How do you delevel a gem?

I believe they are separated by difficulty as I tend to see the same bunch of people on chat whenever I'm on and the general consensus is the same.

And by testy, I was telling you that there was no need to get annoyed as you clearly have some problem with me asking nooby questions on the forum. You can simply choose to keep scrolling.

Though late, I do thank you for answering because it worked in deleveling. =)

I agree with stretch, please ask ingame or use the search function before dedicating a thread to the subject. Helps reduce clutter.

If you cannot easily find your answer with the search function, then by all means ask.

i agree with waffle. there is nothing wrong with asking newbie questions on the forum but it's wrong start lecturing others in the forum about what they shall do or not and so clutter the forum even more.

if you would have searched yourself you would have found out that it's not easy to find an answer to that question.

additionally most old posts on the forum are not accessible anymore (permission denied), for example here
http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/15429/highlight/
It would have answered his question.

Try to sell the orb + gem to a merchant : >

correct..

The other alternatives are :-

1: Ask ingame saves wasting a post on forums

2: Use that incredible search function on forums thats what its there for.

Asking on the forums catalogs the question as well as the answer, if given, allowing future questions on the same topic to be searched for.

Also, your post contradicts itself.

You can't accuse someone of "wasting a post on forums" and then yourself make a post that doesn't contribute to the thread at hand. -_-

Did you even think before you posted? If you told everyone to ask in game instead of forums and everyone listened there would be no posts for him to search for, as per your second statement.

Just because you are Gold Member doesn't give you a right to be rude to other players. Ingame questions are often ignored, looking up info on forum can be difficult if you do not know exactly where to look. I bet 90% of PoE players do not know how to lower gem level, in fact most probably don't even know about merchant recipes.

I hope that big donors do not get special privileges on the forum and get slapped for bad behavior like everyone else.

So posting on a general forum and waiting for a reply is lazy. How so? And have you tried asking questions on Ruthless difficulty? You'll get almost no response everything. So I will be asking inane questions on the forums until I progress to Merciless.

Next time, jump back to Normal. If I'm there, you'll get an answer. Even if I'm not, I've seen plenty of people give quick, helpful responses in the default global chat.

This was not a waste of a forum post nor was it causing clutter. Sometimes the search function doesn't play nicely, something I hope we see improved in the future.

Now that the answer has been given, I'll be closing this.
