You'd probably want to kill something high-level if you want a high-level jewel, though.Or the "opposite" viewpoint thus... if I want jewels of Envy, killing weenie (mlvl 1..3) monsters is more likely to get me what I want or, if not, a jewel that I can reroll with 3 perf gems for a 1/9 chance of converting it to what I want. Of course he didn't say that was why he wanted a jewel (and any jewel at all does just fine for crafting) but it is one of the interesting additional qualifications to look at. (Especially if you are farming Hephasto for runes, rushing a lot of characters there, and getting lots of net perfs to burn if you can work your way up to rushing more effectively with Envy).
As I've mentioned in another thread, Envy is a pretty nice twink until you hit clvl 15 or 18. Kinda fun that sometimes you *want* the low ilvl items instead of something "better" (Gull comes to mind, e.g.).
