Where will the transfigured gems announced?

Ok, but if you get the random one every time in normal and every gem has the same odds to appear it would still be harmless compared to other droprates in the game and it would actually be viable in ssf to farm your desired skill gem for a couple of hours.

In the Q&A they said only skills which are typically used as main damage dealers in 6links (dont remember the exact phrasing) will get transfigured versions. IIRC it was also explicitely mentioned that Auras and Heralds dont get any.

That is already not true so idk why did they say that. They gave us both Frost Bomb and Flame Dash. Last time I checked people dont run those with 6-link

So I just checked and there do seem to be some on poe.ninja who actually do that. (Not trying to say that that is compatible with what was being said in the Q&A (which I dont remember exactly anyway).)

I think we are getting 1-2 gems for every single skill gem in the game (might not be all of them this league)

Yes, however its random gem. You cannot pick. And seeing how they shown in stream "100+ new gems", you will have less than 1% chance to get gem you want.
Ofc with trading it will be easy to get, but dont expect to have ur gem of a choice day 1 at lvl 30.

Not quite. The normal lab allows you to upgrade a gem of a specific color, and you are presented with 3 options. So you place a blue gem in and get 3 transfigured blue gems as potential outcomes and you can pick one of them or none of them. Odds of getting the specific gem you want first try are not that high, but doing a few runs this is meant to be a fast and easy way to get the gems you want, even though the higher tier lab has an option to just upgrade a specific gem to it's transfigured version(s).

By logic and compared to other content in the game it is probably fairly easy.

They said over 100 trans gems?. Dunno let's assume it will be 200. If normal Lab offers the chance to transform a gem every time and you get to choose from 3, it would be 1,5% to hit. It is probably less than 200 gems and you also get the chance to transform certain colors and get an outcome from that color...So very realistic outcome, if you run normal lab for several hours you will probably hit.
But if lab doesn't offer the option to transform a gem everytime then the odds would go down drastically of course.

IIRC only uber lab gives you option to pick gem of specific color. Normal one has the random ones.

source? all i've heard is that getting those gems are from the uber lab. and not a word of getting them from the first 3 labs.

I thought that is only for uber lab and in normal you get random one, w/o picking. If thats even for normal lab I might leaguestart with trans gem.

ZiggyD - "I'm interested in that idea of players running into it as a course of their regular gameplay. Does that mean that there's a pretty good likelihood that each time you run Normal, Cruel, and Merciless Labyrinth for the first time--maybe you only do them the one time--are you going to actually get a relevant gem reward upgrade each run?"

Mark - "The option is always there...so, one of the crafts on the bench is always to convert it to a Transfigured Gem, it's not like that one's random. Whether or not you get the one you exactly want obviously is not reliable, but you will always get--so the common one that's put there is, if you put in an Int gem, you will get an Transfigured Int gem back, so at least it's likely that if you put in a spell you'll get a spell. And if you don't want to take it, you can just be like 'Nah, I don't want it' and take your gem back and then try again next time. It doesn't like force you to--you can put your primary skill in there hoping for the best, and if you don't get it, you take it back and just keep playing your build, or you can run it again if you want, or you can wait until Cruel and run it.

And it is worth noting, I know this is a bit later in the game, but the Uber Labyrinth has two crafts by default instead of one now, so that when you get to the end you get more opportunities at doing it.

One tactic could be that knowing that the Normal Labyrinth is the shortest and easiest to get through, you can--a high level player can just run it a number of times just to try and get the right transfigured gem, but obviously you won't get a lot of the good crafts and a lot of the good rewards that also come from it. But if that was your way to try to get the most appropriate Transfigured gem the fastest, that is a tactic. It's not meant to be ultra taxing and time consuming to try to get the one you want."
