I played a long time ago when the game came out. Beat the campaign and was done. Got it again now that I have my PC and I’m older and putting more time into.. so even four years after you’ve posted this it’s helped me. Lmfao thanks bro
Small tip for new players, you can't do it on nonancient items. However you can override an augment with a new one. So for example if you have a augment of a level 70 gem. You can override it with a level 80 gem. You basicly do the same thing but with a higher gem on the same item.
Thanks, been playing since the games release, and I never augmented anything because I never cared to learn. Looks like I have been missing out on some great buffs.
Thank you for the guide video, my question: is it possible to do augment ancient item with two different stats? for example after augment for str status, then can we do again but with different gem for example vit, will the stat bonus become 2 (str and vit) or we cannot do that?
Great tutorial, is it possible after augmenting to re augment with that same stat to make the level go up? For example augment with level 80 gem for 400 strength then re augment with another level 80 gem for another 400 strength and increase the level to 160
Hey nice vid! Just curious tho, if you used a level 50 legendary gem instead, would it still roll out the same amount of strength stats or lower? Thanks in advance!
No it wouldn't. It depends on the level of the gem. The level 80 in this video gave me 400 str. Watch from 5:35, you can see the rank 80 we just put on there for 400 str, then in a few seconds you can see the other ranks (levels of gems) that give less str stats.
emkplayboy6 Yes as long as it's good. Once you have a piece of gear you're settled with you should augment it to help you push further. You can always add a higher augment later.
So once you get your set that you have been farming, how do you make the peices ancient or do you just keep farming until you get all of the same peices, but they are ancient?
How do you get 51 downvotes for a tutorial video? For myself, thumbs up and thanks, I've played since release but not often and not since Primal Ancients and Augmenting. So thank you.
Hey! I'm a relatively new player and I just completed my crusader invoker set and I had a question. Since regular gems have different effects if used on weapons or helm, would the same apply for these augments? ( for example if I used yellow gems for augmenting weapon would it add more thorns instead of intelligence ) Any help would be much appreciated!
They are different but only for stats. In other words yellow gems used for augments will give intel, not thorns. Same goes for the other gems, they give the augment for their stat type and not wep slot bonus. Hope I explained that well enough lol.
Oh, well wtf, you ONLY get the stat bonus? How F-ing lame is that! Completely lose the legendary bonus of the leveled-up gem? That's sooo not worthwhile. . . .it takes months to get those past 30-40! This is tooooo much for my casual-ass.
@@apeshitcrazyman i level my gems in an hour or two. you should be able to level a gem +5 in 10 minutes. so that 50 levels in an hour. just make sure you use a gem you dont care about
@@lepricated cool, thanks for the pointers. But i don't understand how,? there's only a 5% chance to upgrade the gems i have at level 28, and i completely strike-out every time 3-4 times in a row. It's sooo frustrating. Any advice man? Im just stuck, and can't do any higher levels.
I have a question? Having a higher level gem dose that give a higher stat? Example he had 400 strength for a level 80 gem .... dose a level 100 gem have a higher stat?
Yea I seen on the lraderboards, top monk had rank 130 gems on almost all his equipment, came out to 650 dex per 130 gem, I try to hang in there til at least rank 100, which brings me another question, I was wondering if I used a level 50 gem to augment an item, could I augment it again with another rank 50 or higher?
Megagig oh, damn, that's a lot of consistent grinding then, also, can you and if you could, would you suggest adding 3 diamonds for a huge boost in all resistance? I gotta imagine if 500-600 all resistance on just one piece of gear would add to toughness big time
I was thinking the same thing... I'll lvl up gems I don't need in my set for augmenting.. This was the most simple explanation I've found so far lol ... The last guy I asked told me to augment only my highest... that didn't end well lol
This system is verry confusing someone gave one lvl 150 to me true trade & it had upgraded all stats by 5x or more i tought only 1 attribute would be upgraded instead i get 60 range puckup 4k strength 30% recharge speed so on all ???
I know that part. but Im talking about legendary gems. can you put which ever you want and does it make any difference. and is it better if its higher level
Both orange and greens can be ancient. It says right under the name. See 1:00 where it says Ancient Legendary Mighty Belt. If it wasn't ancient it would say Legendary Mighty Belt.
go to Squirt , she is a vendor in act 2 , she sells Essences , you then buy one for 500k and you can transmute them 9 at a time , any level of gem , but min of nine , so could trade 9 purple and you get 9 red or what ever essence color you want :)
What he said but you have to use the cube to convert the gems. If you've got the money it's a quick way. If not, check out my gold and gem farming video I did. It will help you farm gems quickly, especially doing bounties.

I’m no stranger to diablo, been players for over ten years, but I took a break while augmenting came out, so I’m here.

I mentioned that in the video :P I didn't really mention overriding an augment though, yes you are correct.
Oh, i didn't catch that part my bad!
No prob bob.

Thanks for this! Short, to the point, and explained in plain english.
Thanks! There's other comments about the video being too long lol.
@@megagig5501 some people are just naturally toxic and will complain about anything. For a new player, like myself, this video was great!

You sound like George Lucas.
HAHA really? I've been told I sounds like different people before but never George Lucas rofl!
Yo, now that he said that I can't unhear it. You definitely sound like George Lucas.
I went to a george lucas interview, he is right.
Great video ⭐ Liked&subbed

No you can only do one. Two would be kind of OP though.

No prob bob

Really helpful this guide

Nope. You have to use a higher augment to get a higher stat, and they don't add up :(
@@megagig5501 awe man :(
Thanks for the reply! I'm glad I asked you i have a level 50 gem I was going to put on my gear but I will level it up first
Love the music

Hey is it wise to augment a primal ancient or leave as is? Ty for this video you made it very ez to understand!
emkplayboy6 Yes as long as it's good. Once you have a piece of gear you're settled with you should augment it to help you push further. You can always add a higher augment later.
Megagig how does one get higher augment? is that based on the level of legendary gem used?
emkplayboy6 yes
Yes. Sorry I missed your second comment somehow.
So once you get your set that you have been farming, how do you make the peices ancient or do you just keep farming until you get all of the same peices, but they are ancient?

Thank you
Does the legendary gem ability get applied to the belt? Or is it just the additional stats of the gems that’s added to the item? Thanks!
Just the stats.
can you refarm the legendary gem ?
Of course. It just drops a level 1 version.

Did you get more strength because the gem was lvl 80 or would it have been 400 strength with a lvl 50 gem too?
Yes you get more the higher the gem level.
can you augment primal gear too?
Indeed you can.
Wait I don't fully understand so you don't get the buff from the gem if you augment it into a item
Not the gem buff itself no. It's just a way to put more main stats on an item.
Oh, well wtf, you ONLY get the stat bonus? How F-ing lame is that! Completely lose the legendary bonus of the leveled-up gem? That's sooo not worthwhile. . . .it takes months to get those past 30-40! This is tooooo much for my casual-ass.

Not to add it up to 100, each goes separately. So each one would add level 50 stats.

Orange gems? I must of missed them.
Where'd I say that? lol
does it matter what type of legendary gem, besides level, or do i use "throw away" L.gems tht i don't use to augment with
The gem doesn't matter but the level does. Use whatever you want, just level it first ^_^
I was thinking the same thing... I'll lvl up gems I don't need in my set for augmenting.. This was the most simple explanation I've found so far lol ... The last guy I asked told me to augment only my highest... that didn't end well lol
Just in case, where can i learn my crafter to make Royal Rubis? Or, where ca i find the receip?
I actually don't remember lol. I believe they were drops from bounties on harder torment levels.
Can someone tell me what are those orbs floating around him? Is it from the amulet?
Scratch that, just read the description of his ring.....
its from the ring dude

Not completely sure what you're saying lol. It's only supposed to be one stat per gem type unless they changed it last patch which I doubt.
Megagig i discovered true a friend it's a hacked item so i took it off i hate playing that way it ruins the game.
I thought about asking if it was hacked lol
whats the little pet dog thing you have with you?
It's a pet you can get. I believe I got him from the diablo 2 special event they held some months back.
Is there a limit to how many times you can augment a gear peace???
No but each new augment overwrites the last. So you can upgrade augments all the time but you can only have one on at a time.
I see, thanks.
You're welcome.
You can use literally any gem you want ? does it make any difference ?
Different gems will give a different stat. Green = dex, Red = Strength, etc.
I know that part. but Im talking about legendary gems. can you put which ever you want and does it make any difference. and is it better if its higher level
Burek Mali ah. Doesn't matter which one but higher level will give higher augment stat
tnx for info
Burek Mali no problemo
Does augmenting destroys gems?
Yes
ty
I don't see where it says an item is ancient or not. Does it just mean green or orange items?
Both orange and greens can be ancient. It says right under the name. See 1:00 where it says Ancient Legendary Mighty Belt. If it wasn't ancient it would say Legendary Mighty Belt.
Thank you. Didn't notice it before.
No prob.
Ancient Items also have an orange outline on the stat box when you hover over them
I don't have enough Ruby, but I have a ton of purple. Is it possible to turn my purples to Ruby instead?
