Burning Crusade Gems

[Semord85]

Before 6.1 the following uncut epic gems below sold to vendor for 5 g.

Lionseye
Pyrestone
Seaspray Emerald
Crimson Spinel
Empyrean Sapphire
Shadowsong Amethyst

Even before 6.1 I was sniping these gems on auction house for under 6 gold and cutting them for 6 gold each to vendor with the recipes from the vendors listed below. The cut gem sell price of 6 gold has not been altered with 6.1.

Indormi - NPC - World of Warcraft
Ontuvo - NPC - World of Warcraft
Eldara Dawnrunner - NPC - World of Warcraft

After the application of 6.1 this week these gems dropped to 20 silver vendor price and with the new pets dropping out of Black Temple, Hyjal, and Sunwell these gems are going to increase in quantity on most servers and lower in price. This leaves a huge opportunity to seize the gems under the cut gem vendor price of 6 gold and gain profit.

While this is not game breaking gold it's better than most when it comes to buying items off auction house to resell to vendor. I recommend buying gems then cutting them while you're AFK. Have made around 3000 gold just AFK since 6.1 released so hope it helps out.

Oh no! This means I will no longer find the gems under my auctioneer vendor search .

It makes steve very sad.

Btw, semord, which new pets are there? I've been away from actually playing for a bit

And yes. Thanks for the heads up.

Can find a well written guide on Wowhead that shows where the pets drop. I've noticed they drop about the same % chance wise as the pets that have dropped in previous raids.
