If you’ve been away for some time, one thing you may not be aware of is that it’s now possible for F2P players to Awaken their legendary gear. This requires a Dawning Echo, which can now be bought with Orbs (real world money needed) or 10,000 plat, from the Blacksmithing Supplies NPC next to the smith in Westmarch.
Once you have this, visit the Jeweller to Awaken a legendary gear slot. Once awakened, as long as that gear slot has a legendary gem of Rank 4 (or higher) you will get a bonus to the ability the essence is providing, e.g. more damage, shorter cooldowns, etc.
So, you could get more benefit from having 1-star or 2-star gems at Rank 4+ and awakening the slots they’re in than trying to get 5-star gems to higher rank (which takes lots of expensive spares, and huge amounts of gem power). For example, for a 1-star, to get it to Rank 5 just needs gem power, no spares.
