Get your free gems for October!

We're a little late on the notice this time around (two whole days!), but if you haven't done so yet, get yourself out to Nagrand and pick up your free gems from the Consortium! They're not exactly worth much on most servers now, since people are throwing everything they own on the auction house to get rid of it before Wrath, and thus tanking the prices on everything, but free is free. You might as well pick them up, even if you just use them as skipping stones at the lakefront.If you've never done this before, let me break it down: Once you reach Friendly with the Consortium, Gezhe at Aeris Landing will have some free gems for you at the beginning of each month. As you gain higher levels of reputation, you'll get more gems. Not necessarily better gems, just more of them. Don't know where Aeris Landing is? It's directly north of that freaky diamond mountain spaceship with the Naaru in it, Oshu'gun.

This month's payment will finally get me some gems for my new 70 warlock. I feel like a boob running around in FSW gear without gems.

I got 4 Blues. 2 Talasite, Living Ruby, and a Nightseye. Update the amount so I can vote =).

I think that counts as a Unicorn.

They are not worthless, you can use them if you ever decide to level up your JC. Just as I am saving most of my ores.

at the prices gems go for now its really not worth the trip to get the bag anymore. 1 nice daily can buy 3 of any blue gem :(

WTB your server economy.

Would you at least approve of picking up the gems after doing the Nagrand daily? :P

Talasite, Dawnstone, Golden Draenite and Blood Garnet for me. Not too bad; wish the http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23437#reagent-for was a http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23439#reagent-for though...

Full exalted and they repay my hard work with two talasites. See if I ever help their outta phase asses again.

Great peanuts reference. I'm still laughing.
Erika Oct 4th 2008 6:08PM
Revered and got 4 greens :(

You do realize that by adding the responses "A unicorn!" and "I got a rock." you have completely skewed the validity of the sampling used for the other three responses, right?
