“Whenever a gem drops, a gem of the type socketed into your helmet also drops. This effect does not apply to Legendary Gems. (Emanates)”
For some reason gem goblins ignores effect, so you get random gems, that seems to be always.
And for chests it’s kinda so so, sometimes it drops based on the gem you’re wearing, sometimes it goes random, or few drops at first it works as intended, and then goes random, from the same chest, in terms of drop order.
Best variant would be when broken crown is on follower, then the gem in the follower helmet is considered when gems drop, instead of using character helmet gem.
Plus the emanate point is kinda lost on Broken Crown, you still have to use the right gem in your character slot, even though yeah it’s how emanate works, but that’s not the point of why emanate exists.
At the moment doesn’t matter if it’s on your on the follower, it’s equally broken, ironically that’s the name of the helmet, broken crown. Albeit yeah the gem on the character does matter, when it does work.
20) I’m not getting the correct Gems from Broken Crown on the follower
The emanated power is given to your hero, not to your follower. This means the colour of the extra gems is based on which gem is in your hero’s helm, not your follower’s helm.
So, the colour of gem in the helm, when equipped on the follower, is completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the colour of the gem that’s in your hero’s helm because that’s the colour of the gems that you’ll get extras of. This is entirely the point of why emanate exists, i.e. it’s like having lots of extra Cube powers active, but instead of them being in the Cube, they’re being provided by your follower.
As for why it might work sometimes, and not work at other times, that’s because if your follower is dead, they stop emanating their equipped gear’s powers. This is why you should equip your follower with one of the “Follower cannot die” items, so they’ll always be emanating the powers.
Wrong. Absolutely wrong about everything what you assumed what was happening for me. You’re right how the effect works, at least you can read that much.
My follower cannot die literally. Like nobody’s follower can basically die if they actually play the game properly, if yours does, then wth are you doing even here lecturing people based on assumptions.
I know that it counts my gem in the helmet, I literally said it.
And I used the broken crown on myself and I still get random gems.
It’s basically like the first few gems I get are based on the broken crown effect and the gem in my character helmet slot, and the rest are totally random, especially noticeable with gem goblins. And sometimes even when 2 gems only drop, first will be based on character gem and the second is whatever.
So the effect for me is more of like 50% of first gem drops are based on broken crown and character gem, and the rest whatever.
Next time read, stop assuming stuff. Have a nice day.
Let’s say your hero has a Diamond in their helm. You kill a gem goblin that, without the helm’s effect, would have dropped 2 of each gem colour. The Broken Crown’s effect means you’d get 10 extra diamonds. This means, you’d get a pile of gems like this…
2 Amethysts
12 Diamonds
2 Emeralds
2 Rubies
2 Topazes
You get whatever gems you’d normally get, i.e. any colour, it’s just that you also get the same number of gems that match the colour of the one in your helm added to them.
Yes, that’s exactly what’s supposed to happen. Let’s say you have a Diamond in your helm, and a mob drops a Ruby. The helm’s effect causes an extra gem to drop whose colour matches the one in your helm, i.e. a Diamond. So, what appears on the ground is a Ruby and a Diamond.
This is incredibly easy to test. With the helm in effect, with a Diamond in it, kill a gem goblin. It will be impossible for the pile of gems not to have way, way more diamonds in it than any other colour, because if the normal total of gems was going to be 10 gems, the helm will cause another 10 diamonds to drop. This means you’d have at least 10/20 of the gems being Diamonds.
My reading’s just fine. I understand exactly how the crown works (and isn’t bugged). That’s why the stickied Things That Are NOT Bugs thread I linked actually includes a number of items from myself, the bit I quoted being one of them. It’s been the accepted explanation since about a week after the Broken Crown became able to emanate, i.e. probably a couple of years at this point.
If you think I’ve misunderstood what you think is wrong with it, post a thread in the Bug Report forum, with a detailed explanation. Be prepared, however, for a lot of the regulars to direct you to the stickied post.
Now that makes more sense than your first post. What you posted first was wrong either way.
Thanks for answering anyway.
Didn’t know it drops more gems, though it would just replace gems.
