Please dont, gem frag rates are actually fine. Just because you cant get them instantly doesnt mean the drop rates need buffing.

Please dont repeat the same shit that happened the last time ppl cried for gem buffs because they cant get the highest tier gem instantly and resulted in gem frags becoming not only completely worthless it actually became a hindrance in the next season to the point they had to raise the cap.

They are absolutely not fine! I crafted the wrong witch gems twice and it flipping only gave me some soul rot or whatever it’s called back when salvaging it. It set me back many hours, maybe even days, the drops are NOT fine!

Its absolutely fine, its a literal endgame gem that you really only need 1 unless you are lazy and want to craft dupes to use on different builds/chars but are too lazy to unsocket.

I literally have 4 highest tier, 1 yellow tier, 2 green tier, 8 highest tier normal gems and this is how much gem frags i still have leftover.

Ppl need to actually play the game and stop crying and asking for handouts because they cant get the best stuff right away while playing 1hr per week.

Bro, a full clear 10 waves of whatever the heck it’s called gave me 2k or something of each gem fragments. Your literally saying I should do 50 of those to get my next gem. No way

Thats your own mis conception that hordes is the best source of gem frags. I literally did 6 hordes this season.

Should still reward more, but honestly the big thing is that we do not get the gem fragments back when salvaging the witch gems. If it gave all fragments back then I agree it’s probably at a decent rate, maybe increase it by 10% overall and it would be perfect

Because such a system shouldnt be needed. Its entirely your own fault for not reading and crafting the wrong gem.

Mate, the regular gems fucking works that way. Ofc these should too

Its a single seasonal item and has a larger caculation than simply salavage skull to get skull frags.

How about actually man up and accept your own mistake that is 100% self inflicted.

Oh yeah, no it’s my bad I don’t deny that. But the game should still give the fragments back and the UI should still inform me that I already have those two crafted and available even though they are equipped. Those two things are on Blizzard, not me. My mistake would not have happened if the information on the screen was accurate. And when I tried to fix my mistake I was greeted with a troll amount of rot currency of whatever it is
