What are white gems? And those others are just some specific hard to find supports? Cool, thanks. Haven't found any of those so I can just torch the random supply of supports I haven't bothered to look up.

I tend to keep all the skill gems I find. Its probably not a good thing to do that. This game is great for hoarding useless stuff, just like monster hunters.

They're white in color instead of red/green/blue. Detonate mines and portal, idk if there's more.

Ah perfect, I'll keep that one too then. :3:

How do I tell if I should keep superior gems vs trading them in for the prism recipe? Other than "does my build use it", obviously.

It's rarely worth keeping a gem with less than 15 quality. Thanks to uberlab farmers you can pick up 20q level 20 gems for under 10 chaos a lot of the time.

Use a public stash tab as your quality gems tab and set the buy-out to a few chaos. You may randomly sell a couple while you save up 50 or whatever gems for the recipe turn-in. If you get tells almost immediately then see if that gem may be worth more than the buy-out and move and re-price accordingly.

Have yet to touch anything remotely related to other people except some fine goon giving me a whispering ice.

39 perfect posts with each roll.

Step 1 is to buy a premium stash tab, and then you right click on the tab and click the public button.

poe trade macro is great for pricing gems, it takes their quality and level into account.

Also PSA: some leveled gems are worth ludicrous amounts, I sold a 20/18 Purity of Fire for 50c today and level 20 Elemental Weaknesses have been listed at a minimum of 1.4ex for the last week.

I have 7 frostbolts cooking right now, 6 of them are 0 quality though. First one that gets to 21/20 is mine, the rest I'm selling as uncorrupted 20/20s. Even having to buy the 120 GCP I should come out ahead.

I didn't realize twinned could roll as a blue mod, so my stack of 882 alts will come in handy here.

Any (normal) mods can roll as blue mods. Blue items are limited to one prefix and one suffix. Yellow items can have 3 of each. There's a few sites that list them, like this: http://www.exilemods.com/

Do the Library quest on Normal then Siosa will sell you every gem (except the ones astra listed that are drop-only). Bonus: if you need said gems for a CwDT setup they'll stick to ~level 38 requirement. As others have stated, unless it's qual or drop-only, don't pick it up.

This is good to know. Know my quad tab can be for maps rather than skill gems.

Is there any word on when a auto-sort function will come out?

Trip report:

3x 21s
1x 23% qual
1x 19 downlevel
2x no change

Kept one 21/20 for myself, sold the other two for 3ex a pop.

The only time I've crashed recently (maybe ever?) is when I was running a Tempest leaguestone. It was pretty consistent, too. I wonder if others had similar experience and that contributes to it being on the bottom of the list?

It's a surprise to me, mainly because I figured Talisman and Bloodlines would've been even lower. Seriously, why the hell is Bloodlines so popular?

Bloodlines is free xp and helps sustain your map pool.

I've had way too many crashes this league (no, haven't switched back to DX9, because lazy), and none of them involved Tempest.

Granted, I've only run like 5 Tempest stones ever.

My buddies were crashing a ton earlier in the league when partying up. Turned off multi threading, and I've only crashed once since. Might want to try that.

Talisman for the challenges (you need at least 200 to complete it, 25 more for each duplicate, unless you invest into blue +tier leaguestones)
