Awakened gems are pointless

It's progression. You have to have that in as many forms as you can. The gems are not pointless to everyone.

AW gems L1 are (mostly) like the L21 "normal" gem.
Only a few have an additional mod at L1. But they all can level up to max L5 (L6 corrupted with 1/8 chance) means up to L25/26 "normal". Though that needs a lot of xp. Some AW gem get additional mod at max level like "AW added chaos dam": +1 level to supported skill gems As usual +level is much stronger for caster skill gems than for melee skill gems. You can buy less wanted L5 AW gems for 2 ex / 100-120c / 1 div in standard. With some luck and searching even cheaper if there are more players than now.

" 100-120c? 1div? Man, i have an awekened cold pen listed for less than 35c, and an added fire dam and an added chaos listed for 15c and nobody wants them. The less valuables ones are worth less than a random amethyst ring that happens to have influence on it Paying just for quick level 5 is absolute nonsense given the price diff, unless you are very well off, even a very casual guy can fork enough for one little after making it to maps and from there just level naturally Last edited by feike#6684 on Jan 13, 2023, 7:57:35 PM

The real reason for items like Awakened gems, drop restricted items, iLvl crafting restrictions (i.e. you need iLvl 85 to roll X mod) is so that parts of the community can farm them and then sell them to other players before they no longer need them.
It's just another artifice for creating an economy for parts of the player base to exploit. Yeah, I'm a huge cynic about how trading is in this game and really think the whole thing would be better off without it. |
