Gems and Gem Values The looting and selling of gems off the corpses of monsters can be very profitable and is recommended for both new and veteran players alike. Gems can be sold to both NPC Jewelers and Provisioners. When selling a lot of gems to NPC vendors, razor sell agents are invaluable. NPC Vendors Pay: Amber 25 Citrine 25 Ruby 37 Tourmaline 47 Amethyst 50 Emerald 50 Sapphire 50 Star Sapphire 62 Diamond 100 It is important that you are getting the top dollar for your gems from NPC vendors. The amount of gold NPC vendors pay per gem is affected by their inventory. NPC vendors will stop paying default sell price after they have been sold 25 of any particular item. After 25 items, the vendor will pay considerably less per gem. This can be easily worked around by selling gems at a different jeweler or provisioner shop. *NPC vendor's inventories will reset every hour, however are only checked once a player gives the "vendor buy" command. So before you begin selling again to a vendor after having waited the hour, say vendor buy, then begin selling. An alternative use to gems other then selling to NPC vendors: they can also be used to recharge communication crystals. A gem will recharge 10 times the amount it costs to buy (I.E. a sapphire that costs 100 gold will recharge 1000 points)
