Bottom center: Comparison of leveling main gems with Bottom left: Cost scaling more precisely for relevant Tiers.Top right: Same but empowered stops at Tier 77.Top center: Required amount of runs / gold / time (time is a rough approximation for 3-5 weeks into the season) to get a gem to 90 with all empowered rifts.Top left: Cost for empowering (basically +1 gemup).If you want to see the numbers, here's my Excel sheet (explanation see below): I assumed ~3.5 months and 200b/h early game, increasing up to 1000b/h near the end of season. Keep in mind we know neither the exact duration of this season nor the exact XP/h values that people will achieve. I calculated numbers for P1400 / Tier 90 gems with my solo Natalya setup(dual wield, no mainstat on jewelry, full diamonds, nonancient amulet), which will be pretty early in the season but for casuals like me it will still be decently high. It's about when to upgrade which gems and how to use our gold optimally. If this is just bad RNG, it’s pretty atrocious - assuming equal chance for each Rank 3 roll, 0/12 is less than 0.8%.Here's some math on Caldesann's Despair I did a while ago and I decided to share it now. I have leveled 12 Stains to Rank 3 all rolled the negate affixes or pool collects orbs abilities. Problem is I can’t get Stain of Sin to roll the extra rift orb affix. It seems like an excellent item for a support (especially since I’m doing 2-person group with an AoE build - really helps vs elites). I think Stain of Sin with the extra progress orb affix would be the best option for weapon Shard.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, I have a good Rank 3 Anguish that I can switch to. Second - I’m not using Anguish (other player is using and AFAIK the bonus doesn’t stack). I wear the GoD set Helm, drop RoRG from cube, and stick FoT in cube so I can wear Hellfire Amulet. First - does Leoric’s Crown work with Soul Shards? I was under the impression that it doesn’t if I’m right then pretty much any Helm would be better. This guide was a helpful starting point but I have a couple comments and a question. Have made good progress with Shadow Impale.
