Absolutely fascinating. I donāt find this many Diamond on Serp in two hours using a max-Forged Hammer with damage and AOE + Mega Fast Brew.
I really need to look into Emeralds now.

What helped me with the new refresh rate, was I have like 4-5 mines? and with the new rate they were ALL packed instead of me having to cycle one a time while waiting on refresh rates. It should be the same with diamonds too.

Very nice strategy!
Sadly, my miner already has 30 locations saved, and I canāt bring myself to delete any more, so Iāll have to drop some beacons for warps.
Issue is, I donāt think this will make the āupset peopleā happy, it will just make the ārichā richer. So expect more complaining.

My question isā¦ do you personally mine for these on Besevrona, or on Shedu Tier?
I live on shedu

you will be more effective on a T6 planet than t5 if you have the hammer for it because the yield is higher per block
I always get the max, of 3 per block. (That includes max luck)

yeah t5 is 2
Yea thatās just silly. Iāve been sitting on probably 4-5k of each gem for the last few weeks. I havenāt been able to decide if I wanted to sale, craft coils, or gear. Iām not the only one. The gems are going to drop to probably 350 over the next few weeks now that people realize the regen has been fixed and quit working on builds for a bit.
Who is going to complain about cheaper gems leading to cheaper gear/tools/coils/etc? The only ones who would complain there would be richies but weāre already rich so nothing to complain about there. You can just invest in the new ārareā material and market control it until it stabilizes.

You can do similar for topaz/sapphire on cardass and altinans I believe? I played for 30 minutes the other day and had several hundred gems.
People should start mining. The gems are a plenty. So is the ore.

Iāve mined a ridiculous amount of Sapphire and Topaz. I hadnāt realized Emeralds were anywhere NEAR this plentiful, however. And I need Emerald Grapples. So this is great for me. 
All the gems are available in these insane quantities. Itās a matter of mapping them, which can be a pain in the rump but easy speazy once you mark the locations. Rubies were always complained about but there are insane pockets of them all over alcyon. Diamonds too. And titanium is as common as copper on tier 1s really. Shedu poops out emeralds and half as many amethyst. And topaz/sapphire got covered already.
I havenāt notices any difference in gems at all as far as spawns go. Once you have a full regen you should be able to pull in similar returns no matter which gem youāre farming. At least thatās been my experience.
Youāre missing the part, where they changed the regen system.

Over the course of the last few weeks, I guess you missed that as well? Itās been noticeable.
Edit: the changes have been getting made, if youāve been mining regularly you noticed the uptick in yields per pie/hammer. The only new revelation is we were given hard data on the regen tweaks.
I mine everyday, I sell everyday, I was talking about the system overall. I never stated a time.

You specifically imply time by stating the new respawn rate which I noted has been changing over the last few weeks and then you argue something about system and time and you referred to this and not to that
I specifically addressed your comment by saying its silly for people to manufacture a reason to be angry over increased regen rates. I then commented on Pendragonās post that he should see similar yields for all gems now that the regen rates have been tweaked, which seems to be where youāre pulling an argument out of I guess.
Regardless, no one should be complaining about the new regen rates. It provides cheaper gems which means cheaper tools which means a better player experience.
You guys enjoy your Halloween, I know Iām about to! 
Some of us, didnāt want cheaper gems.
Also, no one was complaining.
