Lab for trans gems SUCKS SO BAD

As to running Uber lab to do this, for 4 hours, in SSF, uh-huh, how many Offering of the Goddess do you have playing SFF? I'm playing SSF, I don't have enough Offerings to do this barring taking an obscenely long time to do each lab, which if so, you have not really run that many labs to expect to get your transfigured gem in 4 hours.

You get a fair amount running Heist and Ritual actually. Haven't entered a single trial the entire season. This is without actively seeking them out



I agree though that the new system is much, much better than the old Heist system. Prime and Secondary orbs had a chance to give you what you craved, but certain gems had lower odds than others. Lets never go back to that system..

I have 15 of them. Obviously I don't run Heist, but, yes, I see them offered in Rituals. Can't say I always pick them up when I see them, but even if I picked up everyone one I saw, I still don't think I'd have 29 of them.

So maybe I do have enough to keep me busy for 4 hours (now, not when I needed my transfigured gem), but personally, I'd just run Merciless Lab, it's far easier/faster, until I got what I need and move on. While Lab is way better than Heist, I don't really care to run the Lab unless I need gems/gem quality/gem XP.

Don't you wanna cope for Exceptional gems? Because they're not that rare to be honest ^^

I play SSF and it is what it is...a damn slot machine and we take what we get. Even on trade someone had to farm those gems for them to be be availible to trade for.

I'm a new player and even I know that you really can't build around specific RNG based items in SSF.

Yes, at some point I need to run labs for exceptional gems. Problem is, my build works without them. I'd certainly be more powerful with some Enlightens, but until I run into something where I just need to be more powerful, I don't really have the motivation to go do it. I'm more of a casual player now, if you can call someone with level 93 character in SSF at T13/14 maps casual. I call it casual because I now play on/off for about the first month of league and quit after reaching 16 challenges, assuming I don't quit sooner. Before going casual, I'd always get 36/38 challenges, and way back in the beginnings POE, when Softcore/Hardcore had unique challenge rewards, blow through software as quickly as possible, then switch to hardcore. But it all became too much, got burned out, and now I need my 6 to 8 weeks of downtime between leagues.

Also Delve.

I've found tons of trials in maps and I usually skip them because running Delve is enough for me to literally never run out of Offerings.
