Gems

Gems customize high-end gear: a cut gem slots into a socket for a fixed stat bonus. Every edition that has sockets carries a gem market that moves with its raid tiers.

About Gems

Gem prices follow the raid calendar. Multi-stat cuts serve the widest audience and clear fastest, while niche cuts trade thin and swing hard. When a new tier of content lands, the previous tier's gems lose their audience almost overnight and fall to their floor as the replacements establish a range.

Cutting margins, and which editions have sockets, 2 paragraphs

The spread between an uncut stone and its finished cut is the jewelcrafter's margin. When the spread collapses, cutting stops paying and cut supply thins until it reopens. Where an era throttled top-end stones behind prospecting odds or daily transmutes, the throttle shows as a floor that refuses to sink.

Sockets arrived with The Burning Crusade, so the gem shelf is richest on Retail, MoP Classic, and TBC Classic. Season of Discovery is built on the original game, which predates sockets, and carries almost no gem market.
