This usually leaves me with the bare minimum gear necessary for T16 farming and GR90. I also play on 6 accounts each Season, so I feel compelled to finish the Season Journey (to Guardian) on all of them before I start any grinding or pushing. I take everything out of my pack for regular farming and pushing. I don’t keep anything in my backpack except 3 Broken Crowns (socketed with the 3 gems I need) while doing Bounties, so I can maximize the gem drops from Diabolic Hoards for the type of gem I need.

Lose those and you’re back to equipping Flawless Imperials. It takes a good long while to collect the 648 Marquise gems needed just to put Flawless Royals in armor and weapon. I should have specified that I’ve been playing pretty much exclusively hardcore Seasonal, and starting from scratch like that, materials are scarce. The most convenient part of this method is that all gems are left in your backpack, to make it easy to distribute them to you whatever your new build is. Then you can use your Remove Gear build to take that gear off and put it in your backpack. Now, no matter what build you’re using, you can go to the Armory and select, “Remove Gems,” and the Armory will switch you to the gear you were using when you saved your Remove Gems build, and your gems will be in your backpack. Select your next open slot in the Armory, select Save, and name this build, “Remove Gear.” You should now be standing in front of the Armory with all of your gear and gems in your backpack inventory. Now remove all of your gear and drop it into your backpack inventory (or anywhere else, it doesn’t matter, it will always end up back in your backpack inventory). Walk over to the Armory, find your first open slot, select Save, and name this build, “Remove Gems.” You’ll need two open Armory slots to use this method.įirst, go to Covetous (the jeweler) and remove all Legendary gems and gemstones from your gear.

It’s always a pain to remove the gems and jewels from a set of armor for a new build.
