You get 3 character slots and the next 2 cost gems. The consumables trader takes gems for buff items, the Weapons and Armor trader also takes gems but again not really worth it. also if you craft them you get to pick the stats. You can drop the level and the quality from Legendary to Epic and below to drop the crafting costs, which drops stats but if you don't have the mats. SET PIECES you can get from drops but also from CRAFTING, there is one set that costs 100 Glory on each class and the rest are bought from the vendor. Refresh the recipe vendor whenever you can and get the 50.000 gold one each time assuming you have the cash, even if you don't think you'll need it you might some day, remember gold is easy. I hope you are salvaging every item you can instead of selling for gold, gold is easy 'Marks of Titan' are not, and you need them for HIGH end crafting. Don't believe me? Check out the trinkets you can make. I never want to let my gems drop below about 200 because if 'I NEED 200 NOW!!!' i don't want to have to suspend everything else to go and farm.ĬRAFTING is a good way to spend Gems and also GLORY points, work on your crafting, it will pay off. The Companions from the tavern ARE basically useless, unless you want to stack companion heals for a tough battle, but that's not happening any time soon. That is for EVERY skill, I'm at 10 on several skills on all regular characters my main has one skill at 6 and the rest higher, I've only have been playing for about a month and only used one upgrade slot.

One skill takes 132 hours 25 minutes from start to finish, assuming no time between which will never happen but just on the numbers, that time for 20 skills is 110 days 8 hours so less than 4 months with ONE skill upgrade slot. Unlock the 'Ability upgrade slot' is kind of useless too, do the math.

(OK so a 'Mark of Titan' for under 30 gems is not a bad idea I think I got my first MoT that way on a VERY low level so you might as well check) The chests are almost a scam, they don't 'STAY OPEN' you are just blowing gems on nice stuff that can be found in any 'FREE' chest from drops and from salvaging items.
