The state of acquiring transfigured gems in SSFHC is STILL in an abysmal state.

Putting builds behind lab grinding just blows.

I mean, that's kinda your own fault if you play SSF though. Clearly lab grinding was set up to allow madlads to run that content for profit.

Honestly, these sorts of complaints are why if I ever feel masochistic enough to play SSF, I'll only stick to builds that don't depend on any uniques or trans/woke gems to function.

I can't imagine it being a whole lot of profit given every character that is made gets at least 4 if they complete all labs for free so the market is saturated. When it was in heist you had to actually invest in the content to get the gems.

Also in sc trade theyre really not worth anything unless you buy 21/23 regular gems and transfigure them with special lab. Im not sure if you can do corrupted ones in normal lab but ive only done it in gift.

Back when you could farm heist and find 10d gems that was fun.

If you're playing ssf just play a red gem, theyre way easier to get since devs dont want to make more red gems.

So let me get this straight, you choose to play SSF and then choose to play a build that relies on getting a transfigured gem to work while playing SSF?

What about...I don't know, maybe you choose a build that works better in SSF by not relying you get a certain gem?Just a thought.

It's like playing a glasscannon build in HC and complaining you are dying too easily.

back ... when you could farm heist...

Bro heist took longer to get what you needed what are you on about?


You realize you had to get a specific type of blueprint, unsual gems, to even get those as a reward right?

And then it was all RNG.


At least with lab you have several options that can limit what you can get, one that ALMOST guarantees what you can get as well.


TLDR.... SSF is known for things like this, dont play it if you arent ready for it.
