If you do not have all Legendary Gems collected, the Rift Guardian is guaranteed to drop one you are missing. These upgrade attempts can be used on any Gem that you have on your character or in your shared stash.Īll legendary Gems have a primary and secondary effect that is unlocked at rank 25.

You get 3 base upgrade attempts, one more if you don't die for the entire rift and another one if you pay Gold to empower the Greater Rift before entering it. Forgotten Souls tend to drop from these chests as well, so be sure to spend all of your Aberrant Cinders before the Helltide ends.When you complete a Greater Rift within the 15 minute time, you’re rewarded with Legendary Gem upgrades by talking to Urshi (who spawns next to slain Rift Guardian) making them more powerful! The chance of successful upgrade is based on the Greater Rift tier related to the Gem's rank. But if you are looking for a specific slot upgrade, you can't beat Tortured Chests. If your build needs a full set of new gear, Nightmare Dungeons are generally better since they drop far more items. In general, it's best to farm the Helltide when you need slot-specific upgrades. Tortured Chests have a fairly high chance of dropping Legendary items, making this a fantastic way of earning Sacred and Ancestral Legendaries for virtually all builds. On World Tier 3, this item will always be Sacred, increasing its affix stat ranges. For example, a Tortured Gift of Amulets chest is guaranteed to drop at least one amulet. The name of the chest denotes what kind of items it will drop. Unopened Tortured Chests are marked on your map while in the Helltide. Once you've acquired 75 or more Aberrant Cinders, it's time to open a Tortured Chest.
