    Sha Touched Gem

    I am 3 sigils of wisdom away from my gem, should I gem my LFR weapon or wait for a normal weapon? This is my alt on a different server than my main. I only have 700 gold on him so I'm stuck with whatever I do.

    Thanks.

    I know all the stuff about the gem I just want to see what the people on the forums think about me using it in my LFR weapon or not. Click on my signature if you want to see my main.

    K thanks, I was thinking about gemming it I just wanted to see what other people have to say.

    Hmm at 10k if I were you it would depend on how your play group does loot, if a loot council or what class you play determines how high or low you are on the totem pole I would definitely factor those in.

    I'm mostly an LFR hero on my dk, trying to pug for weapons and it's not going too well too.

    lol 10k isn't that much AT ALL for a 500 stat increase.

    Plus it's an alt, who cares?

    Ah, I sorta got that myself. Most of my friends jumped to other games so I sub for a month per patch get the content then play other stuff so all I do is lfr. If it were me I would go for it but its always a risk I suppose. Think of it as a 10k gold weapon enchant heh

    Teh maybe wait to see what the next legendary quest reward is if it continues and go off that. If there is no new progression then well this teir is ending soon and new weapons will be out in normals and lfr

    Not sure on the class or spec you play and normal raid progression , the non sha touched mace off Will of the emperor for healers ( maybe not all healers ) and elem shami has stats that are rival to the raid finder gemed up . The secondary stats on the sha touched weapons for some classes are poor and its silly they didnt actually put some legendary into the sha touched weapons from LFR but honestly compare them be aware of the weight of your stats and do a little math . I would say keep it in your bag and wait and feel good about it, but make sure you feel good about it .

    Given the 5.1 questline adds a prismatic socket to said Sha-touched weapon, and then in 5.2 the questline does continue further (in what way exactly, we don't know...), sooner you are ready to move along, the better.
    Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
    It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
    Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
    These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.

    Gem the LFR weapon and dont waste time trying to get the normal one. DK is an alt, LFR hero by your own words, so stick with that.

    I would pay much more than 10k for a god damn SHA WEAPON.
    3 months raiding (active raiding that is, not just LFR) and still blue weapon.
    If only i had problems like OP "socket LFR wep or not" haha

    To the OP : Ask yourself, are you going to devote a lot of time to raiding with that alt? Are you aiming for full hc clean up? If the answer is NO, than gem your LFR weapon and forget about it.

    In that case, gem the LFR weapon, most definitely.

    You might try working just a bit. I find I can sell a single crop of carrots for close to 700g. Gold is ludicrously easy to get this expansion, there's so much sloshing around the economy.

    On which server can you sell carrots for 35g each? They only go for like 5g each here, despite being among the 10 lowest ranked servers in the world.

    A single crop from the whole farm, not a single patch.
