Is it worth to invest on gem right now?

As others have said it’s not a huge rush. there’s no content currently that demands a specific gem level. I would build up a set of lvl 7s on your main though rather than selling otherwise it will be a big expense later. The immediate profit is nice but, it could hurt you down the line if people start to build up to lvl 8 or 9 and you are still at 5/6.

If some really difficult content drops gem prices might go up since people will try to min max to squeeze out more performance and you don’t want to get stuck in that situation.

Price will go down but keep in mind people have alts so it will likely be slow.

I run Lv 6-8 on 5 characters right now.

My issue with going higher is if I roll something I have that’s good I end up selling it instead.
I don’t know about ‘rushing’ but certain classes feel considerably better to play with more CDR.

Wardance and Shock Scrapper are two that come to mind.

if i were to buy now for like 13k lvl 7 gems

will it drop to below 10k in like 1 month?

i have been checking on reddit old post:

i found out that 1 month ago lvl 6 gems was only like 2-2.5k

now they are 3.5 - 4k

they actually increase… wut

33

I personally wouldn’t buy any.

Like the gems I sold I rolled a Lv. 6 Nella’s CDR. All Gunlancers use that so easy 6k at the time.

I was obviously trying to upgrade something else but that’s how the gem market is. If you wana buy a gem, it’s best to sell a gem or just wait it out like I do. The gold situation was something else. Not specific to gems. When they had all those events there was a huge influx of mats but not gold so gold became very valuable. Now it’s calmed down.

ie Blues sold for 380g per stack at the time. Now they’re 700g.

34

Level 10 gems are 200K-400K each depending on the gems…that is not cheap. That costs more than leveling up your gear to cap.
If you are planning valtan I would collect a set of level 7s as anything higher costs a ton

35

Reasons why it might go up:
-People gearing alts
-Gold inflation

Reason why it might go down:
-More supply

36

Typically people do this

  1. ilvl
  2. accessories
  3. engravings
  4. gems
  5. cards

Most just havent gotten to pushing #4 yet

37

Level 7s are 3.5k… if that is not cheap then you’re delusional.

38

and it takes 27 of them to make 1 level 10 gem of a random spell and they are 9500 gold for level 7s

39

Level 7s are 10k+ on NA East.

40

Yep

They are increasing because we had events giving gem boxes before. I would just wait until we got those again.

42

They took the gems out of the event on purpose even said so in the patch notes

43

NA market is much more inflated than EU.

44

Why are you going on about level 10 gems?

45

Because I already have all 7s on my main and primary alt. Trying to farm up my 1st level 10 legit and holy cow is it hard to farm up a 10. Its prob going to take me 3 weeks just to get 1 of them

46

wut, how is it so cheap

wat server is this

47

Its an MMORPG, you’re meant to grind and slow-road it. Yea you might be jealous of the people with lvl7 or higher but know they paid for 90%+ of their gems, likely through RMT.

You don’t need lvl7 right now or anytime soon. Grind and fuse, mang.

48

Stop assuming that everything you don’t have is RMT, that is a miserable way to cope.

Level 7 gems were extremely affordable when we had the naruni race event.

No they weren’t. Your definition of ‘extremely affordable’ differs from majority of the playerbase.
It isn’t cope, the same people with lvl7 gems or higher have +12 engraving slots and are 1460+. Shhh.
