Have you been running the new type of rifts? Because they only drop from the end boss in those, and they seem to have a pretty common drop rate from what I've seen.Wow, crafting Flawless Royal Topaz... this crap takes FOREVER. Here I thought the D2 gems were a bitch to craft. Oh, and I've still never seen a unique gem.
There's almost no reason to craft anything past flawless square any longer, because by the time you start getting them, you're only moments away from marquise gems.Wow, crafting Flawless Royal Topaz... this crap takes FOREVER.

Is that an online mission? My X-Box won't connect online (too far from the craptacular router).Have you been running the new type of rifts? Because they only drop from the end boss in those, and they seem to have a pretty common drop rate from what I've seen.
I have no idea how the consoles work, everything on pc is online.Is that an online mission? My X-Box won't connect online (too far from the craptacular router).
Cripes, the more I play this game, the less I feel like I know.
It could also be that lacking a group, you don't get the inherent bonus magic find that you get by being with other people.I've never had a greater rift stone drop. I've been running adventure mode for quite a while now (Since making level 65 or so, and I'm now Paragon lvl 74, so over 70 levels).
Wow, almost always drops a unique gem? I'm seriously missing out since in all the Rift runs I've done (believe me, it's a LOT) I haven't received a single greater rift stone. Not once.[DOUBLEPOST=1410869487,1410869018][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok, did some research. Looks like Torment 1 should have a 20% chance to drop a fragment. Heh, that hasn't happened yet, so maybe once I up it to Torment 2 or 3 I'll have some better luck.
Not to mention that this co-op bonus is multiplicative, not additive. It also might not be nerfed like the item MF%, I'm not sure about that one.It could also be that lacking a group, you don't get the inherent bonus magic find that you get by being with other people.
They only drop on torment and above, I believe, and should have about a 20% drop rate. You could just be unlucky. Are you running with a group? Because that drastically increases the chance to drop.How rare are the Greater Rift keys? I've run rifts all morning (at least 10) on Torment I and gotten nothing. I ran a few on Normal - 3 or so - at less than 5 minutes and got nothing.
Am I just unlucky?
Pugs actually aren't that bad. Just make a public game, select rifts as the option, and you'll instantly drop into one where rift running is the main goal. You can run a lot of them in a short amount of time that way.Nope. I was solo. I hate PUGs and nobody I know was on.[DOUBLEPOST=1410974063,1410973705][/DOUBLEPOST]And now I'm going to try out ArcheAge quick and see what it's like.
I pretty much ignore all yellows, just because they tend to go through pretty quick, but you're free to pick up whatever you want. You'll want to put one movement spell on your bar at least, because with a proper group you'll be clearing through at high speed.Okay I WANTED to try ArcheAge. Downloaded the client, updated the patches...two hours later I log in and every server has a queue of at least 1000 people. Log off, back to DIII.
So when running rifts in a PUG, do we ignore all treasure except legendaries or set items? Or do people gather stuff?
Oh yes. There's even a season-only one out right now.Bottomless Potion of the Tower. Khule Aide? Egads, there's more than 1?!?
I ran about 5 rifts in 3-4player (seasonal) public games before I finally got a stone of trials. I immediately tried it out. Got tiered at 5.How rare are the Greater Rift keys?

Oh? I assumed it was because I ran out of time, not that "if you upgrade gems you give up your rift key."I did the exact thing tonight. Ran, started at 8, upgraded to 12, ran 12 flawlessly with time to spare and upgraded one of the gems...and then I found I couldn't get back in. I was pissed.
Legendary gems can only fit in jewelry.Are gems all only able to fit in rings or amulets? Or are there other kinds of gems that you'll get?
DH is hardcore support, I have never been as strong as the other classes when i play my orginal DH.I got a DH up to level 70 seasonal. First time I've ever played DH. I don't know if I just suck at the class, but it feels extremely weak, whereas my monk, crusader, witchdoctor and wizard were all able to dominate at low torments with this same amount of gear, the DH is struggling.
This is true, but I would say that a Wizard has much more survivability than a DH and is WAY easier to play.DH/Wiz are high-DPS support chars. They have plenty of survivability "tricks," but they function best as artillery with a tank along to draw the enemies' attention.
...or also as a team of four where they can mow down all opposition due to 4x DPS storms.
