Just wondering if anything has been decided on how we are going to distribute epic gems come 4.3? Since they only drop from raids, very infrequently apparently, will they be bought for a new amount of ep? or just rolled for ? any thoughts or ideas?

Epic gems will drop in the new raid in Normal and Heroic only. Each player gets a geode when a boss is killed which has a small chance to contain an epic gem, most will have rare gems. It is rare enough to take all of 4.3 to replace all of your red rare quality gems with red epic gems.

I hope not, that would be utterly stupid.

Professions seem to have something to do with these gems.

Alchemy
New transmutes for epic gems--hopefully this will be a source, even if limited, for players to get epic gems outside of raiding:
- Recipe: Transmute Deepholm Iolite
- Recipe: Transmute Elven Peridot
- Recipe: Transmute Lava Coral
- Recipe: Transmute Lightstone
- Recipe: Transmute Queen's Garnet
- Recipe: Transmute Shadow Spinel

Jewelcrafting
A source for epic gem cuts most likely is Tome of Burning Jewels - drop location unknown so far.
- With a pure-color epic gem, you can cut +50 to a stat (exception: Solid Deepholm Iolite), such as Delicate Queen's Garnet and Brilliant Queen's Garnet.
- With hybrid epic gems, you can cut a +25/+25 stat gem (exception:+25/+37 stamina), such as Glinting Shadow Spinel and Potent Lava Coral.

I've never regretted having my main a Herb/Alch, and this news only reinforces that Happy


It does make sense to more restrict the epic gems, things got a bit silly in Wrath with 'epic' gems being handed out like candy.

I had no issue with the Wrath epics, I thought it was fine. Epic Gems though totally destroyed the blue gem market, having them harder to get doesn't have as large rammifications as restricting epics does.
