Perhaps the name "Time-Lost Jewels" is an homage to the amount of time you will lose trying to farm them? :) :(

Lol!

Here's my small sample data; I ran about 10 trials in the last days (I think three were lvl 80, others slightly lower). Died once + couldn't finish the boss once (ran out of flask charges on my Poisonous concoction pathfinder halfway through the final boss, lol) - so that's 8 end rooms;

- 2x Grand spectrum chests (one ruby life, one elem.resist sapphire)
- 2x Time-Lost chests (7 jewels total)
- Quite a lot of royal chests

---

So, maybe on the lucky side? Dunno. Relics chests are ok too, everything else is trash. At least the gold chests should drop 100k not those paltry sums.

I am starting to think (feel?) that the amount of Honour at the end of the run has some influence. Curious what your approx Honour amount is when you get Time-Lost chests?

Hi all,

I was wanting to share my experience to hopefully get some insight, or provide feedback for GGG.

I have been trying to farm jewels of all types from Trial of the Sekemas. This includes Spectrum, Time-Lost and of course normal ones as well. I have literally run it about a dozen times all the way to the very end. However, I have literally only had just one opportunity to get any non-basic jewels (i.e. ones that aren't from the Royal chests). That one chest that was bestowed upon me was a Spectrum chest. Absolutely no Time-Lost chests though. Note that I am very thorough when checking for the Gold Time-Lost Chests.

I will be honest, I really do not enjoy the Trial of the Sekemas content. Successfully getting to the end ~45mins(ish) later to no meaningful reward is frankly a kick in the ball and makes me resent my time being wasted. I just want to farm Time-Lost jewels to improve my build or sell and make a little bit of currency. My understanding is that there is no other place to farm these jewels (with the exception of some specific pinnacle boss reward jewels).

I find this to be a dreadful gameplay experience, and was curious as to whether or not I am alone in feeling this way. What has been the experience of you all? Is there any "trick" to efficient unique jewel farming?

I look forward to reading all your responses.

Thanks.

I feel you explain this really well.

1) The rate of finding these special jewels feels very low and discouraging. I've only ever found 1 time-lost chest, and no spectrum chest.

2) Secondly, the trial doesn't feel very fun. I can do lvl 80 trials. But it just doesn't feel worth my time to do it. I'd rather spend that time doing maps.

I'm SSF, btw.
