So I've been building an obsidian house, along this vein I've been delving into astrolobe deserts (with Forge active and mining with Obero's Bounty) for stone and gems. Now my question is if I up the difficulty of the realm, does that result in more resource nodes or just higher level enemies?

just higher level enemies. And also slightly more essences in the POI reward bundles.
but no change to resources - amounts or variety.

Ok so just stay at base difficulty. Got it. Thanks.
Any pro tips aside from what I outlined above to get a bunch of gems without hiring followers to do it?
I do desert astrolobe as I feel like the resource nodes are easier to find and the caves usually have amber. But if there is a prime major/minor realm card combo to get the most crystal resources im all ears. ^_^
Also im not sure if Forge only effect ore and stone but not sure if it's increasing the yield of my gem mining. I see there is a minor for increased chest gems but I don't see any that specifically call out gem mining.

only the ghost card and another one (harverster workshop iirc) affect the gem yield, and the effect isn't strong enough to affects t5 gems
but the workstation is the faster method to acquire gem

The "workstation"? What do you mean?
You mean like having followers do it? Is that what the workstation does? (I've never messed with followers obv)
past fox
workstation are stations that your recruits will use to generate resources, except few materials, it's all t1 resources but with a normal/eminent/apogean dragon hoard card, they can generate t2/t3/t4 gem (only minable gem not the ones dropped by mobs)
