PoeStashGems that are worth buying at level 1, leveling and selling. Three methods, each ranked on its own. Expected value covers every outcome, not only the target.
Changing these rescales every row equally. The ranking does not move.

Gem leveling ranks every skill gem by the chaos it earns per hour of experience: what the leveled or corrupted gem sells for, minus what the raw gem costs, divided by the hours the leveling takes at your XP rate. Vaal Orb and double corrupt outcomes are weighted by their real odds, so each figure is an expected value, not a jackpot.
Each method ranks its gems by profit per hour, so the best gem in the current league is at the top. The ranking follows prices and moves through the league. Scarce supports like Empower and Enlighten pay best while they last. The demand label shows how many players run a gem, which is what makes a listing sell.
The sell price minus the raw gem’s cost, divided by the hours of experience the leveling needs at your XP rate. Both the XP per hour and the number of gems you level at once are inputs you can set. Changing them rescales every row equally.
Sometimes. A Vaal Orb has several outcomes, and each is weighted by its real chance against its own sell price, so you see the expected value and not the best case. Double corrupts at a Doryani’s Institute are ranked the same way, so you can compare plain leveling against both.
