Unlock Meta-gem without getting gems requirement.

[Koleo]

Hey, this is a little trick i came across when i got a meta gem open.
If for example you were trying to get Chaotic skyfire diamond which requires at least 2 blue gems:

1) Equip gear that has the gems you require for meta gem.
2) Put in your Meta-gem.
3) Unequip gear and put on what you originally had.
4) The meta-gem stays active and you dont need the gem requirement since the meta gem is already in!

Nice find man, but, I don't really understand. You put on gear with gems you need for meta, put meta on it, then put the gear you want on, but the effect from the meta gem from old gear stays on?

If it would've gone any colour it would've gone red, not grey, but it doesnt do any of that because it WORKS, im gonna add screenshots soon

The original poster incorrectly believes that you need the required gems to put and keep the meta-gem in. What he doesn't know is that you can keep the gem 'equipped' regardless of whether you have the required gems, but it will not be active if you do so.
This exploit is fail, /close.

This is just a tooltip bugg it dosent rly give you the meta bonus.

If the cog is grey does that mean you can use it?
If the meta is grey does that mean it's working?

[Plainstrider]

If the cog is grey does that mean you can use it?
If the meta is grey does that mean it's working?

Dude I'm giving you rep just for using the cog as an example, and because I actually know what it means...

[xerotsuda]

100% Fail.

That's odd, because i'm looking at my character right now and the gem is grey and i'm not receiving the bonus.

Next time, make sure your exploit works before trying to leech rep.
