    Obtaining a Grand gem on your item is luck based. Some have gotten a grand on the 1st try and others have gotten it on their 20th try.

    You'll receive one eventually, hopefully... Just believe in yourself and YOU can also obtain a Grand gem!!

    It took me just over 6 weeks of upgrading every 12 hours on my mythic ring, fang, both upgraded helm & armor to grand gem. Not done though.. 1 more grand gem on my fang and I'll be done. spent almost 250k so far. Currently upgrading my Goblin daggers and fang. I find it faster if you upgrade 5 at a time. Not sure but I think it helps.

    Yea but the problem is that we cant craft other stuff if 5 items are constantly upgrading..

    One of the sacrifices I had to make. Really depends on how bad/fast you want your grand gem'd items.

    It's taken me as long as 6 months to grand gem a mythic item. I've even had at least one that after 8 months I gave up with because I couldn't get the last two grand gems.

    And that's usually upgrading 2x a day. Don't even want to think how much gold that was.

    On the other hand, I full grand gemmed warrior mythic helm and armor, mythic ring, and warrior magma gear (helm, armor, sword) in less than 3 months.

    Takes me months. For items I want grand gem, I rather work hard and pay the premium to save me the headaches of crafting.

    Example would be say a amulet of doom. Clean is 200k, perfect is 400k. Blood gems cost around 4k. Price difference is around double at 200k. I know for a fact I can't get all 3 supers in 50 gems and the time it would take me is nuts!

    yeah. in some cases its just worth it to buy it. others, not so much. Higher the base value of the item, higher the price gap between grand/normal/no gems

    It seems like probably 1 out of every 20-30 gems ends up being a grand gem. You just have to keep trying. If you gem 5 items every night, you will get 1-2 grand gems per week on average.

    I got a super the first time I socketed a gem into an empty slot. Made up for the other failed tries. It's random, someone said average of 10 tries per hole. I think it's between 10-20.

    It's way random, sometimes grand gem first try. Other times grand gem after 50+ tries. Forget wasting gems trying, wait until double chance weekends. Usually get 3/10 or so.

    My most lucky moment !! I got both grand gem on my archon assault on first ever try only :P !! For one expedition rifle it took me 20-25 try to get both grand gems , and on my other rifle already tried for more than 20 times but not even one grand gem...
    It's purely luck based.
