At current price: Ruby FS = 5,224. Ruby RS = 25,041,985. ToS=1157. At min, you should earn 223,911 gold per ruby.

Craft Emerald is better:

Emerald FS = 10,004, Emerald RS = 29,413,554. Each RS sold get you 495,927 gold.

If you can spot cheap ToS (quite common to be below 1k) and cheap FS, those are bonus.

So, now, crafting still make profit.

However, I have some other project on-going now... trying to level up my second Monk

Happy crafting!

ps: RS emerald selling at USD1 ... can probably make more $ if sell in RMAH...

LOL!

there is speculation that Covertus Shen may actually be Malthael... Josh reply this when he was asked:

I believe Shen is the Demon Lord of Greed. All goblins in game work for him. He is still looking for that gem.

And in expansion, there is a chance to jump into the portal if you kill the goblin after the portal is open!

yes... all gem... because... when RoS hit... they all useless... i got a few Marquise gem by just playing in the first few minutes...

I think the gem crafting/removal price is not really finalized.

It cost 5mil to remove Marquise, but starting with Imperial Gem, removal is free. It also just cost 10 gold to combine 3 Imperial into Flawless Imperial gem...

ya. i had like 1b before started playing RoS. since this is PTR, I don't mind using it at all.

all my gold are from gem making in D3.

once PTR is over (usually the same day or next day when RoS release), everything in PTR will be gone.

i still have my original D3 account we all will start from there.
