As the title implies, the question is whether socketing a ruby in your helm for more xp works for greater rift quests. Obviously it works on killing monsters.
Thanks
If you can run a Greater Rift, you have reached level 70. Read the fine print on the gem.
XP boost at level 70 is minimal.

XP with ruby in your hat is severely gimped once you hit level 70. Put a diamond in your hat instead. Going faster or going to a higher GR because of more CDR will net you more xp than the ruby will.

Know that it’s benefit is minuscule after level 70, and won’t do any proper impact on your play besides being detrimental. Because a Ruby on helmet means you don’t have Topaz or Diamond there. If you really want such bonus, I guess you can toss it to your Follower, but the benefit efficiency will be only about a fifth of the value.
I use a ruby in helm for my GR ZDH support build. Yes, the XP boost is minimal, but with the way that build works, you don’t gain much with any of the other gem types either.
I like to put whatever my main stat gem is in there for double gem drops.
One can always use the Cube to convert batches of gems (9 at the time at a suitable level).
