Diablo 3 Gems Farming

Farming Gems
Hello, was wondering if anyone has used this as a method of gem farming before.
I noticed at the weekend when doing a hellforge rush with a friend that if you dont all leave the game and do one hellforge for all the characters then the forge still squirts out all the gems for each character but only one rune. In our case we had 4 pcs so three rush characters and we got 3 perfects, 6 flawless etc. I was wondering whether anyone with lots of computers has tried this for collecting gems, anyone who can get 8 versions of diablo running at once can very quickly rush 7 normal characters through to the normal hell forge in a few minutes and get approx 11 perfects for their troubles, repeat this a few times and although it would be mind numbingly boring I cant see any quicker way of farming perfects.
Just a little thought that has been bouncing around in my head for the last few days but then again how many folk have access to 8 pcs/copies of diablo.
Cheers

Page Tools Diablo 3 players pride themselves on their quick and efficient farming techniques, and seek to find faster and more effective ways to rake in loot, gold, and experience. Torment Rifts have a good amount of Experience Pools, and many players will try to stack pools while farming keys, making sure not to die on that character. Alternatively, many groups will take 5-10 minutes before they greater rift to stack 10 pools using the Enchantress Quest “A Sister’s Voice” from Act V Campaign Mode. The Countess is the best rune dropper; she once dropped 4 runes for me! Usually it's 2, sometimes 3, seldom is it only one. The higher your clvl, the better the drops throughout the Tower, which will yield chipped gems or a chipped skull (1-2) ammys (1-2) a charm (0-1)and a ring (0-1). The Forgotten Tower is a farmer's delight!

Diablo 3 Gem Farming 2020


Statistics: 1 run takes me ~30 minutes, including vendoring.
I use a Wizard with Teleport - Wormhole to move quickly.
Item Pick-up philosophy: Too many trips to town can kill run speed. I pick up all rare ilvl 61+ items, and of course any legendaries that drop. I also always pick up gems. (As well as demonic essences, but thats a given)
  • Optional Step 0) Start a game using 'The Imprisoned Angel - The Cursed Hold' quest per a normal butcher run. Once the game starts, WP to the northern highlands and run west. If the watch tower didn't spawn (25-50% spawn rate dungeon with 1-6 elite mobs, 0-1 resplendant chests, and 0-1 treasure goblins) re-make the game. If it did spawn, we'll come back with 5 stacks (since treasure goblins respond to stacks).

Edit: Here's a pic of what to look for. It's often a bit further from the WP, but always on that western edge:http://i.imgur.com/dNOng.jpg
  • Step 1) Go to the festering woods. There are 2 guaranteed small dungeons with a champion pack in each. You should find at least 1 champion in the area. Town portal out and way point back inbetween.
  • Step 2) With 2-3 (probably 3) stacks, go to the cemetery There are 3 small dungeons each with 1-2 champions. Since they might only have one, leave (town portal -> waypoint) as soon as you kill the first). This gets you to 5 stacks. Clear all the tombs even if you get 5 early.
  • Step 3) WP to leoric's manner. Run back through the manner (0-1 packs) and outside. The courtyard has a guaranteed pack.
  • Step 6) Optional WP back to the northern highlands and clear the watch tower.
  • Step 7) Optional key farming - If you are playing with Monster Power, go to the Fields of Misery and kill the Keywarden there.
  • Step 8) Optional - go to each other WP and check for very close / obvious champion packs. A lot of areas got density.

A note on large areas: Patch 1.0.8 update: Monster density has been increased, so most areas are worth searching these days, large areas, small areas, caves, all contain a lot more mobs than before, and in the future blizzard has said they will also be buffing any remaining areas that do not have good mob density.
