Question: what are empowered rifts in diablo 3?
Answer: Empowered Rifts The amount of gold a player needs to spend to empower a rift scales with Rift rank. An empowered Rift grants +1 attempt to upgrade Legendary Gems in the end (to a total of 4), in addition to the extra +1 attempt for a rift without any deaths (up to a total of 5).
