Quoting the useful part of that post, since the site is bare bones :  Basically 3 rare gems = 1 epic gem. Not even using crystal essences, primals or whatnot. Disappointing. |

Looking at this image, it clearly shows that Blizzard acknowledges that blue and green gems are crap and are nearly worthless. Needing to use 3 days worth of Xmute cd's just to be able to craft a red gem on the 4th day is kinda funny, assuming you don't buy any other gems and don't get any extra procs. Also, once this patch goes live, it will take no less than the 5th day of xmutes before you see your first Cardinal Ruby on your server unless Xmute spec procs also count for the quest's requirement of 5 xmutes.

Unless I missed notes somewhere, why would you need to wait a day for each? You can transmute meta gems now with no cooldown, I would imagine this would be the same. |

I just don't see them allowing an alch to xmute 20 stacks of Forrest Emeralds into the epic Cardinal Ruby without some kind of cd. Just my guess but I believe that the xmute for these will regain the 20 hour cd that all of the other transmutes currently have. It'd be nice if I am wrong though.

Is this rhetorical? Looking at the current price of some gems, I would not doubt the first prices to be near the price stormjewels |

The alchemist's perk. Red gems are too expensive these days. I'm not saying there won't be a cooldown. But this sure is a great way to keep the price for red gems at a doable price. I'd imagine red gems would be going for 3k-5k each if they were as rare as scarlet rubies from prospecting, and needed 4 days for a single ruby for alchemists. |

Since it is transmuting, probably. Most likely a very low procrate though.

Not true. You can obtain cardinal gems the first day by prospecting titanium ore. Amrite? |
