A few recipes use motes that cannot be reduced from primals. Only Primal Earth and Primal Fire can be reduced back to mote form.

Here are all of them:

Enchant Shield - Resistance: http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=27947
Necklace of the Deep - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32508
Elixir of Major Frost Power - http://www.wowhead.com/?item=22827

EDIT:

Note, to reduce a Primal Fire or Primal Earth back to 10 motes, you must be a miner and use Fire Sunder or Earth Shatter.

Well if they are paid for in badges you can expect people to throw them on the AH so you will be able to get them with gold.

this is true but they will cost you a fortune, spinels will prob go for 500G+

Probably not for long. Everyone with 400+ spare badges (like me) will be buying 40 red gems to try to cash in, which will depress their value greatly. Right now spinels are so valuable because they are random drops, but they are the most useful color. Once you can buy them, their price will equalize with the other colors (in as much as living rubys anyway).

they will be expensive, then the will drop from people like you who cash in badges. but everyone will then be down to 0 badges and earn them slowly. The price will remain high because they are always needed. They are the best gems atm and will be needed from T4 -> T6+. I dont see the price ever dropping below 200g. Most likely sitting around 400g.

You have to remember as well, every guild that is raiding is bringing in a lot of badges as long as they are killing stuff. It's not out of the question to pull in 50-70 badges a week without doing a single 5man. (Karazhan 22, ZA 13, BT 19, Hyjal 11?, Gruul/Maulgar/Magtheridon 8, etc.)

Don't forget that more people are running MH/BT now though and there will be even more in the near future. The gem drops from those runs will have an impact on their prices on the AH. How much of an impact I really can't say though.

gem drops will not have any impact on spinal prices, spinels are really the only gems worth getting, unless you are on a server that has had 20 guilds farming MH/BT for 6 months you will most likely have never seen one on the AH, they before 2.4 were selling for 2000G each from 1 guild that randomally had a bunch of them and this was not through the AH

not a single spinal in our guild has been made into a 22 healing gem because there simply arnt enough of them to give to the healers even tho they are limited to best in slot items for DPS classes

the price will forever be in the 500G range for a few reasons
1) gold is stupidily easy to get 500G is 2 days worth of dailys
2) people are stupid and will put the gems in blues and crap epics
3) most of the people sitting on 600+ badges are raiders, raiders are going to controll the market on these things

Me neither. Nubis must just have a bad connection .

 

[AntiFreze]

nubis! stop posting on your commodore 64 with the 14.4 modem.

 

[Xavier434]

No problems here.

 

[exdeath]

Anubis' PC is his last Kara epic

 

[lupi]

Yeah, the good night thread is up to 3149 so we still have work to do.

 

[exdeath]

Doubt its the thread. Anytime a page refresh hangs for me, I always see "Waiting on ads.blah.blah.com...." on 15 occasions that stalls the drawing of the page...

Really beginning to hate the latency that all this internet ad banner junk with busy ad servers and 15 meg flash files...

Todo: start adding ad server domains to a local dummy dns.

 

[Aikouka]

Ads... what ads? :Q *gleams at ABP!*

That's awesome. I've only been back in wow for 2 weeks and I'm badge-poor but I need epic gems for my JC trinket. Hopefully once we spawn the JC vendor on the Isle I'll be able to buy them instead of using my badges.

I made a pretty serious miscalculation last night when it comes to the new spirit formula. Does anyone know of a good calculator that I can use to evaluate the spirit formula for resto druids? I have heard that the formula is the same for all classes, but there is also info on the net which suggests otherwise. Not sure which is true.

I basically want something that I can use to plug in numbers and it outputs my mana regen both while casting and while not casting.

 

[Anubis]

id say look on EJ but im sure you have done that, all i know is that ll our druids are putting the +22 healing gem in every slot they have when they become available for badges (except to keep a meta bonus) as they have no issues with regen

 

[Xavier434]

Ya I plan to do the same with gems. However, there are some gear decisions which require consideration. For example, I would like to run a comparison between the Kilt that Shade of Akama drops as opposed to the T6 pants assuming all +22 healing gems are socketed.

you guys killing souls yet? and do you have the akama pants?

i only ask because it might be a while before you get to Council, and if you have the akama pants you should just gem them now and then regem the T6 if/when you get them

No and no.

We are at 4/9 BT with Gorefiend dead so there is some time. However, it will not be too terribly long. We have been progressing quickly. Plus, I need to consider a few things. First, taking the akama pants means replacing my T5 pants. This means I am giving up spirit/mana regen for +healing. The question is how much and is it worth it considering where I currently stand with mana regen vs +healing. I can't make an educated decision on what to do without running an accurate comparison between trading my T5 for Akama pants, trading T5 for T6 pants, and trading Akama pants for T6 pants. For this, it would best if I had a calculator because this will not be the last time I need to run such comparisons. Plus, I would hate to waste 3 spinels on the Akama pants only to find out that I will not be using them.
