I'm aware of this page - this is actually what I'm using to input the data into a spreadsheet this tool will use. \n\nI'm looking for a tool that would allow you to enter a list of gems and tell you exactly which classes you need to start and what quest you need to get to, along with what rewards you need to accept along the way, in order to quickly get this list of gems."

If a gem is not on that page, then it is a drop-only gem and must be acquired by trading with other players or just getting lucky.\n\nOne trick I use that helps with gem collecting: When I'm leveling a character and complete a quest, if none of the offered quest gems are relevant to my build, I just don't pick a reward. Then, when I need a gem later on that character or another, I can use the wiki page and my character's quest log to determine if I have that gem available as an unclaimed reward somewhere.",
