Sparkling Gems

Rare is good, but almost non-existing is not. Looks silly actually.

you can get all that from potent without losing mod??
my warlock alt has 32k mod with nearly 500 dps solo, full haste. should be close to 600 dps when I get EV. will be easy 600 when I finish leveling my green adorns in potent gear
where my illy has 16k mod with 800 dps solo in the no sta gear.
but if I were to drop myself to say 600 dps I couldn't gain enough mod to be at 32k on my illy
that reforging too strong

you loose out on the WDB/SWDB part.
or on potency.
or on stamina.
whichever you choose.
or whatever the raid requires.

the only thing you would loose out of is SWDB, and I would argue that 10-15k more ability mod is more important to a wizzy/warlock instead of 30 SWDB. but I haven't been able to crunch the numbers yet

there are those of us who do consider this to be best in slot and just seeing how rare this item is just makes me sad. i'll give out all my etyma for one of this sparkling fabled gems if it's all that it would take!

Would be better if they allowed the overcharged gems to actually be used in place of the sparkling gem, like you can do in potent gear instead of using the etmya gem you can put the raid dropped gem to make 3/3 potent and then make 4/3

I'm just seriously getting tired of this... been running Fabled Halls of Fate on 4 different characters every single day for the past couple of weeks since the zone was released and i've only seen one that I didn't even win!

So freaking tired already and haven't heard anything from anyone in SoE to address this issue or at least comment on it.

I'd like more information on this... How does this work?

he wasn't saying it was possible, he was saying it should be possible cause it would be a good alternative

I'd like more information on this... How does this work?

it is a know bug if you use a overcharged gem on a piece of potent gear that not already 3/3 it's stillconsume and act like a normal green gem

Does this mean that, for example, a Potent piece with 0/3 gems would become 1/3?
Interesting.

Does applying the mutagenic gem before it's fully gemmed preclude it from becoming "overcharged", or does it just automatically overcharge if you say add the mutagenic gem and then 3 greens?

Edit (again): If my understanding is correct, until it is 3/3 the mutagenic gems just get consumed like a regular green, and then you can overcharge it with another mutagenic gem.

I would more than likely believe that you will only be able to attain 4/3 if you apply the mutagenic gemstones to a 3/3 piece of potent gear. If you apply it in any lesser state, the mutagenic acts like a regular gem and gets consumed.

It is not a bug, it is intended that you can use the Mutagenic gemstones on any tier of Potent Armor. We will have to make sure the wording on these items is more clear

thanx for the response how about a change to get the sparkling gems to drop more as well while we are at it

Can anyone confirm that you can use two of these on the dreadlord pieces to overcharge them without a sparkling gem. That will affect how my bidding goes tonight in labs with 5 pieces still missing the sparkling gems. If the first will make it 1/1 then you can o/c it to 2/1 that is pretty nice, since there is no way in he.ll I was going to see all the sparkling gem I needed.

no it does not work that way
the sparkling gem makes the item into a potent armor piece witch you then can use the overcharge item on it to make it 2/1

Thank you for this. Any chance you can take a look at the droprate on this item? is it intended to have such a low droprate and only come from Fabled Halls of Fate?

I've been constantly running that zone every day with various alts to get that Sparkling Fabled Gem and i've seen the Rare Charm from the last boss drop more often than the actual gem.
