You don't have the benefit from the coin cities while in the other realms, which should be half of the time. On the other hand, the banish events are less crowded, and you should be in your home guild about half of the time (you will need a guild in the other realms, unless you want to join the enemy).

Farming the gems themselves isn't a whole lot of trouble. You can do it while you refresh during banish, and when you have some time to kill during your day/evening. You don't have to do it 24/7. I've been doing that and my weapons/spirits are level 100/90/80.
