Legendary Gem Creation:
If you need extra Legendary Gems to level up, you can make the Rift Guardian in any Greater Rift drop a new Rank 0 Gem by removing all the Legendary Gems with the same name from your Equipment, Inventory and Stash.
The safest way to do that is to put them into the Inventory of different character.
