Nightmare jewels so expensive

Why? are they expensive because they are rare?? I am trying to get a red nightmare and it costs like 15EX???wtf

Just wait until they get to standard, these things really are going to be expensive then.

As for the price, yes, they are crazy rare. Pretty sure they are over 16ex now, too, outside the one guy trying to price fix.

It's an upgraded breach unique.

From the rarest breachlord.

I've sunk a few hundred hours into Breach and I still don't have more than 25 splinters of Chayula. This requires that you:

A) Get 100 splinters
B) Are able to clear the hardest breach domain
C) Drop the unique gem of choice
D) Drop a blessing, an obscenely rare piece of currency

15ex? That's pretty low, wouldn't you think? Skyforth has nowhere near as many requirements and runs more than twice as much.

Funny you say that... I've chanced Skyforth twice this season. Ive found only one of the chaos jewels (red).

Just buy the dream, nightmare is unnecessary it's maybe 5-7% block chance? And you can buy a blessing later to upgrade it when you can afford.

Sidenote: I don't understand the cost disproportion of red vs blue. There are many ways to upkeep endurance charges compared to power charges... Yet the blue one is half the price.. That was my logic when I invested in them hehe. Wrong choice.. This was when Red was only 90 chaos too!! :/

Because blue's spellblock is pretty lousy, while red's regular block chance is outstanding. It's up to 13% block chance in the right place (9% in the second-best place), regardless of your equipment... that's kinda a really big deal, it can save a lot of travel for block builds.

Its even more then that according to wiki..

Stamina at the Marauder....14.35%
Sentinel at the Scion..........9.8%

..the jewel is pretty OP for block builds.

I never realized blue is spell block and red is regular block. But aren't they the same value? And also isn't spell block more scarce in the game? Seems good to me.

doesn't work like that, it's calculated (and crops decimals off) on individual nodes, not the collective. It sums up to 13% in mara's socket, 9% above sentinel.

The majority of block builds (well, optimized ones at least) have at least 70% of block chance applied to spells, most commonly 100% thanks to Gladiator's Versatile Combatant node. So when you get Attack block, you get to have your cake and eat it too. With spell block, you just get to eat it.

Red Nightmare gives 13% block in right spot. Its Op as fuck. can get max block with a staff.

Other two are pretty shitty TBH

Spell block is easy. Many things give it easy. off block value usually. e.g. Block is not easy to get.

Who cares about evo/dodge

The on kill mechanic is terrible for all of them. I like on hit.



So yeah Red Nightmare is only one I'd buy.
