Easy metagem activation for JCers (and others)

[valiliv]

With patch 3.2 JC-only gems are no longer prismatic, meaning that most JCers have ended up with non-activated metagems in their helms.

Instead of changing your old JC-only gems to purple or orange or whatever to fulfill the meta requirements, note that just ONE of

Nightmare Tear - Item - World of Warcraft

will fulfill ALL your reqs. if your meta requires 1 yellow 1 red 1 blue and you have zero blue or yellow equipped - a single Nightmare Tear will activate it, and will activate any other color combo. +10 stats is a lot better than putting in a purple and orange gems, and cheaper.

Don't know if this is an exploit, and don't care. Should be helpful to many.

No a exploit, working as intended.
Is this JC Only gem?

[Ic3fuzion]

JC gems are still prismatic.

[WaffleCopter]

They are not prismatic any more. Each gem has been changed to fit a specific socket (Jeweler's stam gem is now blue, for example).

[giorgi]

this is indeed a exploit the prismatic isnt suposed to cover for 2 colors could some1 needs to check if this works with the +6 all stats ecnhanted tear

[Ssateneth]

I've been quite aware of all-stats gems covering all 3 colors ever since they were out :P. This is not a JC only gem, everyone can get it, however you can only use one. It DOES count as a gem of all three colors according to metas, but it is not an exploit. Working as intended. Dragon's eyes were removed from being prismatic because it made the profession overpowered. However an item isn't necessarily overpowered if everyone can get it.

[phreec]

Giorgi, no this is not an exploit. It covers all colours, just as a mixed (orange, green, purple) are two colours.

Working as intened, it says it matches any color and the meta is needing 1 of each color, since the gem matches any color you basically have 1 of each color.
