The current guide reviewed for this batch says the old gem drop cap is gone. That does not remove the four socket positions or make a high-quality gem free to craft.
Method / Leknok ↗Why older farming advice differs
Community discussions about the old small-gem-equivalent cap describe a previous ruleset. Do not use those limits as a current inventory rule without checking the game version. The October reset and subsequent crafting changes make dates especially important.
Plan around the loadout you can equip
Use the calculator to compare four socketed gems, the item power you actually have and any applicable multiplier. We do not recommend farming a particular old Capstone indefinitely based on an archived guide. Check current recipes and rewards in game before spending resources.
