Want to find a use for the smaller gems. I know they are good for lower levels to be introduced to the gem system and embedding them. But you very quickly outgrow cracked gems and pretty soon after jagged too.

 

Can we make it possible for jewelers to embed gems into jewelry when they make it. Only the small ones though (up to flawed maybe) even at higher levels.

 

Could make for some nicer uniquer jewelry.

 

Just a thought, discuss.

i like this it would also give more reason to level/use crafted jewelry as is aside from charm we generaly only use quest/looted jewelry being able to embed a gem when its crafted would make the crafted rings/necks more usable..

 

though i probably wouldn't say ONLY cracked/jagged.. but perhaps make it so can only embed gem teirs based on item level..

 

level 1-10 =cracked

level 11-20= jagged

level 21-30 = flawed

level 31-40= fair

level 41-50 = glimmering

I would love to see something like "closed sockets" on weapons, which have to be "opened" by jeweler.

 

Or Recipes, that can add Sockets to existing weapons / armor / jewelry.

 

Also the whole Gem Heart function i kind of see as a Jewelry Function but yeah im ok with that if everyone is able to do this.

Well, it's obvious that all of the crafts except cooking and alchemy need a lot of work. They expect you to take a huge hit and cash and time spent, but there are relatively little rewards.

 

And, no, you do not make good money either. I have had players ignore me for asking 10g for a level 30 heroic weapon with a socket. Everyone seriously expects everything under 40 for almost free, even though you wasted 3 months of your game time crafting to get there. The system is really messed up right now. You are far better off rushing to 40 and ripping off someone that did crafting (just for fun of course, you would probably have about 3,000 gold laying around. It's just fun offending people by only paying 20 or 30g for a level 40 item, right?)

Paying around 50g Tip's supplying Rem/Ess

I never ask for gold and only take tips. Am pleasantly surprised 90% of the time.

but yes, i think some more work could be done to most professions.

I made a minimum of 10k gold from my Jewelry yet ... dunno about the other professions as i only level them for myself
