Can't find much on this, and I suspect I already know the answer, but just in case I'll ask here. Are Gem drops truly random? Or do specific enemies/acts drop them more/less often than others? I'm trying to get enough max level gems to fill all my sockets and it is painfully slow.
Also, where is the best place to find the recipes for the Level 15 (Marquise) gems to teach my Artisan? I've only obtained the Ruby recipe and that was from another player who dropped it -_-. If anyone has any insight in this area I would much appreciate it!
I really do not think there is a specific place to farm them, other than the usual answer of just killing elites / champions. Treasure goblins quite often seem to give a fair amount though, where you farm goblins is beyond me. My best suggestion would be just go enjoy some bounties, always do 'level 2' of a dungeon for the resplendent chest and make sure you are on a difficulty that you have enough power to kill goblins before they escape thru the portal to Disneyland.
