NOTE: Epic-quality gems (aside from the Jewelcrafting-only gems) will not be available until the Black Temple and Battle for Mount Hyjal raids become available. In the table below, gems will be categorized by their color and provided stats. There are also a number of Jewelcrafter-only gems, although most of the quality gem cuts come from world drops or raid drops. As previously mentioned, Meta gems can only be socketed into Meta gem sockets.Ī majority of the gems that players will use to socket their gear will be from a Jewelcrafter.

The benefit of using multi-colored gems to fulfill a Meta gem requirement is that they will count as both colors. For example, Chaotic Skyfire Diamond requires at least 2 Blue gems to be socketed in the player's gear, whereas the Bracing Earthstorm Diamond requires a deliberate balancing of more Red gems than Blue gems. Similar to socket bonuses, Meta gems will have specific requirements before their bonuses will become active - many of which vary in complexity. For example, Regal Seaspray Emerald matches a Blue or Yellow socket. While the solid-color gems will only match their corresponding socket colors, the multi-color gems will match two socket colors.

If the socket bonus on a piece of gear isn't appealing, however, any socket can occupy any color of gem (with the exception of Meta gems and Meta gem sockets).
For example, if a piece of gear has one Red socket, players can socket a Bold Living Ruby, Inscribed Noble Topaz, or Sovereign Nightseye to fulfill the socket bonus as each of these gems match a Red socket. Sockets can only be Red, Blue, or Yellow, although there are single-color and multi-color gems that players can use to fulfill the socket bonus. To fulfill the socket bonus, the socket colors must be met. In Burning Crusade Classic, most gear will have 1-3 sockets and a socket bonus that grants additional stats. In this guide, we will cover all of the gems that players can obtain from Jewelcrafting, heroic dungeons, vendors and other sources. Welcome to Wowhead's guide to the gems that are available in Burning Crusade Classic.
