A few weeks ago I started selling meta gems. Yes I know I am a slowpoke. I have been Jewel Crafting for over 1.5 year now and have never touched the meta gem market and this turned out to be a bad thing. I was kinda surprised that you can make some decent profit with meta gems.
I have been selling around 10 meta gems per day and generates around 200g profit.
Currently I only have two meta gem designs that I put on AH due to the fact I don’t have any good designs at the moment. I haven’t done the JC daily in months and recently I started doing them again to get some more designs.
These are the meta gem designs is currently use:
- Austere Earthsiege Diamond
- Chaotic Skyflare Diamond
And I am planning on buying these:
- Relentless Earthsiege Diamond
- Need to do more research on EJ and AH to see what people need and want.
What I do is, I use the green quality gems I get from prospecting Saronite Ore for my meta gem crafting. I buy the Eternal Fire and Eternal Air on AH for around 20-25g. When you got the mats you can make Earthsiege Diamond and Skyflare Diamond with Alchemy.
The costs of making the meta gems is then: 25g (Eternal fire or Air) + 2g x 2 (average of a green quality gem is around 2g) = around 29g.
The meta gems cut or uncut sell for around 35 – 60g on AH (yes on my server they fluctuate A LOT). So the profit is around 10 - 35g per meta gem.
Conclusion
.................................................................................
- You need Alchemy (transmuting for more profit) and JC to make a maximum profit.
- Prospect Saronite Ore for green quality gems
- Buy the Eternal Fire and Air on AH for 20-25g per piece
- Transmute xxx and xxx with Alchemy
- Craft the meta gems with JC
- Put them on AH for
- Loot Mail box for winnings ^^

Usefull addons for AH and Mail
Well first of we will start with some nice add-ons that will make your life easier posting and buying things on AH. The add-on I use is called Auctioneer.
With this add-on you can post multiple items in 1 single click and this will save a lot of time. You can also set the option ‘EasyBuyout’ and ‘EasyCancel’ this will speed up the process of buying your gems or ore on AH. Cancel can be useful if a lot of people undercut you so you can cancel your auctions and repost them fast.
Second add-on I use is Mailget. This add-on will empty your mailbox in a single click. This addon also is a time saver. And time is money or in this case gold ^^
Use the following command /reloadui when you still have pending mail due to a full mailbox.
Note this is an old add-on you can also use Postal.
These are the add-ons I use but there are many more add-ons than this. If you want to learn more of this I advice you to Google on auctioneer. There many videos and posts about this add-on and how to use it.

RAF mount Guide
The Recruit a Friend mount is in my opinion one of the coolest mounts in the game at the moment. Because it is the only mount that can carry two persons and scales to your fastest mount!
Picture is taken from mmo-champion.
How to get it?
..................................................................................
Go to the website of World of Warcraft and to go recruit a friend. Insert the email of one of your friend or someone else. They will get an email with a code (trial account). If they make an account, upgrade the trial account and pay for two months you will get your mount!
How to find someone? You can try different things:
..................................................................................
1- Ask a friend if he wants to try the game. You can even buy him the two months of game time. You will receive one month back for free if he pays for one month or more.
2- Ask an ex-wower to get back to the game and give him for example a level 80 char of yours (I did this).
3- Ask someone on a wow forum like mmo-champion. Some people like the RAF bonus XP (300%) and will ask you to level with them to level 60 or give them gold in return.
4- Email the trial account to yourself and upgrade it yourself. You do not need to upgrade the account up to WOTLK.
What will it cost?
..................................................................................
1- Full upgrade with two months game time around EUR 70.00.
2- As above with one char transfer around EUR 90.00.
3- Same as first point around EUR 70.00.
4- Upgrade to vanilla wow with two months game time around EUR 27.50 (40.00-12.50) (pay for two months but you will receive one month free game time).
People who can get the mount
..................................................................................
Players with a World of Warcraft account from the following countries are able to Recruit-A-Friend: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, UK, Ukraine, Norway, Sweden, Greece, Ireland, Russia and Spain
Extra tips
..................................................................................
If you want the mount asap buy game time with a card and do not use your CC or any other payment method. If you do you will receive your mount after a month and 10 days, if you use a game card it will be instant.
Conclusion
.................................................................................
If you do not have any friends that want to play wow go buy your own account. It only costs around EUR 27.50 and this is not that expensive considering that the mount in the wow shop is EUR 20.00 and the RAF mount is rare.

Making quick gold with blue quality gems
Blue quality gems are very cheap these days due to the fact that everyone buys the epic gems. Sometimes you can find uncut blue quality gems for fewer than 4.5g. Buy these cut them and sell them to an NPC. Of course you can also place them on AH for more profit!
This week I bought 40 forest emeralds for 2g a piece. Sold them to an NPC for 4.5g (cutted ofc) and made a profit of 100g for 5 minutes work. I did not sell them on AH because the last few weeks nobody is buying green gems on my server.

Recap week 21
Been pretty busy this week. Went to my parents this weekend so no wow pour moi! And I bought a new laptop today the HP Pavilion dv7-3130ed been busy downloading software and I have to install wow on it ^^ Anyways lets see what I did this week!
1) Gold
..................................................................................
I made 5-7k gold this week by selling blue, epic quality gems and Meta gems. Still stocking blue quality gems for next patch.
The meta gem market is kinda nice to make gold. The average cost of making an Meta is around 30g and i sell them for 55-60g. And I can make tons of them because I have soo many green gems in my bank. More info on this will follow this week!
I also hitted 70k gold this week!
New project:
- Get information how to make gold with inscription.
I tried to play with my hunter this week but god do I hate hunters! I do not want to level this toon to 80 it is too boring. So prob will use my new paladin to get Enchanting and Inscription!
To do:
- Level a toon with Enchanting and Blacksmithing.
Been leveling my paladin for Enchanting and Blacksmitting and did some random dungeons and that was soo good. Had to wait 3-4 minutes for a group (super fast!!!) and got 1.5 levels in 45 minutes (rested, not RAF). So I will have some fun leveling this toon and I know I will enjoy leveling enchanting and inscription.
2) Mounts
..................................................................................
This week I got one new mount getting my total to 105 mounts!
- Black Dragon: This mount is a reward for OS+3D 10 man bad thing is only one drops for the whole raid and it is 280% speed.
RAF mount is still incoming.
New project:
- Glory of the Hero
Been doing a few achievements per day been lacking some easy ones. At the moment I still have to do some hard ones and need only 5 more achievements before I get the mount :@
To do mounts:
- ZG Tiger and Raptor
- MgT
- Sath 3d 25
- Ulduar achievement mount
3) Pets
..................................................................................
Obtained no pet this week.
Project:
- None at the moment
To do pets:
- Too many to write down

Recap Week 20
1) Gold
..................................................................................
I made 7k gold this week by selling blue en epic quality gems. Still stocking blue quality gems for when Ruby Sanctum hits the live server.
Made a nice amount of gold with Enduring Eye of Zul. I bought the Eye of Zul on AH for 80g and sold the cut gems for 160g a piece. 80g profit per gem and the only thing I had to do was cut them.
New project:
- Get information how to make gold with inscription.
I still have a level 70 hunter with inscription and I am going to use that profession as well to make some extra gold. Going to read some guides on the internet to see what is profitable and of course I will let you know how it works out.
To do:
- Level a toon with Enchanting and Blacksmithing.
Currently I am only using JC to make gold and I am going to try some new things. I am levelling a paladin named Goudvis (Goldfish in Dutch) with a friend of mine. I am going to level enchanting and probably blacksmithing. These will be my next project to make some extra gold. The levelling progress is nice due to the 20% extra xp I get from the heirloom items and the extra xp from the RAF (recruit a friend).
2) Mounts
..................................................................................
This week I got two mounts getting my total to 104 mounts!
- Quel'dorei Steed: This is an Argent tournament mount and costs a 100 marks.
- Winterspring Frostsaber: Finally I got the long and boring grind finished and got the awesome reward! It took me less then a week to get from 0/210000 to 21000/21000. I spent some extra hours on wow to get the job done and hard work pays of ^^
I spent two to three hours extra a day on the Wintersaber grind and I will cut down on my online time to do some extra stuff in my new house (recently moved and now living together with my girlfriend.
RAF mount is still incoming we made the mistake to pay with a CC instead of paying with a game card. So now I have to wait another month until I get my mount! Bah!
New project:
- Glory of the Hero
So now I can start with a new project instead of the Wintersaber mount and I think I will do some heroics to get the Reins of the Red Proto-Drake which can be obtained by getting the achievement Glory of the Hero. Not that hard but there are some tricky achievements like the void achievements.
To do mounts:
- ZG Tiger and Raptor
- MgT
- Sath 3d 10/25
- Ulduar achievement mount

Epic quality gem selling mini guide
First you need some designs to sell epic gems. I suggest you get one of each colour to begin with. But which one should you pick?
Well I got the following designs:
Red:
Bold Cardinal Ruby
Runed Cardinal Ruby
Blue:
Solid Majestic Zircon
Yellow:
Rigid King's Amber
Purple:
Purified Dreadstone
Green:
Enduring Eye of Zul
Orange:
Luminous Ametrine
Veiled Ametrine
Not many designs and almost only caster gems. I picked these because I could use them myself ^^ I do not take the time to do the Jewelcrafting daily everyday because I do not have the time to do it :P But hey it works for me so it will work for you as well! But I do advise you to get as many designs as possible so you have a larger variety to sell and thus less chance you will not sell anything due to undercutting.
Two or three times a day I check AH to see if there are cheap uncut gems. I buy the gems if they are 20g cheaper (or more of course) then the cut gems. Because the prices of the cut gems vary form day to day so I use 20g as a minimum. So I wont lose gold due to the fact the cut gems become cheaper then the uncuts I bought.
Sometimes you will buy uncuts for a nice price and a few hours later someone (stupid) undercuts the current cut gem by a lot. I suggest you hold on to those cut gems and sell them when the prices go up again so you wont lose gold. Being patience works like a charm here.
Sometimes I buy Titanium ore when it is below 120g but on my server this will almost never happen.
Mail the gems to your JC AH toon and place them on AH for 12 or 24 hours depending on when your next online moment will be.
