Jewel Crafting designs: blue quality

What designs should I get?
...................................................
This is a good question indeed. I suggest at the start you get the gems that:

- you can use yourself
- gems that sell fast

Why?, well that's pretty easy, making gems you can use is always nice as you won't need to buy them from AH yourself.
Gems that sell faster than other gems will probably give less profit but you will sell them fast and you won't lose gold due to the AH fee. And it's just very irritating to see your gems expire.

Note: when you will get more designs and prospect allot per day you can always trow in some slow selling gems to get more variaty in your gems. The more different gems you sell the more chance you have you will sell them.

What colors should I get first?
.........................................................
Try to get a Red design first apart from the one you learn from the trainer, the ones you learn from the trainer will most of the time give the less profit. Red gems give the most profit of all the colors. After that try to:

- get a design from every color that sells fast.

When prospecting ore you will get gems from the five different colors so you want to sell them all to make profit. After that you can try some other designs to see if they sell good on your server.

Soooo what designs are good?
...........................................................
Note: These are the ones I have been selling, this does not mean these gems are the best ones. But it works for me and you should try to find designs that fit you and your server.
