Worth saving JC-tokens for epic patterns?

[Deleted]

So, I assume when the new epic gems will arrive, we will be able to buy them with JC-tokens, just like in Wrath, is it a good thing saving up the tokens for them? Or will they be obtainable by other means?

No one knows the answer to that question. Is it worth the risk to get the jump on the market? Maybe... the better idea would be to make sure you have all the high selling pats that are available NOW.. then put some tokens away for that epic gems patch.

Yeah I'm sure we still have plenty of time before it will hit, so I'm going to keep buying recipes for now as they become profitable. Once I have enough though I probably wont spend any tokens on dragon's eyes for this reason.

I have found that to not work for me. It is typical for the best selling gems (int, str, agi, haste, stam, etc.) to be in the AH for less than the raw gem. For me, the not-so-popular gems have been the gold makers.

The way I am personally going to go about this is Im going to save 1 in every 2 daily jc tokens, using the rest to buy recipies that are available now

i buy 1 pattern (3) and save the 4th token, mean i can save a few till epic gems are anounced in ptr notes, or have enough to get chimera eye's with. I'm also saveing yrite ore, 50% get saved in bank, other 50% gets prospected as i think pyrite will be the new titanium ore.

Personally I spend all of my tokens on Chimera Eyes to sell for 300g. It might not be very 'long term' but I want to exploit it while I can.

Right now, I'm taking the chance on it and saving my tokens after getting a cut for each of the colors (2 for some colors) plus all the cuts I need for myself. If the patch notes state that tokens will be reset then I'll buy up all the blue patterns I can. Getting a jump on the epic gem market seems like the best option in my opinion. But to each their own.

Assuming 1 a day, i've made more than 900g from every pattern i've bought.

On topic, I'll probably finish up cuts that will sell, then start saving. I also don't think epic gems are going to be out anytime soon, so pointless to start saving right now.

Or you guys could do what I do, have three jc's. One buying current patterns, second saving tokens for epic, and third buying chimera's eyes and selling!
