one 5 stat

That’s why they are called random odds. Some ppl will get stuff on a first or second try . Some will take a long time.
So you need 18*22=396 embers to roll once. You need to roll on average 20 times for a 5 star (?/5). So it’ll take you roughly 25 weeks to get one. Am I doing this right?
I’m a bit tired as I write this but on average you are close. I’ve done the math on my drops and I have averaged “above average” luck. About one ?/5 per 15 or so “rolls”
F2P don't get to awakening stone though what you think about that?
True. But the awakening bonuses aren’t that insane. Normally 10% to dmg or cooldown or health to a summon etc, AND requires level 10 gems. I.e. harder for F2P to get and not that big of a deal to miss.

I really am saddened that they have made this game into nothing but a dam cash grab, honestly sickened by it. Loved Diablo, DII, & D3 I only played mildly as Witch Doctor, but still loved the trilogy.. Unfortunately I had waaay higher hopes than I should have - with this installment into the Diablo Saga. I knew it wouldn't be everything the same/what we were used to, but it feels like such an entire entity for the worse.. I'm not 1 of those losers saying ' Oh uninstall that crap. Such a waste of time. Etc. Etc. ' but I really came to the conclusion roughly the first week that there was no sense in me actually making a run for top players on the server since I'm not able to spend double, or single digit thousands of dollars on this game to even be in the running for top 250 players of the server smh.. Sadly I couldn't even afford to spend hundreds to a thousand on this at the moment..
BUT I COULD SPEND - Hundreds to thousands of HOURS on this game and already have spent a rough couple hundred hours on it already. Before I went off on my tangent, I was saying that I have made the decision to just coast back and not even really attempt pvp much since it's such a 1 sided affair, & the game as a whole isn't getting my full ambition towards it, as it should. When you know no matter how lucky on drops, how much you grind, how long you spend amassing Every & Any Things.. There's always going to be a 1 sided part to the entire game as a whole, & sad to say F2P got hit with the shittiest end of ANY stick that could have been pushed by Blizzard. What happened to pay $ for the game, & then grind your ass off to be the top dogs. That's just my $ .02 worth about it.

You forgot to mention that these gems are NOT tradable/sold on the market. Just stop trying to justify the monetization model.
Lol also, this proves that the game is pay to win. You are capped being free to play while pay to win is not. And still the gems cannot be placed on the market. The gap between paying players and free to pay will widen over time.
If you’re F2P you will prolly want it use the gems and not sell them.
I’ve never said it’s not p2w if you watch any of my videos. I’ve literally stated and restated that the game is p2w. I just don’t agree that having p2w automatically makes a game trash. You don’t have to “win” to enjoy the game.
How do you upgrade a 2/5 star gem to a 5/5 star gem?
It’s a long series of upgrades. But generally it includes gem dust and multiple versions of a lower star copy. So going 2 to 3 STAR costs a combination of 1 STAR and 2 STaR gem(s) of the same name plus gem dusts (or sacrificial gems).

There is ONE question I have. I just upgraded my legendary gem, and the star rating did NOT go up, just something called ranking. Is there a way to upgrade the star level, or am I wasting my time upgrading a 2 star gem?
You have an opportunity to upgrade star ratings at certain points. For example, I believe you can upgrade a two star to a three star at rank four if I remember correctly. If you started with a gym at three star you would save those resources and obviously not need to go from 2 star to 3 star. To the best of my knowledge is all happens automatically. So there is no such thing as a rank 10 three star gem. All ranked 10 gems will be a five out of five star. The difference is that it will take a lot more to upgrade a natural three star gem to five star Dan one that you found as a rank one five star gem. I hope that makes sense

When you need 396 fe to make the 22 runes it takes to roll one gem. at the time of this post you can only have done this one time since the games release after hitting cap and waiting for first weekly reset, meaning Monday week 3 of the game players can roll a second time. Following this pattern assuming you hit fe cap every week and only spent fe on 5 star crafts after 6 weeks of playing the game you'll been able to craft random gems 4 times and be waiting on week 7 for another chance at gambling. Yes it's really that bad fe cap ruins the game.
You also get another free legendary crest once per month (not counting battle passes etc) that adds to the total: it may not be a TON of rolls… but free is free.
Stop fooling...drop rate for 5 star is .05percent. u need years to get those...unless ur luck is on fire.
True. However off a 10 legendary elder rift run I got one 3/10 and two 2/10 gems, which I thought was pretty great.
@@LeeroyGaming 10 legendary elder rift..needs 30 legendary crest...which i think..imbalancing this game. U r lucky u atleast got smthin... 👍👍. At lvl 61.2 i left. So repititive.
@@Kickinoffthenoobs no, you have the option of using 10 legendary crests in one run (when you enter 3 manually it gives you a +7 option). And of those 10 gems I got 3 5 stars… you heard it right, I had a 30% drop rate of what is statistically a 5% per crest chance. Lol was nuts. Happened just a few hrs ago.
@@LeeroyGaming omg...thats crazy bro 😂😂. Now u r turning into beast 😊.
@@Kickinoffthenoobs I finally have three different 4 piece bonus armors and skill/armor/enchant load outs for 3 dif situations that I just finalized last night. Will be testing in pvp and high end pve content tonight. I think I might stream the game tonight for the first time too. A bit worried about trolls but I’ll prolly take my chances.
Awesome video! Yes, people are bitching WAY too much. Game is phenomenal, and you don't have to pay a dime to enjoy it in its entirety. Even PvP. Will you be the best? Probably not, but maybe. It's skill based also.
Agreed. Since I’m being honest and not shackled by things like sponsors or making any respectable money (lol *cry*) I can say that although the pvp has skill elements, it is by far the area where you feel the p2w the most. However, the pvp can be mostly ignored and the pve feels good throughout. Fortunately Diablo does not have a pvp history so most people won’t expect much and/or won’t care.
2 weeks of repeating rifts for a 4% chanche of a 5 star... how generous from blizzard.
@@lombax99 think of it as a bonus to the general rewards for running the rifts and all the combined benefits seem more reasonable.
Wait till you hit cap. Lol
PvP is none existant for free to play , unless your to be whale food 😂😂😂
Absolutely clickbait. The dude making this video knows this is complete bullshit. Run the numbers. You're basically saying its POSSIBLE without saying its basically impossible.
It’s most definitely possible. Improbable to get a 5/5…. Maybe. But a 2/5,3/5… sure def possible.
00,0048% to get one change for week ok bro dream .
Dream a little dream :)
@@LeeroyGaming I understand the motivation of your video xD but it's like winning the lottery
@Leeroy Gaming iam not sure if you truly understand how fucking low a 0.03 or 0.04% chance is
and even then you need a lot of them to max out.
tbh i bet right here right now that you will die in real life before you can ever reach max gear regardless how hard you grind.
this is just insane
You might* get a 5 star gem. The chances are astronomically low. Then you have to remember that the game has Seasons.
not the usual seasons, like d2, d3 where everything is reset.
Yea very important distinction. Your stuff isn’t getting reset. Just new season pass gets added along with extra special on e-shop, new content for game (raids, quests, classes etc)
0.045% of getting one every 2 weeks, yeah right, how to get a free 5 star gem....
Did u join our clan or na after ur leader didn't show
I joined gods after the unfortunate situation with my old clan. I wish them the best of luck but I’m 100% dedicated and expect the same from my clan.
Very helpful man
I feel like it’s just become the ‘cool’ thing currently to just say it’s P2W without actually giving the game a fair shake.
Yup. It’s clickbait that gets easy views and people live jumping in hate trains. I don’t believe in such things, for better or worse. I am who I am and if people want to not follow me cause I like this game, I understand
@@LeeroyGaming theres nothing wrong with you having fun with this game at all it is a game after all. I feel people who bash others for expressing their opinion or perspective on a game really need to grow up..
I stand by what I say and I believe it’s a solid F2P game. I have no problems with it at all and couldn’t say it’s pay to win because it really isn’t. Could some things be changed? Of course it’s not a perfect game but to sit there and act like this game is on the same teir as a crappy gacha tencent game or genshin impact is absurd honestly.
can you equip multiple same legendary gems?
No
Here I thought gacha games had bad rates
They are definitely not great
I mean you could steal your parents credit card too, thats also free.
And just a tad criminal
So they are both called fading embers a re you sure?
There are only one type of fading embers
You just have one running total for normal generation and a bonus one based on running with other people that use crests in your runs
my man, i dont understand how seeping bile be good. it only have 4% proc rate, low dmg and only last 6 sec.. also you need to kill something to proc.
1) Overworld farming, you can AOE kill mobs group in 2 sec, the gem has no effect here.
2) Raid BOSS, gem also has no effect
3) Battleground, you need to kill a player to proc it and it does very little dmg ........but it can prevent potion for 6 sec
4) Pushing Challenge RIFT, the gem dmg is so small it only tickle mobs
I have the gem, i need a good explanation/understanding to keep it. please help.
Honestly man thank you
I do my best despite the hate
I guess I got lucky and got a blood soaked jade 2/5 star gem from one of my first rifts and didn't waste it. I'm sure I've accidently used a 5 star to rank up another gem because I didn't know.
But now to get that 2/5 to 3/5 it's 50 gems to upgrade which is insane. Really feels defeating.
It’s a slow progress. After that it’s 75 etc. It’s meant to be a ling progress. Game has been out and people expect to be min/maxed. This is not Diablo 3 where you can get a maxed out season character in a few days of grinding. This game is meant to keep people playing for years.
@@LeeroyGaming yeah I 100% can understand that point of view. I've only bought the battle pass because I've been enjoying the game and the story. I'm just afraid of after finishing the story its just elder rift to slowly upgrade gems and pray for 5 stars. I feel diablo 3 end game grind is a bit more fun because it's not relient on gems from what I recall
Unlike in Diablo 3, at hell difficulty dozens of side quests as well add access to world raid bosses is also added.
@@cooleyzz Diablo 3s weakness is that it just has less content and is discontinued pretty much.
