Removal of the term "Jewel"
I've removed this term from the article. The term "Jewel" has little to do with Jewelcrafting other than the fact that Jewels can be created by Jewelcrafters. The end product of Jewelcrafting are Socket Gems, Trinkets and Rings - but not Jewels.
Jewel isn't referred to in any Blizzard Documentation nor in-game as far as Sockets go, and as such won't be mentioned in this article. User:Kiltek/Sig 08:47, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
when merging / moving articles
When moving articles. keep in mind you make sure ALL articles that point to the original name are adjusted.. whoever moved Jewels -> Gem has now created a very large problem. as there are a load of links on the wiki that used to point to the original Gem page, which lists gems found in mining ore veins... i can't find the original article anymore.... somebody be so kind to find and fix this issue.

- Ping Tekkub as he moved the article, perhaps he can retrieve it too? User:Kiltek/Sig 05:15, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
- You're looking for Mineral. *someone* didn't make big clear links to that page before removing the cleanup tag did they? :) User:Tekkub/Sig 20:33, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
- Page cleaned up a bit, now I'll go fix links to this page... yatta! User:Tekkub/Sig 21:04, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
- Damn! Cleanup tag was pretty jumbled and not very clear though, honest! User:Kiltek/Sig 04:07, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
Gem Info
This is a really good post i found on the Wowhead site, it gives some info that isnt on the the page but other things that are. I am not sure if i can add it to the page and make it look nice so here is the info.
All non BoP socketable gems are named in a particular two-part pattern:
<Stats> <Gem Name>
Where <Stats> represents a name that defines what stats the gem have and <Gem Name> represents the quality of the item. Rare quality gems gives more of each stat than uncommon quality gems. So for and example a Brilliant Dawnstone is a yellow gem that gives a high amount of intellect while a Brilliant Golden Draenite gives less intellect. To find the gem you want I suggest searching for the <Stats> part of the name - depending on what socket and stats you are looking for - and just use the quality selector on the AH UI to specify what amount of the desired stats you want (and how much gold you are willing to spend).
Below is an overview of the different gem names and stats parts you can find. I have only listed BoE gems that is uncommon or better.
Meta Gems Gem Name: Earthstorm Diamond, Skyfire Diamond (both rare) All meta gems have different stats combinations.
Red Gems Gem Name: Living Ruby (rare), Blood Garnet (uncommon) Stats: - Bold = Strength - Bright = Attack Power - Delicate = Agility - Flashing = Parry Rating - Runed = Spell Damage - Subtle = Dodge Rating - Teardrop = Healing
Yellow Gems Gem Name: Dawnstone (rare), Golden Draenite (uncommon) Stats: - Brilliant = Intellect - Gleaming = Spell Critical Rating - Rigid = Hit Rating - Smooth = Critical Strike Rating - Thick = Defense Rating
Blue Gems Gem Name: Star of Elune (rare), Azure Moonstone (uncommon) Stats: - Lustrous = Mana per 5 second - Solid = Stamina - Sparkling = Spirit - Stormy = Spell Penetration
Orange Gems (Fit Yellow and Red Sockets) Gem Name: Noble Topaz (rare), Flame Spessarite (uncommon) Stats: - Glinting = Hit Rating and Agility - Inscribed = Critical Strike and Strength - Luminous = Healing Spells and Intellect - Potent = Spell Critical and Spell Damage
Greem Gems (Fit Yellow and Blue Sockets) Gem Name: Talasite (rare), Deep Peridot (uncommon) Stats: - Dazzling = Intellect and Mana per 5 seconds - Enduring = Defense and Stamina - Jagged = Critical Strike and Stamina - Radiant = Spell Critical and Spell Penetration
Purple Gems (Fit Red and Blue Sockets) Gem Name: Nightseye (rare), Shadow Draenite (uncommon) Stats: - Glowing = Spell Damage and Stamina - Royal = Healing Spells and Mana per 5 seconds - Shifting = Agility and Stamina - Sovereign = Strength and Stamina
Prismatic Gems (Fit Red, Blue and Yellow Sockets) Prismatic gems are a bit different, here it's the stats part that decides the quality. Prismatic gems add resistance to all magic schools. Gem Name: Sphere Stats: - Void = +4 resist all (epic) - Prismatic = +3 resist all (rare) --Slakos 22:16, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
- The cuts are a guideline, but aren't perfectly consistent. I don't see why this info would need to be added to this page, since we've got exact stats listed already. User:Tekkub/Sig 00:02, 14 April 2007 (EDT)
2.1 Gems
A lot of gems being added in 2.1 are in. Some of them with estimates of stat amounts (marked by asterisk) which should hopefully be correct in most cases. This includes all new crafted epic gem (with Designs coming around Tier 6 raids) and new Wicked orange gems (AP/crit) and Balanced purple gems (AP/sta). Some of the gems are unknown, but I would estimate Mystic yellow to be Spell Hit and Great yellow to be Resilience (seeing that it's the only yellow stat that can't be crafted and Sublime comes through PVP which don't follow crafted gem name patterns anyway). Infused purple are unknown and can be anything, but most likely healing/sta (present Infused are orange sta/int (wrong color) and purple spelldmg/sta (crafted ones of this kind are called glowing)). Veiled orange is probably spelldmg/spellhit and I don't see reasonable possibility for them to be some resilience/something mix. --Drundia 01:01, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
