A rough idea of the jewelling cost needed to upgrade the gem from Flawless Square up to (Not including other costs like Flawless Square / Tomes of Secret):

Perfect Square - $30,000
Radiant Square - $140,000
Star - $500,000
Flawless Star - $1,600,000
Perfect Star - $5,000,000
Radiant Star - $15,400,000

Bro,

I think there is something wrong with your figure but what both of us can agree on is that it is going to cost a LOT of gold to craft a Radiant Star jewel.

Haha. Did it on Excel, can confirm the jewelling cost up to Flawless Star only.. anything above that is beyond my budget for now

This post has been edited by polarzbearz: Jun 26 2012, 09:20 PM

is it worth it .. ?

once you reach the top, jewels are your best friends

Yup definitely worth it. Once you invest in them you can reuse it again and AGAIN.

Jeweler better than BS than ?

It is 2 different thing altogether so you cant say that one is better than the other. I would say that both compliment each other.

well the stats are all the same, and u can unequip.

that blacksmith has to be the richest metal worker in the whole farking kingdom.
every craft is like a blardy gamble.

imma gonna get some design ... btw do
player really buy the radiant star in GAH ?

Not everyone can afford it but still there is demand for it. Or else it wont be that BLOODY expensive!

i dont have much gold to spend. can only invest in one ..
gear not that good yet ...

of cos le !
Now Im in dilemma, wanna upgrade max gem or bow haha.

Nova. How many emerald did you managed to collect to date? Seen your siggy since release so i bet it must have been quite a lot by now?

here's an online doc for jewels true cost.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key...OVRXTGIxY3F0d2c

Ya.But I dont actually have flawless star emerald recipe, just perfect star which I picked up.
Now waiting for flawless star and radiant star recipe fall into my lap

But seriously, I combined the small ones to sell to cover for my cost buying from GAH.
Like for example right now I dont have fstar recipe, so I craft up to star some of my emeralds, sell them, buy 3 fstar and craft pstar.
Crafting only yield profits if you pick up the mats.

If they remove the tax for gem in the GAH, that would be heaven.

Imagine you got 2 pcs 1 handed weapon with slot. Put down 2 Radiant Star Amethyst with +600 Life On Hit each hand. +1200 Life On Hit = profit.

Jewel makes it possible to customize your gear. Im playing a barb at the moment. My gears are just barely above average but they come with sockets. Instead of spending real money to upgrade my gear or farm gold till the cows come home, i took the time to upgrade my amethyst to star. Im loving the extra life point im getting and im planning to get more jewels for my upgrade.

Well, it will still ends up with the same HUGE bill anyway, just that the different is AH is one chop your heads off, jewel crafting slice you unknowingly. YTD spent like 300k just to pump 1 or 2 my square to star

very rare hear players tells of Jewel Plan/Recipe drop...

i for once never had any Jewel Recipe till now...only to realize it when ppl began speaking about it few weeks ago..hehe

before this is only : no BS plan drop, no legendary drops, etc

Well you are going to pay never the less BUT the gem which you have invested in can be reused multiple time unless you decide to sell it off. Its a bit different compare to gears. I am still in the process of acquiring end game gears. Once I have acquired an upgrade, the previous gear will depreciate in value to me. But as for gem, I can keep it and upgrade it slowly until i reached Radiant Star grade and reuse them or swap it around all my other character.

there is a reason i nvr bothered to pay much attention to jeweling lol, like most of the players that had explained here, its a ONE time investment, you pay for it, you can reuse it for your entire gameplay life, unlike gears which you will STILL rotate if there is something like an upgrade or whateva, the whole jeweling system is pretty much linear and easy. no need to feel bad spending that 1st few 100k's upgrading em, or if u feel cheaper, u can calculate the cost and snag the higher lvls at cheaper price and npc/AH the lower tiers. High bill or not, its the safest investment in diablo3 system.

I actually bought some low lvl equipment that slotted with Radiant Square gem for less than 50K.

I guess the owner use it to power level their character but forgotten to take out.. lol
The cost for Radiant Square itslef already 140K gold already

lololol nice

Yea, after all the gold can be farmed back.

Upgraded my Jeweller up to Flawless Star Emerald few days ago.. can help to craft if anyone needs, will be definitely priced cheaper than Auction House Rate

just to update.

I have

Flawless Star Ruby
Perfect Star Ruby
Perfect Star Amethyst
Radiant Star Amethyst.

anynone want to craft. hook me up.

wahhhh cantik, now i know who to look for when i need to craft gems ;D

when u getting emerald plans too?

Whoa!!! That must be millions of gold invested right there. Super rich la you bro!

not rich just enough lurking power. and contacts and really bored with game until they intro dungeons and other mini games in the game

Also looking for flawless amethyst and other plans if anyone has.

Im offering emerald crafting till Perfect Star. The design for the Radiant Star emerald is just...

update: I have flawless star Amethyst now. Muahahaha

do most people sell off crafted gems at a lost now?
the price they sell is only slightly higher from the cost of (tomes + gem + craft fee)

im crafting emeralds and the market is too insane now i cant sell any in AH for profit.

most people forget about the 15% transaction fee.
only way is trading it seems

This post has been edited by paranoid: Jun 29 2012, 01:13 PM

i got a radiance star emerald design in ponies before the patch. sold for 4.5m i think.

some other perfect star designs in a3, like amethyst and emerald also. and one flawless star amethyst design. from a3.

but that is all before 1.03 patch, i got nuts since then

lol oh my .. i didnt have enough gold with me to get that..
i knew so well the price would shoot up yet i couldn buy them in time.

the recipe is close to 10mil now

now is not a good time to buy, but a very good time to sell, but i rly pity those that spend so much just to buy plans that arent supposed to even be priced at that. regardless, poor casual players like me should just self hunt or hope someone can sell it at a normal price.

i can understand how the price shoot up so fast.

because jc plans can almost never drop.
but every player need gems.

after the patch 103, a big drop in the crafting fee, everyone decides to craft their own gems and maybe make a profit out of it too.. lol? doesn't work that way. look at the market now.. pretty much screwed..

unless one is fully devoted into only crafting gems, that can earn u gold overtime. most would just farm off act2 act3 and earn in AH.

Gems are too restricted in a way. people stop buying gems at some point of the game, but eqs dont.
i finished inferno with just flawless square slotted on my eqs. so why spend 20mil on each open slot in my armor?
most people can afford up to star/perfect star in game. it's not worth crafting radiant star for me.. imo.
i'll just get them for achievement sake ha!

not to mention gems trading are often down in AH, and it's not even on RMAH (yet?).

This post has been edited by paranoid: Jun 29 2012, 01:40 PM

just use star jewels if you are not wealthy, they are good enough.

like myself only use star jewels only even, lol. i feel others not worth it.

i got ts to craft for me flawless stars the other day, slotted them into weapons to sell.

that is why i didnt bothered with gems lol, the profit generation is linear, regardless this doesnt rule out you need someone to learn it either to craft for you. thumbs up to those promotin and helpin us gain access to high lvled gems

i'm still hoping find players selling EQs already equip with Flawless star above and selling them according to EQ pricing excludung the gems..hehe

who know if there is player that lupa take out gems or include gem cost when selling in AH

jewelcrafting is a trade that requires you to have knowledge of microsoft excel.
and i can tell you everyone price is a profit after deducting raw costs, and 15% AH.

Just don't expect to earn a million per gem.

jewels are an end game item. Later on you will see people hunting jewels for 1 thing. PVP. but will be extra effective if there is a ladder again.

Viviv the emerald perfect start easy sell?

I sold my flawless star emerald for about 2.0xmil off the AH. Still making a bit of a profit after sales tax.

This post has been edited by eehtsitna: Jul 2 2012, 09:50 AM

Gem Crafting Calculator

Updated my calculator, with reference of price of each flawless square/tomes, but you should still check the latest rate on AH to get the accurate amount you will be spending on crafting a gem.

Bro,

Would you mind explaining how to use that? Doest seems to work on my browser.

I just realize that I spent quite some money into jewel crafting. My 4 star gem cost me:
81 Flawless Square -> 27 Perfect Square = 30k x 9 = 270k
27 Perfect Square -> 3 Radiant Square = 50k x 3 = 150k
3 Radiant Square -> Star = 80k
Total per Star =500k
I got total of 4 star = 2mil

Now I know where my 5mil gold pickup goes

EDITED: Some calculation wrong.

This post has been edited by yuhhaur: Jul 19 2012, 09:57 AM

Argh..Ok.

Actually, you just need to update the quantity you wan to craft for the said gem, then update the tomes and flawless square gem rates as well, which you can check from AH. then proceed to "Summary" at the bottom of the page, for the result.

you may DL the document out, for offline usage.


It will show, how many tomes/flawless gem/gold required to craft for the gem you looking for.

This post has been edited by opera33: Jul 2 2012, 11:33 AM

Yes, its a bottomless gold sink.

Wait till you reach Perfect/Radiant Star gem crafting.

Next: get another Emerald Star (I got 2 ATM) for : 1.04 mil
Find someone who can craft Flawless Star for me for minimal charges 100k
So I need another 1.14mil poorfag with 230k right now

This post has been edited by yuhhaur: Jul 2 2012, 11:50 AM

Dude! Check the first page!

For your info, im only charging 50k to craft Flawless Star Emerald but you have to provide the material for it.

just a friendly reminder to anyone selling on AH.

Calculate your raw material cost + crafting. and add in 18%. 15 for tax and 3% for profit.

updated my calculator total payable to 18% =)

it should be named sellable instead..hahah

Here's my spreadsheet for your viewing
Only change the value of the jewels and tomes.
