The TRUTH of 5 Star Gem Upgrades in Diablo Immortal

[@ECHOGamingDiablo]

Initial update details here kzbin.info/www/bejne/anKYfoehi6moaJosi=c32KKtzHDepJQfTC

[@justinsnider9772]

When bidding on gems like that on the market it’s not about click speed, it’s just rng for everyone who bids when the gem first comes on market. Early on in game I knew someone who tried a click bot to win bids and he had no more success with it than just clicking by hand. My theory is everyone who bids when it initially comes on market just gets a number and then it picks one person to give the sale to. Also you have the Susan sites selling mass amounts of platinum to people to thank for the dead legendary gem market. People using pets to buy platinum from Susan have no reason to run crests and sell legendary gems anymore.

[@alldamdayboy]

in other games when multiple ppl bid on same drop or market item you get a prompt to "Roll" for the item.. each person gets a "Roll" which is a number randomizer (usually 1-100) highest number wins.. ppl who use discord for their clan/guild can set up a "Roll bot" that anyone in the clan/guild who wants a clan/guild drop item can log into discord & use the "Roll bot" - 99.9% of drama in clans comes from ppl snagging drops then leaving clan/guild

[@solinari4101]

Too much market manipulation. Ppl need to start reporting market bots, they're easy to spot

[@mattgraves6224]

I’m indifferent. I had all 3-5 rated 5 star gems all rank 5….couldn’t stand chasing the next rank. So got all 1 star and 2 star all to level 10 awakened and not having to waste more money is worth it to me.

[@ECHOGamingDiablo]

Nothing wrong with that route brother. Glad you found your way to a good time in the game.

[@alldamdayboy]

if 2+ ppl bid as soon as a gem becomes available to purchase the game "rolls" to determine who wins the bid.. it isn't who clicks fastest

[@ImmRain]

Didn’t actually know this , thank you 🙏🏻 makes my brain hurt less when I lose

[@ImmRain]

I snagged a 4/5 star storm for 33k plat last night I couldn’t believe it when I won the bid. A few days ago I managed to do the same with a 4/5 hellfire - 56k plat . All about being patient / smart with your purchases etc . Love seeing everyone budget / plan out their gems . Super cool 😎

[@rakvt]

It is simple economics. Too much demand (overflow of platinum from pets and money) chasing too little supply (1st for purple crests, then further for a 5 star gem drop from the purple crest). Demand will keep increasing, but the game is designed for no more increase in supply for obvious reasons.

[@mirceaalex8313]

What's disgusting about Legendary Gems in Diablo Immortal is that you get 1 star gems also. They cost 20 runes to make, you can literally make 5 as a free to play in one week. They shouldn't be a drop when using crests. I feel like vomiting when I use 10 Legendary crests and I see more then 50% of the drop is 1 star Legendary 🤮🤢

[@Chasen047]

Congrats on the big unexpected seeping bile upgrade! Got extremely lucky in the market this morning myself taking my 3/5 echoing rank 5 to a 5/5 rank 6 :)

[@adamcaplan956]

You can upgrade from a 2 star directly to a 4 star, you don't need to go to 3 star in between. Last week I bought a 3 star BSJ (for 70K!) and was intending to use it to upgrade my rank 4 2 star to a rank 5 3 star. But, then a 4 star BSJ come up in the market for 277K, and I bought that. I was then able to sell my 3 star for 120K. I saved a bunch of plat doing this.

[@SeveN_TP]

I remember watching JTSalbusiness when he talked how much time (and money) it took him to upgrade all 6 gems (back in 2022) to rank 10. Basicly all he was doing during 2-3 weeks was running crested rifts over and over every day all day.. Imagine the amount of crests he used / amount of money spent and scrap needed for 6 full upgrades. Btw, wise choice buying this 4/5 Bile.. Great price! you have to think long term.. When you want to reach certain rezo lvl (e.g. 3000 rezo) and if you take required scrap and copies into consideration you will see, it is CHEAPER to buy a higher rank gem of market and upgrade it lets say to rank 5 than upgrading a lower star gem to rank 6.. and still you may not have the same rezo on it despite it is 1 rank higher.. get it?

[@TheChimples]

One of the reasons I stopped playing. The only way to truly advance your character is to pay A LOT OF MONEY. I'm sorry but even if I had the money, I can't possibly justify it going towards a game. If they just want to have a few millionaires playing this game, so be it. I'm out.

[@Artoriezz]

Congratulations on your decision. As for me, I'm not in time. Already added a lot of money

[@islandcat3930]

Same here. Im fortunate my clan is leading our server with a strong alliance. I only come in to do weekly quest and get the immortal Reign reward's. But im not competitive player. Just a casual PvE player

[@jigneshbutiya5116]

Thanks for advice I quit tooo

[@PrideofAmerica7332]

I quit a month ago. I was a 60/p1232 player. So glad I quit the game. I feel rich now. Haven’t looked back once. Corporate greed had to go.

[@takzealslayer]

I am BP spender only with 2.2k resonance still enjoying the game. I grind too much to progress my secondary stats. Currently 4.2k AP and 4K Armor. I can kill 6k resonance player. Top 11 on BG last season. Almost all game content are F2p friendly except rite of exile which i don't care of this one. I leave it for whales and high spenders.

[@sarahschreffler5407]

Going up to level 5 on a gem also gives you magic find. I'd have bought that seeping bile if I had the plat too.

[@4lphao256]

I really don't think that this is "first come, first serve" in terms of who is clicking. I believe it's tossing the people who are actively trying to buy at the time the timer for the sale runs out and tossing them into a pool that is then "bidding" on the gem, which is just the system randomly picking a winner of that pool of people. Im sure a simple message in the partner program could have this clarified.

[@Sistik123]

Bought 2 frozen hearts the other day for about 51k plat each. But Today they went back up to 64k which I don't have enough. Hoping to finally get it. It's all I need left to upgrade to a rank 5 5 star

[@matthewbaker6177]

It's the one thing I really hate about this game, the horrific money involved to upgrade 5 star gems, so you can play the game as intended. Unless you are rich and/or stupid (both being preferable), you can never max your hero. Never. It's impossible. The market has been revitalised since the update, gems are now available, but most at max price and they still sell out fast. However, this bump wont last long. Already a guy on my server has roiling consequence (5/5) maxed at rank 10, a few others will follow. Then it will return to being quiet. It's just dumb. The dev wont do anything, they are busy counting their profits. But the negative effects last and this game will always suffer due to the greed of the developer.

[@bradymitten]

They should do a gem lottery. Leave the button active for 2 seconds and lottery the people who put plat in.

[@WhyTry321]

This is exactly how it works. Maybe not for 2 whole seconds, but it randomly selects 1 person that clicked purchase shortly after it became available.

[@bradymitten]

@@WhyTry321 good to know. Yeah I figured that would be just a logical solution to the problem. I just never seem to get lucky I guess.

[@bradymitten]

@@WhyTry321 honestly though they should have it open for at least one second. I think they have it set on maybe .25 of a second or something.

[@drewtate5409]

Its actually pretty simple to fix. 2o5 only. If there's 0 in existence, game can generate one automatically for a good price, when u buy the gem becomes bounded so u don't resell it. Also, give people more plat. 300 a day is an insult. People should be able to buy at least one 2o5 every 2 weeks with in game rewards. It would give players the chance to get to 2k or maybe 3k in one year of grind, no alt farming

[@s1rf0rt4h8]

I think you need to start clicking with more time remaining on the countdown and faster. I used to win these all the time

[@Jcs57]

I use to click when it became available now I start clicking with a second left as fast as I can. Don’t even remember the last time I lost a bid.

[@simonandersen7942]

The increase in cost from rank 4 to rank 5 is crazy. I'm trying to get my Echoing Shade to 5, but after that I'm just gonna focus on getting all the rank 4 I reckon.

[@islandcat3930]

This is why I quit playing and being competitive. Its a money pit for rich people. No way to compete with whales. Not way to progress resonance with some kind of free to play grind. People stop playing thats why there's no gems on the market

[@MateenDI]

Markets need to be server cluster wide. My server you can't sell anything as no buyers! Plenty of gems

[@86srki]

They are working hard to destroy anything playable in this game !!!! They are giving their best to destroy it

[@they_call_me_don9899]

What's up with the gem shop? Idk what happened to it but recently I can't get the prompt to buy the new 5* as soon as the counter goes to 0 the buy button is grayed out and then the item dissappear before my brain can even process what's happening 😅 idk if p2w players just passively have a few seconds ahead of everyone else or what but after this update I can't buy anything first like I can't even push the buy button before the gem dissappeares like wtfffffff

[@TheMachineOff]

It is a smart purchase. That bile will be worth 320k again I’m a month or so. People are desperate now to sell. Finally a buyers market again. It wears off once the new gem drop rate changes. Plus getting it to rank 5 is a must for the magic find.

[@MaxCWebster22]

Do you know what you’re even buying? Are you even the owner of your purchases? What if they nerf the gem after your purchases and you leveled it to rank 6? You’re marketing this to your viewers?

[@kajmer-n-ender-xl671]

hello. im not spender and i have 5-6 5 star gems and i cant sell them on the market also i think i cant upgrade them more than 2 or 3 level. so its better for me to upgrade 2 star gems right sir?

[@Sals-Clips]

The markets are insane at the moment. I managed to get all of my 5/5 star gems to rank 7 last year. Now it’s hard to buy anything these days.

[@adriandominikosipiak5004]

After watching this video it’s clear I have no idea what I’m doing with legendary gems and I’m not putting money into this game. Think I might be done playing.

[@Necro_AAAARon]

You did the right thing. 177k is excellent. I like how you opened it and just clicked. This time, is was the correct impulse for the long run.

[@sunnysun2030]

How did he even get 329K platinum, for a 'free to play' player? There is nothing easy to get this, either selling high level 4/5 or 5/5 5*, either selling some monster pets. Both being very rare to get. Apart that, no way. Or buying it, of course...

Lairs weekly for gem cap - sell them all . Dailies etc . Farming open world with full group for gem drops . I honestly farm normal gems & make at least 70k a week

[@Jcs57]

Unless you’re focusing on PVP 5 star gems are a waste of resources and time. 2 star rank 10 awakened absolutely smokes in PVE and as a free to play I’ve been averaging 1 slot every month and a half or so. I dumped my 3 star Bile for a rank 10 awakened Viper dumped a 3 star rank 4 Howler for rank 10 awakened Pain Clasp and dumped a 3 star rank 5 Blessing of the worthy for rank 10 awakened Blessed Pebble and rank 10 awakened Power & Command, and just finished a rank 10 awakened Igneous Scorn. PVE my Sader clears just almost as fast as a whale in a full on chicken suit.

Blood soaked jade is the hardest to get on my server…I’m probably going to use pearls to do the next upgrade.i need like 10k platinum to get my seeping bile from lvl 4 to lvl 5 with the 2 in my bag

[@MonchkinLand]

Pearls are the way to up your main gems. I’d never save/spend plat on this. Just buy pearls on whichever Pearl bundle you like and do it overtime.

[@ECHOGamingDiablo]

That takes too long. Unrealistic to actually get it upgraded

[@MonchkinLand]

@@ECHOGamingDiablo you don’t buy pearls so how would you know? There are plenty of opportunity every week to buy pearls. Much cheaper than going for something through crests and hoping it will pop at random.

[@brothercaptainmundo]

I was following along and I don't have the progressive upgrade option. I completed the update that dropped yesterday. Any direction on this?

[@CataclysmReigns]

Progressive upgrade unlocks when the gem reaches rank 5, and beyond, but before that you need the basic rank up option.

[@SimonBannow]

Crazy why they don't just focus on gem power ONLY to upgrade gems, of course its all to create hurdles for the players so they end up spending for progression. 🤑

[@abyss5350]

I been trying 3 weeks for a two star frozen heart it’s getting old trying to upgrade the gem I would prefer to upgrade and can’t because either there are non or I lose out on the bid perhaps blizzard doesn’t want to end up paying a x amount of dollars in taxes for going over a certain amount there’s got to be a reason as to why market is scarce on gems

This is bigg problem in Diablo Immortal. Thats why i am focusing on event 50/50 % Elder Rift. Now we have new 5 star gem in game. So good idea to use platinum- crests right now before event finish. This is my tactic. Expensive one tactic But what to do....

this happens in my server, (EU); however, some times I am fast enough, my gem is at lvl 4, the problem to upgrade to 5... I have to buy 5 gems moar

[@kensmith-sl6yt]

Not enough people are buying eternal crests. That's why there is not too many gems on the market. I buy my crest through packs. So they are bound to me. Not sure what's a good solution. I think having cross server market would help. Maybe Blizz should either allow red crest gems to be sellable too or have the purples crest drop two 5 star crests. I know Blizz would never do that. lol

I somehow wonder now, should i just buy 1 or 2 star gems for the 20k platinum i have and use that all to upgrade my own 1-2 stars, or should i really save to buy a 5 star ?

They are less expensive because they aren’t the best. Lol

[@Jcs57]

the cheapest 5 star gems provide the same resonance as the most expensive so use your gear to offset the characteristics of the gem and in PVP it’s about the resonance more than which gem provides it. If you’re not playing PVP just max out 1 and 2 star gems that fit the characteristics of your character.

[@rojohe]

The most desirable rank 1 Q2 5-star legendary gems, typically selling for 64K platinum or 6400 eternal orb, on the main server where I play, are *very* rarely available because there are multitudes of players who want them for upgrading their existing legendary gems. (Likewise, Q5 5-star legendary gems, when available, disappear very quickly.) I almost never buy legendary gems anymore. I am more than willing to wait for the 5-star legendary gem drops I receive through Elder Rift runs. This approach has produced numerous rank 1 Q4 and-over the last 7 months-three Q5 5-star legendary gems for far, far less money than purchasing them outright from the Market. BTW, I also take screenshots whenever I get a Q5 5-star legendary gem drop. 😜
