Hey, Last time i had used 2 arcane shards and got that awesome jewel: Image

Then i used 5 arcane crystals... and the only "almost" decent jewel crafted was this one Image

It's already annoying to do 420 griswold run to farm 80 Arcane crystals :D and farm rare jewels ilvl99 ... to get a low roll with 13% life 3% damage (and 5 crystals used for that lol),

This would be really good if we could just use oil of renewall on crafted jewels, seriously i know it's end-gear but common this require too much materials and we are getting most of the time garbage roll, or i am that unlucky ?

The good part is that i dropped "The boulder" and "Katamari" while making all those griswold run, sadly crafted jewels empower much -.- :roll:

Would this be faster than a 30s griswold run ?, because sometime i was lucky and got x3 arcane crystal per run 2 time at the following.

In 420 runs, this has only happend 3-7 times lol.

The boulder... most signet'd jewel. It takes a lot of crafting to get all good jewels.


@about runs
It will be faster to just farm nihlathak. Because he always drops uniques and griswold doesnt always drop a box, nor get you crystals.

Okay, thanks for the tips, i will need to find someone with Nihlathak waypoint :P . Yeah sometime in "3" runs at the chain i had no box, this was really annoying.

u do know that everytime u craft a jewel its ilvl goes down?
basically try craft only 5-6 times on a jewel and if nothing good comes of it then throw it away and try on new jewel

Yes, i only perform a maximum of "6" craft, then i throw it on the floor, and use a fresh new ilvl99 rare jewel :P

I found that this is extremly harder to get Bonus to summoned Minion Life and Damage on the same jewel, any reason ?

But yeah i think from the available suffixes, we need to be lucky as hell to get both and with high stat -.-

73 Arcane crystals remaining, need to farm rare jewels, Oh dear :roll:

Ahh!! I didn't knew that :/

Also off topic (kinda):

Is it worth it to have minion damage for necro summoner? also does reani inherits minion bonuses?
