Diablo 3 Gems Farming
Fastest way I've found at the beginning of seasons to get gems, is to farm the boss bounties. The chest for them drops like 5 gems, and if you have broken crown it becomes 10 gems per boss. With 5 acts that have a guaranteed boss bounty each. That will give you 25 gems, or 50 gems with broken crown per game.
LoadingWhen you're trying to farm effectively, don't try to be Superman. Taking on a difficulty that's too much for your character is a good way to cut down your farming speed substantially, and you'll increase your repair bill besides. Farm on a difficulty that allows you to quickly move through packs without needing to slow down or focus on their individual abilities. A good metric for knowing you're on a good difficulty is being able to one shot trash mobs, allowing you to quickly plow through the unimportant monsters to get to what you actually care about- the elites.Skip Trash Non-elite monsters make up the majority of what you'll be seeing in both Bounties and Rifts, but if you're on the correct difficulty (see above), it should be relatively easy to blow through these unimportant mobs to tackle elites and champions. Though in some cases it's unavoidable to face some trash mobs, you can quickly clear them out before getting back to your farming. While in Diablo 3 originally there was a slight benefit for killing every monsters in the form of extra rolls on legendaries, with, there is a built in system that ensures players get approximately 1 per hour, meaning that time spent on these weaklings is time wasted.
Additionally, while in Nephalem Rifts, your countdown timer is based on the number of monsters slain. By saving your kills for elites, you're maximizing the amount of rolls you get per Rift, saving you Rift Fragments per legendary acquired.Split Farm When farming, always be sure to do so in a group, having each player go for a different bounty simultaneously. If you're following tip 1, each player should be able to clear each bounty alone relatively quickly, making multiple players beside one another redundant. Instead, each player should take on a different bounty or act, multiplying the speed at which you'll acquire and Horadric Caches by the number of players present.Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, and Torment 1 level bounties have the same chance to drop a legendary. Once you up the difficulty to Torment 2 and higher, the chance to have a legendary drop scales up with Torment 6 having the highest chance to have a legendary item in your cache. When doing split bounties, keep in mind the other players with you.
If you are in a group with well geared players (typically players that can clear Torment 5 & 6 rifts without help from other players), you can most like start doing Torment 2 or Torment 3 rifts in a reasonable amount of time.Complete Bounties on Normal in Most Split Farm Groups Paired with the previous tip, you should always be farming Bounties on Normal difficulty. Bounties should only be completed to earn Rift Keystone Fragments to unlock, or to quickly farm Horadric Caches.
By split farming bounties on normal, you increase the speed at which you earn these rewards. Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, and Torment 1 bounties have the same chance to have a legendary item in the Horadric Cache. Starting with Torment 2, the chance to gain a legendary item is higher with Torment 6 yielding the highest chance of getting a legendary item. If you're not looking to farm Horadric Caches, however.Farm Nephalem Rifts Whenever Possible Nephalem Rifts are the 'end game' of ' farming. The Rifts are fast and extremely densely packed with elite and champion mobs.
More notably, though, Nephalem Rifts have a 100% increased chance to drop legendary items, multiplied by difficulty you are on. Whenever you're not farming Rift Shards or split farming Caches, you should be pushing through Nephalem Rifts as quickly as possible.Farm with Friends Grouping with friends is not only a more fun way to farm in Diablo 3, but recent changes have made it a far more efficient method to acquire loot and money. Due to the 'Strength in Numbers' buff, grouping with more players means more rewards no matter what. In addition, legendary items can be traded between party members, meaning that each additional player in your group is an additional chance at an item that could be useful to you, assuming your party doesn't need it first. All of this is just icing on the cake, however, as farming with friends is its own reward.
In addition to clearing content faster, other players are one of the most enjoyable aspects of online gaming, and honestly if you need a reason to play with your friends, then you should just stick to soloing.These are just a few tips I've picked up along the way on how to improve your farming speed in, and they make up just a few of the near-infinite ways that players have learned to cut corners and increase the efficiency of their farming. Though Blizzard has coming in Patch 2.0.5, the patch currently has no release window, so these tactics should remain relevant for some time.Join Communities Don't have any friends to play with? Just join a Community to find a group for your playstyle and goals.You can Join a Community by opening the Communities menu and clicking Find a Community. Communities with the most members will automatically popluate at the top of your list.
While Communities will change over time, below are just a few of the communities that can help you farm more efficiently.Split Bounties: This community has players that are looking to complete split bounties. Players will typically type out the Act they are farming, the difficulty they are completing, and whether that are Looking for Group (LFG) or Looking for More (LFM).

There is a community for both Hardcore and 'Softcore' players.Rift It Forward: Rift it Forward is a unique user created community that allows 'Runners' and 'Leechers' to have more efficient rift sessions. A 'Runner' is a player (or players) that complete a Nephalem Rift, but leave the boss alive. When player(s) is ready to kill the boss and close the rift, that player will post in community chat that they are looking for 'Leechers.' Upon killing the Rift Guardian and closing the rift, one leecher (chosen by the runner) will re-open a new rift for the runner to complete and leave the game.
This gives the Runner 'Free' rifts since other players are opening rifts for them to clear. A 'Leecher' is a player that wishes to join a Runner in killing a Nephalem Rift Guardian and closing the rift. One of the Leechers in the game is expected to open a new rift for the Runner, allowing the Runner to continue clearing rifts for free.
The benefit of being a Leecher is that you can rapidly earn Blood Shards, which you can spend on specific slots of gear.Class Rift Runs: There are several communities for each class to complete Rift runs with all 4 members being of the same class. Since players can share gear with each other, players will communicate what items they are looking for. If said item drops for one player in the group and they do not need it, it is expected that they will give it to the player who needs it instead of salvaging the item at the Blacksmith.Share Loot Between Your Characters Items in your possession, regardless of whether it is equipped or in your stash, can be shared between your own characters. The only restriction on this is that Hardcore characters cannot share items with Non-Hardcore Characters and vice-versa.If you are looking to farm loot for another class and already have gear from another class that share the same, you can use the same items to begin farming on higher difficulties.

Example: If you have a Barbarian that is decently geared, but wish to farm gear for a new level 70 Crusader, you can simply throw your Barbarian's gear in the stash and equip it onto your Crusader. In many cases, this will allow your new level 70 Crusader to dive right into the higher difficulties. Random Loot is Random While there are very minor ways to control what items drop (IE: Playing on Master versus Torment if you are not looking for Torment-exclusive drops), at the end of the day the Random Loot drop is completely random.Many players try to make sense of the randomness and try to control it using certain 'farming methods.' The reality is that these methods rarely work to the player's advantage and require the player to trick the system.The 'Junger Method' One example of this is what is known to the Diablo 3 community as the 'Junger Method.' This method of farming is in place to farm that only drop from a Bounty Cache (IE: ). The assumption of this method is that a player is guaranteed a Legendary item drop at least once every two hours and tries to control the 'Legendary Pity Timer' so that it is used on the Cache versus a drop.
In order to try to 'trick the system', the rules are to never kill more than what is required or open any chests/click any lootable items so that you minimize the chance to have a Legendary item drop.The problem with this method is that you cannot control whether a legendary will drop or not. It is simply random. Once a legendary item drops, there is absolutely no guarantee that you will get a legendary from your bounty cache.The other misconception is regarding the 'Legendary Pity Timer.' This 'pity timer' works behind the scenes and was implemented by Blizzard to provide players with an extremely bad string of luck a Legendary drop. There is no buff or notification icon that the 'Pity Timer' is in effect, so the player will not know at any point on whether this is active or not. The perception on this buff is that after 2 hours of not having any legendaries dropping, the game will increase the chances of a legendary to drop greatly.While some claim that this method works, keep in mind that the Random Drop system is simply random. Most players will never take advantage of the 'Pity Timer' so they may have had the item drop simply out of pure good luck.

Since there is no triggers in game to let you know if the 'pity timer' is active, the player will never know.Bottom Line Bottom Line, random is random. The more you play, the more items you will get. It is best to just try not to make any sense out of the randomness and simply play to enjoy the game!
