Golem jewels in 3.20

I think it may have been figured out unless these 2 guys are just buying and flipping. There's several listings of Primordial jewels from the same 2 guys on the market as of about 1:30am EST 12/11

Primordial Jewels drop in delve cities from new 'Prehistoric Jewel' chests

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

I cleared 4 Vaal Outposts, but didn't find a single Prehistoric Jewel chest.

I've since reached out to the original discoverer, and they have only encountered them in Primeval Ruins nodes, which is at about 145+ depth.

I've clear 16 Vaal City nodes and 3 Abyssal City nodes, no Primordial Chest. It's certainly looking like they only spawn in Primeval, which, for a build defining gem, is a really stupid place to put them.

EDIT: 2 Primeval Ruins nodes, no Jewels.

A Further 4 Abyssal Nodes, no boxes.

2 More Primeval, still nothing.

There were 4 Primordial Mights on the trade site ... for 5-10 div.

Then 4 more showed up at the same time for 4 div later today.

Excellent change /s

So, I have cleared 8 Primeval Nodes and still don't have a single Golem Jewel to show for it.

In the time it has taken me to reach this point, I have:

Reached level 93.
Cleared my Atlas & Bonus objectives.
Completed the Questline for Eater/Searing.
Found 2x 4-Socket Resonators
Reached 4th - 8th on the SSF Delve ladder for depth.

Is this really what GGG envisioned for these 'Deterministic' expectations? To lock a entire archtype of minions behind such an absurd layer of RNG that they may aswell not exist?

To me, it seems the only way to get these jewels is to just farm cards like we did before, except this time, we won't get the odd lucky drop from the Golem bosses.

I highly hope GGG revists this move, because right now it's nonsensicle.

has anyone considered that the post was a joke because it was from sunday? they may aswell drop from maps with golem bosses in it. geode map boss drops the card for a random primordial jewel, so does every other golem map boss.

Sadly it's not a joke. There is now video evidence of the Prehistoric Jewel chests.

This is really bad. The rarity is just too severe for such build-enabling items.

the jewel changes overall is yet another of those changes that they love to do just to fuck around with players even more..

jewels locked behind stupid recipes as if it's something exciting to find in almost 2023 it's a shame that the head team is stuck on the diablo 2 era thinking that every single thing and decision they do will be like it was back then for d2.

Do you have a link to the video at all?
