Red or Blue Awakening Gems?

**Screenshotz** · 04-12-2018, 04:29 PM

What gems do you prefer using now that blue gems are extremely cheap? Do you only use blues? Only reds? Or maybe a combination of both? Does it depend on the item?

Just wanted to hear some of your thoughts before I start wasting more gold on awakening

I'll probably use the blues for unlocking the extra slots and then the red ones for a better reroll.

Better to use red for extra slots and blue for better awaken blues are the exact same as red only difference is less chances to get more slots opened.

I seem to have good luck with blues giving more Gl and speed. Reds I always get op stats though

yeah, even though sts said red ones gives better chance on better enhancement (and better chance of unlocking slots), we never know exactly which enhancements chance reduced, which ones increased, and which ones are classified as 'better' enhancements. and the rumor i heard is blue is better if you want gl awake. didn't know that it's good for speed too @_@, but everything is just a rumor until sts release their numbers...

I feel like blue ones also give lower enhancements like 2% speed and 20gl a lot more often. I stick to the red ones.

Havnt had much luck with blue gems. Spent about 400k on the gems and didnt get a single gl awaken on my flameforge

I dont really know tbh, I spent over 50 red gems just to unlock a slot and still none unlocked. Oh well, overall it just comes down whether you're lucky or not :/

So the Reds reroll better?

**Raul_De_Vora** · 04-13-2018, 04:49 AM

i see now i get it

Always thought Red gives better than blue but seems to not be the case on certain items. Used hundreds of blue on terror balde but couldnt get 100gl. Used reds and got 120gl in the end.

Tried blues on nightmare helm and got 4% armor 4% armor 150 armor which i didnt think u can get with blues

Lastly tried my Nightmare Belt with blues which i got 80% GL on eventually

A guildie of mine managed to get 120 GL on venom set using blue

Seems like apart from the weapon the rest are ok to reroll with blues
