These high-rank Gems will be used on your pushing gear. Later on you can level a new set of Gems and use a 4-Player group to push them higher than speedfarming tiers.

The usual strategy with augmenting is to level your Gems to whatever GR tier you can speedrun in less than 3 minutes, then use them to augment your speedfarming gear. These upgrade attempts can be used on any Gem that you have on your character or in your shared stash. 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. The chance of successful upgrade is based on the Greater Rift tier related to the Gem’s rank. 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.
