Undocumented Opportunity!

For this particular piece of information, you will need to act fast.

Honor Gems

Apparently Blizzard has started listening to the people who were objecting to the 75k honor cap, especially since there was no way to liquidate the honor once you were already at the cap. So as to solve this, blizzard has made a change that was not mentioned anywhere, that is.

They have given the jewelcrafting vendor in the Orgrimmar (alliance will have their own equivalent) the ability to sell you blue gems for 10,000 honor points. Yep, you heard right, at the honor cap, you’ll be able to buy 7.5 scarlet rubies and either sell them straight away or cut them and sell. It is a pretty good way to deflate the market however, especially since a lot of people predict that gem prices will slowly skyrocket when season 6 begins and Ulduar easy mode enters farm stages and people grab tons of new gear with sockets.

You will probably want to slowly sell half your stock at the highest possible price you can fetch, and then keep a watch out for the next gearing phase of 3.1, likely within a few days to a week. So for those, who are honor capped and have nothing else to buy, do so now! You might want to spread this knowledge out to your friends as fast as you can, because when the word gets out (like if it makes it to Wowinsider) another horde of gems will start flooding the marketplace!

    Good call. This is the first I’ve heard about this. Thanks!

    Nice tip. I bought one so I no longer waste honor when I grind those annoying kids who think raiding horde cities is funny.

    My guild has barely moved in Uldar. It’s proving to be challenging :)
    The glyph market is currently good at the moment and will decline soon but it is very server dependent. I have been buying those books of glyph mastery and those glyphs sell ok. However these things are green items so they are easily found on mobs (which limits the potential profits from the, too many books = too many ppl with the recipe – furthermore ppl don’t replace glyphs very often). On my server the market is almost gone after a couple of days (competition). Ppl buying these books for 1-2k gold are unlikely to recoup their investment.
