The reason for this is that it is also very repetitive, not excruciatingly so, but definitely has a much more mind-numbing quality to it than the other aspects of the game. So, what if we had… more caves? Actual spelunking and exploration instead of mindlessly eating through rocks? At least for those of us that prefer doing that as an alternative.
When I first went to Houchus I to look for Sapphires and realized that there are these really long caves and a lot of surface to find resources on, was probably when I enjoyed getting gems the most since I started playing the game. Of course they were plentiful too which helps, but it was a really nice change from the standard AoE mining. I used to do a mix of tunnelling and spelunking and enjoyed it more.
Before I had access to AoE tools I always spelunked for my resources. I would dig in hopes of hitting that massive cave system and then explore every inch of it. I was completely against AoE tools at that time. Grapples were used. It was very fun. So I started to see the necessity of AoE in that environment. You can scan many blocks at once to find resources. I view that as a necessity for player satisfaction. But in the AoE case you also pull in thousands of rock as a side effect. The only thing stopping players from taking that rock home is backpack space and we can assume the rock that makes it back to civilization is getting turned into xp by someone.
I would have to look at xp progression in depth, same as I did for AoE, to determine if the devs have already accounted for this extra xp. I remain bearish because even if the rock were justified by a sharp uptick in xp needed, what was the plan for non-miners to climb that curve?
And why can the same rock so easily be applied to early level xp on alts? I am also worried that guilds will create a third issue since the same rock pie technique will now net both xp and guild endeavor.
Like a teaching pie is good for bonus xp on your next earned e. It also turns teaching pies into a more direct salve for death penalty. Acctually it does the opposite. If teaching pies grant less xp they are less useful for clearing death penalty. The manner, time or fixed amount, in which they grant xp has no interaction with clearing death penalty.

Iron Ringlet. The skulls of some demonic creatures, inscribed with eldritch symbols, are said to work much like gems. They were introduced to showcase the socketing system, which was expanded in the Lord of Destruction with the introduction of Runes and Jewels. There are six types of gems, plus skulls, which are considered by the game to be gems for all purposes:. They come in five levels of increasing quality, which also determines their sell price to vendors:.
You can upgrade gems by using a Gem Shrine , with a gem in your inventory, or by using the Horadric Cube. You can use the Horadric Cube to convert gems into higher quality gems. Place 3 gems of one type into the Horadric Cube and click the Transmute button. In Diablo III , there are five different types of gems:. They come in ten nineteen before patch 2. They are free to put into sockets, but have a gold cost to remove from sockets. The costs to unsocket a particular quality is also listed below listed per gem, that is, each additional gemmed socket increases cost accordingly.
Alternatively, if the item itself is no longer needed, it can be salvaged , and gems will be returned to inventory free of charge. As of Patch 2. This can still only be done by the Jeweler. He will combine gems 2 gems for Regular-Star, 3 for higher ranks, Death's Breath also required for Royal and above for an increasingly higher price, depending on the quality.
Shen also offers to remove socketed gems from items, without destroying either one, also for a price. Players with access only to the storyline provided by the original Diablo III can freely obtain gems of Chipped-Marquise tier, but require Reaper of Souls if they wish to go further; the Imperial gems and their better counterparts require a lv. There is also an interesting workaround for those who wish to save their gold on unsocketing. If the items containing the gems desired are not planned to be of use anymore, the player can salvage those items at the blacksmith.
The gems are safely returned, free of charge, in addition to receiving the salvaging material appropriate for the item salvaged. Note that all gems of Marquise quality and above are account-bound, regardless of if they were dropped or crafted. This restriction is worsened if players play in a season ; even a lowly Chipped gem will become bound to the account of the hero it dropped for.
