So far i dropped 2 Radiant Star Emerald plans & 1 Radiant Star Topaz plan (a few Flawless Star plans which i cant recall where). All 3 drops were in act 3; 2 were from chest and another from Cydea drop. Perhaps you might want to try opening chests more.. just an idea

sell now while price is high .. buy back later when price drop if u plan to craft 1
unless u need to craft it soon then keep it

even RS emerald shot up to 31m each last nite ... i think lots of ppl flipping Gems on the RMAH ,,, they buy gold from 3rd party & use the gold to buy either FS@RS Emerald in GAH.. i guess they ran out of "niche" gears to flip in RMAH so had to do Gems now lolz

FS emerald price listed is quite "misleading" .. whole day the price stays arnd 9xxx each but each time i buy in bulk (enough to craft 2-3 RS), i usually get refund which after calculating the actual price of FS emerald is lower (as low as 6k each) .. the key here is to look at Last average 10 trades .. the lower it is the more refund u might get.
Anyways after crafting & selling 10 RS, i made a nett profit of 11m .. not much as b4 but still xtra gold to fund for gear upgrades

huhu cari duit poket nk beli chant source with apoc utk wiz

there's a way to "snipe" FS emerald at the correct time to get low price even tho listed price is higher



from the above screenshot ... FS emerald was listed around 9.5k each for each of the 3 times i bought.. my 1st snipe was mistimed so ended up buying at 8.8k each but the nxt 2 snipes was successful with arnd 5k per FS emerald .. i usually sell the crafted RS emerald at 27.5m each which gv me 23.3m .. a profit of arnd 1.5-2m each

hahaha i oso feel like i heard it b4
i hv 4 end game wpn to buy so cannot quit yet lolz
last time easier to get min of 20m a day but nowadays FS emerald price nvr go down below 9k so have to take some risk to "snipe" cheap FS emerald

Gem Price Chart
Can see RS Emerald price like roller coaster track few hrs earlier it jumped to 1.7USD now dropped again
I wish the chart also show GAH stats ... i'm stuck with 10 RS Emerald maybe time to sell to 3rd party buyer @ no profit/small profit (22.5-2.3m)

From Patch 1.08 Datamined info
Players can now craft multiple items and gems at a time within the same tier, so long as they possess the necessary materials

i also waiting for higher price but will sell when it hit 27m lolz .. hv 5 RS emerald
however i sold all my Flawless Square Emerald today @ 13k each .. more than 100% profit .. sold 5k FS emerald and got 50+m .. initially bought to craft RS emerald @ 20+m total

RS Topaz price is still fluctuating & with Flawless Square Topaz price maintaining less than 3k each ... can easily make 2-3m profit crafting n selling RS Topaz at 24m.
Personally i hv sold about 15 RS Topaz today & making profit of arnd 40m.

for those who stock up on RS Gem going to be RICH!!! lolz
RS Emrald - approx 50m each
RS Topaz - aprox 35m each
other RS gems also higher price compared to few weeks back
katongggggggg time lolz

damn! i wished i had stocked up more RS when price was below 20m each lolz

^^
Most obvious reason full rollback hvnt been done yet by Blizz is bcos real money is involved & would cause massive problem with refunds.. thats is why only AH is down atm so that they can look into it.
AFAIK those who were not aware of the gold dupe bug tried to make fast gold by buying gems in RMAH with real money then reselling them in GAH at the inflated price caused by the gold dupe.
Altho i made just few Bs from gem trading (no RMAH involved .. just crafting n selling), i personally think a rollback is needed to avoid a total meltdown of D3 economy.

take a look at this guy's crafted ammy after 1.08 patch went live:

imagine his feeling if full rollback is done by Blizz .. lolz

Close AH - done
Detect exploiters transaction - still in the process ... this 1 is easy to do in regards to the gold dupe .. gold sell n cancel transaction
Ban Waves - done & hopefully more to come .. lolz
Refund RMAH - this is Blizz major concern as it involves another party as well i.e Paypal
Roll back - hopefully soon .. however i pity those who looted BiS legendary @ crafted BiS BoA gear during the "gold dupe period"
Open AH - close RMAH permanently while they are at it i hope .. hahaha

lesson learnt: blizz should include "mock" RMAH in PTR nxt time so that THEIR MISTAKES can be discovered by us (players) lolz
but seriously, would u report such bug in PTR @ wait till patch go live & exploit it for your own gain? hmmm hahaha

anyways bro .. i'm all for rollback tbh ... just saying that some honest players had to pay for Blizz's own mistakes.

lolz it was fun to see for the 1st time my gold balance hv 7 figures haha but gold was nvr my primary concern when playing D3 .. i wasnt even aware of the gold dupe b4 the AH went down (too bz crafting n selling gems haha) .. i was just testing 1.08 when a fren informed me about how the gem price is rising & i just took the chance to make some gold lolz ... all in all if a rollback is performed i would just wasted few hrs crafting (i would be more pissed if i were farming & looted a BiS leg n lose it to a rollback)
As what zhong posted above .. a rollback is not 100% confirmed yet .. Blizz is too bz fixing the $$$ issues 1st lolz

"damn if Blizz do, damn if Blizz don't"

sell xxx amount of gold in RMAH then cancel sale .. u get xxx gold .. its basically doubling ur gold balance each time

hahaha earlier when AH just up i try to borong 8k FS emerald but out of stock lolz .. managed to get only 7912@7k each

lolz .. or u can buy another d3 account just to use to do ka-thong while ur main account go farm
