Gear Enhancements for Hunters: Gems (Wrath Edition)

With the raising of profession level caps and the addition of new designs and items, my previous article on Hunter gems has become woefully out of date. Time for a face-lift! You’re no doubt thirsty for a Big Gulp o’ Gem Info, and who am I to disappoint? I did briefly discuss Northrend gems that would be of interest to Hunters in a previous article, but the information available to us has since been significantly fleshed out and, of course, this is a subject that deserves an article all it’s own, if for no other reason than for ease of reference. So, without further ado, lets see what we’ve got!

(Note: Unless otherwise stated, all gems are created by Jewelcrafters.)

Red Gems

Orange Gems

Purple Gems

Blue Gems

Green Gems

Yellow Gems

Meta Gems

Prismatic Gems

These gems are new to the game, and it should be noted that a player can only have 3 prismatic gems equipped at a time, and only Jewelcrafters can use them.

The uncut Dragon’s Eyes can be purchased from Tiffany Cartier in Dalaran (where other Jewelcrafting patterns are purchased).

It is also worth noting that “Perfect” cuts of all Jewelcrafter gems are available as a random proc from the profession itself, and Perfect cuts offer an increase to the stats of the gem (by 1).

    Thanks for the list. :)

    I remembered seeing your post earlier in the day and it came in handy as I browsed the AH trying to find new gems for my chestpiece and belt. Alas, it seems no one was able to cut Jagged Forest Emeralds, since there were none on the AH nor available from the JCs in trade chat. :(

    And now mah meta gem be broken.

    IIRC, the Jagged Forest Emerald might be a rep design from Frenzyheart, but I’m not 100% sure. I think it might be available at Revered, so that might explain why there aren’t any yet. Of course, if I don’t recall correctly, that’s a piss-poor explanation, eh? :P
