What to spend JC tokens on?Follow

First I bought stuff for me. JC only gems, epic designs that I can use and couple rare designs that I socket myself often. After that I started to colect every rare gem design, since it's my primary source of income. I should be done with that by the end of the week:) After that I'm getting all meta designs.

With so many JC out there I find it hard to sell some gems. that's why I am getting all designs. To check which cut sells for highest at the time I am putting it on AH.

look on the AH for which cuts sell for the most, buy those cuts, cut, then profit.

I have most of the patterns that I would want so I am buying dragonseyes before the prices bottom out (sell for around 125g on my server right now).

I wouldn't recommend getting all of the ring and neck cuts unless you are sure you can charge enough (or get tipped high enough) to make back the money of 6 days of dailies spent on them. I got the spellshock one so that I could make it for guildies etc, but overall the general tip that I get is around 10g if I don't ask for a 25g crafting fee (most refuse to pay more than that for it). So if you think you can make enough money either selling the rings (they sell for around 800-900g on my server now), seeing how they will become out-dated pretty soon if we don't get more recipes come 3.1 I think that it will be difficult to get more sales with that, as most people who would spend that money on a ring would most likely have already done it.

That is just my though.

Heres a tip....a big seller for me is the titanium impact choker. I have 2 jc's which means 4 dragon's eyes every 2 days. so every 2 days i make one...then i make a bright scarlet ruby (+24 AP) and socket the piece. I make sure to advertise in trade that mine comes pre-socketed with the best AP gem on the market, and it seems to work. Sells for 1200-1300 gold...not a bad income every 2 days. I usually have to buy the eternal fires on AH tho...costs about 80-100 gold per 6. But the rest I get from my 450 mining and saving my orbs from my twice-a-week heroics marathons...where I usually net about 4-5 orbs a week from the bosses. I also got the recipe for the tanking neckpiece...doesn't sell worth a crap, just a waste of 6 tokens. I haven't bought any of the other epics as the one im selling every 2 days is enough income for me. Of course both my jc's got the appropriate jc only gems first...that should be first priority for any JC.

Of course this is my server, you have your's. Different server=different market.

Personally I keep going after normal gem cuts. I prospect lots of ore from the AH and I feel I can never have enough normal gem cuts.

I would spend the tokens on the red gem recipes as they sell for the highest gold. Or any dps ones. I would spend the tokens on gem recipes to add to your collection. I missed the boat on the epic craftables so I can't advise you there, but I heard many made boat loads of gold.

But now I have all the meta and rare gem recipes in the game and make over 1000k a day, and overall 200,000k from cutting and selling gems on the AH. Most of the other JC recipes are farmable too through rep, Stone Keeper's Shards, 100% drops of specific mobs, and World Drops.
