Quote:But what's with the chipped gems? Has some cube recipe come up that suddenly makes them valuable again?
3 chipped gems + magical sword = magical sword of the same base type with random affixes plus 3 sockets.
It's a powerful cube recipe, to be sure.
With it, you can buy any crappy magical Colossus Blade and cube away with 3 chipped gems. If you get lucky, you might get a Cruel Colossus Blade with huge damage and 3 empty sockets (and maybe even a decent suffix). All you need is a lot of chipped gems.
"Cruel" can only spawn with a few sword base types (Colossus Blade, Colossus Sword, Champion Sword, and I forget the rest) with this recipe. I'm sure someone will fill in the blanks shortly.
