Top-tier Farmable Gem Chalices

Choose a route

  • First define your desired damage type, shape and secondary effect.
  • Check the dungeon rites and boss layer. Published high-level routes often use depth 5 root chalices.
  • Glyphs are the identifiers published in the local wiki. Their presence here does not guarantee that a dungeon is still shared online.

Rites for these three routes

The three glyphs above are published with Fetid, Rotted and Cursed rites. Secondary bonuses and curses remain random. A short route can be more useful than a very rare theoretical best result.

Gem effects and acquisition

Define the primary effect, secondary effect and shape, then choose a target that can provide that combination.

For a glyph, check the chalice and its rites. The variants below distinguish chalice routes from world treasures.
