Leveling gems in chest with BOR?

If I use a BOR can I wear a chest piece like Tabula to level gems? I know stats don't count, but I wondered if gems would still level.

yes gems will gain experience
Nope. Bringer of rain states that you cannot use chest armor at all, so you can't throw on a tabula or any other piece to farm XP for gems.

I keep my a six socket 2h in my secondary equip slot and any gems stored that way will gain XP.

You can have a chest piece with BoR. It just does not give any stats.

Gems still get experience though. At least they used to. Haven't tried in a long time. Do you two that say no have personal experience or are you just saying what you think should be the case?

I can confirm that you Can wear chest armor with BOR (put it on first, then BOR, it should become red) and your gems WILL level.

Cool, I wasn't aware of the change and the GGG quote was apparently out of date.
On a related note, you can do the same with thief's torment (annd a unset ring).
